We can’t afford to spend trillions of dollars on everything that (ought to) scare us. One thing that has perturbed Harrumpf greatly about the present mass neurosis, otherwise known as the Covid crisis, is the extent to which our ability to evaluate hazard has been corrupted by the orgy of performative anxiety in which so […]

Dr Campbell on ‘that’ BBC News report. The Covid zombies have been all of a twitter lately, over a couple of BBC News reports. Most recently, the Beeb, which is a close rival to ‘our’ ABC in its fearless reporting of the catastrophist party line on Covid, report a meta-analysis debunking Ivermectin. Ivermectin is the […]

Dominic Perrottet’s modestly brisk approach to reopening NSW is having a predictably unsettling effect on the usual suspects. As they have throughout the Covid scare, the Mainstream Media have been quick to give prominence to finger-wagging experts who are duly wagging their fingers at the NSW premier, warning that a ‘spike’ in cases ‘might’ follow […]

In my last post, I expressed the hope that our state’s new premier, Dominic Perrotet, having previously held the portfolio of Treasurer, might strike a better balance in the state’s Covid policy between health and economic outcomes, and be less inclined than his predecessor, and certainly than his counterparts in other states, to spend money […]

Covid has given the Smuggocracy something new to obsess about. My State of New South Wales staggers tentatively in the direction of liberty, led by a brand new premier, the last one having had a spectacularly unwise ‘front-botty moment’, as an old girlfriend of mine would have called it, with a crooked fellow politician, and […]

Driving to Alexandria today (exactly 5km, according to my app, so ‘within area’) I was undertaken by a speeding Mercedes GLA which then cut in front of me, crossing a solid white line to do so. Driving to and from the radio station where I work (out of area, but my voice on air, introducing […]

If you wish for peace, prepare for war. The Romans knew a thing or two about warfare, and about keeping the peace. After a century in which the two bloodiest wars in human history were fought, we ought to, too, but the response in some quarters to the formation of Aukus suggests that some are […]

Another day, another video clip from the excellent Dr John Campbell – this time about the home Covid treatment kits being distributed in India. India is a source of considerable vexation for the Covid Zombies. The realities of its everyday life have meant that it simply hasn’t been able to achieve the same level of […]

On Tuesday, 24 August last, I emailed the Doherty Institute to ask if they had performed any earlier work which would justify the confidence reposed by our government in their Covid modelling. You can see the ensuing exchange here. As I wrote then, their initial response was not encouraging, and I resolved not to hold […]

In its desperation to preserve its fraying, tawdry narrative that Covid 19 is a deadly disease against which the only defence is vaccination and obedience to government edicts, the Australian Department of Health has descended to a new low in its decision to forbid the prescription of Ivermectin for the treatment of Covid. I’m indebted […]
