An Australian reader explains the near-total blackout on real news Down Under - and how government-fed media propaganda has turned elections there inside out.
Alex! I am a US citizen and elderly. We (husband and I) have elected not to take vaccine. We continue to stay informed by reading your information and others. Keep it coming. Pertaining to this subject matter of the elderly being super afraid, I can testify that, in my circle, we are loners. Most have taken vaccine and are quick to admonish us for not taking it.
I believe low interest in origin of the virus is because we all know it came from the Wuhan Lab. I'd like to see more on what we are going to do about it.
Never thought about it this way but his is the truth. My father in law who is accountant and a republican, is big supporter of the vaccine and the lockdowns. I can't believe it honestly. But he is 65 and close to being obese. So the virus is dangerous to him. And I guess he has a big fear of dying. Typical boomer. He has lived a great life and probably should focus on his grandson not growing up in a 1984/brave new world. But I guess he wants to keep playing golf and fish. But I guess that is the way of today world. A whole generation afraid of death even when they have lived a healthy 60+ years. Sacrifice the young so I can keep living my blessed life. Just pure selfishness in today's society.
Alex, I’m also from Australia, my wife and I are both health professionals, ages 75, and we won’t get the jab even though it will drastically curtail our lifestyle. We have travelled internationally every year. That is all gone unless a miracle happens.
The big problem is that most doctors, and mainly the young ones, have bought into this vaccination fiasco, even rushing to get their kids jabbed. They have no critical thinking; they operate based on protocols. As Dr Peter McCullough says, they are “in a trance”. They don’t even understand the basic science of virology. Ultimately, the only victims in this debacle are members of the public.
If I could leave Australia, I would do so in a heartbeat. This is not the country that I came to 41 years ago. The “lucky country” which was a term coined in a 1960’s book about Australia, is no more. Our luck has run out.
I listened to Joe Rogan interviewing Amanda Knox the other day. I thought it was interesting for a number of reasons but one thing stood out to me. They had a brief discussion about Covid and the vaccine and Knox commented about how vaccines just give you a small dose of a dead virus to induce an immune response. Rogan said "not this vaccine." And Knox was sort of stunned. She had no idea that this vaccine worked any differently than any other vaccine.
It wasn't until I heard her say that that it occurred to me that I bet MOST people think this vaccine is just like all the other vaccines that most of us have been given. So of course, it doesn't make sense to most people why so many others would resist taking the vaccine. Most people think that this vaccine is just as safe as all the vaccines most of us have taken our whole lives - and that it will stop the spread of the virus - just like the measles vaccine stops the spread of measles.
Once you understand that most of the public is so misled about this vaccine then you can understand their anger at the unvaccinated and the public's tolerance of things like vaccine passports and mandates.
The mainstream media is acting as the propaganda arm of the government/Democrat Party. Fortunately it is still possible to get accurate information via the Internet. It is possible to go around the Big Tech companies that are doing what they can to suppress discussion and information sharing. Thankfully content producers and providers, and investigators such as Alex Berenson are able to create their own platforms to get the information out.
I try to stay informed. It is frightening to realize how the LIE quickly permeates the public consciousness and crowds out any consideration for TRUTH or even skepticism.
There is a reason that many people who subscribe to your Substack feed are not particularly interested in the origins of the virus. It is because many/most of us believe the virus escaped from the Wuhan Virology Lab. Many of us believe Dr. Fauci authorized the research at the Wuhan Lab and found a way to fund it directly through the NIH budget and possibly with grants as well.
Naomi Wolf was interviewed by Tucker Carlson on Foxnation.com. She described how her husband, an investigator, discovered primary source material that the original gain of function research began at UNC. When it became public, it was moved to Wuhan because that kind of research is illegal in the USA.
The weekend before St. Patrick’s Day this year, our father (to me and my 4 siblings, all in our late 50’s - early 60’s, who are not ‘anti-vaxxers’ in general, only to this EUA madness and rush to judgement vaccination government protocol) received the 2nd dose of Moderna mRNA shot.
He was 87yrs strong and from my understanding the second jab is the more ‘toxic’ shot than the first. After the first shot in the arm he had relatively no side effects, other than a soreness around the injection site of his arm and he slept quite a bit more afterward.
Approximately one week before his second shot, he scheduled a physical exam with his doctor just to be sure he was in good health to receive the 2nd shot. Doc gave him a clean bill of health and approval to get the jab.
He rec’d his 2nd shot on a Saturday and on the following Monday a picture came to my phone... something did not look right with his eyes, the iris and pupil were very dark and hard to differentiate, almost as if they had congealed and blended. It was strange and I discerned a not-so- healthy disposition in his facial appearance. But, putting the thot aside, I reasoned that perhaps it was a bad picture day and did not think much more of it. Only to purpose and get to him sooner than later for a visit. So I cleared my schedule to make a visit on Weds, St Pat’s Day.
He was fine! The clarity in his eyes came back, his appearance was good and he stated he was feeling well, other than the soreness in the arm and more sleepish-ness than normal. He even gave us a limerick that my sweetheart dutifully captured on video that fine day for the family to enjoy.
Dad loved a good limerick and would repeat it as many times as he would be asked if it still carried a hint of interest or laughter, even from the most cynical crowd. He was always presenting humor within our fragmented family and gatherings just to feather the edges of discord or make light of a particularly uncomfortable conversation.
An avid WWII History buff, most everyone gained from his ability to blend humor into social circles just to keep conversations from going to the outer fringes of bullshit. He was an artist in this way and we all loved him for it…but I digress.
The following Monday morning the call that you don’t want to receive, came... “Your father has passed. He was found in the bathroom, apparently having been in the midst of throwing-up early in the AM.”
Prior to removing his body, my brother pulled back the sheet to observe dad and quickly recovered his face. He turned to me and said, “If you have a good memory of Dad, you don’t want to look!”
We all know dead bodies are not for the faint of heart or feeble-minded to observe (of which I am neither and maintain a fairly strong stomach for such images) in general. No one else in the room held their curiosity after that statement!
My brother told us sib’s later that of the few deaths he has been present to observe, this was by far the most haunting to him.
I believe with every fiber of my being that this 2nd shot killed Dad. Both the first responder EMT’s and the physician of record stated that an autopsy was not warranted! That the cause of death was most likely related to a cardio-pulmonary event while heaving in the bathroom… even in the middle of a pandemic and being within the incubation period of 7-10 days for the spike protein to work its magic in the body after the jab. No autopsy required unless their is suspicion of foul play!
Foul play, foul play… Should we not be paying closer attention to effects of morbidity especially within several days of receiving a very contradictory vaccine? Have our checks and balances on medical procedures gone full-tilt!?
Officially we will never know IF the mother-of-all-jabs wreaked havoc within his body and vital organs.
We will never know the actual cause of death and whether the vaccine had anything to do with it. This will be recorded as a foreseeable and normal expiration by virtue of age… wow!
Have we lost all sense to the sacred essence of life? Good lord, where are we headed!?
This was another topic that I wanted to mention for Alex to cover here, the protests against any & all mandates in other countries. I have been seeing from other sources that protests have been going on in France for 2 months every weekend and they don't get covered. Also, many other European countries have been holding mandate protests with only scant coverage via social media folks who have access to videos and sizes of the protesting crowds. We in the U.S. need to know that people are standing up all over the world and the world is trying to squash them. We may turn out the same way if people don't stand firm.
Although the origins are important, I think we all know where it came from and how Fauci and company provided the funding. Whether it was released purposefully or accidentally is less important than the end result. I’m 66, my wife is 65. No vax for us. Never. In late January 2020 I emailed my 95 year old father who asked me my opinion on the “China virus.” My answer was short and sweet. “Dad, I smell a rat.” There are millions of us who knew from the very first moment that something was off. My wife got very sick in January 2020. Day 4 with her temp at 104 and O2 at 94 we went to ER. They tested for flu, strep, and a few other things. All negative. They wanted to keep her overnight. Instead we asked for IV fluids and some low flow nasal cannula. Took her home after 4 hours, during which time I did some research. Put her on D, C, zinc and Quercetin. It took 10 more days to totally get rid of the fever and another two weeks to recover. 18 months later she still has issues with her voice. Otherwise she’s fine. There is no doubt in our minds, or her doctors, that she had it. Long before it became a “thing.”
Three days before she became ill we had spent a day at an aquarium in NC. Visiting the aquarium that day were two bus loads of tourists. From China. Go figure.
As an Australian, living in Australia, I can confirm that your Australian reader is spot on with his report. I've elderly parents who saturate themselves in the mainstream media that is continually spewing out the propaganda with completely distorted reporting on protests (if they do at all), no mention of anything hopeful happening overseas, nothing about vaccine injuries, actually not much other news at all except to push the vaccine rollout.
However, even my parents and their network of friends, in their 80s and not plugged into alternative news sources, are starting to wonder what the hell is going on and questioning the narrative.
I am, however, plugged into what can only be described as an underground network of "rebels" who ignore mainstream media and share stories from health, legal, emergency service, and government professionals who are telling it as it is - almost like a parallel culture/society. I don't know how big this network is as, from my perspective, we are like "cells" of people all connected to other cells in a vast decentralized network. Is the network big enough to make a change politically? No idea. But I do know there are pockets of this underground resistance (that's what it feels like) that are very well organised, have a groundswell of support, and they give me hope.
If it is true that mass vaccinations are fueling more virulent variants, things will get much worse. For many this seems illogical. It would seem putting pressure on virus would be a good thing, but not with leaky vaccine which apparently few understand. This is not a polio vaccine. The vaccine is weak, meaning virus can mutate and resist vaccine which is what we will continue to see. Also vaccine like flu vaccine just protects a short time. I am seriously bothered by quick rise of cases right after vaccinations. Seem to happen over and over again. Leads me to think that person’s immune system has been weakened, altered, to allow virus to easily invade cells. Also scientist says sequencing combination never seen before suggesting lab tweaking has made this virus act differently.
My point is the virus is going nowhere. Whether a person is vaccinated or unvaccinated, the virus will resist vaccines and infect those not already infected. It is crazy to think all of us have not come in contact with virus many times. Our immune system did its job. We have not cured the common cold, flu and this COVD will not be cured either.
Family members of mine are all vaccinated and terrified. I had to step away from family. Too toxic. Sad. Not surprised. A best friend from when I was a young girl is equally nuts now. She loved Cuomo. I had to let her go. I warned her about Biden. She loved him. Another obese man I know, again a republican, loves Biden. He was a cop. Terrified of dying but smokes and over eats and talks non stop about poor health.
Yes the boomers are terrified of dying. When I tell people we all have cancer cells, they do not believe. They hate that I did not do,chemo, radiation drugs, etc. Boomers love their pills and yes big pharma. My oncologist said people my age, 69, take at least 7 drugs a day. See the dependency.
I see now that Pfizer is developing pill like horse paste to treat virus. Hmmm. They can charge a lot more. Call it a different name. Same stuff.
I live in Australia I totally concur with this very accurate, insightful and perceptive description of the media here. I also want to thank you Alex, you were a shining light in a sea of darkness on Twitter. I am so grateful that you continue to report the truth. I am nearly 50 with seven children, I am old and worn out. The totalitarian government and the media censorship scares me a lot. Trying to protect my children and family is an exhausting task these days. So when I say I am grateful for your reporting, I truly mean it! It is people like you, that will and I believe we will; bring back some sense of sanity to the world. They can’t hide the truth forever.
I am close to 70 and I have chosen not to be vaccinated. As a result I have not seen my grandchildren in almost 2 years. I too feel like a lone wolf often but I am so firmly convinced that we are being duped into believing this COVID narrative being played out, that I am firmly planted in my beliefs which are based on research and common sense. My husband had COVID and will not be vaccinated because he has natural immunity. Common sense, right???
I believe standing firmly in our God given freedom of choice is the truest example of what freedom means to our children and grandchildren. The truth will shine through. I don’t know when but I believe that it will. Those who don’t understand will when that truth shines through. Stand firm!!! Do not cave because it is easier. We need strength and encouragement from each other. And I am truly thankful for this forum. Thanks Alex.

Middle aged women that love totalitarians. 😆 It’s so true. Feminism replaced the a husband with husband-government.
Propaganda, like, NY Governor Kathy Hochul telling me that Jesus wants me to get the vaccine.
🤫🤫Does Jesus know that her daughter-in-law is a Big Pharma lobbyist?🤫🤫

Watched this video this morning. It is the truth about the virus.
