To the #IStandWithDan crowd. Taking a binary reading of the PCR tests over a quantitative one misrepresents the results such that up to 90% of positive cases have insignificant amounts of the virus. We do this here. 1/

To the #IStandWithDan crowd. A GP working in aged care in VIC observed most positive cases did not exhibit respiratory illness symptoms, yet those who passed away from unrelated causes have COVID as cause of death, in accordance with a CHO directive. 2/

To the #IStandWithDan crowd. A Lancet study of 50 high COVID case countries found "full lockdowns, and a high rate of COVID-19 testing were not associated with statistically significant reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality". /3

To the #IStandWithDan crowd. Credible studies demonstrate that T-cell crossover immunity from colds and other SARS viruses bring us closer to the threshold requirement for achieving herd immunity, which Sweden is an example of, without any lockdowns. 4/

To the #IStandWithDan crowd. Despite having one of the oldest populations in the world, Japan's already good practices in aged care homes, along with a quick response to improve them further, resulted in a far smaller percentage of aged care deaths. 5/

To the #IStandWithDan crowd. In summary, the draconian restrictions and police powers we're enduring in Victoria are based on unreliably recorded test results, and on many recorded mortalities deliberately misattributed to COVID. /6

Put aside the Murdoch media and political leanings, and put aside identities. The incompetence of our state and federal governments resulted in small businesses being decimated, the economy that supports our health and welfare systems being devastated, and a massive debt. /7

Children's education suffered, and people's mental and physical health suffered. The message here is that there are more effective and less destructive methods of dealing with COVID. The government needs to be called out and questioned on this, not supported with a hashtag. 8/End
