While the heavily manipulated mainstream media has been filled wall to wall with climate alarmism, out in the real world thousands of Australians are being forced to leave their jobs in tears because they refuse to have “the jab”.

Mandating a vaccine which is yet to receive final regulatory approval, which has cost the public purse billions of dollars in secretive deals, and whose efficacy and dangers are entirely controversial, has provoked demonstrations not just in Australia but around the world.

If you listened to the mainstream media, you would have no idea anything was going on.

The public square has to be filled with something, and these days it’s impossible to turn on the radio without hearing yet another climate change story. If it’s not a blizzard of Deep State bullshit, then it’s malign, insidious and destructive. Take your pick. You cannot ignore what is happening in the homes and streets of your own country forever; the nation’s media cannot ignore their social responsibilities forever, surely.

But so it would appear.

Australians have grown weary of the madness of ineffective lockdowns and disgusting yet daily sight of preening politicians pretending they have saved us all. But as the country finally opens up, the government push for vaccination grows ever more intense.

And surreal.

Elite opinion was always against lockdowns. It was the embrace of lockdowns by an uneducated public and their amoral, self serving political class which turned Australia into the most locked down country on Earth.

Now we’re seeing the same divide over vaccinations, with elite opinion sounding major alarm bells, while politicians shout ever louder, as if they were herding cattle.

Here’s a good example, in Spectator Australia, from the formidable intellect of Rebecca Weisser:

Covid’s lepers
As the experience of Israel, the US and the UK attests, effectiveness begins to wane almost immediately. The latest UK data shows vaccine efficacy waning by around 5 per cent per week in double-vaccinated people over the last six weeks. Moreover, as efficacy declines, double-vaccinated people are more likely to catch Covid than the unvaccinated, with rates of infection in double-vaccinated people higher in every age group over 30. This suggests that over time, vaccine-induced antibodies don’t simply dwindle to zero, they make the vaccinated person progressively more likely to catch Covid than the unvaccinated. It is not clear why.
The vaccinated are not just more likely to catch Covid, they are more likely to spread it. 

But the reality of overseas experience with vaccines, the basic no brainer of doubting a convergence of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Big Government, is failing to sink in to Australia’s political class.

Indeed they never let up:

If we’re at 70 per cent can we now end the pandemic of premiers’ press conferences?

One of the single most appalling thing about the Australian government’s refusal to step back from the abyss of its own making, a kind of political Rake’s Progress of the modern era, has been the mandating of vaccines for workers, leading to massive disruption across multiple industries as people in their thousands refuse to surrender their individual sovereignty.

The blind leading the blinded, the Australian government cannot even look up from its own navel gazing self destruction long enough to notice that mandating vaccines is causing protest and chaos around the world.

The algorithmic downplaying of these demonstrations at the behest of governments ensure the population remains blinded by their politicians and mired in ignorance. It really should not be. It is all leading straight to the pit; to immense social dislocation, and to an era of great suffering.

Will they not step back from the edge of the abyss?

Here’s a small sampling from the past fortnight.

My name is Craig Backman and until recently, I WAS, a proud Senior Constable with Victoria Police. On the 17th of September 2021, I wrote an email to Management of Victoria Police where I outlined my reasons for refusing to be a part of any activity that I believed unfairly breached the Human Rights of Victorian citizens, as ordered by the Victorian Government.
