Vaccinations No Silver Bullet Warns Australian Senator; Admits Restrictions Would Remain For a Long Time

Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has warned that vaccinations are no silver bullet for Australian society to return to normal and has called on political leaders to be “upfront” and tell Australians they need to “live with the virus.”

Canavan made the comments on Aug. 4, in Parliament during the second reading of a new Bill to finance support payments to businesses.

“It is past time as a nation that we in this place, of all people, be upfront with the Australian people and get rid of the fantasy and fairytales that we are continually trying to put the Australian people to sleep with,” he told the Senate.

“We should front up to them with the facts and the reality of this terrible pandemic and what might happen in the next few years in this country regardless of what we do or how many people get vaccinated in the months ahead,” he added.

On Aug. 3, the Doherty Institute held a press conference with Prime Minister Scott Morrison to outline the modelling used to underpin the federal government’s strategy for easing COVID restrictions via staged vaccination targets.

The modelling ( pdf ) suggested that even if 80 percent of Australians were vaccinated—which according to the federal government’s plan would be when the international border restrictions were eased—in just 180 days, over 40,010 vaccinated Australians could become symptomatically infectious, with 439 potential deaths.

A further, 238,991 unvaccinated Australians could also be infected, with 842 deaths.

However, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has noted that the higher the vaccination rate was, the lower the infection and death rate.

Senator Canavan said the “truth of the situation” was that restrictions would remain for the long term.

He said:

“Those 280,000 coronavirus infections would be in a world where we still had a two-square-metre rule; they would be in a world, according to this modelling, where we would still have only 70 percent capacity at sporting stadiums,” he said. “It would be a world where we still had testing, tracing, isolation and quarantine.”

The world lives with all sorts of viruses and bacteria daily that our body battles and defeats. The rona is just one of them and is immenently defeatable without double-shotted “vaccines” that require boosters every six months.

It is interesting that a false underlying assumption (”terrible pandemic”) is the basis for the rest of the claims.

It just is not that terrible.

Problem solved!

Trying to “eliminate the virus” is delusional and will prove deadly from tangential consequences, ie substance abuse, suicide, etc.

Why even call it a nation. There won't be one if it's not allowed to function. And there is no interest by government officials in executing an exit strategy to do so - just more restrictions. I don't think the nations of the West have been so wobbly since the 1930's, ripe for adverse exploitation.

I keep thinking.. hitler stalin, mussolini, mau all arose in the same generation. We are there.
Ripe for an invasion, too. Of course w 1800 border crossers Daily, that is happening now.
Without Gods mercy and our return to Him this cannot be saved. Our current affairs reads like OT judgements of disobedient Israel.

This can NEVER end well. Politicians have gone so far down the wrong path, the truth will destroy them in the long run. They cannot admit the failure of their edicts without whole nations turning on them and angrily chasing them down to every corner of their miserable existence.

As someone correctly pointed out, even the “Black Death” is still with us. There is no way to completely eradicate a virus.

What Australian politicians have done is sow the seeds of a revolution by denying people all of their liberty in a hopeless quest for their impossible objective.

There is no point in “saving lives” if those lives end up being not worth living.

They are fools.

“with 439 potential deaths”

Out of Australia’s estimated 25.7 million people.

Orwell’s human face being stomped by a jackboot forever was wearing a mask.
