Australia proves why socialized medicine is so dangerous
American Thinker ^ | 7 Sep, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

It's bad medicine at the best of times, but the real problem arises when the government wants to bully you.

Australia didn't slowly turn into a totalitarian nation. It became one overnight, thanks to the people's willingness to accept their governments' hysterical reaction to COVID. We've all watched in horror as a once free country now confines people to their homes, forces injections on their children, turns unmasked people into "most wanted" outlaws, shoots dogs, and prepares to track people's every movement with apps backed by police power. The latest craziness in Victoria is to deny health care to people who resist getting the vaccination.

As a preliminary point to any discussion about vaccine mandates, it's incumbent upon me to note that Israel, the most heavily vaccinated country in the world, is being overwhelmed by the delta variant and has the highest infection rate in the world. Last week, the country said people needed a third shot. This week, it's saying that people must take a fourth shot and, indeed, must be perpetually vaccinated to survive COVID mutations.

It's easy to liken the vaccination to a flu shot, but it's actually worse than a flu shot. The annual flu shot gives people some immunity against the annual flu, which is a slightly different virus every time. Getting a flu shot in one year does not have any effect on your resistance or vulnerability to the flu in subsequent years. However, it seems that the COVID vaccines increase people's vulnerabilities to future COVID variants. Thanks to the vaccine, they're on an endless treadmill of booster shots, all of which come with an unusually high number of severe side-effects.

Now they will have to accept totalitarianism or fight to get their freedom back with very few guns.

Wait—I thought health care is a basic human right?

It is. And like all basic human rights, it must be enforced under threat of starvation.

Well, MOST basic human rights, anyway.

Okay, SOME basic human rights.

Okay, fine, this is the only basic human right that must be enforced under threat of starvation.

Is that expecting too much?

One would think so ... if not expect so. After all, the communist Chinese model of unrestrained tyranny the Aussie government is now practicing (with unrestrained glee, I must note) is really not designed to be forced on a populace that enjoyed libery and personal freedom just 18 months ago.

It is, it is....it’s just that The Unvaxxed aren’t human, so they have that loophole.

“Rules for Radicals.: “If you control healthcare, you control the people”.
We are seeing this play out in all the “colonies” of Britain who have govt run health care.
Govt run healthcare-the govt decides who lives and who dies, here they are.

Fairly soon I expect the governments of Australia and New Zealand to permanently suspend elections as a threat to public health.

Like that won’t create a huge black market economy. I’m not a cryptohead, but the more these European and Aus/NZ go full nazi, the more I can see a secondary, underground market emerge where transactions take place in something besides the national currency. If there’s a lockdown, barter is a very limited option.

Would they ever deny health care to gays (who have the highest incidence of AIDS than any other individuals)... but who refuse to make ‘lifestyle changes’???
