I've posted this before but I do believe it is worth repeating.

Yes, lots of those sorts of people here in Australia. And several of them are on this forum.

Look, myopic Juvenile Wank, the first part of the first sentence:

"I have to ask why it is that the anti-vaxxers and COVID deniers on this forum ..."

On this forum. Unfortunately for you, it wasn't  highleghted and in red capitals so could see it.

Fap on, JW.

I seriously doubt that anyone here is denying the existence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Or, is claiming that the Covid-19 disease does NOT exist. I also think that the anti-vaxxers you keep labeling, are just anti-Covid-19-vaxxers. And, NOT ANTI-ALL-VACCINES. 

It would be an evolutionary disadvantage for any virus to kill its host. If it did, it would NOT be able to spread itself to other hosts. In fact, it is our own immune response that can kill us(cytokine storm, autoimmune diseases, COPD, septicemia, etc.). NOT the virus! Since over 99% of those infected do recover, there must be other serious health issues/factors involved with the other 1%(chronic illnesses, multiple comorbidities, immuno-compromised, age, etc.). Right?

Regarding the motives of Big Pharma and the government, I think that PROFIT is the only underlying correlation shared by both. What other industry has a sweetheart deal with the government, that makes the government the liable defendant? And, insolates Big Pharma from all/any legal liabilities resulting from their actions(indemnity)??

Had the government only provided the public with information about this virus, and let the public make their own medical choices, we wouldn't be having this conversation. But the government chose to  take a more intrusive/active policy-making role. By mandating that the public and non-essential businesses, become compliant to their medical protocols and restrictions. And, people who do not comply with these protocols, could have their businesses closed down, arrested and fined, or treated as a pariah in their own country. These independent thinkers, were the ones being denigrated, ostracized, or forced to decide between keeping their jobs, or being injected with a class IV poison.

People were being forced to wear useless masks(eating and drinking), to isolate themselves, to always keep 2 meters apart, to obtain vaccine passports to enter certain businesses, and to not congregate in large groups for any reason. This is NOT how a civilize and rational society responds to a disease no more lethal than the Measles!

I'm not sure if it's hubris or arrogance, to hear vaxxers claiming the victim's card. It has always been the anti-Covid-vaxxers who were the victims of government shaming, coercion, ridicule, oppression, and other abuses. I guess anti-covid-vaxxers could just see past all the fear-mongering, cherry-picked stats, omissions, and the nonsense kumbaya platitudes. All being spewed-out by the media, as well-packaged and well-polished trite dumbshows and noise. Just to bedazzle its true groundlings.

Our argument has always been simple. This is a flu-like virus. This is NOT a hyped-up apocalyptic global killer virus on steroids! There is no excuse for almost destroying the Australia economy. It has always been shear hubris, for man to think that he could physically prevent a virus from infecting anyone. No matter how much he may want to believe that he can.

We are also amazed, that no matter how many red flags, lies, or broken promises made by the government, just how quickly most were ignored or dismissed by these so-called rational people. The government just kept changing the goal posts to avoid the skeptics, and to appease its sheeples.

How could anyone expect 26M people to keep 2 meters apart indefinitely?
Who would believe that hospitals would be unable to cope with this virus? Ignoring the biggest burdens on the healthcare system(obesity, diabetes, tobacco and alcohol abuse). All, easily avoidable illnesses.
Who would take a vaccine that would genetically force muscle cells to start making viral pathogens/antigens?
Who could ignore the fact, that this vaccine does NOT protect anyone from becoming infected, spreading, or even dying from this virus?
Who would continue to take any vaccine, INDEFINITELY(every 4-6 months)?

There is only 1 question that a rational-thinking person should ask himself about this virus. If I am infected, what are my chances of survival? And, with a 99% survival rate(over 3 years), I can trust my immune system to fight this virus. And, with over 80% of those infected reporting mild to no symptoms at all, why would I be afraid of contracting this type of flu? 

There will always be people who are genetically predisposed to doing whatever they are told to do by any authority. And, they will keep justifying their blind servitude/obedience, by parroting the government's half-truths, unwarranted assumptions, cherry-picked stats, and fallacious logic(i.e., begging the question).

Anyway, I'm so glad that saner, and more responsible heads have prevailed. That saving the public from this killer virus, does NOT come at ANY costs! When it comes to my health, I want to be in total control.

Of course there is.  Why is it that you repeatedly get so hot and bothered
by stuff like this?  What's it got to do with you whether or not other people
choose to wear a mask anyway?  Nobody's forcing you to wear a mask, so
what's your problem exactly?

Generational categories are rough estimates based on sociocultural zeitgeists.

There is nothing scientific about them, and are reliant on a general consensus of the sociocultural mood of the (collectively anglospheric) society to which they're applied, for their definition and significance.

The ones we use (from boomers on) are predicated on anglospheric culture (driven by American culture) pivoting on WW2, then postwar recovery, the cold war, the youth culture of the 60s and 70s, the Regan years, the defining of Generation X by Douglas Coupland, the dot-com bubble, the dot-com bust, the turn of the millennium, the GFC, the Great Recession, the Obama years, the i-U-name-it, Trumpism and now the Pandemic Years.

None, to few, of the above zeitgeists and events would apply in China, India, the Soviet Union/Russia, eastern Europe, most of Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, the middle east and (to a significant degree), western Europe.

Stop telling lies.

We were forced to wear masks outside in NSW it was a $500 fine if caught. Former PM Tony Abbott was fined.

In Qld people had to wear masks while alone in their cars how stupid was that? Modern cars have a Pollen filter that is far more effective than masks.

The pic on Qld health facebook page has one person in a car yet they still have to wear a mask.

There was zero zip zilch evidence to support this idiocy.
