#LongTermCOVID – Pay no attention to the mad fear mongers!

I’ll compile more info as time permits. Now that the pandemic is conclusively NOWHERE in the range of Spanish flu, Chicken Littles are now crying that there are long term effects. Pay not attention to them. They are exaggerating as usual. Even in ordinary flu there a few long term cases. Half of the NBA […]

PUBLIC HEALTH TERRORISM: Additional suicides, self-harm, cancer and heart deaths from lockdowns

This is an ongoing record (in my few spare moments) of the outcomes of public health terrorism: the killing and harming of additional people in the name of protecting us from an Act of Nature. The data are slowly coming in. Not yet in. I expect fuller info will be available in a year. THE […]

Thomas Szasz’s argument against licensing doctors

I mentioned Friedman’s argument against licensing doctors here. And two of Adam Smith’s arguments here and here. Here is Thomas Szasz’s argument: EXTRACT FROM “THE THEOLOGY OF MEDICINE” KURTZ: Your point, then, is that the state should not license doctors. SzAsz: Certainly not. The licensing of doctors is the symbol of what I am talking […]

Message received from a registered nurse in Victoria. TOTAL COMMUNISM IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM.

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN VICTORIA. A HEALTH SYSTEM DISASTER. EXTRACT. My annotations in blue. [Re: the nurse – in his own words: “I work in emergency. I wish you to understand that I am professional, I am qualified, and I am experienced. I possess degrees in community health, health services administration, and nursing. I […]

The problem with Brett Sutton, Victoria’s Chief Health Officer – 2

After the first post, I’ve now got a moment to bring together some of my key tweets to the health officer. The problem is that he MASSIVELY EXAGGERATES the lethality of this virus and DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING -at least some of the “health” mandates he is imposing have NO BASIS in health […]

The problem with Brett Sutton, Victoria’s Chief Health Officer – 1

I have made a number of comments/suggestions to Brett Sutton. His lack of responsiveness to my questions set me off on a publicly critical path against this Labor government in Victoria – when then meant I had to resign. I’ll compile my tweets to Sutton separately, later (that’s why this is #1). I want to […]

Have resigned my Victorian public service role as economist

I worked in the Department of Treasury and Finance as a professional economist for 15 years, but the constraints on free speech as public servant were preventing me from expressing my opposition to the police state we now have in Victoria. To protest, I resigned on 9 September 2020. The resignation was accepted and fully […]

The brilliant Nina Jablonski’s lifetime work on the human skin – its colour, its function

In 2010 I wrote about how Vitamin D explains skin colour. And also wrote about Nina Jablonski’s work here. Recently, via Youtube’s random recommendations (possibly because I searched for Vitamin D and covid) I came across the more recent work and talks of Nina Jablonski. Her work is extremely important – I believe everyone should […]

The science is ENTIRELY AGAINST society-wide lockdowns

I’ve written a lot on this blog (and on my TOI blog) against lockdowns. There’s also a LOT of scientific evidence against this idea. I’m compiling a few tweets for ready reference. A search of Google Trends confirms that the use of lockdowns in pandemics was NEVER *EVER* IMAGINED before the Wuhan lockdown. NEVER has […]
