If the UK, where mass COVID vaccinations were rolled out earlier, is any guide, we may well see a spike in the numbers of the fully vaccinated being hospitalised. The British figures for October: 6,147 people between 50 and 80+ were admitted to hospital, with 4,805 (78%) of these fully vaccinated. Of the 2,972 deaths in the same period, 81% were fully vaccinated

Suppose you have an untried, experimental, spike-protein vax in the back office with no takers. You need the right transmissible infection. Nothing too lethal, but not trivial either. Then, as if on cue, the right infection arrives wrapped in screaming headlines. Other treatments are banned and their advocates pilloried. Oh, see how the money rolls in

Two problems attend the use of statistics. The first is sheer statistical ineptitude among medical researchers and the media's easily impressed scribblers. A second obstacle to the accurate interpretation of dry numbers is confirmation bias among researchers aiming for plaudits and publications rather than the truth

Western civilisation is on course to be drowned by sinister forces -- Marxist greenies, governments, corporates and the media -- while useful idiots in posh inner-city suburbs cheer uneconomic and unproven technologies whose deficiencies they lack the mental wherewithal to understand. Hold on to your hats, and your diesel generator if you have one.

I can grasp why Dominic Perrottet must keep onside the likes of Matt Kean and an education minister who refuses to boot Bruce Pascoe from the classroom, but in decreeing the unvaccinated must only appear in public behind their face nappies he has drawn the mask of political expedience over principle, evidence and the face of his own good sense

Alas that I lack a team of COVID 'case' tabulators, doomsday modellers and specialists in cold-shiver statistics, every single one of which appears to have been copyrighted by rival TV talkers. But I'm game to do my own calculations -- readers are invited to critique my methods, by the way -- and what I've concluded is that all the experts omit the most important element of all

Tyranny without end. Quite simply and literally, we are in the midst of the greatest attack on civil liberties by government during the entirety of modern Western civilisation. Nothing like it has been seen before. And this, to ward off (and forlornly) a virus which kills very few in the overall scheme of things

The official COVID information website advises pregnant 'persons' that COVID vaccinations are without risk, being safe 'at any stage of pregnancy'. How can they be so sure? An April study in the 'New England Journal of Medicine' advises 'more longitudinal follow-up, including ... large numbers of women vaccinated earlier in pregnancy, is necessary to inform maternal, pregnancy, and infant outcomes'

We're in the grip of a capricious authoritarianism that separates children from parents, forbids bedside visits to the dying, endorses police thuggery and urges us to inform against our neighbours. The pandemic has brought out this multi-faceted ugliness, not least of which is the spin, misrepresentation and untruths peddled tirelessly by our political and managerial classes

Sydney University bioethics professor Angus Dawson puts it this way: “A choice not to be vaccinated may mean that you do not have access to certain benefits, but this is not coercion, as such.” Notice the sleight of hand? Liberties long regarded as givens are now 'benefits' and, as such, can be erased for those deemed not to deserve them
