Conspiracy? It is now August and the Epsilon variant isn’t around here in New South Wales or we haven’t been told yet! Time will tell!
Australia
‘I realized something this morning:
I am sick to death of Covid.
Not from Covid.
Of Covid.
You probably are too.
Let’s be honest. Totally honest. If the media hadn’t been in a frenzy the last 18 months, would those of us who aren’t frontline medical workers have any idea Covid even exited? Not one of our fears of February 2020 have come to pass. No mass burials, no food shortages, no one dying in the streets. Hospitals have been open and able to treat everyone who arrives at their doors, with Covid or without.
Do you know one person who died? Or became seriously ill? Have you even HEARD second- or third-hand of a person who was not over 75 or already seriously ill or morbidly obese who died?
I’m just going to say it: 600,000 deaths has never looked more like zero. If you’d never heard of Covid, maybe you would have been surprised last year to hear that your grandma with Alzheimer’s – no mind left, but healthy – had suddenly died of pneumonia from an outbreak in her nursing home. Maybe that 400-pound guy down the street would have dropped from what you thought was the flu instead of the heart attack you expected.
Covid barely exists for most of us.
Still the media and public health authorities won’t leave us alone. Every day they have something else: Long Covid, the variants, the back-and-forth over masks, and now the vaccines and the vaccine mandates. EVEN IF THE VACCINES WERE HARMLESS TO EVERYONE – and they are demonstrably not harmless – under the circumstances forcing anyone to take them would be wrong.
But they can’t help themselves.
Not about the vaccines, and not about anything else. This morning, the “chief health officer” of an Australian province told her subjects – I mean the free citizens of a democratic country – that they shouldn’t talk to each other because someone in the province had died of Covid. “Now is the time for minimizing your interaction with others,” she said.
What?
The only imaginable response to Dr. Kerry Chant is: Who do you think you are?
Since the beginning, Covid has been both a political godsend to the left and a big business. But I’ve assumed that sooner or later the public health mandarins and their water-carriers in the media would have to admit the truth. Yet they won’t.
I don’t know if they are still truly scared – how can they still truly be scared? – or if they just don’t want to admit the absurdity of the last 18 months or if they are just in love with the power we have given them.
Now they want to force you – and your kids – to take a vaccine. With a new biotechnology that appears less effective and more risky by the day. For a disease that is the flu-plus for most of us, and not even the flu for the young.
More than 230 years ago, France became the first European country to stand against tyranny and for freedom. Now the French are in the streets again, protesting for the right to make medical choices for themselves – a right I’d never imagined was in doubt, not in the West in 2021.
Let’s hope the French government – along with the rest of the countries that still call themselves democratic and free – hears and heeds this anger.
Or I fear the next 18 months will make the last 18 look like a picnic.’https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/it-isnt-over-until-they-say-its-over
I am assuming this is true and that ‘With no public consultation, the NSW minister for digital information, Victor Dominello has announced the introduction of Vaccine Passports. For the first time ever, adults will have to reveal their private health information to strangers just to go shopping for food and live a normal life (cafes, restaurants, cinema, sporting events, travelling around, children going to school). People without a Vaccine Passport will also lose their jobs in many workplaces. The privacy and freedom implications of this are huge. There are constantly privacy breaches in the data base Minister Dominello runs at Service NSW. Now he wants to police society’s movements and access to basic services and employment through the Service NSW App. This goes well beyond QR codes, right to your private health information. This is to force everyone to be Covid vaccinated, even though many people:* are waiting for clearer evidence about the safety of these vaccines, especially given that AstraZeneca has led to 6 Australians dying, with a further 90 blood clot episodes and over 28,000 reports of adverse reactions (official Commonwealth TGA data);* do not want the vaccines pushed upon their children;* have conscientious objections to vaccines on religious and other grounds; and* do not support the government holding and controlling so much private information about our lives. The NSW Government plan is something you would expect in China or North Korea, not Australia. Just yesterday Premier Berejiklian said the Vaccine Passport was not on their agenda at the moment. The Government cannot even be honest about its intentions. It has not even consulted its own MPs about this dictatorial announcement. NSW One Nation is opposed to Vaccine Passports. We believe the best approach is to offer the elderly and vulnerable the vaccines they want and allow anyone not wanting vaccines to deal with that risk as responsible adults. No one should be punished for their vaccine choices. The vaccine choices of all Australians – whether for or against – should be respected. We must run our own lives rather than being under the control of Big Brother Government .In Europe there are massive public protests and riots against Vaccine Passports, especially in France. They are very divisive. Whereas Sweden (which had no lockdowns) will have no Vaccine Passports, living freely. As Australia should. Scott Morrison has said that Australia is aiming at 70-80% vaccination to achieve herd immunity so that COVID no longer circulates in the community. Why then are controlling Vaccine Passports needed? Why has NSW announced them so early? This is just another government grab for power and control over our lives. It’s wrong and unnecessary. One Nation will fight it all the way.

I am sure Australia will go this way as the rest of the globalists push this vaccine passport agenda.
‘It comes as Denmark announced this week it is working with business to develop a vaccination passport that will be ready to use for travel in three or four months.
As a first step, Danish citizens will be able to see their vaccination status on a health website by the end of the month
Eventually people will have a passport on their mobile phones
The UN’s Global Tourism Crisis Committee which met at the end of January in Madrid also backed vaccination certificates as a way of boosting confidence in the sector.
“Vaccines must be part of a wider, coordinated approach that includes certificates and passes for safe cross-border travel,” UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Secretary-General Pololikashvili said.’https://www.governmentnews.com.au/nsw-explores-vaccination-passports/
‘NSW PARLIAMENT HAS LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY It’s bad enough that Labor and Liberal have combined to close down the August sittings of the NSW Parliament. Democracy has been replaced by an indefinite ‘Greater Sydney’ lockdown, extending from the Central Coast to the Illawarra. People have lost their jobs, businesses have closed, families are struggling with home schooling and society itself is fracturing. The NSW Government has even told people not to talk to their neighbours and friends on the street. What has been the response of the people running NSW Parliament during this crisis? The Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Jonathan O’Dea, has a huge budget to run the building in Macquarie Street. You would reasonably think his first priority would be helping people keep their jobs and helping businesses to stay open. But No. He has engaged in a wacky, wasteful and self-indulgent spending spree, thinking up new ways of washing taxpayers funds down the drain. I’m talking many millions of dollars, spent on:1. $400,000 minimum for a ‘review of workplace culture’ by the notorious Left-feminist Elizabeth Broderick. It’s a ‘monkey see, money do’ approach following the media hysteria about Canberra’s Parliament House. I can tell you, these are very different parliaments and this Broderick review is being conducted just for the sake of it, not because of an identified problem. Broderick will do what she always does with these reviews: find ’sexism’, ‘gender inequality’ and ‘misogyny’. It’s an expensive, pre-determined process without any grounding in reality.2. Huge expenditure on the Speaker’s courtyard renovation, which was a beautiful space to start with and did not need any changes. The cost is off the radar.3. Millions spent on bollards in front of the building on Macquarie Street, with the work dragging on for a year. The bollards are supposed to protect school students entering the building. But at no cost, school buses could have parked at the rear entrance to the building on Hospital Road, with students coming in that way with 100% safety. An amazing waste of money.4. A renovation of the Strangers Dining Room that has gone on forever, and no MP can understand why it was needed or what it’s trying to achieve. The building is a permanent construction zone, as O’Dea and his advisors constantly look for ways of spending their budget just for the sake of it. Come 30 June every year, they have cleaned out the coffers on newly invented projects.5. Employment of a special Indigenous Liaison Officer, even though there are 135 NSW MPs who liaise with Aboriginal communities on a regular basis – that’s their job, There is no sign yet of the new employee venturing west of the Great Dividing Range to help the really disadvantaged communities living in squalor. It’s another virtue signaling O’Dea joke.6. The Speaker employing a press secretary, even though his presence in the media is next to zero. Most people would not even know his name. The press secretary has just launched a book with Adam Goodes, of course.7. A constant flow of woke, virtue signaling nonsense sent out to MPs. Recently we were told to celebrate NAIDOC week by baking Indigenous cookies. No thanks, I’m too busy working on my real job concerning jobs, services and the education system.8. The never-ending replacement of ceilings around the building, for reasons no one can understand. The building is only 35 years old but looking at the wasteful renovations, you would think it was built in 1788 (or 1693 according to Bruce Pascoe).9. A $100,000 marble bust of Virginia Chadwick (never heard of her – don’t worry, most haven’t) to be placed in the Legislative Council chamber.10. Special ‘Koori Cooks’ in the Parliament House kitchen, serving up slices of kangaroo covered in native flowers. No thanks. This stuff is so bad it didn’t even make it into my cookbook with Alan Jones! 11. Rainbow flags around the building and constant reminders of the Alphabet People. Why? Because they can. But aren’t minorities supposed to have rights too? I’m only a straight white male from the outer suburbs, so a tiny minority among the LGBTIAPWTF cult in NSW politics. So I need a Safe Space with Trigger Warnings as much as anyone. Who’s protecting me from Micro-Aggressions and Unconscious Bias? Where’s my flag, the Australian flag, festooned inside the building?12. At huge cost, a new frosted door is being built into one of the foyer walls as an extra entrance to the parliamentary bar. There are already two entrances to this relatively small area, making this the ultimate indulgence project. Its sole purpose is to eat up the allocated parliamentary budget. The door will be frosted in a wacky plan to protect the privacy of MPs. How out of touch can an institution be? Bismarck once said, “Laws are like sausages, it’s better not to watch them being made”. If NSW taxpayers could see the waste and extravagance of the NSW Parliament building during this time of crisis, they would be totally disgusted.

‘In the fall of 2008, I visited Auschwitz.
I was in Poland to talk about my novels, and I’m Jewish, and it seemed wrong not to go to the site, to try to understand what is impossible to understand.
I remember two things most clearly. The first is how big the camp was. There’s essentially nothing left of it, of course. But the open field where the bunks and gas chambers and everything else had stood seemed enormous. But then it had to be. The Nazis killed over a million people there, nearly all Jews. They killed with precision and method. They needed machinery, and machinery needs space.
But the Poles around the site must have known. As the Jews came in but did not leave. As the ghettos and villages emptied out month by month. They must have known. The Germans too. Such a large place, so many people involved. Even if the Nazis had wanted to keep the secret – and they didn’t, not really, they didn’t care – sooner or later everyone in Germany and Poland must have known. Many knew without knowing, perhaps, without letting themselves know, but they all knew.
And I thought, looking at that vast field, Who thought this was a good idea?
My second thought was simpler. It came at the visitor center. Before the killing really got rolling, the Germans photographed new arrivals to the camp. Corridors of the visitor center were lined with those pictures. A couple in particular stood out. They weren’t of Jews. They were of French commandos whom the Nazis had captured in, I believe, late 1941. Yes, the Germans occasionally sent prisoners of war to Auschwitz – more proof they weren’t exactly trying to hide their Jew-killing.
These men weren’t downtrodden shtetl dwellers. They were tough. They looked at the camera without fear.
They died in months.
The great misunderstanding about Auschwitz is that surviving the selection didn’t mean the Nazis had chosen you to live. It meant they believed that instead of being gassed to death you were strong enough to be worked and starved to death. You had stored calories in your body that would be of use.
Auschwitz is called a concentration camp, but even that term is a euphemism. The only thing it concentrated was death.
But the Nazis didn’t want to tell the people they’d chosen to be worked to death the truth. So they put up a motto at the camp gates: arbeit macht frei. Work makes free.
Work didn’t make free. Nothing made free.
The motto was on my mind Friday morning when I saw this story.
A “path to freedom” that involves calling up the army. Of course. Makes total sense.
We have been told so many lies over the last 18 months, but none bigger than this:
The vaccines are our only hope to return to normal life. Vaccines will make us free.
The sentence is actually two lies in one. We can go back to normal whenever we choose, the coronavirus has a death rate far closer to the flu than smallpox or most other pathogens we have feared so much in the past.
Worse, it is now clear to ANYONE who watches that the coronavirus vaccines will not get us there. Not only will they not end the epidemic, their peak protection lasts a few weeks in the people who need them most. In the countries that vaccinated first, the Britain and Israel, deaths and hospitalizations have risen sharply this month, and most of the serious cases are in the vaccinated.
This doesn’t mean we have to panic. It means we have to acknowledge the truth – that we must live with the coronavirus rather than trying to remake society for it, much less force these flawed vaccines on everyone.
And so I tweeted “impfung macht frei” on Friday morning: Vaccines make free. The reference is not to the vaccines as agents of mass death – they are not. The reference is to the lie that vaccines would set you free, if only you would shut up and line up when it was “your turn.” (Remember that bit of focus-grouped nonsense?)
Now the people who have been mad at me for 18 months for pointing out their lies are mad about this too. To point out the lies is to disrespect the Holocaust, they say.
I doubt they believe a word they’re saying at this point. Their anger is purely performative. Holocaust comparisons far more explicit than that one have been thick on the ground the last four years, and no one has batted an eye:
They are yelling at me now for one reason: to distract you from the truth that they were as wrong about the vaccines as about everything else. Worse, to hide that fact, they are going to try to force you and your family to take them.
Don’t let them distract you. They know the truth.
And one day soon they’ll have to admit it.’https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/on-vaccines-lies-and-auschwitz?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0MjUyOTI1MiwicG9zdF9pZCI6Mzk0NTk4NTIsIl8iOiIwaUJZNiIsImlhdCI6MTYyNzg2MTEyMCwiZXhwIjoxNjI3ODY0NzIwLCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMzYzMDgwIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.A6eFDPRCe4ETIZJXhM6_HPux95kTyqyg_GlMCIJQQXo

‘In 2007, America had one pediatric gender clinic; today there are hundreds. Testosterone is readily available to adolescents from places like Planned Parenthood and Kaiser, often on a first visit—without even a therapist’s note.
How did we get to this point? How is it that we are all supposed to pretend that the only way you can know I’m a woman is if I tell you my pronouns? How did we get to an America in which a 13-year-old in the State of Washington can begin “gender affirming” therapy without her parents’ consent? How did we get to an America in which a 15-year-old in Oregon can undergo “top surgery”—elective double mastectomy—without her parents’ permission? And what can we do about it?
To understand how we got to this point, it is useful to begin by considering gender dysphoria—the feeling of severe discomfort in a person’s biological sex. Gender dysphoria is certainly real. It is also exceedingly rare. It afflicts about 0.01 percent of the population, most of whom are male.
For nearly 100 years of diagnostic history, gender dysphoria typically began in early childhood, between the ages of two and four, and usually involved a boy who insisted that he was not a boy but a girl. Children afflicted are insistent, consistent, and persistent in the feeling that they are in the wrong body. It is by all accounts excruciating—I’ve talked to many transgender adults, most of them biological males, who describe the relentless chafe of a body that feels all wrong.
Historically, this has been the classic presentation of gender dysphoria. When these children were left alone—when no one intervened medically or encouraged what we today call “social transition”—over 70 percent of them naturally outgrew their gender dysphoria. Most of those who outgrew it became gay men. Those who did not outgrow it became what used to be known as transsexuals. They did not believe they were women, but they felt most comfortable presenting themselves as females.
Today, however, we don’t leave these children alone. Instead, the moment children seem not to be perfectly feminine or perfectly masculine, we label them as “trans kids.” Teachers encourage them to reintroduce themselves to their classes with new names and new pronouns. We take them to therapists or doctors, nearly all of whom practice so-called affirmative care—meaning they think it is their job to affirm the diagnosis of gender dysphoria and help the children medically transition.
The typical first step in treatment administered to these kids is puberty blockers, which shut down the part of the pituitary gland that directs the release of hormones catalyzing puberty. The most common of these drugs is Lupron, whose original purpose was the chemical castration of sex offenders. To this day, the FDA has never approved this drug for halting healthy puberty.
One has to wonder why a parent or a doctor would take measures to stop a child’s puberty, given that even a child with genuine gender dysphoria would most likely outgrow that condition if left alone. Some argue that it is traumatizing to let children go through the puberty of the sex to which they do not wish to belong. But in many cases, puberty seems to have helped children overcome gender dysphoria. The truth is that there is no satisfying answer, given that scientists have no way of predicting which children will outgrow the dysphoria on their own and which won’t.
Proponents of “affirmative care” also argue that allowing puberty to occur is dangerous, because suicide rates for trans-identified youth and trans adults are very high. Therefore, they say, we need to start treating children with gender dysphoria as soon and as dramatically as possible.
Yet there are no good long-term studies indicating that puberty blockers cure suicidality or even improve mental health. Nor are there studies that show puberty blockers are safe or reversible when used in this manner.
What we do know is that puberty blockers prevent the development of secondary sex characteristics, sexual maturation, and bone density. Indeed, because of the inhibition of bone density and other risks, doctors don’t like to keep children on puberty blockers for more than two years.
We also know that in almost every case when a child’s healthy puberty is medically arrested, placing the child out of step with his or her peers, that child proceeds to cross-sex hormones. And when puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are administered to a girl, she becomes infertile. She may also have permanent sexual dysfunction given that her sex organs never reach adult maturity.
Given this, the claims made by so many doctors and gender activists today that these medical transition measures for children are safe and reversible—that they are a “pause button,” without serious downsides—are not only dishonest, but destructive. We would not accept this sort of glib salesmanship in any other area of medicine.’ The entire article may be read at https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/gender-ideology-run-amok/?utm_campaign=imprimis&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=145088617&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-82LxjuQXabEfThs88_P4in1JgaJKTK7mGlLyfuzWBVDVMjbRtFsK1rj0V1FiJBxOdb8mEvh3cARry8p3AAR49b0XQ8Jw&utm_content=145088617&utm_source=hs_email
