A respected epidemiologist who provided invaluable advice to Australians during the Covid pandemic has died at the age of 70.

Mary-Louise McLaws, a respected epidemiologist who provided valuable advice to Australians throughout the Covid pandemic, has died at the age of 70.

Professor McLaws, a health expert at the University of New South Wales, was a frequent presence on our television screens during the crisis, and also worked for a major advisory panel with the World Health Organisation.

Her guidance during the pandemic capped a long and distinguished career, devoted to limiting the spread of dangerous diseases.

She was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year, shortly before being named an Officer of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday honours list, in recognition of her “distinguished service to medical research, particularly epidemiology and infection prevention”.

“Our dear Mary-Louise passed away in her sleep on Saturday night,” Prof McLaws’ husband, Richard Flook, said in a statement on Sunday.

“She had been so well cared for by the nurses and doctors at Wolper Hospital in Woollahra and had enjoyed the visits of her many friends, who have been so supportive of her and our family.

“We will be planning her funeral service at Emmanuel Synagogue in the next few days.”

In addition to her husband, Prof McLaws leaves behind two children, Zachary and Zia.

70 used to seem so old. Now it seems like it’s just around the corner.

I suppose she was Australia’s version of Fauci and/or Birx, the scarf lady who wrote her book. About how she lied about 14 days to stop the spread. And lied to Trump.

I was in email correspondence with friends in Western Australia during the pandemic. They were MANIC in their reaction to Covid - believed 100% everything they were told - couldn’t even leave their city limits...I was told the U.S. was handling it ALL WRONG~~~~!!

She served her purpose. Probably advocated for all the lockdown and vax shots, got one herself, which gave or exacerbated the turbo cancer she got that killed her. Soros is proud.

She died doing what she loved, taking the clot shot.

“Our dear Mary-Louise passed away in her sleep on Saturday night,”

Sounds sudden.

‘She served her purpose.’

looking at the photo of this woman, she’s attractive in a matronly way, but to me she oozes an almost maniacal desire to tell people what to do, very similar to Hochul and Whitmer...

Tell me about it. Now I just want to enjoy what little time I have left (which as been my motto my whole life).

So she was in charge of Aussie covid tyranny in 2020 and 2021. And in 2022 we discover her brain was diseased.

Figures...

I told the same thing to Americans that AZ was wide open 1.5 years before most of them were.
I was told I was crazy.
