Beautifully written. Your turns of phrase remind me of Anthony Trollope’s style. I love the cartoon.
I suspect you’d have a lot in common with Sanjeev Sahblok ? from Victoria.
I have not read the Conversation at all for many years, but I was curious as to whether there is any pushback in the comments to these articles ? There is at least one immunologist who has called out the jabs as iffy, Dr Robert Clancy if I recall correctly and as an academic, is permitted to comment.
I subscribe to the UK Telegraph, and whilst there are zero articles on the safety of the vaccines, they have a pretty good commenting policy, in that most things appear to get through. Sometimes I wonder if this is their tacit way of getting the story out. As well as many being very amusing.
Kudus to the Telegraph for at least exposing the egregious harms caused by the lockdowns for defending their citizen’s right to choose.
Wow, Anthony Trollope! I’m honoured and flattered.
Sanjeev Sahblok is definitely worth reading for his former-government-insider‘s, principled opposition to all the Covid lunacy.
Pushback in The Conversation’s Comments section? Once in a blue moon some intrepid soul has a go at the above-the-line consensus and the reaction is a pile-on of fury and polemic that suggests any BTL intellectual dissident has struck a lot of raw nerves. For all the rest of the commenters, their level of debate amounts to disagreements over whether Coke or Pepsi is better rather than departing from the acceptable limits of debate by suggesting that all carbonated, sugary, teeth-rotting drinks are the problem. It’s Groupthink in the ascendancy downstairs.
Robert Clancy is, indeed, a jab sceptic and has done some sterling work in print without being ‘cancelled’ (yet).

Worth repeating: Beautifully written. (Reminds me of Jack Vance for some reason.)

Thanks, Christian.
