Re: The Reality of Living in Australia and Covid

It's a weird virus this one, apparently it discriminates.

Thousands of BLM activists hold a protest march and not one case results then a few hundred disgruntled CFMMEU members throw a bit of a riot and it's a "super spreader" event.

Good one bro.

Newest clinical trial results, show vaxxes weens off. By month six, it has zero efficacy.
Israel now introduced 4th booster shot- but still have the highest infection rate. (See the connection?)

Talking about connection, (pun intended), their 5G connections must be out of this world. I think, after the 4th booster shot, they will be able to communicate and connect with each other without cellphones.

The reality of this irregular behaviour, goes over the head of the left-brainers.
Logic have zero impact, and their incoherent rattling between arguments do not un-phase them.

In the face of proven evidence contrary to mainstream beliefs, they march forward undeterred.

In states like Florida, it is a $5000 fine if you ask someone for his vaxx card, that is how they deal with bs.

But wisdom is sparsely spread.

Re: The Reality of Living in Australia and Covid

As much as we are fed the daily barrage of news, which is not fully untrue, but multiple times amplified, we must keep at the gates.
In return we must present the other side of the coin, with evidence and fact based info.

My plea: if you want to follow the stream and get vaxxed, do it as many times as you wish. But don't push your preferences down my throat. I will rip your arm off.

And I won't occupy 'your hospital ' with my sickness, created by your leftist government.
The fact is, I contributed to the hospital probably more than you did, since socialist leftist is about equal sharing and no taxes, accept taxes paid by progressives.

Take your (rabies) shots as you like, but leave others be.

Re: The Reality of Living in Australia and Covid

How amusing. But when you are gasping for air after being infected by covid you will be begging for hospital care in this ( insert whatever garbage you want) government.
And I haven't heard about the $5000 fine in Florida. But I don't ask people if they are vaccinated. None of my business.

Keep buying those industrial grade rolls of tin foil.
The hats need to be better this year to keep the 5G out.

Denmark might be the place to be but the temperature in winter is not my cup of tea.
I grew up in Melbourne, left in '63 and when I returned to Oz ten years later bought the farm in the NEast.
I wouldn't live in Melbourne ( or any other city ) in a purple fit and only visit for one day a year. Getting from Broadmeadows to Tulla is bad enough.
However the BBC correspondant is a little old lady who lives in Hawthorn.

The Federal government truly screwed things up in their handling of the ATAGI info re AZ.

Just so you can refresh your memory and get you BP back up to operating pressure in time for breakfast.

Go down to Tassie when you get a chance. I was highly impressed with the livestyle there even in Hobart. Friendly , yes behind in time but well i dont mind that at all. Small and easy to get used to.

Only downside is the long winter and just 3 month summer at best.

beautiful but not for liveaboard sailors no. Loved Tassie but the summer is so short and the winter is really winter.

Beautiful Island.

Probably sacrilege but maybe the pond dwellers are more interesting than a bunch of boys running around a paddock playing kick-to-kick?
