Austrialian government likely burying documents on COVID19 because they are embarrassing.
Consider the way many western countries mistakenly concluded last year that strict Chinese-style lockdowns were the right way to cope with Covid, not realising that no free society could possibly tolerate restrictions as draconian as the ones imposed all over China from late January last year, which relied on the vast network of Communist party members in every neighbourhood to police citizens’ behaviour. Neil Ferguson, the Imperial College epidemiologist, who was influential in the UK’s decision to lock down, has been quite open about his inspiration. ‘If China had not done it, the year would have been very different,’ he admitted in an interview in December. ‘“It’s a communist one-party state,” we said. “We couldn’t get away with it in Europe,” we thought. And then Italy did it. And we realised we could.’

The China model: why is the West imitating Beijing?
‘There’s an osmosis in war, call it what you will, but the victors always tend to assume the… the, eh, trappings of the loser,’ says one of the officers in Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead. ‘We might easily go fascist after we win.’ Americans have long…
el gato malo over on SubStack, who Twitter also deplatformed last year for too much coronavirus sense.
i have said it once and will keep saying it over and over:
reporting case counts without reference to testing level is tantamount to lying.
test any given population twice as much, and you’ll report twice the “cases,” but the only thing that actually changed was your sampling rate. overall prevalence was the same.
this simple fact has made so much of this data untrustworthy and it boggle the mind that public health officials continue to report “raw” case numbers at this point. there is simply no way that even they can possibly not understand this issue. it’s willful deception to push an agenda and the effects on public perception of the pandemic have been dire.
when you adjust US cases for sample rate, you get this: (the 3/27 date is arbitrary and just happens to be what i had the data scaled to. it remains the same curve shape regardless)

Mercola starts out as usual right Using mathematical models, Italian researchers have calculated the amount of time it would take for you to contract the SARS-CoV-2 virus outdoors in Milan. If 10% of the population were infected, you would require 31.5 days of continuous outdoor exposure to inhale a dose of virus sufficient to transmit infection
Then jumps to nonsense.
Very frustrating when news lies and deceives and then alternative sources have many truths but then non-facts also.
(because vaccines reduce symptoms, they don't stop transmission but they blunt it because the sicker you are generally speaking, the more you are likely to transmit it)

Quite sickening. Doctors are pretty irrelevant. They get surprisingly little training in virology & immunology. It's for infectious disease epidemiologists & viral immunologists. All of which I've spoken to say only vaccinate the vulnerable. The real "societal responsibility" is to have an independent functioning brain & to use it.

It's amazing how many times the underlying accounting mechanisms have changed over the past year.
