Lockdowns not the answer


 

Lets put the stats thrown at us into perspective


The official UK government website for data and insights on coronavirus (COVID-19)

Up to and including 14 August 2021

All vaccination data

Daily — 1st dose.  46,603

Total — 1st dose.   47,302,445 or 89.4 % of adult population

Daily — 2nd dose. 199,584

Total — 2nd dose.  40,577,198 or 76.7% of adult population


Cases

People who have tested positive

Latest data provided on 15 August 2021

Daily. 26,750 positive cases

Last 7 days.  200,327 positive cases


All cases data

Deaths

Deaths within 28 days of positive test

Latest data provided on 15 August 2021

Daily 61 deaths

Last 7 days 635 deaths.


Yet they no longer have the draconian rules we are applying in Australia in regard Social distancing etc.


In Australia as at 3pm on 15 August 2021, we have had a total of 39,096 cases of COVID-19 reported in Australia, including 958 deaths, and approximately 7,000 active cases.  Remember these are total numbers since the Pandemic started.


Over the past week, there has been an average of 396 new cases reported each day. Of the newly reported cases, the majority have been from New South Wales.  However, we must consider the difference in figures because in the UK they have restrictions now, they have well over the 75% of population claimed to be immunised and yet their stats show that active cases in 2 days far exceed Australias total cases in around 2 years.


Like with the flu we have to accept people will get ill and some will die.  We have a flu vaccine available to people but it is their choice to get immunised, because we are a democratic society, and no Govt has the right to take away our choice in these matters.  


The Coronavirus is not any worse than other strains of flu have been.  It is time the Govt stops locking people into quarantine with other household members who dont have the virus.  When most people recognise they are sick they will isolate themselves from friends and family naturally and this has always been found to be satisfactory in controlling outbreaks.


For the record I get a flu injection each year and have no fears of vaccinations when it is proven they work.

Why can’t I decide

  Imagine being diagnosed with cancer. They tell you you need chemotherapy.  You check the side-effects of chemotherapy and decide they are too severe for you to risk. You tell your doctor you don’t want the treatment, but they say you will have chemotherapy whether you like it or not, or you wont be able to access Healthcare. They claim without chemotherapy you might die and, if necessary, you will be kept locked up in hospital to make sure you get it. Fortunately, this could never happen in Australia. When it comes to illnesses – such as cancer, heart disease or appendicitis – the law does not allow a doctor to force patients into treatment they competently refuse. If you understand what is involved and can weigh up the risks and benefits of your choice, you can refuse medical treatment even if you could die as a result. People competently refuse chemotherapy, renal dialysis or operations quite often. They may do so for any any number of reasons, such as not agreeing with th...

The Significance of Choice

Image
 I spent many years in the RAAF and discipline was a part of life.  We only had limited freedom on base and appreciated our freedoms and the choices we had off base.  Even when I was an Investigator with Immigration we dealt with a unsavoury element of human traffickers and crawled in tight spacer both on boats and on land.  Due to this we had a need for Hep injections, but this a individuals choice even though work paid for them.  The same went with Influenza and pneumococcal injections. I personally chose to get these injections, but this is my point, “ I CHOSE’.  No-one should ever lose that fundamental right, because people will choose what works for them and what makes them feel safe.   I believe because the Big Brother style government in Australia is forcing these vaccinations on the population, they are getting resistance from many who would get vaccinated otherwise.  I know I have had a choice of which vaccination I could  have due t...

Vaccine Mandates: an unjustified assault on our human rights and freedoms

Image
  A growing number of Australians are becoming acutely aware that vaccination policy will eventually intrude into every aspect of their personal, family, social and economic lives, unless the sweeping powers available to the parliament under the Australian Constitution are duly limited. It is not a case of if, but when vaccination policy will touch an individual, family or occupational class. It would seem that no citizen will be immune from the authoritarian creep towards coe rcive, cradle- to-grave, or more correctly, womb-to-tomb vaccination laws, as vaccine promoters find more and more indications for vaccination. The old, the young, the yet-to-be-born; no citizen will be able to escape multiple rounds of vaccination and boosters. Existing mandates for health care workers will be extended to other occupations, and as vaccination failure becomes more difficult to conceal by health officials, adults, including pregnant women, will be increasingly targeted for vaccination, and the...
