'fear'

whatever dude...

some of us just dont like your all in '...science has all the answers...' attitude, that seems to be editing out a heap of 'truth' to maintain its position...

not least the possbility of a lab leak

your position is so full of bullshit, bias, and contradictions itis just bizarre

and just oh so typical of a certain cohort of society...

Yes fear Sypkan.

You're thoughts about how the world works, how there's so much negativity happening at the core of groups and institutions who play major parts in how our world and societies function - is fear.

I don't deny there could've been a lab leak, yet I don't jump straight to sinister motives as the likely reasoning for it. You seem to think it's part of a grand plan.

You're also opting to not take a small medical procedure, in lieu of actually taking the small risk of contracting a virus. Seemingly because you fear the procedure is more risky, or again part of some grand plan, compared to the virus, which you keep telling yourself is mild.

That's fear alright.

Also science is a path to discovery, and it certainly doesn't have all the answers.

What we know now may be wrong in 100 years.

You may be right, but it'll be dumb luck if you are.

Your immune system is also science Stok. Just not to money making kind of science you seem to get hard over because big boy Dan got up on stage and told you so.
Your stance changes the same time the “Victorian science” does.

the cult...

"American liberals are obsessed with finding ways to silence and censor their adversaries. Every week, if not every day, they have new targets they want de-platformed, banned, silenced, and otherwise prevented from speaking or being heard (by "liberals,” I mean the term of self-description used by the dominant wing of the Democratic Party)...."

"...When liberals’ favorite media outlets, from CNN and NBC to The New York Times and The Atlantic, spend four years disseminating one fabricated Russia story after the next — from the Kremlin hacking into Vermont's heating system and Putin's sexual blackmail over Trump to bounties on the heads of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, the Biden email archive being "Russian disinformation,” and a magical mystery weapon that injures American brains with cricket noises — none of that is "disinformation” that requires banishment. Nor are false claims that COVID's origin has proven to be zoonotic rather than a lab leak, the vastly overstated claim that vaccines prevent transmission of COVID, or that Julian Assange stole classified documents and caused people to die. Corporate outlets beloved by liberals are free to spout serious falsehoods without being deemed guilty of disinformation, and, because of that, do so routinely.

This "disinformation" term is reserved for those who question liberal pieties, not for those devoted to affirming them. That is the real functional definition of “disinformation” and of its little cousin, “misinformation.” It is not possible to disagree with liberals or see the world differently than they see it. The only two choices are unthinking submission to their dogma or acting as an agent of "disinformation.” Dissent does not exist to them; any deviation from their worldview is inherently dangerous — to the point that it cannot be heard..."

"...The one bright spot in all this — and it is a significant one — is that liberals have become such extremists in their quest to silence all adversaries that they are generating their own backlash, based in disgust for their tyrannical fanaticism. In response to the Post attack, Substack issued a gloriously defiant statement re-affirming its commitment to guaranteeing free discourse. They also repudiated the hubristic belief that they are competent to act as arbiters of Truth and Falsity, Good and Bad. “Society has a trust problem. More censorship will only make it worse,” read the headline on the post from Substack's founders. The body of their post reads like a free speech manifesto:..."

"...The U.K.'s Royal Society, its national academy of scientists, this month echoed Substack's view that censorship, beyond its moral dimensions and political dangers, is ineffective and breeds even more distrust in pronouncements by authorities. “Governments and social media platforms should not rely on content removal for combatting harmful scientific misinformation online." "There is,” they concluded, "little evidence that calls for major platforms to remove offending content will limit scientific misinformation’s harms” and "such measures could even drive it to harder-to-address corners of the internet and exacerbate feelings of distrust in authorities.”

As both Rogan's success and collapsing faith and interest in traditional corporate media outlets proves, there is a growing hunger for discourse that is liberated from the tight controls of liberal media corporations and their petulant, herd-like employees..."

"...In sum, censorship — once the province of the American Right during the heydey of the Moral Majority of the 1980s — now occurs in isolated instances in that faction. In modern-day American liberalism, however, censorship is a virtual religion. They simply cannot abide the idea that anyone who thinks differently or sees the world differently than they should be heard. That is why there is much more at stake in this campaign to have Rogan removed from Spotify than whether this extremely popular podcast host will continue to be heard there or on another platform. If liberals succeed in pressuring Spotify to abandon their most valuable commodity, it will mean nobody is safe from their petty-tyrant tactics. But if they fail, it can embolden other platforms to similarly defy these bullying tactics, keeping our discourse a bit more free for just awhile longer."

The weird thing about censorship, is it used to be the religious conservatives that were always wanting to censor everything and were offended by everything, and liberals (in the traditional meaning of the word) were against censorship, but now they are the main driver of censorship and offended by anything and everything.

"The court asked for information on which virus variants were associated with these numbers, a breakdown by age cohort, and for “percentage allocation” outlining where infections occurred, such as family, work, shopping or leisure activities.

Another question asked, “By what factor does wearing an FFP2 mask indoors or outdoors reduce the risk of infection or transmission?”

A number of other questions related to vaccines, with the court requesting data on their efficacy in reducing severe illness, preventing transmission, and the durability of protection.

“By what factor does Covid vaccination reduce the risk of severe disease?” the court wrote.

“In media reports, there was talk of up to 95 per cent. Now, the general risk of dying from Covid-19 (not differentiated by age and health status) currently appears to be 0.1516 per cent.

“What does a stated vaccination efficacy of, for example, 95 per cent refer to? What do absolute and relative risk reduction mean in this context?”

The letter also requested the Covid-related hospitalisation risk over a one-year period for an unvaccinated 25-year-old compared with a double-vaccinated 25-year-old, and the same for a 65-year-old."

"But in order to justify his government’s heavy-handed rules, the court has asked Health Minister Wolfgang Mückstein to provide data across a broad range of topics including hospitalisations and deaths “with” as opposed to “from” Covid-19, the efficacy of masks and vaccines, and evidence supporting the now-rescinded “lockdown for the unvaccinated”.

“The ‘lockdown for the unvaccinated’ is likely to be based, among other things, on the consideration that persons with Covid vaccination have a higher risk of hospitalisation than vaccinated persons, which is likely to entail a higher risk for the healthcare system,” the court wrote.

“What is the effect of the ‘lockdown for the unvaccinated on the hospital burden, expressed in percentages?”

"Two days after the letter was sent, Austria lifted the measure."

Could that be because now religious conservatives are faced with a world they despise? The progressions we've made in the last few decades around equality, recognition etc for example, have been pretty much directly against their preferences.

Conservatives are tired of not being listened to again so they're lashing out, and using a myriad of attention capturing techniques to break apart the mainstream narratives. One of which could easily be covid vaccines.

Hmmmm wonder if this is a conspiracy theory? If not, I could patent it if I was a more savvy grifter.

Hmmmm wonder if this is a conspiracy theory? If not, I could patent it if I was a more savvy grifter.

Firstly im talking religious conservatives, there is many different types of conservatives.

No i think even religious conservatives in the most part have adapted and evolved just at a slower rate, so most have caught up to a decent level of acceptance on most issues, for instance even in church settings you generally have women doing leading roles, we even have gay ministers etc

Christianity gets targeted a lot but its actually undertaken a lot of reform especially compared to other religions like Islam.

There is only the odd issue left where there is still a clear divide like say abortion issue, but many non religious people and non conservatives also dont support abortions or just have mixed feelings on the issue.

And the more radical religious conservatives are probably still whinging in the background but on most issues are a tiny minority and generally just ignore these days.

While on the flip side liberals (again in the traditional meaning of the word)or so called progressives, have pushed past the level of sanity and balance because in their mind they always need to be progressing and moving forward, they dont know when the goal is achieved, the race may be over and there they are still running into the hills.

Which then sends them into this crazy woke realm and censorship and cancel culture.

You can see examples of it in pretty much every topic for example something like racism, these days you would be hard pressed to find a true racist, now the biggest problem we have with issues of race comes from the extreme woke who cause all types of division between people of different colours and have crazy and very dangerous and divisive things like critical race theory.

BTW. Although its true that there is a conservative element to the anti vax, anti mandate, anti lockdown crowd, or more conservative media have latched onto it, as we have talked about many many times its in no way limited to conservatives, generally its people with no real political leanings and also includes many on the left especially the new age crowd as we see in the Byron area where in Australia the movement is the strongest.

And many of the most passionate on the topic here are left leaning like Blowin and Blue Diamond for instance, while people like myself a conservative are fully vaxed and have quite moderate views on the topic.(see below)

Lockdowns=Understood they were needed in early days, but went a bit far in the end and should never happen again.
Face mask= Happy to wear one to shops etc, but not outdoors.
Vax=Think people should get vaccinated especially high risk groups, but also think it should be a choice and people not demonised for their choice.
Child vax- Seem pointless considering they are such a low risk group and vax clearly doesnt prevent transmission to ay real degree.
Mandates= Seem pointless and divisive seeing vax doesnt prevent transmission to any real degree

The deadshit opportunists will be the ones with all the questions.....Pauline Hanson would definitely come with a long fucking list, for example, asking representatives from our scientific institutions:

"Can you please explain to moi, the difference between absolute and relative risk reduction? And why did you use this information to promise us the vaccines will end the pandemic"?

Still waiting for your proof on hospitalisations for 5-12 years olds with covid around the world you said?

As the narrative crumbles, don't let them deny the facts.

"It was never claimed to stop transmission"

Oh yeah ?

Every single Premier and CHO in Australia told lies to the Australian public every day. They still are.

If they lied about it stopping transmission (delta included) what else are they lying about?

That was a good article aaron61 . I have read some previous tablet articles but couldn’t remember which way they leaned . A quick check found this and their credibility was also rated high . https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/tablet-magazine/

Norman Swan just repeated what he said on this morning’s ABC “ if you have had omicron you are well protected if you become infected again “. Meanwhile there is hesitancy in boosters uptake in NSW and Victoria , maybe Swan will be charged with inciting hesitancy for simply ‘ following the science ‘

I wonder if any of the anti vax crew, who love posting ZDoggMD, when it suits their bias, would be posting this. I imagine not, thus I will.
Omicron is not, just a mild thing.

Dr. Rachel Zoffness recently contracted Omicron. She takes issue with the label "mild" and here's why.

Next you’ll be trying to convince us the common cold isn’t mild.
I’m sure it kills lots of half dead people too

Yes nature is amazing.

One could say we were destined in our nature to develop the cognitive ability to industrialise, which in turn created new diseases and allowed them to spread quicker. Luckily, due to our natural, ever developing intelligence, we create effective ways to train our immune systems further to significantly reduce death and suffering.

So, whilst the human race is evolving on it's own natural path, there's the Burleighs and now the Sypkans among us who've let their irrational, imaginary fears get the better of them, now they want to regress to the days of needless death and suffering (i.e. before tetanus vaccines).

Luckily, due to our natural, ever developing intelligence, bahahaha, what happened to you then,

TGA report 696188 - 18th January
5 year old girl suffers stroke after covid vaccine

Now just imagine this was your 5 year old daughter. Vaccinated for a disease with a survival rate of 99.99% to protect the already dying.
Now she is scarred for the rest of her life all because of bed wetter like Stok, roadkill and Co.

It’s a mental disease to believe you need to vaccine kids for a disease that only kills the dying.

It's news.com, so always weary of anything they report, however, it's obviously a legitimate story. Just wondering why, there is no record anywhere else on the internet of this happening. I've tried different kinds of words in the google search box, but it's only this one article that comes up. Can anyone else find something on it? Surely, this is huge news developing??? In the grandscheme of this whole Covid narrative, shouldn't this be taking front and centre of the news items world wide, no matter which side of the debate you sit? I'm baffled there's no other reports of this anywhere.

...yeh, because only right wing nut jobs like pauline hanson believe politicians, scientists and corporations should be accountable for the unprecedented public money and power they have wielded for the last two years...

only right wing nut jobs would seek some truth and accountability from such established powers and the corporate structure...

thanks stok, for proving everyday that 'progressives' are the new conservative...

embracing all that that entails...

your on fire sypkan, this clown and his ilk are loosing the battle, they will never accept that maybe the road they went down is a dead end street

i doubt you will get a response to any direct question you asked

last week i posted a statement about a conversation i had with my doctor about trying understand how we know what variants we contract, as i asked my doctor, stok, ridiculed my statement, the answer i was given by my doctor, and never once tried to engage in debate or put up a response as to why or how they know what variants are out they, the class muppet is loosing and cant accept it
