Leigh Sales would, at least in part, disagree with you, BB.

Sure, RWNJs have their MO, and their medium of choice, but Sales' account of abuse on Twitter is pretty eye-opening and it's almost solely from the left. Open slather abuse has no natural political home.

I watched the Leigh Sales issue on twitter when it was going on. She was tweeting that covid didn't affect children and was called out. When people reasonably pointed out flaws in her information she just started blocking people. That's what got people upset. No one deserves vile abuse but I didn't see much of that, twitter lefties are upset with her as they perceive her as making politically biased and inaccurate comments and shutting down any criticism. Her outrage at being called out confirmed her bias to them. Laura Tingle doesn't cop it from those same people, she is the darling of the left on twitter. Some of the best journalism in Australia happens on twitter, people like Ronnie Salt, Jommy Tee, the Mad Fucking Witches, Friendly Jordies, etc, all break stories that the msm either steal or can't cover because they conflict with the commercial or political interests of the owners. :Leigh Sales pile on was justified and the abuse she claims she suffered was exaggerated IMO.

Posting inflammatory and violent nonsense potentially causes real world violence. In the example I posted was related to the pandemic and pretty clearly from people best classified as RWNJs. How that relates to Jim Banks views on climate change is beyond me.

The point was disinformation around these issues, anti lock down, anti vax, the whole conspiracy theory thing be it climate change or covid or 9/11 or whatever isn't just a far right thing it covers so many spectrums, often not left or right

As does trolling around these issues or pushing the limits of trolling that can lead to violence or safety concerns or mental health issues.

Its just convenient for you and others often including media to lump them all as FRNJ but its not reality, far from it.

The Nature article addressed threats and abuse to scientists who made public statements about the pandemic particularly in relation to vaccination and ivermectin. Was any of it from LWNJs? Maybe but given the subjects it sounds like Trump, Craig Kelly etc inspired nonsense. But OK fairness must prevail how about Diversely Inspired Commenters, DICs sounds good to me.

International arrivals are meant to be a fed responsibility but they palmed it off to the states, so I'm guessing the states decide themselves how they want to handle it? Really worried about the hospital situation too. Can't see any logical reason why they won't increase funding, even if just for a one-off emergency thing. The PM claims that doctors, nurses etc are playing political games??

I'm going to call you out on this shortenism, that is simply untrue, 100's of nurses maybe, across Australia. The vast majority of us HCW's are sucking up the shit and looking after our unvaccinated patients, who are >90% of the hospital admitted COVID patients.

The current in- joke in our hospital, is that the easiest job in the hospital is working in our COVID ICU (despite the PPE requirements). The reason is that these patients are all intubated (FYI approx 50% we have paralysed to manage their ventilation). They are stable and heading in one of 2 directions...death or survival, they are on the edge of their existence on this planet - from a clinical perspective very easy to manage. They respond to treatment or they don't...fact.

The problem for the health system is that those COVID patients on the Wards (remember this is not ICU) require a disproportionate amount of support with our very finite resources. In my health service as of last night, we have 3 Wards full of COVID patients only and a separate ICU for COVID patients. So that works out to be a loss of 90 Ward beds and 10 ICU beds, just for unvaccinated COVID patients. We are about to close 2 other Wards to regular admissions and open them only for COVID patients.

100s not 1000s you say guine? Either way it’s a lot of health care staff to lose in a pandemic so severe that the wheels are falling off. Surely, based on the COVID horror story you continue to pedal a single loss of a staffer is a big deal?

This is the bit I know where morons like roadkill try to spray anyone for raising a simple point but what ever way you look at it , It makes no sense to force something ppl do t want to the point your front line workers are walking off the job.

Further, what about the $1M lotto offered to a lucky jab recipient plus all the free donuts and beverages handed out. Imagine the additional resources this could have supported in our health system.

And BTW san guine, you appear to be really active on here but II haven’t seen any commentary from u as the resident insider on AHPRA and their roll in managing the narrative or whether your hospital receives any additional revenue from COVID cases in any form? Any dirt or above your pay grade?

CDC do their best to counter the latest Qldurrz CHO Goth Vax Promo.
Titled! "We're all gonna die, aren't we!"

"CDC definition of Vaccine is waning faster than last season's booster Jab."

Feb 2011 - "Product that produces immunity therefore protecting the body from disease!"

July 2015 - "A product that stimulates a person's immune system to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease!"

Aug 2021 - "A product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease!"

Sept 2021 - "A preparation that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against diseases!"

*Vax is no longer a thing but merely a twinkle in a Lab Rats ear part eye.
*Vax no longer directly stimulates against anything specific at all really...we promise you that?
*Vax fails to produce immunity against this or that or anything else that may or may not be bugging you!
*Vax no longer protects you, me or the neighbour's cat against the Boogie man.
https://vervetimes.com/cdc-changes-the-definition-of-vaccines/

Congrats Vax! Today is the Vaxtice Anniversary of world's largest ever real time Vax Trial.
tbb never hesitated to celebrate monumental Vax!
30th Jan 2020 WHO calls Pandemic
8th Dec 2020 (312 days on...World Vax Rollout begins) 68,850,317 cases > 1,651,309 deaths
17th Oct 2021 (312 days on...World Covid) 241,152,176 cases up 250% > 4,909,670 deaths up 197%
36% World Vax has stimulated > 172, 301,859 extra cases > 3,258,361 extra deaths

World Rollout Highlights!
Jan 2021 Sluggish rise & Fastest/Sharpest Drop in Covid cases / deaths with min Vax at less than 1%
April 2021 Fastest highest Rising Covid Peak with Vax on Tap.
June 2021 World Vax Peak
Aug -Oct 2021 World Vax takes a Dive > Covid cases & Deaths are waning without Vax stimulation.
US have binned 15m doses & Death rates are headin' towards pre vax lows. (Less Vax = Less Covid)
https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations?country=~OWID_WRL
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Mass Vax #1 Data shows Vax down for the count ... now at the crossroads!
It seems the World has shot itself in the foot.
Longest spell of declining Vax = longest spell of declining Covid Cases & deaths...(That's good right?)
Vax & it's dodgy score cards has been booted & laughed off the World stage.
Don't write off Vax...it has mandated a ferocious Bully Squad > "One Of Us One Of Us One Of Us!"

Next Level [Vaccine Passes] can easily flood the World with deadly covid
Currently UK Fully Vaccinated present as 60% of all infected cases get rewarded spreader Passes.
NSW [+] Full vaxed rise 1.5% wk to 600 > Vic [+] Full Vaxed rise 3.5% wk to 1,500
Oz #1 fastest Covid spreaders are also obviously rewarded [ VIP Vax spreading Passes ]
Unvaxed will of course be mandated to isolate their ongoing 10% Covid reduction powers.

[AZ Pass ] 6 months efficacy wanes to 50% no vax levels within 3 months
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/09/studies-show-good-co...

Vaxed crew might return from o/s within sciency Vax efficacy time frame or Govts may lock you out!
Many travellers have had 6 month Passes max out automatically at 5 months...WTF.

@malben , the last part of the article , “He shared his Covid-19 therapy for free with other Australian general practitioners who requested it. It was not illegal then, and it is not illegal now, for my client to have shared his protocol with Australian general practitioners who wanted it.” He also shared it for free with india and the trials that were done in bangladesh , he treated some high profile doctors in the US who went onto come up with their own protocols . Australia had the opportunity at the very beginning to try the TGA approved drugs he was suggesting . When it comes to articles on ivermectin from the guardian , I tend to take them with a grain of salt as they have reported misinformation twice now only to retract it days later . If Borody now stands to make money for his efforts, good on him . He copped a lot of criticism from the media and AMA from the beginning when the protocol was to do nothing, go home and see how sick you get . D o you seriously believe his motive from the beginning was to make money from this ? Doesn’t seem to be short of a buck and has 4 FDA approved drugs on patent. Maybe have a look at the early reports from August 2020 on this . I’m really curious as to why all the attention to discredit ivermectin is so fierce from media and pig pharma , surely if it didn’t work then countries that were using it in combination therapy would have found out by now. Have a look at how many prescriptions have been written in the US . I can see the media have done more damage in the US in the way they have approached this , people don’t trust the media because of past BS and then to continue it with claims of horse paste poisoning was out of control. This was also proven to be BS . People may think , if they BS about this , what else are they BS about ? The media is causing vaccination hesitating in the US by continuing to print fake news . Maybe have a look at the power over hospitals , doctors and health agencies that are influenced by pig pharma. Please don’t start with conspiracy theories , its just plain old greed and corruption that has existed in governments and their agencies for decades . But yeah lets have a go at a Australian Doctor as the real villain here .

If Borody’s connection is on public record as the guardian article states what exactly is the big deal .

supafreak, the more relevant question, since we went through all this last week is; what is more important to you, the evidence or the politics. There is no evidence to support Borody's claims, so to suggest that it is effective is just an unsubstantiated claim that could be made for anything. Sad to see that you keep pushing the same discredited line.
