Australia has rightfully been criticized for its ‘COVID zero’ policy. It’s locked down the country. The borders were closed, and concentration-like camps were built. All of this to contain a virus with a 99-plus percent survival rate. The nation is now super-vaccinated as well, with every state having an 80 percent rate among those who are 16 years of age or older. That was the ticket to loosening the regulations. Still, ‘Australia has fallen’ still manages to make it into the trending topics on social media, with various clips showing how this nation has descended rapidly into authoritarianism to contain COVID.

Guess the leaders of the country want to maintain it as a penal colony it started out as.

In my lifetime, I have always considered the Aussies to be a tough bunch of folks, given their beginnings as a penal colony. Now we are watching a nation which pushed forward to civilization, only to take a centuries sized leap backwards to their roots. This just breaks my heart to see such ignorant leadership in what I always considered one of the bright lights of the Commonwealth. But tyrants are gonna tyrant, it is in their genetics.

I'd like to see a chart of how omicron compares to other diseases that are "mild, though super contagious". Apparently, measles and chicken pox are more contagious than omicron, along with influenza and the common cold (all several hundred viruses that qualify.)
Which one of them should result in national lockdowns and quarantines?

Riccardo Bosi has had an impact on getting them to back off.
Wish we had a man like that here!

This is what government can do to you if, like the Australians, you give up your guns....

The article puts out a claim which are unsupported by the facts in evidence.
For example:
"Given that Omicron is mild and the population is highly vaccinated, the outcomes aren’t as devastating pre-vaccine. That’s the logic."
The outcomes before these mRNA shots were not devastating for most healthy people under 70. The overwhelming majority of people who were infected never even got noticeably sick, never reported it to anyone. Look at Sweden. They did almost nothing, mostly protected the very weak and the virus moved through, killed some vulnerable people, like influenza does, and Sweden moved on without significant economic damage. In the whole of the first world, only Sweden got it right. Australia got it very wrong, as did New Zealand, and Israel.
The 99.98% survival statistic is way off, because of not including huge numbers who got infected and recovered without becoming part of the data set. Huge numbers infected but unreported. This is widely ignored, of course, because it doesn't help scare people. How many actually infected but never part of the calculations? A lot.
But how to convince people that it is more deadly? Falsely attribute 96% of the deaths by offering bounties to hospitals. Of the "500,000 US COVID deaths" widely quoted, according to CDC, 96% are not "from" Wuhan virus. So that leaves 4%, or 20,000 actually FROM the Wuhan virus.....about 1/3 of a worse-than-average 60,000 death influenza year. Not devastating. Certainly dangerous to older people, and the infirm, yes. But so is the annual flu.
The whole thing has been massively manipulated. Yes, there is a real virus, yes it has killed a lot of people, but so does influenza every year, without the hysteria, and with NO disruption of most of our lives.
The fraud is "over" because the totalitarians cannot sustain the lies any longer. THAT is what is happening.
The excuses are just that, excuses.

I’m starting to get the feeling that this has been one, big socio-psychological experiment. Has it learned all it needed to know, or is this a pause and regroup moment?

This does make one wonder; was the deliberate release by the ChiComms of this previously unknown threat to mankind choreographed in advance with the west's leftist crowd? Or was it a case of those with evil intent in the west quickly seeing a benefit to their evil cause and just running with it, making it all up on the fly?

What a load. I live in Sydney and I’m as free as a bird. I go where I want when I want. I eat out, I shop, I even went to a BBQ in a park with about 50 people on the weekend. It may also surprise you to know that the majority of Australians agree with Djokovic not being allowed to play. Also #3 some of us came here with a suitcase not a ball and chain. Stop believing everything you read.

This is an election year so the Aussies will get the chance to express what they think of all this.
