What’s the raw numbers? They supposedly have a 75% vax rate but little to no natural immunity.

What? How can it spread if everyone is crammed in their apartments together breathing the same air? I don’t understand.

Given all the unmasked Aussie storm troopers who have been brutally assaulting unarmed protesters, I’m not surprised that Covid cases are rising.

And The Hill knows this because...
1) They are in Australia and actually reviewed the numbers.
2) Someone in told them this and they ran with it.
One of these are true, the other Fake News.

Easy fix. Mandate 5 masks for everyone and no more than one person in a room at the same time, oh and mandate your ass must hang out a window when farting because we were told farting can spread the China Virus.

If you're really serious, Australia, this is your only solution. Turn every man, woman and child into a bubble boy. Forever. Ignore the economic and human costs. If even one life is saved, it's worth it.

They’re finally awakening to the realization that COVIDZero is unattainable and delusional.

This is the result of giving bureaucrats and healthcare providers absolute control/authority, and now they are doing everythng they can to maintain it. Lockdowns, mandates, false positve test results, and recording every illness or death as COVID.

It will never end unless people literally fight back.

As usual, no breakdown of the alleged “cases” by severity of symptoms, if any. Great way to keep the fear going.

Who is going to fight back? They’re forcing people out of their jobs at this point. Making people have nothing to lose is going to get very dangerous.

My company just enacted a deadline to be fully vaxxed. I don’t know what I can do! There is one person in my office that is going to leave and he’s a valued team member. SMH

PLEASE! Don’t let the Dems find out that the actual cause of Covid in having home parties...or Dementia Joe will issue a presidential order banning home parties and they will send out enforcement squads busting in your our homes...and while they are there they will seize anything they decide is worth over $600...must have been illegally obtained if you had $600 to spend.

It's amazing how the places with the most covid are the places with the most vaccinated against covid. That's one heck of a coincidence. /s
