VIDEO: 13m: 14 Jul: Sky News Australia: The ‘damage is not being told’ of political fear-mongering on coronavirus
Presenter: Alan Jones
If Australia has only dozens of people in hospital and in intensive care across the country due to coronavirus, “how the hell is this a pandemic” says Sky News host Alan Jones.
Mr Jones said there are “things government won’t tell” the Australia public on the issue of COVID-19.
“The one story we are not being told is what damage has been done and is being done by the fear-mongering of political leaders, whose first instinct is to frighten us,” he said.
“The second instinct is to exercise complete control over us, via shutdowns or lockdowns”.
He said political leaders only listen to the experts “which suit them” and not the others who warned of the implications of the social, economic and public health consequences of widespread lockdowns.
“Politicians are too arrogant to listen”.
Mr Jones spoke of the widespread economic ramifications of the government-imposed coronavirus lockdowns with the Australian’s economic editor Adam Creighton.
Mr Creighton said the “reality is this disease is far, far less dangerous than was first thought”.
“But ministers are not saying that”.
He also said elements of the media have not reported the deaths and cases “in context” which has subsequently “scared the daylights out of people”.
