Melbourne 2020: It was the best of times (Brett Sutton); it was the worst of times (COVID-19). 2025: Trying to stay COVID-free in a world that’s given up.
Agree wholeheartedly with this.
A violent man doused Hannah Clarke and their three children in petrol and set them alight. They died excruciating deaths. Hannah had left him, she did everything “right”.
Pauline Hanson: “these things happen”, “two-way street” #auspol
Imagine if you traveled back in time and told parents in 2018 that in two years a virus would come along that causes brain damage, weakens the immune system, and would kill and disable millions, I mean we can all assume they would be worried.
Then imagine telling them that after a year and a half of trying to avoid that virus as a society, the vast majority would welcome infections and rampant sickness because politicians told them it was safe.
Not a single parent would believe you.
Derryn Hinch lived a life made for the front page.
For decades, his voice boomed through radios and TVs into our cars and homes.
The thing about Derryn was that you never had to wonder what he thought.
He told you straight.
He never shied from a fight and sometimes seemed to relish one. But his convictions were always real.
He cared deeply about people who had been let down. He believed victims should be heard, and justice
should be fought for.
And when he believed something was right, he gave it everything.
That took him from 3AW to the Senate, where he stood up for victims of child sexual abuse, and pushed
for stronger protections in the law.
He leaves behind real change for victims and survivors who for too long went unheard.
To Lynda, his family, friends, colleagues, and loyal listeners, our thoughts are with you.
Derryn recently said he wanted only two words on his headstone.
“He tried.”
He succeeded.

COVID is persistent in almost all cases in at least one organ.
COVID forms syncytia starting at ACE2.
That means persistent COVID is degenerative.
If that chain of events were true, then it would look like aging.
And COVID also ages you.
@pmc_gov_au@SenKatyG@bec_white@Mark_Butler_MP I don't think there is Anything you can Announce, even with the very best of intentions, that compensates for no protein Covid vax for the mRNA vax intolerant. We visit the dentist. Unmasked healthcare. Yes, even in menopause. So thanks, but you fall short. #NovavaxForAustralia
Hospitals in Japan: cannot enter without a mask. Security at front door stops unmasked ppl to protect patients, staff and visitors from #airborne pathogens.
If you dread PPE, you have no business in medicine or public health.
You don’t hear people speak this way about helmets, seatbelts or condoms.
It’s only PPE for airborne viruses that folks take an issue with.
Their unwillingness to promote the right tools will kill people.
The same people who told you in 2020 that Covid didn't spread easily are now telling you that Andes Hantavirus doesn't spread easily.
They might be right this time.
But they were wrong last time.
@disclosetv When you could be carrying a deadly virus that kill yourself or others you HAVE to wear an N95 mask. No excuses from those in charge who should be ensuring everyone’s safety. He isn’t making excuses for the elderly he is making excuses for his lack of leadership.
@disclosetv Tedros sounds ridiculous. It's time WHO did a clean out and hired people who are serious about public health and aren't afraid to tell the truth and do what is necessary.
@disclosetv My mom is 84, disabled, has reduced lung function and wears 02 and she wears a mask. These people who are well enough to travel are not going to die from wearing a mask while around others.
GIVE US A BREAK.
You are really messing this up. We see your errors. The world is watching
@disclosetv Good grief. Only on the later stages of heart failure could my 93 year old dad not tolerate an N95. This aversion to basic public health from WHO is odd.
