Edward Curtin reckons that the world wants to be duped.
https://off-guardian.org/2023/02/19/the-world-wants-to-be-deceived/
Jeffrey Tucker refers to the majority of people as “obsequious servants of ruling-class lies”.
Well, these descriptions certainly apply to many people down under, as we persist with the Vaccine State and the official narrative goes out of its way to avoid admitting the fact that, in terms of effectiveness and safety, the Covid vaccines are a busted flush. The bodies (excess deaths) pile up, the vaccinated continue to get Covid and die in alarming and unexpected numbers and the tens of thousands of vaccine-injured are (still) dutifully ignored.
Undeterred, the Australian Government and the medical class continue to press on with Covid boosters for all.
The Government has 4 million Omicron-specific booster doses available right now and another 10 million arriving in February.
The recommendation for additional boosters comes into effect on February 20.
February will see the largest supply of new vaccines into the Australian COVID vaccine program, since late 2021
But the sell is lukewarm these days. The boosters “are anticipated to provide a benefit”. Wow. That is a comedown from the hysterical talking up of the vaccines of 2021.
The rest of the world, meanwhile, is waking up.
In Idaho this week, two lawmakers presented a bill to criminalise mRNA vaccines!
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/02/21/idaho-mrna-covid-19-vaccines/11316055002/
Florida is urging the rest of the United States to stop using vaccines, and has established a commission to investigate vaccine harms. It has issued a health alert, warning its citizens of the dangers of taking the boosters.
https://www.floridahealth.gov/newsroom/2023/02/20230215-updated-health-alert.pr.html
The UK is now restricting the boosters to a small minority deemed to be in Covid danger. Denmark restricted its vaccine roll out ages ago. Of course, every move away from the Vax State is met by an army of quibbling fact checkers. The global efforts of the fact checker industrial complex are focused and unrelenting. The propaganda remains turbo-charged.
However, while the Australian Government keeps face and the political class as a whole keeps schtum, there are undercurrents of unease across Australia. Things are hotting up. We have proven cover-ups of vaccine-linked deaths by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
We have the suggestion (from the recently formed Australian Medical Practitioners Society, AMPS) that doctors could be personally liable for vaccine injuries. Despite the then Government’s stated intent in 2021 to ensure they were covered. It now seems they aren’t.
https://amps.redunion.com.au/important-covid-19-vaccine-indemnity
We have compelling evidence of the bullying of doctors by the Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Agency (AHPRA) into cheering on the vaccines. They were told in 2021 they had to (simultaneously) ensure their vaccinating patients had informed consent AND, on pain of deregistration, uphold the vaccine “safe and effective” narrative, which many of them knew to be lies.
High court precedence and international bioethical declarations have been trashed by National boards and AHPRA who have made unquestioning compliance to government public health messaging the new accepted standard of good medical practice. Evidence based medicine, informed consent and bodily autonomy have been undermined to the point where practitioners are now seen by many as a mere enforcement arm of government propaganda. It is no coincidence that trust in our institutions and the medical professions appear to have died suddenly.
https://www.spectator.com.au/2023/02/censorship-a-threat-to-public-health-and-safety/
Here is what AHPRA told doctors in March 2021:
"Any promotion of anti-vaccination statements or health advice which contradicts the best available scientific evidence or seeks to actively undermine the national immunisation campaign (including via social media) is not supported by National Boards and may be in breach of the codes of conduct and subject to investigation and possible regulatory action".
If it wasn’t so serious, this overreach – to put it at its politest – would be seen as farcical. If it was ever reported in the media.
There has been the suggestion, too, that, in conscripting doctors to act as vaccine propaganda agents, the Australian Government and its health regulatory gauleiters may well have breached the Constitution (Section 51, relating to Commonwealth Government powers). Fortunately, in these matters, two Australian freelance investigators, Elizabeth Hart and Emma McArthur, continue to pursue vigorous inquiries and to interrogate the slippery medical regulatory establishment, as does the excellent AMPS.

Then there are the censorship laws recently passed by the Queensland Parliament.
https://www.spectator.com.au/2022/10/confidence-through-censorship-the-medical-ministry-of-truth/
Sadly, this all adds up to low information (and cowering) doctors and something of a vicious circle. As Coverse, an Australian organisation that helps the vaccine-injured, has noted perceptively:
‘If the doctor doesn’t think (something) is caused by the vaccine they may not report it… By not reporting it, the government doesn’t have the full picture so they don’t put out safety notices and then doctors don’t know that they should be looking out for it, so they don’t report it.’
https://coverse.org.au/
(The co-founder of Coverse is the partner of the high-profile, former Australian Medical Association boss and (very briefly) progressive independent Member of Parliament, Kerryn Phelps. Not an anti-vaxxer, then).
And, while all these things are going on, Australia’s ICUs remain clogged with vaccinated Covid patients. And booster take up rates have stalled badly. The third booster reached 72 per cent of the population. The fourth was taken by a mere 44 per cent.
Into this maelstrom flew the heroic American doctors, Peter McCullough and Pierre Kory, described as “quacks” by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, one of the more extreme Covid cheer squadders in the legacy media.
These newspapers are part of a campaign that was joined by pro-vax activists and even an event organiser (Eventbrite) to prevent McCullough and colleagues from being heard here. Even from being allowed to enter the country. These world-renowned medicos, all intellectual heavyweights, were relegated to the Novak Djokovic category of non-persons. This time it didn’t work.
Peter McCullough has been urging doctors in Australia to be brave and to speak out. In a series of well attended public events, he has emphasised with eloquence and power the harms that Covid vaccines do and the fact there are effective, alternate treatments that are available but which have been banned in Oz. He just wants to stop the shots. And he remains optimistic that the truth will out. Kara Thomas sees evidence of courage in Australia among the medical profession:
There are doctors and scientists across the country trying to raise safety signals, seeking answers to questions, writing letters, applying for FOI’s, and sending reports as they fight to fulfil their codes and oaths. They are heroes, great lights in this nightmare, sacrificing careers and livelihood to adhere to time-honoured codes and ethics. We need real debate, open scientific discourse, acknowledgement of injuries, and access to unredacted data. For our medical authorities and political leaders to continue to enforce censorship in the face of possibly the greatest public health mistake in human history, an iatrogenic miscarriage of medical science causing untold harm shows a reckless indifference for the sufferings of Australians.
https://www.spectator.com.au/2023/02/censorship-a-threat-to-public-health-and-safety/
Finally, amid the vaccine mayhem, the head of Australia’s TGA, John Skerritt, has quietly “retired” following his two-plus years of steering Governments through the lies and the enforcement of brutal Covid tyranny. With nary a comment from the media. The Australian Health Minister said:
During this time it was his reassurances that left Australians confident in the approval and regulation of medicines, vaccines and treatments.
Professor Skerritt has had many achievements over the course of his career including implementing the Medicines and Medical Devices Review, digital transformation, the regulation of medicinal cannabis, the rapid registration of COVID vaccines and treatments and playing a leading role in international harmonisation of regulation.
The minister added Skerritt leaves behind a large legacy.
https://www.themandarin.com.au/211007-movers-shakers-tgas-john-skerritt-announces-retirement/
A large legacy? This is risible. I assume that the Minister delivered these lines with a straight face.
John Skerritt is the man who, in 2021, claimed that the Moderna Covid vaccine was “one hundred per cent effective”. Moderna is the vaccine that was suspended or restricted in several European countries, merely months after Skerritt’s glowing encomium.
https://www.reignitedemocracyaustralia.com.au/why-tga-head-john-skeritt-must-go/
Skerritt also threatened in 2021 to sue Craig Kelly, the man who, with mining magnate and Chair of the United Australia Party, Clive Palmer, brought Peter McCullough to Australia. For spreading misinformation about Covid vaccines! Kelly and Palmer welcomed this laughable threat.
https://www.unitedaustraliaparty.org.au/uap-welcomes-legal-threats-from-tga-and-the-labor-party/
Skerritt is yet another, like Adern and Fauci, caught tip-toeing from the still-on-fire Covid building. Yet, until and unless the heat from the fire gets applied much more directly to the political class, the magnificent efforts of the medical freedom-fighters and truth-tellers will remain very much as outlier behaviour, well and truly in the background. For example, I would expect the forthcoming (25 March 2023) election in New South Wales to be yet another Covid-debate-free affair, like all the others over the past year where Covid butchers have either been electorally rewarded, or, if defeated (like Scott Morrison), have been shown the door for reasons other than their Covid policies.
The Covid justice optimists will only be proven right if the people object to what has happened. Loudly, strategically and often. Yes, the numbers of Australians now NOT getting the boosters suggests that Peter McCullough’s optimism might be justified. Yes, there are green shoots, seen in the Spectator Australia’s coverage, the emergence of truth-telling medical organisations and in the successful Freedom of Information campaigns. But the enemy is well dug in, and showing no sign of raising the white flag any time soon. The powerful vested interests of Big Covid are hanging in there, and even planning future atrocities. Hence, there is a long way to go before we can claim victory and see justice done. There are still many, many Australians, alas, for whom Edward Curtin’s description – that we want to be deceived, and not make waves – still fits rather too comfortably.

Great summary update Paul, thank you.
The entire regulatory apparatus that approved the C19 DeathShots then concealed the harms needs to be exposed and excised. And the guilty individuals need to be held accountable.
These entities are not acting in our interests. A no-brainer when you consider who funds them. Industry funding regulators - what could possibly go wrong?
As an aside, Doctors need to be free to practice medicine - so the good ones can start to restore trust.
Waving through gene therapies by holding them up to a white surface and shining a light on the vial, barely skimming the fraudulent trial data, industriously working to hide harms, blocking early treatment by proven safe options, and inverting the burden of proof for jab harms. Used to be, you had to prove it wasn't the jab. Another strange inversion...funny that. The Plandemonium has been riddled with them.
At this point in the Plandemonium we can retire the foil/figleaf/concept that mistakes were made. The idea is now laughable, and has been for a while. It would be like flipping a coin and getting 1000 heads in a row. Statistically impossible. This wasn't chance, it was intelligent design that could only be driven by malice. Which means it was following a plan. The Lockstep approach made that clear. We do tend to lag in the lucky country. In this case it will be fatal for too many.
Let's hope that the take up rate of 5th jabs continues to decline as people wake up or just grow tired as we enter the 3rd year of this saga.
Peace.
'The world wants to be duped'
Most people are happy within what used to be called 'the system'. They follow its rules and they benefit from it. They live well. Or used to live well, anyway.
Life's not so great for many people now. They've followed the system's way for many years and now that way is leading them into a hellhole. Promises made - 'safe and effective' - aren't looking so solid. And one booster stretches out to two, three, four, five... how many more? The system's followers know something is wrong but can't quite bring themselves yet to say that the problem is within the system.
