You keeping an eye on Florida? 45% drop in COVID cases, no masks, no lockdowns, no passports, no mandatory jabs. Bet you were one of those calling the Florida Governor 'DeathSantis' when he refused the draconian COVID policies we are privileged to be surrounded by.

There was no misinformation or clusterfuck...just you trying to find excuses. 100% a covid death.

You find that post I called him DeathSantis or similar and I will donate $200.00 to cancer research. You donate $200 to cancer research if you don't backup what you claim I said.

Your question about flying - do I ever want to fly again? Yes. I took a flight today for business interstate and am currently in the lounge. And? As for international travel, that will open up again once this house of cards falls down.

Re backing up.... Are you talking about what I claimed you said or posted?

Shorto, what’s your reference for this statement: “ Our constitution protects us from any force or coercion in relation to a medical procedure”?

Is that explicit? I haven’t seen any constitutional (High Court) challenges. The terms of s51 xxiii are oft quoted, but don’t seem to have not been successfully used to challenge public health orders.

And that's really the big question! Why doesn't the High Court see coercion in this? I see coercion. And I think many more do. But the High Court doesn't. How should this be understood?

Well, I guess there’s what you see and then there’s what the legal interpretation of the term ‘civil conscription’ actually means.

This seems to sum it up:
https://www.aap.com.au/constitutional-clause-doesnt-ban-vaccine-mandates...

“THE VERDICT

Several legal experts say that the Australian Constitution’s “civil conscription” clause does not render mandatory COVID-19 vaccines illegal, although no such mandate has been introduced in the country for the general population.

They say this section only prevents the government from forcing doctors and dentists to undertake tasks against their will and it does not apply to the broader public. However, others have argued the same clause could be construed as extending the right of refusal to individual patients.”

It may feel like coercion, it may even be coercion, but the section of the constitution quoted doesn’t look like it holds the legal relevance to deal with it.

Here’s the latest from Professor Petrovsky and his Australian made vaccine . He certainly pulls no punches in what he thinks of the current federal government and the TGA . Yes he stands to personally profit from this but there are bigger issues that need answering here and it seems like same shit different day from Scotty and co. Its a 33 minutes interview.

Oh look its the blindboy back up team , the facts are dickyboy that two major trials are currently underway in the US , one is the active 6 which is sponsored by the NIH the other by a university, then there’s Monash university trials and the UK principal trials. Then there’s the legal storm in the US with pharmacy trying to block doctors legal prescriptions and the AG in certain states stepping in . You pair don’t have a problem with the government not supporting what may be the best and safest vaccine yet from Professor Petrovsky . Go ahead have a rant I’m off for my second surf today .

Good for a laugh and frustrating as hell that these muppets will likely push a lockdown as soon as they can.

Maybe you can write a letter to the governments and universities conducting these trials and tell them to stop this nonsense now . Once they realise who you are and that you have higher credentials than Professor Clancy plus many other professional scientists and researchers and more knowledge than Professor Borody on treating covid patients then I’m sure they will all stop this nonsense. Then you and Dr Dick Vocal m.a.d . can skip happily through the tulips. I’m off again now going for surf number 3 today , bit below average surf but water is sensational .

The truth is finally coming out . As so often the case it is not the mistake but the cover up that causes the most trouble . Fauci did lie !

NIH Admits Funding Gain-Of-Function COVID Experiments; Gives EcoHealth Five Days To Report Data

BY TYLER DURDEN
THURSDAY, OCT 21, 2021 - 09:26 AM
A top NIH official admitted in a Wednesday letter that the US-funded so-called "gain-of-function" research in Wuhan, China - and that the US nonprofit which conducted it, EcoHealth Alliance - led by the controversial Peter Daszak, "failed to report" that they had created a chimeric bat coronavirus which could infect humans.

In a letter addressed to Rep. James Comer (R-KY), NIH Principal Deputy Director Lawrence A. Tabak cites a "limited experiment" to determine whether "spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model." According to the letter, humanized mice infected with the modified bat virus "became sicker" than those exposed to an unmodified version of the same bat coronavirus.

Dr. Fauci is still the top-paid federal employee earning $434,312 in 2020. Fauci is the Director of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and current Chief Medical Advisor to the President.

The BIG question is WHEN will Biden sack him ?

Later rather than sooner is my guess .

Respectfully shorto you do not seem that open minded to me. From what I've read it seems you have shut the door on the clear and demonstrated benefits of the vaccines and have difficulty weighing it up against the risk of covid.

It is a good point fr has raised here. Millions of Australians have rolled up their sleeves for the jab and are getting on with things. If you haven't been convinced by the overwhelming success of the vax rollout to date it's difficult to see what will convince you to roll up your own sleeve now or some time in the future.

If you genuinely to believe the vaccines are not safe (which I believe you are genuine) then you must really despair for the 18 million Australians who have had the jab to date and who at least from where I stand, seem to be fine and getting on with our lives.

McFace, thanks for your feedback. But respectfully, if I wasn't open minded then I probably would have lined up by now. I dont know know you can link not lining up with a majority as being closed minded? And that right there is my point. In terms of sickness, we are no better off now than what we were before hand? Other than a bigger reliance on big pharma under a forever commitment to continual booster obligations (to maintain freedoms), we've achieved nothing. A big backwards step for humanity.

I feel the same as shorto . I have had the vax .

Not despair but worry .

I worry about the small business failures , the anxiety of people and kids due to lock down . The missed experience's . If we have to do it all again for a new strain of covid . The divide it has caused . The freedoms we may lose . The benefits versus the costs .The lies we have been told . The possible long term side effects .

Hutch I can understand this feeling and I too hope this will be the end of broad scale lockdowns. I personally think that the government on both sides have done well to navigate this pandemic in a way that minimises the loss of life and strain on our health system while also keeping some normality where possible. Sometimes the approach has been too conservative and other times too cavalier. However, I can appreciate that others may feel like the approach has been too conservative, particularly if you've been affected more than most, even though I wouldn't necessarily agree with it all.

My question to shorto was more directed at (what I interpret as) his hardline anti vax approach and the reluctance a minority of Australians have with getting the jab.
