Omicron – what’s not to like? The more I learn about the Omigod variant (as opposed to simply imbibing what the ABC wants me to believe about it), the more it appeals to me. It’s turning out to be an epidemiologist’s dream variant – wildly infectious, little more capable of killing people than a bad […]
It’s a classic Sydney Christmas Day here in Sydney – 29 degC, and not a cloud in the sky. The Omigod variant is overtaking the common cold in the rapidity of its transmission, spreading immunity as fast as it spreads its largely innocuous symptoms. It looks to Harrumpf as though within a matter of days […]
Dr Campbell calls it ‘the Australian Protocol’ – does it signal the end of the panic? Dr John Campbell is a reasonable man. As befits a dedicated professional clinician, he is slow to chastise his peers, even when, as he patiently and diligently charts the progress of the Covid virus, he finds much in their […]
The health fascists who control us have every reason to perpetuate this absurd scare indefinitely. The Covid 19 virus has been the occasion for the most spectacular, and the most ruinously expensive instance of mass delusion that the world has ever seen. The controlling elites in most of the world’s nations have persuaded one another […]
Tyranny in the Territory. Here in New South Wales, the Covid pantomime has been bad enough – irrational, ever-changing constraints on our liberty, a one-eyed application of the Precautionary Principle and a vaccination policy which creeps, ratchet-like, from warm exhortation towards cold compulsion. We’ve tended to view the excesses of other jurisdictions as amusingly barmy, […]
We’re all gonna die – again! With public anxiety over ‘the Delta variant’ seriously on the wane, the Church of Covid has been in need of some fresh brimstone with which to terrify its adherents for some time, and waddya know, here it is – Omicron. We’ve been living, year in, year out, with new […]
When I came to Australia in 1976, fed up with a Britain that appeared committed to its own decline, there were few things I missed about the old country. A good tomato was impossible to find – we had to make do with a vast, tasteless variety concocted by the CSIRO for its fecundity and […]
Give our aboriginal kids an unfair advantage – teach them good, plain English. Letter to Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, Country Liberal Party (NT), 2.229 McMillans Road, Jingili NT 0810 Dear Jacinta, I’m writing to you in the hope that you can put me out of my misery. For years, now, I’ve had a recurrent dream about […]
An excellent summary of the Covid stats by Luke Massey in the Spectator. I have just one thing to add – the true measure of the lethality of a virus is surely its Infection Mortality Rate (IFR). Massey correctly observes that the the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) for Covid is strikingly low, and should concern […]
The Glasgow pantomime has nearly had its run, and the cast of fools will soon disperse, borne homeward in a fleet of jets. Like all really bad ideas, climate catastrophism depends for its persistence upon the substitution of rational scepticism with a pharisaical appetite for personal rectitude. In a post-religious age, the pursuit of personal […]
