Is the Old Fart, claiming the Covid vaxx turned people into aboriginals? Seems from his last post he's off with he fairies again. Earth calling ttbn, come in space cadet, where are you?

Thanks ttbn.

I liked the bits on "throw more borrowed money" (Tax payers money is trusted to the government to provide services to the Tax payers, not as a junket fund), and the recent report from the IMF.

I was listening to the report from the IMF on the Albanese Financials on ABC radio the other day between the rolling reports on Africa and European Colonialism (defund the ABC). Interesting perspective.

It's a pity that I put it in the wrong thread!

On mhazes's thread, I would disagree only with "uncontrolled". It was controlled alright: we were definitely controlled, and we will be again if Australians insist on voting for the same controllers.

I still see daft people driving around, on their own, wearing masks; and many people will fall for the latest news about umpteen people going down with Covid. I note that Bill Clinton was hospitalised with an unnamed respiratory disease (sounds scarier if unknown). Turns out he had the common old 'flu.

In my dotage, I am now expected to have a regular 'health care plan appointment' on top of all the 6 weekly ones to see if I'm still living. I thought we were over Covid hysteria, but I still get the offer of a booster, which I decline.

Big Pharma has put itself on top of the 'public enemy list' with its big money-making, useless vaccines for Covid; and their latest offering will be just as useless as all the others.

"Mrs mhaze is immuno-compromised. She has cancer is on chemo.
There is an element of stupidity here but Indyvidual should look closer to home to find it."

I'm truly sorry to hear that mhaze.
Do you think it was related to the vaccines?
I'm sure there are many stories like this being swept under the rug.
I'm sorry for gloating and saying 'I tried to tell you all' if that came across as being insensitive to your situation.
I wish both Mr and Mrs mhaze my sincere best wishes and a full and complete recovery.

Thanks for that AC but all is well.

Mrs mhaze has had this cancer since 2021. She was on chemo before the vaccine came out and was already immuno-compromised at that time.

Under normal circumstances I'd have rejected the vaccine when it came out. But due to my wife's state, her specialist advised that if she caught covid, there was little chance she would survive. So we went into ultra-isolation and I did all I could to ensure I didn't bring the dreaded virus into her realm. Part of that was getting the shots on the basis that I'd prefer to take the risk than risk her.

These days she still has traces of the cancer but its fully under control. She remains on periodic doses of chemo which in turn means her immune system is less than good. But with the advent of the anti-viral medications, getting covid is no longer a death sentence. Indeed she was diagnosed as having it a year ago but the anti-viral meds knocked it over in days.

A full recovery is no longer on the cards. But she's no worse today than she was a year ago and the specialists are confident they can keep the cancer under control indefinitely, provided we are sensible.

mhaze,
The very same people (Medical Scientists) who treat Cancer sufferers are the ones who experiment with vaccines etc. Some experiments result in higher success rates than others but nevertheless, experiments they are & will be to the day they find ways to 100% satisfy everyone's need.
Cancer studies never experienced as much hostility as the COVID studies although they might just as easily have a much higher failure rate than the recent Covid cases.
I'm an uneducated bloke but I don't believe that anyone can produce a Wonder vaccine such as the radical Left expected & created such inexcusable disruption to society ! I'm convinced that some Covid sufferers were saved by the actions taken & some had severe if not fatal outcomes.
I ask again, "what should we do when the next pandemic arrives?" Tell us now so we can avoid the senseless arguments from last time !
