My forthcoming book’s message in a nutshell – from the DRAFT manuscript
This book’s message in a nutshell The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is not a once in a 100 year event but is closer to a once in 30 years event. My ballpark estimate is that it is at least 50 times less lethal than Spanish flu, and likely up to 100 times less lethal. Further, […]

Source of the data that I’m using to estimate scaled up pandemic deaths today for Spanish, Asian and Hong Kong flu

An email received from a fellow sufferer of Daniel Andrews’s disastrous policies
EXTRACT FROM EMAIL RECEIVED. CONTAINS MANY GOOD POINTS. I’VE QUICKLY HIGHLIGHTED A FEW. Thanks for being a strong voice in opposition to the destruction the Andrews government is causing with the longest lockdown in the world. As a parent I am so concerned for the long term effects on children in particular whose lives are […]

Epidemiology can’t be even remotely called a science. My Tweets over 6 months.
I started with a reasonably neutral position regarding epidemiology a few months ago but by now I can’t think of one good word to say about this “discipline”. Some of my Tweets over the months, below: FARR'S LAW: "every epidemiologist … ignores the most basic rule in epidemiology called Farr’s Law (dating to 1840 and […]

The cheapest and readily available vaccine for covid19 is available right in front of our nose
To find out more about how cross-reactivity helps us fight covid19, see: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/b... and https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/b... And these are a few of my tweets. Getting people to get a harmless coronavirus (common cold) would be similar to what Edward Jenner did with cow pox to protect against smallpox. Given India's amazing experience (where everyone catches the cold […]

Daniel Andrews’s double speak: Staying apart keeps us together
My two tweets and the short video I made: In this 11 August 2020 tweet I compared this Victorian government slogan with doublespeak slogans in Orwell's "1984". The resemblance is uncanny. This slogan has not stopped, leaving me with no option but to resign on 9 September. Liberty is never given on a platter. https://t.co/yj3il53C9t […]
