Over 3,826 Health scientists and over 6,535 MDs sign Great Barrington Declaration proclaiming that low-risk individuals should be freed from COVID restrictions immediately.

Great Barrington Declaration
https://gbdeclaration.org/

As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.

Not done yet!!

To the SUPPOSED representatives of Victorians.

Many of you with whom I have spoken have stated plainly you have received more correspondence and communication from angry Victorians about the SOE and Omnibus bills than any other pieces of legislation in their respective political careers.

THAT IS BECAUSE VICTORIAN KNOW THESE ARE HORRIBLE AND UNDEMOCRATIC PROPOSALS THAT THE VAST AND OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF VICTORIANS REJECT.

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MANDATE FOR SUCH GROSSLY OVERREACHING POWERS.

IT IS THEREFORE INCUMBENT ON YOUR TO REFLECT THE WILL OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF VICTORIAN AND REJECT THIS BILL IN ITS ENTIRETY.

A fundamentally different approach to management of this virus is required and demanded by the overwhelming majority of Victorians. In my daily conversations with friends, family and colleagues I know NOBODY still in support of these insane and disproportionate restrictions.

Search and seizure without warrants, powers of PSO's and Police to "order... actions" and powers of interrogation, all on some flimsy basis of reducing "risk to public health", are all frankly disgusting.

There are many comprehensive plans (like the state government's original plan), and alternatives such as those described below that do not need ANY of these totalitarian measures proposed:
https://covidmedicalnetwork.com/ and
https://gbdeclaration.org/

The only acceptable vote on this omnibus bill is NO!!!!!

There is no context in which it's acceptable to include such powers. The labour party of Victoria has lost the plot, and the faith, and trust, from the Victorian community and we do not trust ANY more claimed powers, or their judgement of what is "SAFE" or unsafe for us.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO is the only acceptable vote.

There is only so much accountability people can extract from a foreign institution far, far away from the peoples clutches.

CDC: 85% of COVID-19 patients report ‘always’ or ‘often’ wearing a mask
Americans are wearing masks, but masks aren't working.

https://jordanschachtel.substack.com/p/cdc-85-of-covid-19-patients-report

“The CDC study, which surveyed symptomatic COVID-19 patients, has found that 70.6% of respondents reported “always” wearing a mask, while an additional 14.4% say they “often” wear a mask. That means a whopping 85% of infected COVID-19 patients reported habitual mask wearing. Only 3.9% of those infected said they “never” wear a face covering.”

Longterm Care Residents In Greeley Protest COVID-19 Restrictions
https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/10/09/nursing-home-residents-greeley-protest-covid-19-restrictions/

"Residents at nursing and rehabilitation facility in Greeley organized a protest against Colorado’s coronavirus restrictions. On Thursday, about 20 residents gathered outside Fairacres Manor, many in wheelchairs, holding signs that read “Rather die from COVID than loneliness,” and “Prisoners in our own home,” and “Give us freedom.”"

To combat coronavirus we need intense social intimacy!! 😉

https://www.instagram.com/p/CGO3TGsjdqY/

“In a Carnegie Mellon University study of over 400 adults, researchers found that hugging may reduce the chances of illness. The research found associations between interpersonal stress, social support and hugs with both infection and illness signs. They looked at immune processes involved in preventing infection in response to other viral pathogens as they relate to stress, support and hugs. Those with a greater support system had less severe symptoms when they did get sick. For those perceiving low social support, more frequent interpersonal tension/conflict was associated with an increased probability of infection subsequent to viral exposure!!“

Ooops!

Positive association between COVID-19 deaths and influenza vaccination rates in elderly people worldwide

“Previous reports indicate that influenza vaccination appears to be negatively correlated with COVID-19-associated mortality, perhaps as a result of heterologous immunity or changes in innate immunity.”

'Health Minister Olivier Véran and the director of the national health agency, Jérôme Salomon, are among those whose properties were searched on Thursday.

It has faced criticism over shortages of equipment and slow response times.

Prime Minister Jean Castex is also under investigation, French media report, as is his predecessor Edouard Philippe and Mr Véran's predecessor Agnès Buzyn.'
