I don't remember saying that early lockdowns would make little difference in the death/infection tallies(but I could have). Even during the first "15 odd months" of the lockdowns. There just isn't any direct causal links between lockdowns and mass infections/deaths.

I do remember pointing out population density as a contributing factor. For example you used NY. It has the highest population density of all the US states(27K people/sq. mile). In comparison, Sydney's population density is 1.1K people/sq. mile.

Does this mean the virus will spread 27 times faster in NY than in Sydney? No, there are other factors that must be considered. Australia is NOT the same as other countries. Many factors might not apply here.

You said that there were thousands of covid deaths in NSW and Victoria within the "15 odd months" of the lockdown. But my research shows there were only around 900 recorded deaths throughout Australia.

My point is, that we should NOT base our policies and strategies on the stats from other countries. We certainly know more about these factors in our own country than we do in the US. 

We know that there were only 7 covid deaths, and over 600 cases before the lockdowns. After lockdowns(15 odd months) there were over 900 deaths, and over 30K cases. If we calculate that the 7 deaths were in 1 month, then there should only be 105 deaths in 15 months of lockdowns. Why was there over 900 deaths? The government will just blame the people and create even tighter restrictions   

The last two points are, it doesn't matter how many people are infected. All that matters is how many people die DIRECTLY from this virus. And how many people recover from this virus. Remember, even over 80% of our elderly recover from this virus.

Finally, there is asolutely NOTHING we can do to "CONTROL CHANCE". Since the mortality rate of this virus is less than 1%, we are in the realm of chance. The variables in this range are almost infinite.

So let me ask you, do you think that 26M people can stay 1.5 meters apart indefinitely? Do you think that masks WILL protect you from being infected? Do you think that vaccines will prevent anyone from being infected?

So why did we almost destroy our own country thinking that these measures could? It would have been cheaper for the government to issue everyone(including children) with their own completely self-contained HAZMAT suit!!

I never meant to imply there was an inordinate amount of adverse vaccine events. Any adverse event less than 1%, is just friken bad luck.

All vaccines will have some adverse reactions and side effects. However, this is NOT a normal vaccine. I doesn't work in the body like a normal vaccine. All other vaccines use dead, attenuated, partial, or modified real pathogens. The immune system's antibodies can recognize multiple markers(not just one) on the pathogens/antigens.

Also, ACE2 receptor sites are found all over the body. If these mRNA attach to ACE2 receptors on cardiac muscle cells, they will force them to produce spiral spikes. This will then prompt the immune system to attack them(cardiac muscles). I'm curious! Do people not understand how the immune system works?

Forunately, it is rare for a healthcare worker to inject this vaccine directly into a blood vessel. But it does happen. This doesn't happen with normal vaccines. But the more injections in the population, the greater the chances of adverse events in the population. 

My mother passed away during the lockdown. I was not allowed to say my final goodbys.

I agree that your medical problems should always be between you and your doctor. The line is drawn when I am threatened, ridiculed, coerced, or forced to put anything into my body against my will. This should be a no-brainer to anyone!

What medical decisions others choose is none of my business. If you don't want medical help, no doctor can force you too. So how can the government? I think this was only to show the world, that Australia can do one better than any other country.

We can isolate longer, suspend more civil liberties, have higher fines, hire dumber thugs for enforcement, build better containment centers, close down more businesses, force medical ID's/passports, close down interstate borders, stop international flights, enforce curfews and impossible mandates(distancing and masks), and jab or job.

The world was so impressed, that they actually marched to free Australia in solidarity! That actually brought a tear to my eye. 

I doubt if the government will ever make that mistake again!  

Okay, lets look at Texas. It DOES have over 100,000 deaths. But you didn't mention that these were the total accumulated deaths since early 2020. Right? Now lets add some more context! As of April 11, 2024, the total deaths with/from Covid was 104,793 people(1% mortality).

Now lets also include, that out of a total of 9,190,299 cases, there were 9,071,389 people who survived(99% survival). This is around 68 Texans dying each day with/from this virus, since the start of the pandemic.

I also don't think that this virus has any partisan preference. It is an equal opportunity virus. It will infect young/old, masked/unmasked, vaccinated/unvaccinated, republicans/democrates, Black Americans/White Americans, ALL EQUALLY!

Although this might seem intuitively obvious, the stats and data just don't support this claim. What the stats and data HAVE shown us, is that this is a less virulent form of the original SARS virus. That the majority of people infected are asymptomatic, or reported having zero to mild symptoms. Those not in the high-risk category have an over 99% chance of survival.

This was really just a storm in a teacup.
