1/ Bill, l #Australia is NOT "the answer" to the next #pandemic if all countries responded the same

#disease, #poverty, #child dev dont go on vacation for a #pandemic. All of these will always lead to > death than the pandemic if Australian measures are enacted

We'll explain...
2/

1) #UNICEF has >500M in severe poverty due to measures advocated by you and #Australia and NZ. 1:10 will die from severe poverty

Conservatively, that is > 10M deaths. & If all had done that millions more would die for just poverty

And #children die the most from poverty
3/
2) 15M #cancer #patients need #Treatments. Over 50% aren't compliant & new diagnoses are down ~70%

Combined, we have ensured from #COVID19 measures the deaths of 5-10M cancer patients, conservatively

Those #s increase with a global #Australian / NZ response
4/

3) people with #RareDiseases and #disabilities that rely on hospice died due to measures and supply chain shortage

#COVID19 #Mandates also caused the deaths of many from #diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and others who required surgery to die
5/

4) #children were never given a voice during the #COVID19 #pandemic except in #Sweden

Millions suffer from disproportionate > in #DomesticAbuse due to #mandates, poverty, development delay, & #Mentalhealth problems

#publichealth ignored children & used them as scapegoats
6/
In summary, your opinion that all need to respond like #Australia & NZ is medically myopic & irrevocably leads to more deaths, inequality, suffering & poverty than a #pandemic would ever cause

It ignores #publichealth best practices & #UN convention for #children's rights
