CV and mad panic behaviour

Biden faces a problem in the US we don't really face here. Trump voters & most of the GOP have joined forces with anti-vaxxers to make the vaccine a political issue (as has happened with masks as well). Certainly, the Labor & Liberal Parties are pushing vaccination, so much so that Slomo & Gladys are looking at it as the way out of the current imbroglio.

Trump told all his fans to get vaccinated, they booed him lol.

I saw an interview with George Conway (the husband of Kellyanne Conway & committed anti-Trumper) well before that rally. He was asked why Trump didn't lean into the vaccine and promote it as the "Trump Vaccine". Conway noted that people think that Trump can get his fans to follow his every word but Conway suggested Trump had been successful by telling them what they wanted to hear. And they didn't want to hear about vaccines or masks, so he wasn't going to risk his supposed political clout by telling them to do something that they'd reject out of hand. And then Trump proved Conway both right and wrong by trying to go there. But he did back off much quicker than Guy Sebastian.

Maybe the unvaccinated should be required to wear flowing white robes and to ring a bell?

...and push carts up and down the street. Cue... Monty Python.

Bang! The TGA has banned GPs in Australia from prescribing Ivermectin as a Covid treatment.

What was pushed in Wilcannia regarding ivermectin was reprehensible.

The FOI gift that keeps on giving.

The same biodistribution studies released from Japan showing LNP accumulation in the ovaries of rats were actually released by the TGA in a FOI document here

Why weren't women told?

Note the spleen and liver too.

Short sharp 7 day lockdown is the way to contain this strain our premier said. He also said we don’t want to be like NSW.

6 weeks later still in lockdown and up to 450 cases.  Give us a few more weeks and watch us surpass NSW

How can anyone ever doubt ‘I can’t recall’ Dan.

I wasn’t aware of that. Agreed, absolutely despicable.

Indigenous Australians in Covid-hit Wilcannia targeted by ivermectin spruiker, The Guardian.

It was particularly sleazy that they intended to direct market Ivermectin to residents after community leaders and medical practitioners gave them a firm no.

I’d like to think this low act was what forced the TGA to act, but in the main it seems it was to stop runs on Ivermectin which is needed by sufferers of scabies, Ross River Fever and the like.

I wonder why there aren’t tighter controls over the Telehealth system. Surely it wouldn’t take much to figure out that a conspiracy theorist with a stethoscope had become the go-to guy for stuff like Ivermectin. And the health practitioners’ regulators should intervene much more.

There are concerns over the NSW policy which sees Covid patients remain at home with daily Telehealth checkups. That’s great for the Govt as it reduces the demand for beds in hospitals. But there have been deaths where patients did okay for a couple of weeks but then had precipitous crashes. I hope Victoria doesn’t go down that path.
