From COVID Control To Chaos – What Now?

The public has been left to their own devices as all our previous safeguards collapse around us. We urgently need a “vaccines-plus” strategy to flatten the curve.

Covid Chaos has spread across Australia – but not in WA. Yet.

Infectious diseases expert RAINA MACINTYRE, from the University of NSW, argues Australia has swung from one extreme in pandemic control to the other – having great control of COVID, to now having the world’s highest rise in daily cases.

Across the country (except for Western Australia), COVID cases are exploding.

True case numbers are much higher than official reports, as many sick people cannot even get a test or are only tested with a rapid antigen test, which isn’t counted in statistics.

Frail, ill and vulnerable people have queued for hours at testing centres, only to be turned away. Others find testing centres closed down without explanation.

Vaxxed, Recovered or Dead

Message is clear …

It sounds blunt, but it’s the truth. Everyone is going to be exposed to COVID.

If vaxxed, you’ll most likely not even get ill. If not, you’ll likely get sick, may be hospitalized, stand a much greater chance of ending up in I tensive care, dying.

Looking for COVID-19 ‘Miracle Drugs’? We Already Have Them. They’re Called Vaccines – Quillette

Even Scottie Gets It

The pandemic has now been underway for 16, 17 months – and despite overwhelming evidence, some still argue for non-vaccine ‘cures’. Some of these claims are driven by commercial interests – they want to sell their drugs.

But many are driven by a crazed, conspiratorial worldview. Lots of far right conspiracy nuts have bought it – but that’s to be expected. As are a range of fringe Christian cults who reject modern medicine in all its forms. In their interpretation of the bible, if we get sick we have to accept it. It is, for them, God’s Will. With capitals/

No thanks.

But add to those fringe thinks the 80s natural cure fruitcakes and the hippy dippy refuseniks who want nothing to do with the modern commercial world: Et voila! A potent mix of misfits, angry thugs and self righteous religious types.

Vaccines are highly effective in reducing deaths, quite effective in reducing hospitalizations and partially effective in reducing contagion. They’re not perfect, but they’re damn good.

And, they’re the only way we have of ending the lockdowns, getting back to normal life.

Vaccine refuseniks are dancing with death.
