Democracy the Canada way!
We received this in an email the other day from https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/ and it outlines the freedoms an unvaxxed person has and the freedoms a vaxxed person has! This is what it is like in a democracy!?
‘When NSW reaches the 70% full vaccination target, the rules about what you can and can’t do will change.
While this means some easing of restrictions for people who are fully vaccinated or have a medical exemption, stay at home rules will either continue or reapply for people who are unvaccinated in rural and regional NSW.
Why the rules are changing
As NSW starts to reopen, to keep us all safe you’ll need to be vaccinated.
COVID-19 vaccines reduce your chance of being infected with COVID-19 by around 80% and significantly reduces the overall spread of COVID-19 to others.
To reopen NSW safely, a large proportion of the population needs to be vaccinated. This will help stop the spread and also protect vulnerable members of our community who are unable to be vaccinated.
For this reason, at the 70% full vaccination target, easing of restrictions will only apply to people who have received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine or have a medical exemption.
Increased vaccine supply
Three COVID-19 vaccines are now available in regional and rural NSW. Moderna (Spikevax), Pfizer (Comirnaty) and AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria) have all been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia:
- The Moderna vaccine is available for people aged 12-59 and is available in pharmacies.
- The Pfizer vaccine is available for people aged 12-59 and is available in pharmacies, GPs, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services and NSW Health vaccination clinics.
- The AstraZeneca vaccine is available for people aged 18+ and is available in pharmacies, GPs, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services and NSW Health vaccination clinics.
If you have any questions about which COVID-19 vaccine you should receive, speak to your GP.
Where you can get vaccinated
Some GPs and pharmacies may accept walk-ins or you can call and make an appointment directly.
Use the vaccine clinic finder to search for a vaccination provider in your local area with the earliest availability and book your appointment.
Alternatively, you can call 1800 020 080 to find out what’s available near you.
If you’re not yet vaccinated, now is the time to protect yourself, your family and your community. Let’s do the right thing and help us all to stay open, free and safe.
Book your appointment today.’
Boy, are there a lot of different names thrown at those who have not received one of the Wuhan virus vaccines yet! They are being called Nazi’s, right wingers, anti-vaxxer’s, murderers and many more. Now, I have not received the vax yet but I do believe the virus exists. My eldest daughter is a nurse on the Covid floor in her hospital and has seen patients die with or of the virus. However, I also believe there is something devilish behind all that our elected officials have done to individuals and businesses. If anyone has acted like a Nazi in handling this Wuhan virus it is the government. Now, our elected masters have produced a ROADMAP TO RECOVERY and here is how it looks for the Australian state of New South Wales.
What a roadmap for a so-called democracy! Note the second line concerning places of worship. As a born-again Bible believing Christian and preacher I find this amusing and anti-Bible. Firstly, the Chief Shepherd “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” and one reason He left us believers here after He ascended into Heaven are to be “witnesses” Acts 1:8. Most of that witnessing for Christ takes place in everyday life but it also takes place in the assembling together of the local churches where the Gospel is openly preached. In fact, this Wuhan virus seems to be the joy of those who know not the Lord as they have been able to stop most if not all local churches from meeting together as they once did before the virus and the draconian government rules were imposed. Our elected officials probably do not know it but God’s Word says in Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. The government in a true free society would never have closed down local churches due to a virus! They may have advised social distancing, masks and hand sanitizer but this state government has deemed themselves above God and are saying ONLY THE FULLY VACCINATED MAY ATTEND WORSHIP SERVICES AFTER OCTOBER 11! Our elected Masters have put themselves above the Creator and His Word!
Secondly, this elected state government will not allow the UNCLEAN non-vaccinated people entry to worship their Lord and Saviour until LATE OCTOBER WHEN 80% HAVE TAKEN THE KOOL AID, I mean the vaccine! It isn’t until the 1st of December that our elected “public servants” allow singing in the worship services! What SCIENCE is behind all this?
Well, what are we to do? One thing we should be doing is to “pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you“. This government is not only treating Christians poorly but all citizens of New South Wales! This so-called ROADMAP TO RECOVERY isn’t promised to last forever either. Lockdowns and draconian rules could be imposed on the citizens whenever the elected officials deem it necessary for our HEALTH AND SAFTEY!
As far as I know there will be elections again in New South Wales so there is hope!
However, the real hope is found in Titus 2:13 where it tells us that we are to be “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ“.
Been busy this Monday morning doing those things I may still do while unvaxxed. The 11th of October is the freedom day for the vaxxed BUT we UNCLEAN ones must wait until 1st of December. After 11 October the things we unvaxxed could do we may not do until 1st of December. Figure that?! Oh, the joy of living in a FREE society!! Anyway, here is an article of how an outsider looking in sees us here in Australia.
‘Aside from the Internet spying, the militarized riot police, and the detention camps, everything is fine Down Under…

PART TWO: Where were we?
Oh yes, 70 percent of Australians were agreeing “sometimes people’s freedoms need to be restricted to keep Australia safe.” Land of the unbrave, home of the unfree.
Someone asked me after the first Australia post what I meant by a democratic police state. Pretty much this. If Neil and Karen are not just not standing up for their rights but begging for kneepads, their leaders are almost duty-bound to provide them. Give the people what they want, especially when what they want is more power for me!
Welcome to the Pandemia in its purest form, no pandemic required.
Scholars have noted that anti-Semitism runs hottest in Arab countries where Jews for all intents and purposes don’t exist. Similarly, the fear of Sars-Cov-2 appears strongest in places that haven’t seen it. (The same trend is clear in the United States, by the way. The nursing home workers who have seen Covid’s real impact more closely than anyone else are the least afraid of it, at least based on their unwillingness to submit to vaccinations.)
In any case, Australia has been happy to be a modern-day hermit kingdom, with its states competing to impose the strictest Covid rules.
Keep in mind, these are internal borders – these states are closing themselves to OTHER Australians. But hey, when the plague with the 99.7% survival rate comes calling, anything goes.
Insane as they were, the restrictions appeared to work. Australia had minor Covid outbreaks in 2020, but lockdowns quelled them. By early 2021, Australians were fetishizing their Covid-free lives, celebrating “doughnut days” – in which the number of reported cases was zero. A CNET article from March was headlined “After coronavirus: Australia offers a strange glimpse of life post-pandemic… life, in at least one country, feels oddly normal.”
For much of 2021, the citizenry’s main complaint was that the government hadn’t moved fast enough to get mRNA vaccines. But with those arriving, the federal and state governments promised a “path to freedom” – as long as 70 or 80 percent of adults consented to be vaccinated. Australia appeared on its way to a bright, shiny Covid-free future.
But Covid plays jokes on all of us (except the original comedians in the People’s Republic of China, somehow… but that’s a story for another day). You’ll never guess what happened this summer, just as Australia ramped up its mass vaccinations. Or will you?
Yep, the country’s biggest outbreak to date. Cases went from 10 a day in June to 40 in early July to almost 2,000 by mid-September. This rise came as a complete shock to everyone (except those wise fools who read my Twitter feed back when I had a Twitter feed). The post-first-dose spike, it’s a thing.
Back most of Australia went into lockdown, and just to prove they have learned nothing in the last 18 months, the doctor-dictators (doctators?) went whole hog, right down to closing playgrounds. (The story below is from Sept. 1.)
They also doubled down on mandatory vaccinations. Just get to 80 percent adults vaccinated, baby! Just like the United Kingdom, and everything will be fine.
But for the first time, Australians are pushing back in significant numbers. Last week, thousands of people repeatedly took to the streets of Melbourne, the capital of the state of Victoria and the second-largest city in Australia (about three-quarters of Victoria’s 6.5 million people live in Greater Melbourne). The immediate catalyst for the protests was a vaccine mandate for all construction workers in Victoria, but broader lockdown fatigue is clearly playing a role.
But the authorities are in no mood to compromise. The government of Victoria deployed black-clad riot police known as the Special Operations Group to fire rubber bullets and beat protestors.
Just how large the protests have been is hard to know, in part because the government has not exactly encouraged media access. Another issue is that much of the Australia media – like its American counterparts – is squarely on Team Apocalypse and insists on pretending that the protestors are all neo-Nazis.
Also, Melbourne residents late last week reported that their Internet service had mysteriously ground to a halt, which made both organizing and reporting protests very difficult. Normally I would write this off as a conspiracy. And I still lean that way. Except it turns out that the Australian government just passed a law giving itself incredible powers to spy on and control the Internet.
Called the “Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify and Disrupt)” bill, the legislation allows the Australian federal police to take over accounts in secret and “modify or delete the data of suspected offenders.” In theory, the police are supposed to use these powers to target serious dark web offenders like child pornographers, but they are not required to do so.
Whether or not the police are now trying to disrupt would-be protestors from organizing online, the new law shows just how aggressively Australia intends to police the Internet going forward. A little freedom is a dangerous thing.
Yet it is not clear at this point that the protestors have momentum. They numbered in the thousands, not the tens of thousands, which in a region of 5 million is not overwhelming. And among the favored chants in Melbourne last week was “Everyday!” – a promise to be back on the streets each morning. Yet even by Friday the protests had fizzled.
This has been a pattern all over the world for the last 18 months. Whether from unfavorable media coverage, difficulty organizing because of Facebook censorship, or fear of Covid, anti-lockdown protests have never grown large enough to force policy changes.
What will change that passivity – in Australia and everywhere else?
Your guess is as good as mine.’https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/good-morning-australia

The generous New South Wales government has your health and safety in mind when they say you must be vaccinated to enjoy a picnic! Yes, that’s today’s freedom in New South Wales, Australia!
‘The NSW government is hoping picnic freedoms for fully vaccinated residents will encourage more people to take up the vaccine after Byron Bay and surrounding areas were plunged back into lockdown.
Stay at home orders were reintroduced for Byron, Tweed and Kempsey LGAs at 5pm yesterday, just two weeks after the areas were freed from lockdown.
The regions have some of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, but there are hopes a slight adjustment in the lockdown rules could change that.
Under the lockdown rules, fully vaccinated residents will be able to gather together in groups of five for outdoor recreation, such as picnics.’https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/australia-covid-news-live-lockdowns-protests-and-case-numbers/news-story/0d4c5e1dd64a544a71f67f80b749959f
‘Data released Sept. 17 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that between Dec. 14, 2020 and Sept. 10, 2021, a total of 701,561 adverse events following COVID vaccines were reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The data included a total of 14,925 reports of deaths — an increase of 419 over the previous week.
There were 91,523 reports of serious injuries, including the reports of deaths, during the same time period — up 3,352 compared with the previous week.
Excluding “foreign reports” filed in VAERS, 559,462 adverse events, including 6,756 deaths and 43,073 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020 and Sept. 10, 2021.
Of the 6,756 U.S. deaths reported as of Sept. 10, 12% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 17% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 31% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.
In the U.S., 378.2 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of Sept. 10. This includes: 216 million doses of Pfizer, 148 million doses of Moderna and 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson (J&J).
The data come directly from reports submitted to VAERS, the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
This week’s U.S. data for 12- to 17-year-olds show:
- 19,827 total adverse events, including 1,169 rated as serious and 19 reported deaths. Two of the 19 deaths were suicides.
The most recent deaths involve one report of two patients [VAERS I.D. 1655100] who died after their second dose of Pfizer, including a 13-year-old female.
Other recent reported deaths include a 15-year-old boy (VAERS I.D. 1498080) who previously had COVID, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in May 2021 and died four days after receiving his second dose of Pfizer’s vaccine on June 18, when he collapsed on the soccer field and went into ventricular tachycardia; and a 13-year-old girl (VAERS I.D. 1505250) who died after suffering a heart condition after receiving her first dose of Pfizer.
- 2,972 reports of anaphylaxis among 12- to 17-year-olds with 99% of cases
attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine. - 488 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation) with 481 cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine.
- 106 reports of blood clotting disorders, with all cases attributed to Pfizer.
This week’s U.S. VAERS data, from Dec. 14, 2020 to Sept. 10, 2021, for all age groups combined, show:
- 20% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.
- 54% of those who died were male, 42% were female and the remaining death reports did not include gender of the deceased.
- The average age of death was 72.9.
- As of Sept. 10, 3,650 pregnant women reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 1076 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.
- Of the 2,783 cases of Bell’s Palsy reported, 50% were attributed to Pfizer vaccinations, 42% to Moderna and 8% to J&J.
- 593 reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome, with 39% of cases attributed to Pfizer, 33% to Moderna and 27% to J&J.
- 149,681 reports of anaphylaxis with 42% of cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine, 51% to Moderna and 7% to J&J.
- 9,260 reports of blood clotting disorders. Of those, 3,968 reports were attributed to Pfizer, 3,376 reports to Moderna and 1,866 reports to J&J.
- 2,452 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis with 1,545 cases attributed to Pfizer, 806 cases to Moderna and 93 cases to J&J’s COVID vaccine.
FDA panel overwhelmingly rejects Pfizer boosters for healthy people 16 to 65 years old
On Sept. 17, a panel of scientific advisors to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted 16 to 2 against recommending a third shot of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine for healthy people 16 and older, but voted unanimously in favor of recommending the booster shot for the immunocompromised and all people 65 or older.
The vote came after a sharp debate in which many of the panel’s independent experts, including infectious disease doctors and statisticians, challenged whether the data justified a broad rollout of extra shots when the vaccines appear to still offer robust protection against severe COVID-19 disease and hospitalization, at least in the U.S.
Officials at the FDA previously had expressed skepticism about the need for Pfizer COVID vaccine booster shots in a 23-page document released Sept. 16, prior to the meeting, on the agency’s website.
The report analyzed data submitted by Pfizer and BioNTech as part of the drugmakers’ request for authorization for their vaccine to be given as a booster shot in people 16 years and older. FDA officials said, based on their analysis of data submitted by Pfizer and BioNTech, they could not yet take a stance on whether to recommend COVID boosters for the general public.
16-year-old Sara Green “wants life back” after developing neurological problems following Pfizer vaccine
Sarah Green was a healthy 16-year-old until she developed neurological problems after receiving her second dose of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine. In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Sarah (VAERS I.D. 1354500) and her mother, Marie Green, said they feel helpless because nobody will acknowledge Sarah’s vaccine injury and “nobody can help them.”
Sarah received her second dose of Pfizer on May 4, and immediately began experiencing headaches. She then developed facial twitches and tremors, lost the ability to write, cannot drive and had to drop two college classes, Green said.
Sarah has seen numerous doctors who refuse to acknowledge the vaccine caused her condition. One doctor said Sarah had functional movement disorder and it was not related to the vaccine — although she said she has seen more cases since COVID vaccines were approved because people “stress themselves out over the vaccine and it’s psychosomatic.”
Green said she and Sarah are not anti-vaxxers, but there are too many people having problems for them not to know there’s a problem with mRNA vaccines.
Champion show jumper, 22, develops blood clots after Moderna COVID Vaccine
Imogen Allen, 22, developed two blood clots in her lungs after receiving Moderna’s COVID vaccine and will be on blood thinners for the rest of her life, the Daily Mail reported. Allen was diagnosed with a bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism after collapsing while on a family vacation two weeks after being vaccinated.
Allen was told by doctors the clots could have been triggered by the vaccine alongside five years on the contraceptive pill. Allen, a champion show jumper, may never be able to ride a horse again and her dreams of becoming a police detective were dashed after she was left bedbound.
“I was always wary of something happening, and it just shows that I had every right to be, because look at me now,” Allen said.
Babies could be given COVID vaccines in U.S. this winter
Pfizer’s COVID vaccine could be rolled out to babies as young as 6 months in the U.S. this winter — under plans being drawn up by the pharmaceutical giant.
According to the Daily Mail, Pfizer plans to apply for authorization to immunize American infants within the next two months, although the timeline will depend on findings of in-house trials that assess safety and efficacy of children aged six months to 5 years.
Frank D’Amelio, CFO and executive vice president of global supply at Pfizer, said in an industry conference last week the firm plans to “go file” by November, the Financial Times reported.
“We would expect to have … data for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old that we would file with the FDA,” D’Amelio said at the Morgan Stanley Global Healthcare Conference. “I’ll call it in the weeks shortly thereafter the filing of the data for the 5- to 11-year-olds.”
Pfizer plans to seek approval from the FDA for the shots to be given in children aged 5 to 11 by October.
Young boys at higher risk of hospitalization from Pfizer vaccine than from COVID
According to a new pre-print study, healthy boys between the ages of 12 and 15, with no underlying medical conditions, were four to six times more likely to be diagnosed with vaccine-related myocarditis than they were to be hospitalized with COVID.
To identify children with evidence of cardiac injury, researchers reviewed reports submitted to VAERS of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 who received an mRNA COVID vaccine.
The researchers identified a total of 257 cardiac adverse events (CAE) using the CDC’s working case definition of myocarditis, and found the post-vaccination CAE rate was highest in 12- to 15-year-old boys following their second dose of Pfizer. About 86% of the boys affected required hospital care, the authors said.
Dr. Tracy Høeg, physician, epidemiologist and associate researcher at UC Davis, found the rate of myocarditis after two doses of Pfizer’s vaccine to be 162.2 cases per million for healthy 12- to 15-year-old boys, and 94 cases per million for healthy 16- to 17-year-old boys. The equivalent rates for girls were 13.4 and 13 cases per million, respectively.
At current U.S. infection rates, the risk of a healthy adolescent being taken to the hospital with COVID in the next 120 days is about 44 per million, they said.
Experts accuse CDC of ‘cherry-picking’ data on natural immunity
There is a growing body of literature that shows natural immunity not only confers robust, durable and high-level protection against COVID, but also provides better protection than vaccine-induced immunity.
Yet, the CDC is ignoring the science of natural immunity when it comes to COVID, while acknowledging it for other diseases, said Dr. Marty Makary, professor of surgery and health policy at Johns Hopkins University. On Sept. 14, Makary said on the “Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show,” the agency is providing contradictory, “illogical” COVID messaging. He accused the CDC of “cherry-picking” data and manipulating public health guidance surrounding vaccines and natural immunity to support a political narrative.
Makary explained how the CDC’s current guidance for chickenpox, for example, does not encourage those who have contracted it to vaccinate themselves against the virus. The CDC only recommends two doses of chickenpox vaccine for children, adolescents and adults who have never had chickenpox.
Makary called the conflicting guidance “absolutely illogical,” and accused the agency of “ignoring natural immunity.” He added the CDC is engaging in a statistical technique called “fishing,” where “you look for a tiny sliver of data that supports what you already believe.”
194 days and counting, CDC ignores The Defender’s inquiries
According to the CDC website, “the CDC follows up on any report of death to request additional information and learn more about what occurred and to determine whether the death was a result of the vaccine or unrelated.”
On March 8, The Defender contacted the CDC with a written list of questions about reported deaths and injuries related to COVID vaccines. We have made repeated attempts, by phone and email, to obtain a response to our questions.
Despite multiple phone and email communications with many people at the CDC, and despite being told that our request was in the system and that someone would respond, we have not yet received answers to any of the questions we submitted. It has been 194 days since we sent our first email to the CDC requesting information.

Job 9:7-8 “Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. ”
‘Space is full of mysteries. Those who think that the universe is millions or billions of years old have more mysteries to solve than Bible-believing Christians do.
One of these is the mystery of a star named Sirius B. This mystery is so great for evolutionists that it was one of the main topics of discussion at a scientific symposium at Louisiana State University in 1978.
Records of Egyptian astronomers dating back to 2,000 BC describe Sirius B as a red star. The Roman senator Cicero, writing in 50 BC, also said Sirius B was red. And Seneca described Sirius as being redder than Mars. And in 150 AD, Ptolemy, one of the most famous astronomers in history, listed Sirius as one of the six red stars.
There can be no question that Sirius was red. Today, Sirius B is a white dwarf star. That’s a problem because according to modern evolutionary astronomy, it should take at least 100,000 years for a red giant star to collapse into a white dwarf star.
The mystery of how the red giant Sirius became a white dwarf in less than 2,000 years was, and still is, the topic of hot debate. Sirius B calls into question the most basic theories about the supposed evolution of the universe. Obviously, those evolutionary ages are not nearly so well “proven” as evolutionists would like us to believe!’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/the-mystery-of-red-sirius-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-mystery-of-red-sirius-2&mc_cid=4eba88d894&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c
