1. If you say you don’t wanna scrap #COVID19 protections because they’re annoying: well, road safety rules are also annoying.

2. If you say you don’t wanna scrap ‘em because Australia can’t afford it: well, we spend hundreds of billions on obsolete submarines & affords those.

3. If you say it’s because people hate #COVID19 restrictions: well, they don’t like bans on taking bottled liquids & nail scissors on planes, either.

4. If you say it’s because COVID is “just a flu”: well, there’s no flu that kills from heart attacks & strokes for months after.

5. If you say it’s because there’s no point protecting ppl from disease: well, we’ve MASSIVE health & border control programs to protect from many other diseases.

6. If you say it’s because we have vaxxes: well, they don’t protect much from repeat infection, & immunity’s waning.

7. If you say it’s because many have immunity from prior infection: yes, but this immunity doesn’t last long; each repeat infection increases the risk of #LongCovid & other health issues; & this doesn’t take new, more dangerous strains into account.

8. If you say it’s because we have to treat #COVID19 as part of normal life now: well, “normal life” has never before included the death of tens of thousands of disabled, sick & elderly people from preventable disease with no media attention or government concern.

9. If you say it’s because lockdowns and border closures are too hard: well, maybe they are, but there are dozens of other interventions which would cost less to implement than the coming tsunami of death & avoidable destruction of people’s lives.

10. If you say it’s because big business & the wealthy want everything open & they fund both our governments & our media who therefore do exactly what they’re told to keep hold of the power & influence they all live for: well, you’d be EXACTLY FUCKING RIGHT.
