My goodness what an ordinary article.

A clapped together series of thought bubbles, none of which amount to anything but trite observations, while studiously downplaying the fact that our premiers did a great job of staving off the virus until the vast majority of Australians were vaccinated and a less virulent strain muscled out Delta.

A bit more effort next time please.

SR. While there is no disagreement in what you claim. The job they did would not have been as difficult if we but had island quarantine for all inbound and rap testing at all border crossings internally.

Some of the better control solutions as envisaged may have inconvenience a few fat cat privileged minority. And I contend, the reason they were not rolled out from the get go.

As for learning to live with this virus, we can and should eliminate from these shores then keep it out permantently, with mandatory island quarantine, antivirals and mandated vaccinations. Then deprive this virus of any viable host, without which, it dies out!

Know this, it mutates in unvaccinated hosts! Who knows what the next variant will do or infect? What happens if the next variant starts to kill masses of children?

I'll leave that with you and the solutions I've promoted as someone who graduated from military medical school with honours. And majoring in trauma management and infectious diseases!

AS opposed to this or that hasbeen who know SFA about infectious diseases and their control. Many of who have MD shingles above their surgeries? And rely on DR Google for their info and treatment options?

I may "know SFA about infectious diseases and their control" Alan, but it appears I know a whole lot more than you.

It is non performing vaccines that force, & aid virus to mutate. As with incomplete kills when antibiotic treatments are stopped early causing the development of resistant strains, faulty "vaccines" do the same with a virus. I am amazed that even you don't know that. Perhaps it is simply what you don't want to know, not basic stupidity at all.

Climate change is real, it's always been real same as Global warming. Sadly, also real is the scamming of uncontrollable natural phenomena. Many argue that 'something' can & should be done about it. The evidence to-date shows that nothing has nor could be done by humans, why else has nothing been achieved to that effect ?
The planet can handle pollution, what it can't handle are the excesses ! From recreational fishing to frivolous motor sport, excessive breeding in fact just about everything humans do is excessive.
Environmental issues have become massive money schemes nothing to do with saving the environment. Remember the $444 Million Turnbull gave to the Great Barrier Reef outfit ? What effect has that money had on the state of the Reef ? In their defence, they didn't ask for that much I believe but still, what has been done and, what are the results ?

While we don't have power over nature! we have some power to make positive change! We could, if we could ignore the energy barons, use MSR thorium to power the poorest of the poor and reverse desertification!

And we could if we embraced cooperative capitalism and MSR thorium. Just these two solutions would deprive the energy barons of most of their damaging power and control.

A very wealthy Canadian businessman tells what he experienced when clinically dead for 11 minutes. And supported in that claim by hospital records. While clinically dead he saw both heaven and hell! And knew without redeemtion he was headed for the terrifying latter.

Today, he is a completely different man who uses his personal wealth for good deed activities. I can relate as someone who arrived in hospital twice as DOA! And saw what he saw. And terrified beyound description by it.

Individual;
Climate change is not a fraud. It is a mistake.
They confused the temperature rise due to the sun's complex cycle
with the temperature rise caused by CO2.
So they allocated a too high a sensitivity to CO2.
It now looks like CO2 has been responsible for a rise of 0.1 deg C
since the mid 1800s. The rest of the rise, which now appears that it
might be slowing, was due to the sun, sunspots and Cosmic Rays driving
cloud formations.
The cycle that is responsible has been known for centuries.
The problem now is that so many political, scientific, activists,
school teachers, media peoples reputations are now at stake that they
simply cannot say "err we have a problem Houston".

Can you imagine the impact if the IPCC said, "We had it all wrong !"
Just think of the trauma at the ABC, oh they would have to call for ambulances.
