CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

The Foo Fighters have just performed a concert and insisted on entry to Vaccinated fans only...Dave Grohl copping some flak from a few other muso's for discriminating against the non vaccinated. I guess thats his right though if he considers he is protecting his band, crew and fan base.

As much as I understand the sentiment, I can't see how this can possibly be policed, it just sets up everyone for a plethora of fake vaccination certificates to deal with, etc., etc...

Was thinking the same, how do you check everyone and know their vacc credentials are valid.

Are there any anti vaxxers here?

Literally no one identifies as an anti-vaxxer.

I flicked between radio stations on the night before the Victorian lockdown searching for news about the outbreak. I had the misfortune to land on 3AW in time to hear a talkback caller blaming vaccines for all the deaths in the UK and claiming the “inventor” of the RNA vaccines had said they were unsafe to use prior to 3 or 4 years of clinical trials. The host shut him down, saying something to the effect of, ”Surely you’re not arguing against vaccines - they’re the only way out of this pandemic”. There was a pregnant pause and then the caller said, “I’m not an anti-vaxxer - I’m pro-choice!”

Anti-vaxxers have learnt from the right-wing playbook. Never admit what you’re against: always say you’re pro something that sounds nice. Don’t say you’re against Blacks voting - say you’re in favour of measures to stop electoral fraud. Don’t say you’re against restricting gun sales to dangerous people - say you’re in favour of gun rights or the 2nd Amendment.

Unfortunately, left-wingers tend to like being controversial and provocative. For example, whoever invented the slogan “Defund the Police!” should be shot. Few if any people were proposing this. Instead the proposal was to increase the amount spent on crime prevention, for instance by addressing mental illness rather than police with little experience in that area shooting people in the grips of psychosis. But you’d have to think the slogan took off because they wanted to piss off the police.

Look up Lori Lightfoot, mayor of Chicago.  Frightening anti white racist.

It's a funny thing, in many of the debates it's ultimately the truth that becomes the real victim.

Modern media is pretty weak at demanding accountability, the problem being that profit is mostly driven by the misnomer that all opinions are equal. It's the false equivalence issue raising it's head again!

Ignore the main-stream media and you'll be uninformed. Watch/listen/read the main-stream media and you'll be misinformed. Take the time to go to credible, objective sources.

Main-stream media summary: sensationalize, polarize, exaggerate, lie, divide, create fear = clicks. Clicks=loot. Loot = another yacht for owner along with power to influence media to be more sensational, polarizing, exaggerating, dishonest, divisive and fear mongering. The end.

110 new locally acquired cases to 10pm last night in NSW. Gladys is doing a great job at maintaining the rate of around 700 new locally acquired cases per week. An applaudable consistency.

The University of Melbourne modelling team that has guided Victorian Government responses to COVID outbreaks has crunched the NSW numbers:

Since you brought it up, where was the left-wing in shouting this down at the time? Plenty have walked back on their statements post that time but there were not many front and centre when it was going on.

Another creation from the left led entitlement factory. This is a key responsibility that the left is yet to acknowledge and more importantly act upon. If we are to focus on the right-wing nuts then I don't see why the left does not also clean house.

There's nothing I could find on the internet about any racist issues with Lori Lightfoot. That business about banning white journos from the 2 year anniversary press conference sounds like a strange political stunt that went awry, and more likely an attempt to distract her disgruntled supporter base from what appears to be a lack of action on issues if import. The white journos have had access to every other opportunity to ask questions. Sounds like a beat up to me.
