1/ BE AMAZED! Come with me on a little journey into the bizarre. We are going to explore the Western Australian government's new "Don't Assume You're Immune" campaign to raise awareness of vaccination and see how long it takes to find a mention of COVID-19.
2/ Things start off promisingly enough with this email to all WA Health employees from the WA Director General of Health, an infectious disease physician. It says the campaign is in response to "inaccurate and false information regarding public health measures". OK, fair enough. Image
3/ Further down the email, we hear how passionate Dr Bowen is about helping people take action to keep safe and encouraging us to keep up to date with our immunisations. Here, we find two links to the new immunisation website.

This is looking promising, isn't it? Image
4/ We click through to the new immunisation website. There, our hearts beating furiously in our chests, we click on the link which takes us to "Diseases that vaccines protect us against".

Things are still going well!

Image
5/ But, lo! When we click on the link to the page of "Diseases that vaccines protect us against", we do not find COVID-19. We look for him here. We look for him there. But we do not find him anywhere! 🤷

immunisation.health.wa.gov.au/diseases-vacci…
Image
6/ Resourceful fellows that we are, however, we are not dismayed, and we go to the menu at the top right and click on that, which takes us to another menu page.

Here, we click on the menu item "Immunisation programs and schedules". Seems sensible, yes?

immunisation.health.wa.gov.au/diseases-vacci…
Image
7/ This takes us to another page, which looks like this. We scratch our heads and scroll down... Image
8/ ... which brings us to this. We click on 'Adult immunisation schedule', for here, surely we will find the information we seek about COVID-19 immunisation? Surely! Image
9/ But no! Now, despite ourselves, we are becoming dismayed. For we do not find any mention of COVID-19 in the Adult immunisation schedule.

Image
10/ Not even when we scroll right to... Image
11/ ... the bottom of the page! Image
12/ Gathering ourselves, we scroll back up to the top of the page and accept the option to "Read more about immunisations at the Australian Department of Health website (external site)." Image
13/ Here, at last, we will surely find the information we seek about COVID-19 vaccination!

And yes, even though this link takes us rather oddly to an 'Immunisation for adolescents' page, a flicker of hope arises as we spot the opportunity to click on a COVID-19 vaccination page Image
14/ Click on it we do, and find ourselves on an 'Immunisation resources' page with entries posted by date. Nothing here is specific to COVID-19, but we start scrolling
...and scrolling
...and scrolling Image
15/ ...and scrolling. Until, on the TWENTY FIFTH ITEM, we possibly find what we are looking for, in the form of the opportunity to download a pdf of an infographic on 'When to get your COVID vaccination'. Image
16/ With trembling hands, we click on the link, open the pdf file with Adobe Acrobat and THERE IT IS! Image
17/ I don't even think this is deliberate, because that would require an absurd level of conspiracy. I think this is the expression of a collective denial, a need to forget, to negate the very existence of this beast which threatened to rob us completely of the status quo.
18/ As COVID-19 continues to ravage the world in so many ways, causing suffering, death and chaos, I don't really know how to respond. It is all so very odd.🤷‍♂️
19/ Oh yes, and I forgot. Try searching for 'COVID' on the new immunisation website and this is what you get:

"Search results for 'covid'
We found 0 results that matched your search" Image
20/ And if we search on 'COVID-19', we get one result, which, if we click on it, it takes us back to... Image
21/ ...tweet number 7 in this thread, where we re-enter the useless loop of oblivion.

22/ As ever, the absurdity of life cannot be better expressed than it is in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Image

1/ TIMELINE 2019, OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
"There will shortly be the worst global pandemic in 100 years, where a novel virus will kill tens of millions and bring the world to a standstill.
abc.net.au/news/2024-07-0…
2/ It will cause lifespans to fall across the world for the first time in 50 years. Not only will it continue to kill millions for years, but excess deaths will remain elevated, indicating it continues to cause damage far beyond its direct, acute effects.
3/ Within two years of this ferocious pandemic's onset, we will tell you that the infectious agent has now morphed into a 'harmless cold' and that, not only is it harmless for your children to be reinfected twice a year, every year, in perpetuity, but...

1/ This is stunning. It isn't just that a high indoor CO2 level represents a poorly ventilated space, but that raised levels of CO2 (from as little as 800ppm) slow down the rate at which SARS-COV-2 decays. At 3000ppm, the effect is dramatically magnified. Watch the video:
2/ By 3000ppm of indoor CO2, about 30% of the virus stops decaying at all. Can you imagine what this means for a school bus, where CO2 levels can reach 9,000ppm?! This helps explain why there is so much mass infection on the way to and from school camps.
3/ In summary, a high indoor CO2 level does not just signify poor standards of ventilation and that you are rebreathing large amounts of other people's air. It also signifies air which is 'friendly' to the virus and keeps it alive and capable of infecting people for longer.

1/ I don't know about the rest of you proles, but I'm staying away from this frickin' virus as much as I possibly can. Nothing - repeat NOTHING - I have seen in clinical practice or the scientific literature in the past four years makes me think repeated infection is 'fine'.
2/ At no point have I thought, "Oh, this is great! It's a total nothingburger, after all! THE EVIDENCE IS IN! LET'S PARTY!"
3/ And, just to restate a point I have made many times. I am what many would call 'adventurous', a risk taker, even. This is my 2019 flight in a single engine plane from the US to Australia, across the Atlantic and the whole of Russia. 👇

1/ Why, indeed? Thousands of patients are catching COVID in Australian hospitals. It kills 10% of them. This is due to a basic LACK OF INFECTION CONTROL. As @drajm says in this outstanding article, this is shaping up to be the Robodebt scandal of medicine.

2/ People catching COVID in hospitals is the ROBODEBT SCANDAL OF MEDICINE 👇

3/ If you are in hospital, you are, by definition, 'vulnerable'. Failing to safeguard patients from catching COVID kills them. This is a FACT. Australian health authorities may choose to try and ignore it, but THE FACT remains.

1/ In medical school, back in the eighties, our teachers were at pains to make us understand that deaths from infectious disease were already in massive decline before the onset of mass immunisation.

sciencedirect.com/topics/medicin…

2/ We were taught that vaccination was only the final layer of a multi-layered public health strategy.

3/ People need to understand just how aberrant, not only the present 'vax and relax' notion is, but the notion of 'get infected to prevent infection', of 'infection-derived herd immunity'.
