Covid-19

Hi All

All ok here, but missing the social interaction. To say more would be to get into politically inappropriate speech, which I choose not to inflict on my friends.

Cheers Phil

Things have taken a worrying turn here in Oz. In particular the state of Victoria has been quick to use heavy police tactics to quell any opposition to its dictates. By now everyone will have seen the pregnant woman being handcuffed in her pyjamas in front of her children for daring to try and organise some peaceful opposition to the stage 4 lockdown in Melbourne.
One aspect that is not mentioned in the mass media is that the police are canceling the shooters licenses of people charged with guide line infringement such as not wearing a mask, not maintaining social distancing etc
At the same time at a recent BLM rally in Melbourne where thousands broke the rules the authorities turned a blind eye. Not a single infringement notice or arrest.
I hesitate to get political but there is a lot more at stake here than just a health problem. Some people are definitely taking advantage of the situation to further their agenda.

Tiranny has arrived in Italy. Our government requires all Italian workers to have a "passport" to work! People without "papers" can be fined up to € 1,500 and suspended without pay indefinitely. This is evil, this is totally insane. Pray for us.

Thank for your attention, friends.

Ah yes, the vaccine passport. A contentious issue here in Canada as the governments are making it mandatory to take the jab or lose your job. Personally, I got the vaccine as soon as it was available to me, however I believe and understand in the freedom of choice for those who do not want an experimental drug put in their body. Here in Canada that represents about 20% of the eligible population.



That 20% has been showing up wherever our current PM has been campaigning, shouting slurs and expressing their displeasure with him and his mandates.



In this province you require both shots in order to go to places like restaurants, museums or most events. We have cards with a Q code on them, and have to show ID as well. Can tattoos be in the future?


Strange times.

The polio vaccine was an experimental drug that every school kid received. It eradicated polio. The smallpox vaccine eradicated smallpox. If it wasn't for the fact that these anti-vaxers can wander around like typhoid mary I say let them be. Too many snowflakes claiming "rights".

And thalidomide was prescribed to many pregnant women in order to relieve pregnancy nausea.


I don't think we are going to achieve an agreement on this subject. I also do not believe that if we manage to vaccinate 95% of the eligible population we are going to eradicate this one. Children under 12 are not presently allowed to vaccinate, they congregate from families into groups daily, and their own risk of serious illness is minimal. Never mind that variants of Covid have and will develop which are more resistant to the current vaccinations.



As I said, I got vaccinated as soon as it was available to me. But I respect those that are waiting for more data so they can make an informed decision.
