Just found your substack. I’ve seen some of your comments on other substacks but didn’t realize you were Australian till this morning. Thought I’d check out you substack and see what you had to say. I like it. I especially liked your song in the style of Jimmy Barnes/Cold Chisel. 😂
Looking at those lockdown-induced -ve excess deaths in 2020 just proves they were simply kicking the death can down the road.
When you consider the other long-term debacles this is going to induce, like kids being social stunted, small business and state budgets down the toilet, immune naivety increased, increases in Alzheimer deaths, general morale plummeting, etc, etc, it's revolting. Utterly despicable.
Yep. They look to have just kicked the can down the road. I think the need to be seen to be doing something outweighed common sense and previous pandemic planning. I don’t really want to be too hard on the government in that regard. They couldn’t win either way. If they did nothing they’d get blamed for “lacking leadership”. However, when it became obvious their course of action was not working they should have stopped instead of doubling down and attacking any criticism as “mis/disinformation”.
Alzheimer’s deaths never really crossed my mind till recently, I’d just thought it was due to almost all the excess deaths being in the oldest age groups but Andrew Madry’s article the other day has got me thinking about it more deeply.
Interesting article in Spectator Australia which shows comparisons using a different baseline.
"Pandemic survivors and the silent victims of excess mortality"

There is no argument from anyone that excess death are very high but no one seems to want to get to the bottom of it. So the cause remains a mystery.

Laconic writer with math chops and atrocious grammar. Good man. Thanks for the support, I see your likes.

Hey thanks. It is nice to discover Aussies with similar takes on this rubbish.

Sorry yes, I meant dementia, not Alzheimers.
My reading said if you have a routine and people you know visiting often, you live. Remove the routine and the people and your brain just packs it in.
Lockdowns = dementia democide
"Note the synchronous onset of Omicron at the end of the year in the counties graphed, it must have traveled at the speed of science"
the speed of deliberate catch n release?
Helpful, thank you!
