Australia: Scores arrested at anti-coronavirus lockdown protests

No, it's because I didn't have a lifestyle which was heavily dependent upon 'manufactured entertainment'. I have not had to give up anything, IOW. That was a choice I made decades ago, and has nothing to do with COVID.

 

I could die tomorrow from a number of things that carry far more risk than covid. That does not excuse government preventing me from living today.

Some fear death to the point of never living. I am proud of the Aussies standing up for themselves.

 

My gecko is happy living under a rock.

 

Lol sure ha ha

 

No a majority of them are probably vaccinated.

The vaccine isn't really a vaccine. It's just wishful thinking and advertising.

 

Support Anti Viral R & D
End 100% dependence on vaccines

 

Not to be infected by 'you.'

 

There are 'probably' cheese factories on the Moon as well. So....you reckon the vaccines are totally useless?

 

No I don't. It just creates antibody dependence no other vaccine does.

 

Why is the vaccination rate in Australia so low? I would think it would be ramped up to coincide with the Marshall law type lock down.

 

So nobody should be allowed freedom because you didn't exercise it?

That's quite some cope.

 

A road accident is not contagious. Cancer is not contagious. A plain crash is not contagious. The flu isn't anywhere near as contagious.

This is not an ordinary risk. We haven't seen anything like it in a hundred years. That's why so many people are having trouble grasping the enormity of it .. because in their lifetimes (and likely that of their parents and grandparents), nothing like this has happened.

 

I did exercise freedom - that's the point. And I choose to exercise that freedom by avoiding manufactured entertainment, in favour of the wide open spaces and liberty of the natural world, family, friends, animals, garden, homemade music, art, books, conversations, homecooked meals, etc. I chose that long ago, because I never wanted to be dependent on a complex urbanised system just to get through the day. It's not privilege either, so don't imagine it's a function of same - I worked danged hard for it, for many years.

 

That too, of course. There's definitely hope there, but it's a long road.

 

Because our Govt bought the Clot Shot, when other nations were rejecting it. Only elderly people have been comfortable taking it, and everyone else held out for Pfizer (which was a long time coming, and then only in dribs and drabs).

 

No, they are not. The majority in that age range are not vaccinated.

 

It's correct. We have a few elderly people who've had one dose, and have underlying health problems. Everyone else in hospital is unvaccinated.

 

Again so because you didn't exercise that freedom it should be denied to others?

 

How do you know?

 

The Govt was slow getting this in action. In fact, because of the State led lockdowns, the lazy dickhead Prime Minister we had was forced to acttually ramp it up or his economy was to be stuffed. That is....the lockdowns have been a catalyst in getting the vax rates into overdrive. We even had to 'beg' Poland to send us a million doses of Pfyzer. They now have pulled the finger out and we will reach 70-80% vaccinated by year's end at the current rate.

 

Indeed we are standing up for ourselves…by looking after our mates and taking the very simple and necessary steps to stamp out this flare up.

And heaping scorn upon the lunatic few who are behaving like wannabe T****ists…

 

You won’t get a straight answer…

Because, WITHOUT TARGETING THAT POSTER DIRECTLY, that argument is put with a background of a country that has seen 650,000 of its people needlessly slaughtered by this disease. So, any argument that seeks to criticise another country that has successfully dealt with the infection, reeks of insincerity…

 

Yep - some people are afraid of giving straight answers because it exposes the weakness of their position. They want to criticize the measures Australia has taken but can’t avoid the fact that those measures have been more than 50 times more effective than USA’s approach.

The intellectually honest thing for them to say would be that they are prepared to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of American lives in order to preserve their personal freedoms, but they won’t come out and say it.

 

For me it was my second flu ever, yes it was somewhat worse, but I was much older then the previous first time. But that should have sealed my fate considering all the underlying conditions they claimed marked me for death, clearly that didn't happen.. I later, "Seven months" after it was reported to be COVID-19 had my doctor add the antibody test to my yearly panel and tested positive for them. Just seven weeks ago I had him add it again to my yearly panel and again tested positive for the antibodies. He believes from the count that I must have caught the virus again recently as the count was to high to be from 2020 the first time I was tested.

So all I can tell you is what I experienced the first time I contracted it and honestly can't even tell you or him that I even experienced a second bout with COVID or the variant.. But what I believe is, people should have contracted the first strain, which I believe was milder than the mutant strains that evolved in 2020. In my case I believe my immune system after being introduced to COVID in Dec 2019 now has less of a hurdle with the ever changing virus..

But isn't that what our immune system is meant to do? It's far to late for many that panicked and shut themselves in to approach this any other way now other then experimental vaccines simply because they avoided the necessary building blocks early to combat the virus mutants..

Good luck!

 

What is a lie about that segment? The authorities literally say that getting out for some fresh air can literally cost you! It's freaking draconian! If you are that fearful of a virus that has a survival rate of 99.9%, then just lock yourself in a broom closet for the next couple years while normal human beings live their life and get to natural herd immunity
