COVID – Health / Science
Are we overreacting to the O variant? Here is everything we know about the O variant. We don’t know if the new O variant is more transmissible, there’s not enough study on this yet. When someone says that vaccine is 40% effective against the new variant the day after the variant is announced. The important question to ask is “How do you know that already”?
MSM thinks two thirds of Australian anxiously want to jab their kids. Not sure of why they are keen, the data seems to say that kids only get mildly sick.
This is strange, 13 fully vaccinated went out for dinner at a restaurant, 11 of them got COVID. Blame the restaurant for not checking for unvax people to keep them safe. Maybe there’s another reason? The Amish people should be wiped out by now…since they don’t believe in modern medicine let alone vaccines. Strangely they have faired no worst than anywhere else in the world.
Here it is again. This family, just like my family, fully vaccinated, still got sick and didn’t prevent spreading. Good thing there’s a new variant now to cover up that it is observed that this current vaccine doesn’t work against the delta variant.
Still birth rises in Melbourne during lockdown, is it because of jabby jab? It’s an important thing to ask after jabby and we see a new trend emerge. After all how do we know long term effect if we don’t ask the question?
This is what a good doctor looks like, who genuinely cares for her patients. Here’s another doctor who say that the vaccine can’t work, there is no vaccine that you put into your arm that will protect your respiratory track.
‘They aren’t going to publish their findings, they are concerned about losing research money‘ I think it’s starting to emerge that there’s a link between getting the vaccine and having heart disease. Suspected myocarditis following a second dose of Pfizer has been occurring in Australia at a rate of 8.5 cases per 100,000 in boys aged 12–17, more than three times higher than the overall rate among all males.
3 foods to avoid because they are bad for your health- Processed packaged food, sugars and refined carbohydrates. Rather than looking at if someone is vax or unvax, for health purpose determine if you can run 1 mile (1.6km) without stopping. Going the next level up can you run 5km under the 30min mark, It’s just a little longer than the going around 1 lap of Albert park lake in Melbourne. Also can you at least dead lift your body weight?
COVID Politics – World
Israel has shut its borders to all foreigners. It also give them the opportunity to deploy counter terrorism phone tracking technology against it’s own people. Israel Admits that almost all covid infection and deaths are in vaccinated people. I’m not sure if they expected anything else considering how vaccinated they are.
Pfizer says they will have a vaccine in 100 days for Omicron variant, would be surprising considering the vaccine that’s currently used is not based on the delta version.
Additionally it means we will be locked down again until the gov can coerce 90% to take the special booster? CNN says re-infection from COVID-19 is rare, and severe diseases is even rarer. Here’s some more from the US.
The French and the Italian are joining forces to create a new anti revolt army. From the 15th Jan, you need the 3rd dose to keep a valid vaccine passport in France. France: the “health pass” will be deactivated after 7 months unless people get their “booster”.
People are being arrested by plain clothes police for protesting in Milan. The prime minister of Italy says if you do not get vaccinated, then you are not part of society. In Austria, the government celebrated a gala evening without mask while locking down unvaccinated and with a looming prospect of mandatory vaccination. Protest in Germany over the get the jab or go to jail laws. The German Health minister says “Pretty much everyone in Germany will be vaccinated, cured or dead“. The Nazi are back and now they are hunting Germans who want their haircut. Police brutality in the Netherlands. Klaus Schwab says “Execute Order 66” (Star Wars reference).
You will need your booster every 3 months in the UK now.
“Lots of free societies around the world have become COVID paranoid hermit kingdoms” “You have the COVID dictator of NZ, Jacinda Ardern, who has illegally blocked 1 million dual Kiwi citizens…from returning home…we have her boasting about creating a two-tiered society”. The NZ health minister says they will hunt you down.
COVID Politics – AUS
Don’t believe the news that tells you the protest around Australia are small scale. They are clearly not. And this headline is laughable.
It is not just anti-vaxer at protest, it’s people lives who have been disrupted, and school children who have been interrupted from their schooling. Signing ‘We are Australian‘ at a protest. Sky News reporting on the Melbourne Protest. To give an idea, at the top of the image is Parliment house, at the bottom the clock tower is the GPO at Elisabeth St. After that it doesn’t fit into a single image.
People are protesting not because they are anti-vax, they are anti-mandate. Now you are “not fully vaccinated” if you have only had 2 jabs. “‘No jab, no job’ is political, not medical. It is a fierce medical violation of a person’s conscience, rights, body, and consent. It is not patient care.” Adolf Gunner in the NT says if you protest against the mandate then you are anti-vax even if you are fully vaxxed. I thought Scotty from Marketing said we don’t have a vaccine mandate in Australia?
Just the other day the police officer were playing cricket with the protesters in Melbourne, this is how I use to remember Australia. More on that cricket. Police raiding people and then asking them to wear a mask in their own home, at which point this guy rightly declined.
Anthony Albanese (leader of the federal opposition) posted a photo of him at a BBQ with Dan Andrews. People pointed out who goes to a mates BBQ in a suit, why is the griller not on, and why does it look like the steaks were cooked on a flat pan instead of having grill marks.. The answer is it’s obviously a PR stunt that’s now gone wrong.
Senator Canavan in his powerful speech today pointed out that their is no country in which the mandates have worked to reduce cases.
Sometimes I find the most stupid comments in MSM news articles.
Here’s how you hack the Australian vaccination green tick thing on your app, just have someone else who is fully vaccinated login on your phone in the Medicare app, at which point it will validate the certificate in your QR scanning app. Also if you see those QR code scanning app and you have a sharpie on you, you can draw on them and they stop working. Awesome prank.
Don’t forget that Australia has purchased 7 years worth of boosters.
The level of stupidity in Australia, now has truckie turning around at the border to go get the PCR test.
The new pandemic laws in Victoria.
So the question was asked is “how I know that on December 15th things will go back to normal?”. First off, I’m not saying that things will go back to normal, but there is a high chance of that in Victoria if there’s no legal framework in place. And to understand why that is, you first need to understand the law the puts us in the current situation.
On March 16 in 2020, the Victoria declared of state of emergency that’s allowable under the Public health and well-being act. That allowed the law that gives the Chief health officer legal powers to enforce public health directions like mask mandate, limit the amount of people in place etc. So that we can deal with a plague situation. That law only runs for 6 month max. The government has manage to get a extension to it with the support of some cross benches (cross bench meaning these people are not from the same party as the gov, but have been willing to negotiate to help the gov get laws to pass). So they manage (in the upper house) to get extension for another 6 month in September 2020, and a further 9 month extension with the help of those cross benches in March 2021, which bring it to December 15th. I believe it’s the same 3 cross bencher who have supported the gov to get the extension through the parliament the last 2 times, and they said to the gov that they will not support another extension and that the gov needs to write a law to allow it to manage the pandemic.
Unfortunately those pandemic laws that were written flies in the face of democracy and gives the premier dictatorial power, hence why they have called him Dictator Dan. We don’t use that word dictator lightly as it’s neither bad nor good as there have been good kings in the past, but the world has moved on from rule by decree generations ago. Democracy in the western world is build by not centralising power in 1 place, but distributing power over a number of different branches to avoid 1 person having complete control. The branches of power normally in the government are:
- the executive branch – this is the premier of Victoria, the prime minister of the country, the president of a country. etc
- the legislative branch – which is the branch of government responsible for making law and regulation – eg the people who are voted into a seat in parliament. And you might think that the executive branch and the legislative branch is the same thing, and you are right sometimes it is if the government of the day has the numbers and control both houses. But under normal circumstances, the government of the day is defined as a party who has majority of people in the lower house
- the judicial branch – this the branch of government responsible for the administration of justice through their interpretation of the law. Eg the police, the judges, the legal system.
So the thing that is wrong with the pandemic laws in the current form is that it takes those 3 branches of government and centralises into 1 person, the premier, which is why it’s referred to as the dictator laws. The premier of the day can then run the place cause he can call a pandemic (based on any measure he chooses) without the need to pass any laws through parliament, he can then make all the rules he wants without parliament, he can assign who can enforce those laws (the VPS3 smooth brain peanuts I was referring to a few weeks ago), and those people whom he decided has has the power to dish out the jail and the fines and you cannot go through a court system to have a judge look over it. It’s not even the police who are enforcing those laws and being the judge at that stage. Adolf Hilter had done it before in the Enabling Act of 1933. The thing that should make you suspicious is that he has written these laws and released it on the day, when there’s usually a 2 week period where people can sit and read it and take the time to understand it, but because he wants to shut down debate on it, it went straight to a vote in the lower house and passed. The thing that even the government is not sure of is if the premier can delay a election indefinitely because the wording is so lose that you can drive a truck through it.
So then we go to what happen recently when the government thought they had the support they needed because they had drafted these laws secretly with the 3 cross benches who had supported them and didn’t bring any one else in the upper house into those conversation. They have the Queens counsel in Victoria crying foul, the legal bar crying foul, and hundred of thousand of people in the street protesting. These are normal average Australians from all difference background and different races, and different vaccination status coming together. This law is that bad, and puts everyone who lives in Victoria in danger at the whim of 1 man. If you look back into history, as I have mention there was also a health pass in Hilter’s Germany, and people were also worried about catching disease from the Jewish people because the government of the day had spread fear among the people that the Jewish people were unclean and full of disease.
And this is why we call the current era we are living through the 4th turning, because the people who have lived through the holocaust are either have dementia or are dead, and because of majority of us who yes have learnt about it, read it in books, watch some documentary, but unless we have lived through it and experience it first hand, we are all doomed to learn those lessons again unfortunately.
The arguments from the cross benches who support the bill is that it gives everyone more transparency on why the premier is making decision, but given that the premier has refused to even release the papers when ordered by the court with the decisions on why we went through 6 lock downs, and what advice the CHO had given. How can we trust them to be transparent in these new pandemic laws. Additionally the panel oversight they government claim that we will have in these new pandemic laws, are are panel of people who are not independent and are people from the own party of the government, additionally this oversight panel has no power to overrule the premier decision.
It makes no sense to put a person with an arts degree and won a popularity contest in charge of the state’s public health. Perhaps he should have provide more funding and built more ICU bed instead of trying to take more power and locking us down to destroy the economy.
I know people who have been fined during their period and they are waiting for it to end because they have not paid the fine because they think there will be nothing to back those fines up any more. I don’t know if that’s true or not because I haven’t looked into it that deeply but that makes for an interesting thought.
But all the protest could have been for nothing because the government no longer listens to the people. The pandemic laws are looking to pass today (Tuesday 30th Nov) as they have convinced another cross bench senator to support the bill. A lot of larger changes got made, however it’s still not ideal to require a majority of both houses to reverse a decision, as the government would have that majority and so therefore that part of the bill is basically useless. Expect Dan Andrew to re-declare a pandemic following the passing of this bill.
And if you want to know more about the last 2 weeks, the first half of this video provides a good explanation.

House prices are through the roof prices going up because of land shortage in Australia, along with record migration last year. Wait hold on, there’s no shortage of land if anyone has travelled Australia at all, and migration was zero, so why are house prices through the roof then?

Upgraded my desktop to windows 11 over the weekend. It’s stopped my crashing issues I was having with Firefox and windows 10. But the one thing that annoys me is that there is no longer an option to not stack windows in the task bar. I have found it better for productivity reasons to be able to see each and every window in the task bar. I have found a hack around that I might try, but it will be nice if Windows can fix this issue natively in the OS
