What do you think of the notion that it's a bit of both, germs and terrain? Germs exist and can do stuff, but terrain largely determines the outcome? So under that conceptualisation, an appropriate public health response to a *new germ* would be to immediately address terrain.
I don’t find “no virus” to be a helpful framing. Clearly there are biological entities that can cause harm, particularly if they are injected. I personally think what we call “viruses” are created by the body as an adaptive response to increased toxicity. So a PCR test is simply testing for an increase in a helpful endogenous entity, but demonising it as an excuse to introduce more toxicity
Ok I understand that. I have not delved deep enough into the issue to decide if I agree with you or not 😆 I assume what we can both agree on though is that terrain was entirely ignored in the pandemic response, and that led to much suffering and probably death.
I agree with Rebekah. There's a bit of both theories but In find the terrain theory to be somewhat extreme. Certainly bodily health is a very important factor in our overall health. I would be interested to understand more about what your mean by "the ridiculously biophobic form" in germ theory. It's all biology, after all.
The biophobia is in the framing and the language. The premise of germ theory is that nature is out to get us: we can only survive its persistent and relentlessly evolving attacks on us through the help of $cience. “Viruses” aren’t neutral: they actively “infect” us by invading and then essentially colonising our bodies (which is why I like to equate germ theory to Zionism of the human body). It conditions us to irrationally blame without evidence a new microorganism every time a slightly novel form of illness emerges, and gives no credit to the human body that the “illness” might actually be an intelligent detoxification process.
And we still haven't seen the details of the contracts signed for this massive (and useless, dangerous) investment. Disturbingly, a change of government had no effect, so a pox on both their houses.
"Australia really participated in a bigger trend that we've seen worldwide of wealthy countries buying up far more doses of COVID-19 vaccines than they needed..."
With our penchant for panic buying of toilet paper, I hope we don't have a diahorrea epidemic...🥴
I'd love to know how many of the doses 'gifted' as foreign aid were used. The absurd position of Prof Gleeson assumes these countries actually wanted them. The reported vax rates in many developing countries suggest they didn't. And like a previous commentor pointed out, these same countries are seemingly much better off for that.
My guess is not a lot. Especially considering how many were offered to COVAX (16.8m) vs. how many actually end up being donated (14,400). It looks like demand is loooowwwww.
“Australia has offered a further 16.8 million doses to the COVAX Facility for distribution to participating developed and developing countries. Of the 755,200 doses that were accepted by the COVAX Facility, 14,400 have been donated.”
No wonder big harma is making so much $. We (over) pay them to make vaccines which do not work for a ‘virus’ which may not exist! What a dilemma for the poor old Department of Health when the next ‘pandamic’ arrives. How much should we buy this time???
That is scary. A national guard made up of civilians with powers to enforce health restrictions. even on 'suspected' civilians. The neighborhood bullies would love it!

Germ theory remains undefeated as the world's largest money-laundering scheme
Pharma dollar has replaced the Petro dollar.
What does that even mean, Isaac? You don’t believe in “germs”?
Not in the ridiculously biophobic form that they are conceptualised in germ theory

You have failed to mention " feminine toxicity".... Everyone seems to have forgotten about girl germs... And they are the worst.
I’m surprised they haven’t come up with a Jibby jab for cooties yet…

Please can I wake tomorrow to news of a coup
As always 🙏
Better taxpayer value for money to bin than pin!

Let's hope not, Ian.
I should have read the footnotes more carefully! Thank you, Rebekah. Demand is low indeed.

And then they get indemnity for injuries 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
“Acceptable” to sales people who already made the sale. 🤪
This should sort out the problem-

Today's propaganda from "our" ABC .....
A new research study suggests the COVID-19 vaccine campaign prevented 17,760 deaths among NSW residents aged 50 years and over.
The study used computer modelling to predict the death toll if there had been zero vaccination before the 2021 Omicron wave.
What's next? Experts say the results should form part of an "important" assessment of the vaccine roll-out.
