Human arrogance has caused the current #Polycrisis and all living things are now endangered.

If this is the best Australia can do then I am un-Australian.

Very disappointed with abc.net.au its televised and radio news outlets and its faux outrage at the release of illegally detained asylum seekers.

Jumping on the xenophobic and racist tropes coming from the Liberal Party and others.

Completely misrepresenting the risk to the community and ignoring the fact that recidivism of Australian citizens released from gaol is 60%.

ABC News once again fear mongering about the release of illegally detained asylum seekers. Talking to the horrid Angus Taylor (opposition) to comment on government policy and mislead on how safe or unsafe the decisions made by various governments are.

So heavily biased and incorrect.

Simply appalling, from the national broadcaster.

The cognitive dissonance here is palpable.

It is a false premise that vaccine mandates prevent people from getting on with life.

I would argue that mandatory vaccinations for specific situations help all people, but, especially the vulnerable, enjoy a rich, varied and fulfilling life.

This is seen in mandatory vaccinations for many other diseases.

Queensland’s chief health officer Dr John Gerrard has been accused of “medical gaslighting” following his comments on long COVID. | couriermail.com.au

@auscovid19

Source: https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/chief-health-office-dr-john-gerrard-slammed-over-calls-to-scrap-term-long-covid/news-story/aef6f684a37e9c6ddd38119b5f5f2005

“The message comes from the top. Why would healthcare staff in Queensland take patients seriously when the leading doctor diminishes the very real condition that is impacting more and more people?” Ms Austin, 47, from Eukey, in the Southern Downs, said. “I felt like my nervous system was constantly being eaten away by ants. My brain would seize and I would have no idea where I was in my own home. I’d get on a bus and would be sitting there clueless as to where I was going or why. It was so frightening,” she said. “I would have such severe chest pain I’d end up in the emergency department multiple times to be told they could find nothing wrong. I literally felt I was going mad and was totally alone.” Dr Gerrard’s comments made headlines internationally and garnered opposition from medical experts. His statement was related to new research, from his own team, that found there were similar ongoing symptoms with other viral infections. “I don’t deny that long Covid has commonalities with other post viral illnesses but it is crucial that it is labelled for the purpose of patient validation and pathways to treatment,” Ms Austin said. Dr Gerrard emphasised to The Courier-Mail that he acknowledged that the symptoms are real and can cause significant distress to those affected.
“However, the research suggests the types of longer-term symptoms and complications after Covid-19 are not unique or exceptional to the virus,” he said. “Physically I feel better but mentally I am still scarred from the experience and I live in fear of getting Covid again as I just couldn’t face reliving that nightmare. Covid is certainly not over for me or for many of the people still suffering. I managed to graduate and do well but life has changed for ever” Ms Austin said. Micquette Abercrombie from the Australia Long Covid Community said that hundreds of the group’s members are Queenslanders. “The level of anger and astonishment after the CHO’s message was huge. One of the biggest problems facing members is being taken seriously by the medical community. They need to be believed and treatment developed,” she said. Gary Macpherson from Hamilton, keeled over in the emergency department of the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in 2020 — he had contracted Covid. That was the start of a health nightmare for Mr Macpherson. He landed in ICU for six weeks. Four years later he still suffers from lingering health problems sparked by the virus. He too has slammed the CHO for his comment that the phrase “long Covid” sparked unnecessary fear. “I don’t have long Covid. I have Covid for life. It is very real. While I am not as debilitated as I was I still only have only 80 per cent lung function and kidney problems. I don’t have any buffer if I get sick again,” he said.

Rather than downplaying the ongoing effects of viral infections health authorities and spokespeople should acknowledge their existence and ensure there is adequate support and education for sufferers and carers.

It is well known that a parasitic infection conveys no net benefit to its host.

    If Anthony Albanese wants to be anything other than a 1 term PM in a 1 term government he and his ministers need to step up.

    They need to stop letting the opposition determine policy. They need to stop the opposition dominating MSM with their own talking points and spin.

    They need to stop letting the opposition take credit for decisions.

    In short the Albanese government needs to start governing.

    Half of COVID survivors still had symptoms at 3 years, more reinfections amid Omicron.

    Three years after COVID-19 infection, 54% of adults in a Chinese cohort still had at least one symptom, most of them mild to moderate in severity, with higher rates of reinfection and pneumonia after the emergence of the Omicron variant, shows a study published yesterday in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.

    I can fully understand why the Reserve Bank would want to raise interest rates even further.
