Australia’s Chief Health Officer Completely Dashes Any Hope the Country Will Return to Normal One Day
Townhall ^ | Sep 27, 2021 | Leah Barkoukis

While speaking about the vaccination rates in New South Wales, Australian chief health officer Kerry Chant expressed optimism that they’d soon reach a 90 percent vaccination rate for the 16 and over population. Even still, however, she quickly poured cold water on the idea of life returning to normal ever again.

"We will not be going back to pre-COVID levels. We are always going to have to be mindful that COVID exists," she said. "We're going to have to engage with booster shots, we're going to have to engage with advice from time to time when we see outbreaks. We're going to have to respond, so it's not going to go back to normal, we can't deny that we have to live with COVID."

...

The comments came after violent protests over vaccine mandates for the construction industry rocked Melbourne, Victoria.

Australia has taken some of the most extreme measures against Covid-19, severely curtailing citizens’ freedoms by restricting interstate travel, setting up detention camps, going after booze, creating Orwellian apps to track Covid compliance, and more. Some liberal writers in the U.S. have wondered if Australia can even call itself a democracy anymore.

...

Meanwhile, other countries have declared the opposite. Denmark lifted all Covid restrictions earlier this month, celebrating a “whole new era,” while Sweden removed most remaining pandemic restrictions. Norway also ended them, with Prime Minister Erna Solberg declaring, “the time has come to return to a normal daily life.”

Yes, there is. And historically speaking, it has often been the only cure.

And it cost China so little to buy these few people - look at all the natural resources Xi Jinping will end up controlling just because Westerners are dumb enough to obey their own civil masters even in the face of their naked incompetence.

Why was the idiot US Government spending so much money all these years on foreign aid and poverty programs when all they had to do was pay off a few corrupt officials and loot everything they wanted? China has shown the world The Way. /s

No matter how you look at it, those in charge know SOMETHING that they’re not telling.

“ A change of Government can do wonders…”

The voting machines have been vaccinated against that.

A Mussolini type event is the only way they will get their country back now. They will also have to include all the Gestapo as well.

I guess now we know why the Chinese build those empty ghost cities, it’s aware the elites will live when their assignments are completed.

Australian chief health officer Kerry Chant will take her self-loathing out on her countrymen as long as they let her.

They don’t want it to ever get better. The virus is a wonderful justification for their rapid conversion to fascism.

If one takes the “you” out of ‘Aussies’, they become ‘Assies’.

...and that’s their problem. They try to barricade themselves as some kind of giant island capable of keeping the infections out*. But how, exactly, are they going to exist in the long term? The answer is just what he’s saying, they will have some kind of paranoid bubble-boy existence, having to keep people from outside from coming in, and not even letting their own people even go outside of their bubble.

Good luck with that.

Meanwhile, from Italy...

EMANUEL: Police officers take off their helmets in show of support. In Italy many of the Carabinieri, Police officers, Soldiers, Sailors and Pilots have decided not to be vaccinated. More men and less Soyboys, this is how we win the war. (VIDEO)
