SYDNEY, Australia — A state government minister has been infected with COVID-19 and another minister is in isolation as a cluster in the Australian city of Sydney worsens.

New South Wales Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall said he was told on Thursday that he had tested positive after dining with three government colleagues on Monday at a Sydney restaurant after an infected diner.

All four lawmakers had been attending Parliament as recently as Tuesday.

Health Minister Brad Hazard said he was self-isolating after being exposed to a potential case at Parliament House.

Probably just testing and tweaking the real virus on small populations before they release it this fall

Yeah I know. The superiority complex of liberals is amusing. “Stupid Americans can’t beat the virus... we obviously can.... oh... wait...”

I am not associated with the Dark Horse podcast. At the link, these are knowledgeable scientists discussing the Covid issues in an understandable way. The discussions have included the man credited with developing mRNA technology.

Some of the concerns: the vaccine may be neutralizing our natural immune response so that the virus will rapidly mutate into something the vaccine will not address and the new virus will cause our immune system to wear itself out creating antibodies to the wrong virus while that new virus kills us. There are also a number of other serious, life threatening issues discussed.

I don’t think Aussies ever came out of lockdown. They’ve been locked down for over a year down there, IIRC.

Going out to a restaurant is hardly being in lockdown.

I thought the next killer virus was supposed to appear at the end of July...

Is this not exactly what we've been told for the last three decades about antibiotics? that more diseases were mutating into antibiotic resistant strains?

Coronaviruses have been around for thousands of years and now, instead of treating sick patients with HCQ, Ivermectin, or similar, they instead give millions of healthy people not one, but a half-dozen different experimental types of treatments?

We are in the nadir of respiratory viruses. Worry about the vaccinated that were vexxed in March/April They will be going into the Cold/Flu season with dropping AB’s, namely the sterilizing AB’S. You can watch if you like

1.click on Lung Icon select RP2.1

2. Set slider button to line

3 click on (Martini Glass)

4 Select from Coronavirus

Sars CoV 2
Coronavirus OC43
Coronavirus HKU1

Both OC43 and HKU1 are cross reactive with CoV2 ( Covid)

In answering one of the questions Dark Horse said, the vaccines are exposing our immune system to just one aspect of the virus, the spike protein found on the surface. (In drawings it makes the virus resemble a WWI sea mine.) There are a lot of problems with this. It turns out that the protein itself, now being replicated in our vaccinated human cells, is a cyto-toxin. This was unexpected. Expression of this protein on the surface of cells, that’s how the vaccine works, may be the cause of the heart inflammation that is killing people. The body’s immune system attacks (inflames) the organ that has been infected with the vaccine. (The vaccine is supposed to stay in the muscle it was injected into but if it travels in the bloodstream, it can infect any organ or tissue.) Another problem is this mRNA technology, the developer of which was on the podcast, has zero record of safety, because it is brand new. It may turn out to be the greatest leap in medicine in since the Salk vaccine. Or, it may cause a raft of problems ranging from diseases like arthritis to reproductive problems. The thing is, we simply don’t know and vaccinating millions of people with a vaccine that may, down the road kill them or cause mass sterility is not a good thing to do. Also, this vaccine may be accelerating the virus evolution by centuries because the vaccine only teaches the immune system to attack one tiny portion of the virus, rather than, as older vaccines using killed virus’, teaching the immune system to go after then entire virus, thus wiping out most of the mutations with the same vaccine.

But putting all of that aside. How do I know this vaccine is a bad idea? Because we are being forced into it by an unprecedented and hysterical campaign. Ideally, only the people most vulnerable would be vaccinated. The rest of us would receive treatment of symptoms so we’d develop broad immunity. But the treatment options were effectively outlawed. Initially I thought this was because Trump had mentioned them and that made them off limits. But Trump’s gone and doctor’s still can’t prescribe treatments known to work. Why?

Dark Horse is excellent! Another good one is Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz. He interviewed Dr. McCullough yesterday. Since Dr. McM is a cardiologist, his comments on myocarditis were more than interesting. He also talked about the entries on the VAERS report. The ones that show up have been verified by the CDC and assigned a permanent number however the CDC is several months behind in verifying and posting cases. His explanation on VAERS is excellent and explains a lot of the misinformation that’s out there about what appears on the report. There is a lot more he talks about and it is well worth a listen.

A population can either get to herd immunity fast or get there slow. The only sensible thing is to quarantine only the most vulnerable get there fast with the main population. No country did all that well due to the ruling class becoming covid Karens on us.

There are currently cuurently 184 active cases in Australia (10 of which are people returning from overseas), 94 of these cases are in hospital (no breakdown if they are in intensive care or not).

In total, since the start of the pandemic in 2020, there has been 30,000 cases with 910 deaths.

This is a country of about 26 million.

I think it’s pretty much under control, at least by world standards.
