COVID-19 “Science” Questions ? How did computer geek Bill Gates become the world health czar, who decided every person on the planet must be “vaccinated” and be given a unique identification number? Did Dr. Anthony Fauci write an article printed in the Washington Post during 2011 which advocated for “Gain-of-Function” research in viruses? Did Fauci say it was a risk worth taking? Did Dr. Ralph Baric at UNC Chapel Hill perform “Gain-of-Function” research on Corona viruses? Why did N.C. Governor Roy Cooper tell pharmacists not to fill prescriptions for Hydroxychloroquine, even though it was prescribed by medical doctors in that state? Did this order lead to any deaths? If there was no “vaccine” for the 1918 Spanish Influenza virus, how did that pandemic end? Did a recent Israeli study conclude natural immunity produced by recovery from a COVID-19 infection is thirteen times better than that produced by the shots now being promoted in the U.S. ? Are less than 1% of the “vaccine” injuries being recorded by the VAERS system? Are many of those with injuries being ignored? If Dr. Anthony Fauci is the official source of “Science” which is not to be questioned, why did he change his story about the need to wear masks? How much of the Bill of Rights found in the U.S. Constitution has been ignored during the last two years? The answers to many of these questions are found in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book “The Real Anthony Fauci, [Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Heath]”.
We are fine. We got paid to save lives. Those 20 people would have got jobkeeper if the cafe had his staff on the books. The guy who spoke after is an antivax.
They are still at it here in Australia, our Medical Dr. IN New South Wales told us on TV we are now in the hands of the One World Order. OH Yes and guess what? Most Australians had such a fantastic life that they do not even know what the One World Order is. United Nations and the European Union.

I'm from the USA. I've always thought of going to Australia at some point in my life. Think it's a very interesting country. I'm totally stunned at how this countries offices have treated there people! I feel for the people of Australia. I will never step foot in that country and I'm sure others have the same feeling I'm sure. "The cost of freedom may be high, but never so costly as the lost of FREEDOM!" Ronald Reagan
Ray Sanders Don’t believe everything the media tells you, we are like every other country, we have the freedom to move around. I feel for your country during the Karen pandemic & shootings. USA sounds like a modern day Western.
@@soulsphere9242 Oops, I forgot to respond... I'm not gonna get into the details about lock downs much as these kind of debates get tedious, but if you think you wouldn't want to be an American because "American healthcare bad," I have to counter that by honestly stating that our health care systems is actually one of the best. Pandemic or not. Many people only say it's bad because of the expense in it, but listen to this: America’s medical system was, in some ways, better prepared for a pandemic than other nations. While we have a relatively low physician-to-population ratio, and fewer total hospital beds per capita than other comparable countries, the U.S. is home to more ICU beds per capita than any other nation, according to an analysis of 2012 data. Perhaps this is because we are used to treating a relatively unhealthy and overweight population, a population at higher risk for a COVID-19 (which is about 30% of our population). Ironically, our healthcare system enables that 30% to live longer and better lives in spite of their comorbidities, chronic conditions, and poor lifestyle choices. From the outside, the lack of 30% of Americans' health might reflect poorly on our healthcare system, but it is exactly because of the high quality of care available in the U.S. that so many Americans can afford to live in the unhealthy way that they can. Similarly, the U.S. uses a great deal more neonatal ICU care than other industrialized countries. But you would not know it from our infant mortality rate, which is relatively high for two reasons: First, Americans carry high-risk pregnancies (e.g., to mothers who are teenage, obese, or of advanced maternal age) at a higher rate than other countries. And secondly, the U.S. counts more babies as live births who, due to prematurity or low birth weight, have little chance of survival. Ironically, our infant mortality rate suffers, because we make a greater effort to save every life. If you are about to deliver a baby, you would be fortunate to deliver in the U.S., where the baby will receive this high level of care. Despite our risk factors for COVID-19, despite the greater degree to which the coronavirus has spread in the U.S., and despite criticisms and conflict over our government’s response, the U.S. health system has done a phenomenal job at what it is supposed to do: keep patients alive. The U.S. has one of the world’s best COVID-19 survival rates, meaning if you are diagnosed with it, you would have a greater chance of survival here than in many other countries, including many of those that the WHO and others rank as having healthcare systems superior to our own. According to the latest CDC numbers, the U.S. survival rate for COVID-19 is 0.98. That means that if you are diagnosed with COVID, you have a 98% chance of not dying from the virus. Conversely, you face a mortality rate of nearly 2% (2.2). By contrast, the United Kingdom, another wealthy country, has a lower survival rate of 96%. The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center tracks the mortality rate (the inverse of the survival rate) for each country, and finds that the U.S. also performs better than Mexico (where the COVID-19 mortality rate is currently 10%), Italy (4%), the UK (4%), Belgium (3%), Sweden (3%), Canada (4%), China (5%), Spain (3%), and many other countries. Now, COVID-19 survival rates, even more so than survival rates for other illnesses, are plagued by confounding variables. A country could, as many suggest the U.S. has done, reach a rosier rate by simply testing more people, identifying more cases (many of which are mild or even asymptomatic), and counting those among the denominator. Indeed, the U.S. has experienced a higher caseload and greater spread of the virus than most other countries. The number of cases and the spread of the virus are reflections of many factors, including government policy, culture, and individual choices and behaviors. The medical system - our hospitals, doctors, and nurses - have little control over this, just as they have little control over the 30% of Americans that drive recklessly or are obese. While the spread of the virus (and testing response) has an effect on the mortality numbers, it is not the full story. Another important part of the story is access to healthcare services. Fortunately, so far American doctors have not seen the worst of their COVID-19 concerns come true: They have not been in the unenviable position of triaging COVID-19 patients and rationing access to beds, ventilators, or hospital care. Even in the midst of New York City’s peak, we were not sending elderly patients home to die, as some Italian hospitals were forced to do. This explicit form of rationing is particularly shocking to many Americans, but it is not uncommon in countries with socialized medicine. Even more common is an implicit form of rationing where patients must simply wait longer for appointments, treatments or surgeries, due to the failure of the health system to match supply with demand. Because Americans have some of the world’s shortest wait times, we have better access to preventive care and care for serious diseases. This is why America has the world’s best cancer survival rates, best longevity after age 80, and better heart attack survival rates than the average of comparable countries. With COVID-19 survival rates, time - critical time which allowed for medical knowledge to advance - is also a factor: America’s COVID-19 survival rate, like survival rates around the world, has improved greatly since the beginning of the pandemic, when health providers knew little about the disease. For decades, American medical innovators ultimately have served patients throughout the world, as advancements in treatments, techniques, pharmaceuticals, and devices are exported overseas. More patients are alive today in all parts of the world thanks to the way America incentivizes and rewards medical innovation. However, there is one area where international healthcare rankings do get criticism of the U.S. right: Americans do not have equal access to high quality care. And the private payment pipeline that most Americans use, often involving insurance companies and employers, is overly complex and inefficient. The quality of care Americans receive can vary greatly based on their type of insurance and available resources. Of course, the vast majority of Americans will never stay in a suite like the one President Trump visited at Walter Reed. This said, people outside the United States often misunderstand two things: First is the degree to which our government finances healthcare. Approximately one-third of Americans are in a government insurance plan. Health reformers should take note it is not privately insured patients, but Medicare and Medicaid patients (and uninsured patients) who face the greatest challenges accessing healthcare, because these programs reimburse health providers at below-market rates. Second, virtually all American hospitals are legally obligated to treat patients in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay. This may not be “universal healthcare” by the typical definition, but it is a type of universal care. Progressive political advocates, who are quick to seize on any ranking of the U.S. that depicts our system as inferior to that of countries with socialized medicine, often paint a picture of Americans dying in our streets for lack of healthcare. This is not accurate, nor are the rankings that suggest that American healthcare stinks. Of course, we can do better, and reforms should focus on how we pay for healthcare. But as we work to reform America’s convoluted healthcare payment system, we should take care not to damage what is best about American healthcare - namely, the best quality of healthcare available in the world. Instead, we should seek to expand access to healthcare for the sake of all Americans and, ultimately, all people around the world.
Being on a lockdown in time of pandemic doesn't mean we turned down democracy...it is our government's duty to impose and protect its citizen and everyone's social duty to not to infect someone else...
I live in Texas and my cousin moved to Australia back in 2014. he was always telling me how much better it is than America. How the government takes care of everything and all you have to worry about is not getting sunburned on the beach that day. But I always cherished The United States and the freedoms that we have compared to other countries. We may not be perfect, but at least we have The Bill of Rights.
Australia right now is one of the most tyrannical states in human history. Literally the entire population is in a open prison state the likes of which the world has never seen before. Horrific
I’m so grateful for living in the US state i live in. It’s normal, everyday life here (no masks or anything) and we’re only 50% vaccinated. Hospitals are running fine too, despite the fact that lots of people here are old, obese, and have other health issues that would make them more susceptible to being hospitalized by covid. We kept our freedom.
@IасJ the professional army are civilians themselves. In their oath it specifically says they are required to protect citizens from foreign and domestic enemies, so it’s almost promised that they will side with civilians before government. I’m a Marine so i’ve lived around those guys for some time, and they have a passion for defending freedom.
Australia isn’t only NSW and Victoria. Yes, they have opened their borders, but states like Western Australia haven’t. Poor management, both from the state and federally , means citizens are still stuck outside of the state with no concrete date on when they will be able to return to their homes. The whole of Australia is not open.
Danke, mein Gott, ich kann die Reise essen Deutschland ist das erste wirtschaftliche in der Welt. Ich habe Freizeit um etwas zu tun das Leben ist sowieso nicht einfach Lockdown in Deutschland ist gut die erste Wirtschaft ist Deutschland in Europa
@@bonnie7898 NT, SA, Tas, WA, QLD are not currently freely open, so saying Australia is open is not true. I’m not saying everything should just open, however you can’t leave your citizens outside the country like this. If there were plans to get us home, I would certainly follow those rules, however WA has turned its back on us. Numerous flights canceled, nearly homeless because the government won’t accept us, even to quarantine. Germany‘s cases are rising because of poor management, they’ve started the booster plan too late.
Before the pandemic started Australia used to get hundreds of thousands of tourists coming here every year. There are many interesting things to enjoy here.
Australia's Federal governments astounding incompetence meant they didn't order early vaccines. The uptake & management has been left to the states. That's why state leaders, both sides of politics, are getting pushback & protests.
It was a stroke of luck actually, look at all the countries that had vaccines first, they are less vaccinated than us now. Time was needed for people to become confident in the vaccines.
I think part of it is there is an election next year and the government didn't want to be associated with vaccine mandates AND under government legislation and law the commonwealth cannot force people to take vaccines only the state governments can. That's why commonwealth workers can't lose their jobs if they aren't vaccinated but state government workers can I think and awful lot of reasons came into play when it came to vaccines
What they needed was to accept that it's just a flu. If it goes into your lungs take penicillin or antibiotics. Refuse remdesivir and ventilators. Take De vitamin C and zinc to stay strong. DO NOT Take the Poison Vaccine.
@@arcanum6685 Covid. We've done all the hoof work - we don't need new strains coming in. That may or may not happen - but if covid is on the way out like they say then maybe in some time in the not too distant future it may no longer be necessary.

@@Luka23567 true enough, they would lose to the Govt just like in America, but it would be far more painful for them and there is always the risk, like in the former Soviet union that once the fighting stated the Army would side with the citizens
This is very biased reporting. Most of Australia has had very few lockdowns and we’re living mostly normal lives. Melbourne and Sydney have been hardest hit but they are not all of Australia. And the convict reference is ridiculous and obviously playing to prejudices and lack of knowledge of the international audience. Shame on you DW.
VIC & NSW are 58% of the national population, so those state lockdowns did affect "most" Australians.. Also, Sydney & Melbourne often went into lockdowns with their satellite cities Geelong, Wollongong & Central Coast. That's still 44% of the national population without the rest of those states, and those cities are responsible for 73% of national gdp. To downplay these statistics is ignoring the reality of how much devastation these policies have had on a majority of Australians and a majority of our GDP.
@@marklockwood1084 Sadly the Murdoch press and the Costello press is extremely biased towards the Far Right. NSW has a Right Wing government that is supported by Murdoch however Victoria has a Left wing government thus the extremist coverage in the media. Very early in the Covid decisions were being made on a political basis and NSW gov exposed the biggest single event of exposure by releasing a boat load of infected passengers into the community. Since that event the running of Quarantines has been done by government health departments both federal and state.
It's not going back to normal for a long long time. Every time restrictions are loosened, there will be a spike and people will become afraid to go to restaurants etc again. So everybody has to live with either restrictions or a weak economy for the forseeable future. I think people will gradually tire of the restrictions, so the political pressure will gradually move towards lifting them, but that will mean more virus which will drag on economies for a long time.
I keep saying it, we aren’t getting out of this cycle anytime soon. We open, spike, close. Open, spike, close. It’s frustrating we have to learn to live with covid. I’m a vaccinated person but this is ridiculous.
Waves of infections .. lol I got relatives all over the world all over Australia and not one person knows anybody who has got covid .. that one bar owner don't speak for every bar in Melbourne
So true .... I personally know people thpouhgt my life that have contracted (and died from) cancer, heart disease, stroke and liver disease. But its weird that not only do I NOT personally know anyone who has died of Covid, I don't even know anyone personally who has even got it.
I said early on that the fall out from lockdowns would far outweigh the death from the disease. The disease will wane (they always do) but the mental and emotional damage, particularly for the kids robbed of their childhood, will cause ripples for decades.
Sadly yes there has been some suicides. There has also been a much higher rate of people suffering from anxiety and depression than before the pandemic began. Being in lockdown for months and months is not natural. People have been very lonely not being allowed to see their friends and families that live in different areas. It has been extremely stressful for a lot of people in Australia. Our politicians do not really care about how we have suffered.
Eliminating the virus seem to require eliminating certain freedoms. It is completely valid to choose liberty over safety in this case, sometimes security can come at too high a cost.
And now its pretty much the complete opposite. Cases going at 150k a day which in a country with 25m people is a lot. The difference between now and August '21 was hardly anyone was vaccinated.
How can you say that Australia has done fine when so many people have lost months/years on lockdown? I’m from Sweden that has been harshly criticized for liberal covid handling and high number of deaths per capita during the first wave of the pandemic. It’s sad that my countrymen have lost lifetime of total 100,000 man-years. But still, that’s just 4 days per living person in this country. Personally speaking, I have enjoyed a high quality of life throughout the pandemic, and I’m happy to live in a liberal country.
@@magnushem8734 Most of the country never went back into lockdown, after the short original lockdown in 2020. Masks and social distancing also weren’t required in most of the country. Australia is a big country, VIC / NSW are only a small part of it.
The reason for the lockdowns was the Federal Government only putting our bets on three vaccines when most developed nations placed their bets on six. This was also rather convenient as Federal MP's bought shares in AstraZeneca.
Thanks Chad nice try but no, the reason for the lockdowns was to instill fear of an imaginary virus and control the population while the elderly in nursing homes were culled using Midazolam and morphine.
Technically there isn’t a vaccine to pick. They don’t stop infection or spread. The police there are despicable, I only hope ours don’t act like that. It will be a very very bad result here,
It's been months since we in South Australia have had a single case and yet we still have to wear masks and check in everywhere and I was told now my mask exemption (I'm fully vaccinated) didn't count anymore at our doctors clinic. We are seriously over it, when is it going to be over!
The sad truth is that it won't be over until people fight back. This virus has a 99.8% survival rate. It's not something to shut down economies over. The powers that be are utilizing this virus as a large-scale behavior modification tool. They'll continue with it until they realize it isn't working as they'd hope anymore.
The US CDC director just said (yesterday) that over 75% of covid deaths were in people with at least four comorbidities with average age at TOD of 72 years old.
@@chrisward5626 Fined for not wearing a mask in your car driving alone. Only being able to leave your house for 2 hours a day and only within a 5km radius. Some of the strictest measure in the world. Meh you're right it's casual XD

From March 2020 to the early months of 2021 the UK only had a few months of freedom during summer. Even then , we were placed on a traffic light system where some parts of the UK had to remain in lockdown even Christmas was going to be cancelled..however they let us have Christmas day itself. That's probably why So many in the UK will never accept another lockdown.. Thousands of us still work from home and many have lost their livelihoods, Jobs and homes and still fear the outside world.. Sometimes we think what was world War ll , for? Those soldiers faced the war head on knowing that many shan't be returning . However a virus? Caused governments to reak fear and havoc into our souls as we became inhibited and scared to venture into society.. This virus has treated us like a war.. So shouldn't we treat it as such also , I'd rather fight and face death and than sit around waiting for it..I can understand the overwhelming of hospitals .. And money wasted couldve been used training more and more assistant nurses And newby Doctors to the fore.. Signing them up for a war.. Everyday people to help take the burden away from the professionals ..learn to assist regardless of not having the degrees and certifiable credentials.. It is what it is.. And it's not going away until the highly populated countries are minimised by it ...it's obvious! So we've got this for years to come ..even other pandemics will slip in somewhere along the line.. I just feel our fight is only just beginning.. Vaccines And lockdowns can assist.. But it's only placing a pause on the inevitable..Variants are getting more aggressive and they're playing with us.. We however are causing the virus to be here longer than it needs to be.
sad, probably you dont have a chance to explore the world. what you have is internet and all those conspiracy theories. not that they dont exist, they do but going about just everything normal except covid thingy-kind-of-conspiracy is just pathetic. there are other places that put even stricter rules. get a life, really.
@@BT_Spanky another example of generalizing people. i've said in my comment that cons theory is there, no doubt about it. but instead of picking up those monster systems like the education and financial systems people talk too much about covid that the distraction sways them awat from the real issues. covid is not the real issue, vax is not the real issue but people with so many misinfo are the real issues. and again am not saying that you dont do your research
What is wrong with the political system in Australia? Answer: Elected officials that have been infiltrated, infected, and corrupted by corrupt corporations, namely Pfizer and Moderna. Resistance is NOT futile.
Only in one state. Western Australia has had nine deaths in the whole pandemic, most of which came from an international cruise ship. We have had very little by way of lockdowns and everyone is living the same way we did in 2019. The only thing different is really good border controls.
This is almost the same as what's happening in Malaysia... when my country has entered the 3rd lockdown since June.. but now they eased their restrictions although the cases are still stuck in between 5K & 6K....
I am scared as an international student who wants to come in Australia for higher education because govt is all over the place they might go with lockdown any day….
A lot of Greeks emigrated to Aus in the 50's 60's - not just Melbourne. Where I grew up in Perth, the fishing industry and Fish and Chip shops were pretty much dominated by Greeks. They were good at it. I don't know about now, because I now live in the UK.

2:00 "It's pretty much like an open-air prison here in Australia" - Um, no... it isn't, and hasn't been, for most of Australia. The restrictions have been targeted on outbreak clusters. Melbourne has endured some of the longest and most extreme restrictions, because they keep recording high numbers of new cases. And they keep recording high numbers of new cases because a minority of total gronks keep willfully disobeying the restrictions. They also refuse to vaccinate. It's a vicious circle, and they are the ones complaining loudest about it. If we _were_ actually being run like a _prison,_ they'd all be in solitary.
Premier Dan Andrews is one of Australia's heroes. He has lead Victoria through a really tough time, using vaccines lockdowns and masks to manage one of the most virulent viruses in world history. He has been undermined by our opportunistic Prime Minister who talks about freedom to pick up the votes of uncooperative people who refuse to vaccinate and thus leave all the hard work to others.

I find this video very troubling due to the fact that the Prime Minister said, “ No one in Australia ever got Covid”. So why the need of resection? As long as no one came into Australia. But they have special reasons. Do as you’re told! Not as I do! Said the slave master
Very few people in Australia originally got covid because of the restrictions. After most of the population was vaccinated we opened up which is why we have so few deaths compared to the rest of the world.
I'm a melbourner and I am proud of how quickly we took measures and how much we protected lives. We have one of the world's lowest infection and death rates and we are proud of this. We aren't looking at a fourth wave like Germany or hundreds of thousands of dead like US and UK. in fact we look there and are grateful for our lockdowns.
I was stuck in The Philippines for the first 3 months of the pandemic, got out on an Australian sweeper flight picking up the trapped Australian tourists from PH. It was so strict there it was all run by police and army and was 6 months jail for going out of the house without a quarantine pass(1 person in each house was allowed out for shopping once every 2-3 days and loitering was made a criminal offence, all under 18s were on 24-7 curfew for a year or more(they didn't stick to it, they were always out playing haha), 6 months for no mask in public, 6 months for breaking curfew, all no court case it started the day you where caught! It was so stick every town was surrounded on the roads by police and army with automatic rifles and shotguns. They shut like Oz did and they are still closed to foreigners now and only allow a set a mount of filipinos in each day. Then i got back to the UK, wow what a difference it was like a joke here and people were just carrying on as normal. The pubs were still open in the UK and all public events 10 days after in the philippines we were on military lockdown! i couldn't believe the way the UK handled it and still can't now compared to what they could of done. I could see why my Filipino GF family were petrified of me going home as they had only had 300 dead in 3 months with all the lockdowns and restrictions while at the same time in get UK there was over 1000 a day dying. With experiencing both i would definitely say the the lockdown and strict method saves lives, there is no comparison really.
If the world and especially my country had done this 18 months ago, we could be back to business as usual right now. My favorite restaurants wouldn't be closed. Now it's far too late, the "back to normal" option is not on the table anymore.

Do the best to protect your sick and elderly, if they so choose, and get on with it. COVID doesn't kill young and healthy people. This is hysteria is nuts.
Sadly there have been some cases here in Australia where young people have died from Covid. It is not just a disease effecting the elderly people in society. Covid can infect anyone, of any age and have serious effects. We have hundreds of people dying here every week in 2022 of all ages.
@@susanmcguire4664 There are always outliers in large sample groups, and the human population is 7.9 billion people, with about 52% being under the age of 30. The "all-cause" mortality rate for the first year of life is higher than for 45-54 year-olds. It drops from there but doesn't go to zero deaths and then rises steadily through life until it begins to go up quite dramatically from age 55+; there will always be outliers. You can't have governmental or medical policies applied to everyone in your effort to eliminate those outliers. No scenario or level of intervention will eliminate all risks. But you can cause human harm and suffering by trying. In my state, kids and young adults have been back in school, living and socializing normally since April 27, 2020. My state's population is 10.5 million, not quite half of Australia's population. However, the area of my state is 1/50th the size of Australia. We've been wide open and living with the 'pandemic' for over 2 years. Kids and young adults haven't been dying from covid. We had 7 pediatric deaths. Only 2 didn't have preexisting severe comorbidities (e,g, cancer). One of those two was a 5-year old that had a seizure and drowned in his bathtub, and the other was a 17-year-old boy who wrapped his car around a tree at high speed and later died at the hospital.
Many people have been doing this and are still doing this even now. A lot of people in Australia feel anger and frustration towards our Govt leaders and politicians. We are sick and tired of them trying to control us.
That is good to hear. Before Covid we used to get thousands of tourists coming here from all over the world. It is a wonderful place for a holiday. There is a lot to see and do here. I would never live anywhere else.
It’s funny how the presenter skimmed over the part where citizens weren’t allowed to leave their own country. If some Asian nation had done so it would have made headlines. The bit about the Australian Government not allowing Aussies to leave has now gotten a lot of Aussies and the entire world wondering whether Australians are still living with a prison mentality.
In part it was because we have the highest number as a proportion of our population compared to say a country in Europe or US , are immigrants so it meant had to be fairly strict because we travel a lot. To put it into perspective Queensland my state had about the same number of imported covid 19 cases as Taiwan but only 1 fifth the population. Other nations did have significant travel restrictions, it wasn't only Australia.
@@bonnie7898 As a Melbournian, I agree with Bonnie. I was shocked at the noise people were making because they couldn't take a holiday for a year or two. And we are such a big country, no reason those people couldn't take a domestic holiday.
@@annoyedaussie3942 I’m specifically talking about not letting Australians leave, not about restrictions on incoming travellers - so that’s a pretty dumb statement - simply placing restrictions on incoming Aussies already eliminated the risk of the first generation ‘immigrant’ Australians coming home with the virus. If you mean students, then they were asked to leave and would be blocked from returning by the blanket ban on foreigners. Also, the USA has far more foreign workers in their population as well as first generation immigrants - easily compared to Australia. What planet are you on…? Just in case you don’t know, the USA also put a hold on incoming travellers. They just didn’t stop any of their own citizens from leaving - because that’s imprisonment. Period. And you’re merely rationalising a badly implemented government decision. Very Australian.
J Bhattacharya, is the Head of Medicine at Stanford University California (and also an expert in infectious diseases) and recently said “the lockdowns were the biggest public health mistake, of all time.”
You are right as they helped spread the virus because no attention was given to how many people live in poor over crowded housing with poor ventilation and suburbs with no green spaces. Masks should have been mandatory from day one and then vaccines given without delay and they were not.
If economies don't recover on time, there will not only be more deaths but also more miserable lives. Better to live well and die happy than to live in fear and die of old age.
@Grahame Wells also those of us descended from DW's "petty criminals" (yes they stole things like loaves of bread - shocking!) are quite proud of the lineage. It's nothing compared to Indigenous history, but it tickles me to be descended from a 14yo old boy who arrived in 1788 with the First Fleet.
20000 nurses have cancelled their registration. Cases are on the rise as we head into the Christmas period. I put my money on a health system overload by January after the virus has spread all over the country during Christmas. We have been here many times before, we open up and show the world how lucky we are only to lockdown a few months later. This is far from over
So what are you suggesting? Keep imposing lockdown for eternity until this pandemic is over? Sweden got it right!!! There's no point in extending lockdown and push people into poverty.
Cases are decreasing. A month ago there were about 2500 new daily cases. Today there are about 1500 new daily cases. More importantly, 30 days ago almost 1400 people were hospitalised with covid. Today about 500 are hospitalised. 20,000 nurses have not cancelled their resignations. Fewer than 0.1% of NSW Health staff resigned due to vax mandates. Less than 1% of Vic Health staff have refused to get vaxxed. This includes admin staff as well as nurses. By mid December 90% of population over 16 will be double vaxxed, as well as a high percentage of 12-15 year olds (currently 60% double vaxxed). We'll be fine.
@@trishna_6815 the virus did this the first 5 lockdowns before the vaccine. Victoria reached 83 days without a positive case during lockdown 4 without vaccines. Germany will be our look into the future. I’ll see you all in January for the results
I normally like DW b/c it's so balanced but this journalist was a bit extreme to call Australia a land of petty criminals .. we've kind of moved on since then. Australia could easily level certain criticisms out of Germany's history, too - but what would be the point in that given that people have moved on .. Also, as others have pointed out - restrictive lockdown really only happened in Victoria. Most of the country was pretty relaxed. Until recently, the ACT was pretty much living as normal until the short 2021 lockdown which has now been lifted
I’ve heard of people not being able to see their family in Australia for an unbearably long amount of time because the international borders were shut cold. Maybe that adds to the international perspective that Australia took unreasonably harsh measures.
There have been hundreds of thousands of people living here that are angry and frustrated. The last 2 and 1/2 years have been extremely difficult for a lot of people. Our Govt and political leaders have put a lot of added stress on us.
My country the Philippines is quite picky on what country to be allowed to get here... Only Country with green pass(or Countries that has less cases) can enter.
The worst is over for now, but as we can see with Europe, it can come back next winter. We may be better placed with the high vaccination rate due to long lockdowns.
Live in england 50000 cases a day 88% took the jab makes no difference but injuries from vaccine are astonishing heart attaks up 34,% and non covid deaths in the 10s of thousands lockdowns kill masks dont work vaccines cour cases comeing
It will be very interesting what happens in the next southern hemisphere winter. The delta wave reached Australia quite late, and we know that Covid spreads fastest during winter in temperature countries due to people heading indoors. A harsh lockdown is only as meaningful as people are willing to follow the rules. There is no question it works in East and Southeast Asian countries where the vast majority follow the rules, and anti-mask protests and anti-vaxx movements are unknown. The scenes played out in Melbourne and Sydney would NEVER happen in Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul or Ho Chi Minh City. It should be apparent by now that social solidarity and the sense of social responsibility is much stronger in Asia than in the West.
Masks have been part of Asian cultures long before Covid. I arrived in Japan in winter, and saw many wearing them, so it was already part of their accepted culture, and hence no demonstrations. However, Japan did suffer high numbers regardless which is surprising.
@@julia393n no accounting for paranoia, there are greater problems in China than covid to worry about, for a start lung cancer from your pollution. Imprisonment or death for freedom of speech or choice of religion. So I wouldn't worry about covid.
@@julia393n well, for Far East Asia, kissing was not part of their culture, and they rarely shake hands, and did not hug people who are not family members. So, that may have contributed.
Australia is located south of the equator. Their spring is our fall and infections have come down in recent weeks. The opening of borders to Australians to come home may be withdrawn as infections outside Australia spike.
Yeah the 3 months lockdown felt harsh but we have low deaths, low infection rates, majority of people have complied with masks and vaccines - making it safer for everyone. I'm really proud of what we've achieved as a state and country. Sometimes we gotta do what's hard, for the betterment of society as a whole. And the financial aid and vouchers will give businesses who suffered during lockdown a much needed economic boost. Covid is a 1 in 100 year pandemic, so it's not easy to navigate. We're doing our best and so far we've weathered it much better than other developed countries, so we are incredibly lucky. I live in state of NSW Australia (my suburb was part of the high risk areas of Sydney) so had to endure the strictest rules for 3 months. It sucked ngl, but it beats seeing loved ones die or get long covid.
Well said, I’m in Victoria & agree that we’ve been lucky to not have a high death toll such as other parts of the world but alas it’s now time to restart life & living from having done the right thing.
Sumo.. maybe revisit this comment in 6months. The right thing may have been to not listen to government and disapprove how police have treated citizens.
It's obvious the propoganda worked on many of the Aussies scaring them into submission. We have the same "lost" borg thinkers in the states too, but we are much more fiercely independent. Good luck to you. We are watching you and hope more will wake up and fight back.
@@sumosprojects ffs, wake up. restrictions are lifted around the world in summertime. Because covid surges in winter. I hope you can say the same when the winter arrives for you again.
I am willing to like with my lockdown health issues rather than having myself of others die of covid. Sometimes life is just about trade offs. Its why to earn money i have to work, or to maintain my physical health i cant eat ice cream all day
What will Australia do in three months when the antibody surge from their recent vaccinations ends and both vaccinated and unvaccinated spread at the same rate? This is happening in the north, Korea, UK, Canada, Scandinavia, all heavily vaccinated and / or immune but with cases still going up, according to weather mostly.
@@karmie1052 Won't help long term. In the case of flu vaccines, each booster shot gives you less bang for your buck. A lifetime of flu shots could leave you with no way to be protected when you get old. But flu shots are only given once per year and different viral vaccines are given over time (the formula is rotated). No one is sure with SARS-CoV-2 yet but you probably don’t want to be getting a vaccine for it every three or six months, not to mention putting selective pressure on the virus allowing it to learn how to breakthrough vaccine-induced antibodies.
@@karmie1052 P.S. No reports of 4 shots being authorized in Israel yet. Just this: "Israel is making preparations to ensure it has sufficient vaccine supply in case a fourth round of Covid-19 shots is needed."
Other than going out to eat they have not been checking if people are vaccinated. In the spring when most places were locked down I drove from New Brunswick to Alberta without being stopped. Drove back this fall with no problems. Lockdown are a joke in Canada
@@bailys8179 Only people who took the medicine can go to restaurants, gyms etc. You can get groceries, liquor and weed though without problem. You cannot get on a plane, train or boat for domestic or international travel. So if you don’t drive you are out of luck. Some provinces have/had travel restrictions as well, even by car.
Canada worse than China or North Korea. No freedom left here. Especially Ontario Canada. I refuse to wear a mask, take a vax. I don't consent. I don't comply. Only want freedom.🙏💜

COVID-19 “Science” Questions ?
How did computer geek Bill Gates become the world health czar, who decided every person on the planet must be “vaccinated” and be given a unique identification number?
Did Dr. Anthony Fauci write an article printed in the Washington Post during 2011 which advocated for “Gain-of-Function” research in viruses? Did Fauci say it was a risk worth taking?
Did Dr. Ralph Baric at UNC Chapel Hill perform “Gain-of-Function” research on Corona viruses?
Why did N.C. Governor Roy Cooper tell pharmacists not to fill prescriptions for Hydroxychloroquine, even though it was prescribed by medical doctors in that state? Did this order lead to any deaths?
If there was no “vaccine” for the 1918 Spanish Influenza virus, how did that pandemic end?
Did a recent Israeli study conclude natural immunity produced by recovery from a COVID-19 infection is thirteen times better than that produced by the shots now being promoted in the U.S. ?
Are less than 1% of the “vaccine” injuries being recorded by the VAERS system? Are many of those with injuries being ignored?
If Dr. Anthony Fauci is the official source of “Science” which is not to be questioned, why did he change his story about the need to wear masks?
How much of the Bill of Rights found in the U.S. Constitution has been ignored during the last two years?
The answers to many of these questions are found in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new book “The Real Anthony Fauci, [Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Heath]”.

@@melissamariea Yup...
@@soulsphere9242 Now explain how you consider perpetual lockdowns, "Getting it right"?
@@soulsphere9242 Oops, I forgot to respond...
I'm not gonna get into the details about lock downs much as these kind of debates get tedious, but if you think you wouldn't want to be an American because "American healthcare bad," I have to counter that by honestly stating that our health care systems is actually one of the best. Pandemic or not. Many people only say it's bad because of the expense in it, but listen to this: America’s medical system was, in some ways, better prepared for a pandemic than other nations. While we have a relatively low physician-to-population ratio, and fewer total hospital beds per capita than other comparable countries, the U.S. is home to more ICU beds per capita than any other nation, according to an analysis of 2012 data. Perhaps this is because we are used to treating a relatively unhealthy and overweight population, a population at higher risk for a COVID-19 (which is about 30% of our population). Ironically, our healthcare system enables that 30% to live longer and better lives in spite of their comorbidities, chronic conditions, and poor lifestyle choices. From the outside, the lack of 30% of Americans' health might reflect poorly on our healthcare system, but it is exactly because of the high quality of care available in the U.S. that so many Americans can afford to live in the unhealthy way that they can.
Similarly, the U.S. uses a great deal more neonatal ICU care than other industrialized countries. But you would not know it from our infant mortality rate, which is relatively high for two reasons: First, Americans carry high-risk pregnancies (e.g., to mothers who are teenage, obese, or of advanced maternal age) at a higher rate than other countries. And secondly, the U.S. counts more babies as live births who, due to prematurity or low birth weight, have little chance of survival. Ironically, our infant mortality rate suffers, because we make a greater effort to save every life. If you are about to deliver a baby, you would be fortunate to deliver in the U.S., where the baby will receive this high level of care.
Despite our risk factors for COVID-19, despite the greater degree to which the coronavirus has spread in the U.S., and despite criticisms and conflict over our government’s response, the U.S. health system has done a phenomenal job at what it is supposed to do: keep patients alive. The U.S. has one of the world’s best COVID-19 survival rates, meaning if you are diagnosed with it, you would have a greater chance of survival here than in many other countries, including many of those that the WHO and others rank as having healthcare systems superior to our own.
According to the latest CDC numbers, the U.S. survival rate for COVID-19 is 0.98. That means that if you are diagnosed with COVID, you have a 98% chance of not dying from the virus. Conversely, you face a mortality rate of nearly 2% (2.2). By contrast, the United Kingdom, another wealthy country, has a lower survival rate of 96%. The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center tracks the mortality rate (the inverse of the survival rate) for each country, and finds that the U.S. also performs better than Mexico (where the COVID-19 mortality rate is currently 10%), Italy (4%), the UK (4%), Belgium (3%), Sweden (3%), Canada (4%), China (5%), Spain (3%), and many other countries. Now, COVID-19 survival rates, even more so than survival rates for other illnesses, are plagued by confounding variables. A country could, as many suggest the U.S. has done, reach a rosier rate by simply testing more people, identifying more cases (many of which are mild or even asymptomatic), and counting those among the denominator.
Indeed, the U.S. has experienced a higher caseload and greater spread of the virus than most other countries. The number of cases and the spread of the virus are reflections of many factors, including government policy, culture, and individual choices and behaviors. The medical system - our hospitals, doctors, and nurses - have little control over this, just as they have little control over the 30% of Americans that drive recklessly or are obese. While the spread of the virus (and testing response) has an effect on the mortality numbers, it is not the full story.
Another important part of the story is access to healthcare services. Fortunately, so far American doctors have not seen the worst of their COVID-19 concerns come true: They have not been in the unenviable position of triaging COVID-19 patients and rationing access to beds, ventilators, or hospital care. Even in the midst of New York City’s peak, we were not sending elderly patients home to die, as some Italian hospitals were forced to do.
This explicit form of rationing is particularly shocking to many Americans, but it is not uncommon in countries with socialized medicine. Even more common is an implicit form of rationing where patients must simply wait longer for appointments, treatments or surgeries, due to the failure of the health system to match supply with demand.
Because Americans have some of the world’s shortest wait times, we have better access to preventive care and care for serious diseases. This is why America has the world’s best cancer survival rates, best longevity after age 80, and better heart attack survival rates than the average of comparable countries.
With COVID-19 survival rates, time - critical time which allowed for medical knowledge to advance - is also a factor: America’s COVID-19 survival rate, like survival rates around the world, has improved greatly since the beginning of the pandemic, when health providers knew little about the disease. For decades, American medical innovators ultimately have served patients throughout the world, as advancements in treatments, techniques, pharmaceuticals, and devices are exported overseas. More patients are alive today in all parts of the world thanks to the way America incentivizes and rewards medical innovation.
However, there is one area where international healthcare rankings do get criticism of the U.S. right: Americans do not have equal access to high quality care. And the private payment pipeline that most Americans use, often involving insurance companies and employers, is overly complex and inefficient. The quality of care Americans receive can vary greatly based on their type of insurance and available resources. Of course, the vast majority of Americans will never stay in a suite like the one President Trump visited at Walter Reed.
This said, people outside the United States often misunderstand two things: First is the degree to which our government finances healthcare. Approximately one-third of Americans are in a government insurance plan. Health reformers should take note it is not privately insured patients, but Medicare and Medicaid patients (and uninsured patients) who face the greatest challenges accessing healthcare, because these programs reimburse health providers at below-market rates.
Second, virtually all American hospitals are legally obligated to treat patients in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay. This may not be “universal healthcare” by the typical definition, but it is a type of universal care.
Progressive political advocates, who are quick to seize on any ranking of the U.S. that depicts our system as inferior to that of countries with socialized medicine, often paint a picture of Americans dying in our streets for lack of healthcare. This is not accurate, nor are the rankings that suggest that American healthcare stinks.
Of course, we can do better, and reforms should focus on how we pay for healthcare. But as we work to reform America’s convoluted healthcare payment system, we should take care not to damage what is best about American healthcare - namely, the best quality of healthcare available in the world. Instead, we should seek to expand access to healthcare for the sake of all Americans and, ultimately, all people around the world.

Australia's Federal governments astounding incompetence meant they didn't order early vaccines. The uptake & management has been left to the states. That's why state leaders, both sides of politics, are getting pushback & protests.
First bit = No.
Second point = Pretty much
It was a stroke of luck actually, look at all the countries that had vaccines first, they are less vaccinated than us now. Time was needed for people to become confident in the vaccines.
I think part of it is there is an election next year and the government didn't want to be associated with vaccine mandates AND under government legislation and law the commonwealth cannot force people to take vaccines only the state governments can. That's why commonwealth workers can't lose their jobs if they aren't vaccinated but state government workers can
I think and awful lot of reasons came into play when it came to vaccines
Yes. Morrison was offered millions of doses of Pfizer in June 2020, instead opting for the cheaper AZ which no one wanted!
What they needed was to accept that it's just a flu. If it goes into your lungs take penicillin or antibiotics. Refuse remdesivir and ventilators. Take De vitamin C and zinc to stay strong. DO NOT Take the Poison Vaccine.

This is very biased reporting. Most of Australia has had very few lockdowns and we’re living mostly normal lives. Melbourne and Sydney have been hardest hit but they are not all of Australia. And the convict reference is ridiculous and obviously playing to prejudices and lack of knowledge of the international audience. Shame on you DW.
Watching from uk this dan andrews needs taking down and arrested
VIC & NSW are 58% of the national population, so those state lockdowns did affect "most" Australians.. Also, Sydney & Melbourne often went into lockdowns with their satellite cities Geelong, Wollongong & Central Coast. That's still 44% of the national population without the rest of those states, and those cities are responsible for 73% of national gdp.
To downplay these statistics is ignoring the reality of how much devastation these policies have had on a majority of Australians and a majority of our GDP.

It's not going back to normal for a long long time. Every time restrictions are loosened, there will be a spike and people will become afraid to go to restaurants etc again. So everybody has to live with either restrictions or a weak economy for the forseeable future. I think people will gradually tire of the restrictions, so the political pressure will gradually move towards lifting them, but that will mean more virus which will drag on economies for a long time.
I keep saying it, we aren’t getting out of this cycle anytime soon. We open, spike, close. Open, spike, close. It’s frustrating we have to learn to live with covid. I’m a vaccinated person but this is ridiculous.

I wonder how many have gone completely insane or have committed suicide over these extreme lockdowns? ADD those deaths to the total for Australia 😥
I said early on that the fall out from lockdowns would far outweigh the death from the disease. The disease will wane (they always do) but the mental and emotional damage, particularly for the kids robbed of their childhood, will cause ripples for decades.
Sadly yes there has been some suicides. There has also been a much higher rate of people suffering from anxiety and depression than before the pandemic began.
Being in lockdown for months and months is not natural. People have been very lonely not being allowed to see their friends and families that live in different areas.
It has been extremely stressful for a lot of people in Australia. Our politicians do not really care about how we have suffered.

The reason for the lockdowns was the Federal Government only putting our bets on three vaccines when most developed nations placed their bets on six. This was also rather convenient as Federal MP's bought shares in AstraZeneca.
Thanks Chad nice try but no, the reason for the lockdowns was to instill fear of an imaginary virus and control the population while the elderly in nursing homes were culled using Midazolam and morphine.
Technically there isn’t a vaccine to pick. They don’t stop infection or spread. The police there are despicable, I only hope ours don’t act like that. It will be a very very bad result here,
why not on 100 vaccins.
It is a shame what is happening in Australia, life without freedom is not worth living.
australia makes me sick to think about
It's been months since we in South Australia have had a single case and yet we still have to wear masks and check in everywhere and I was told now my mask exemption (I'm fully vaccinated) didn't count anymore at our doctors clinic. We are seriously over it, when is it going to be over!
When we start fighting.
Here in uk not wore a mask for 6 months everything open 40000 cases a day i should say the vaccine does not work
When it's over..We are all sick of it but I remind myself that WW2 lasted 6 years..
The sad truth is that it won't be over until people fight back. This virus has a 99.8% survival rate. It's not something to shut down economies over. The powers that be are utilizing this virus as a large-scale behavior modification tool. They'll continue with it until they realize it isn't working as they'd hope anymore.
This is just the beginning I think
The US CDC director just said (yesterday) that over 75% of covid deaths were in people with at least four comorbidities with average age at TOD of 72 years old.
Australia took these pandemic restrictions way too far. Scary place to live. They finally gave up on the zero case strategy.. what a waste.
Scary ? Are you serious? Put that crack pipe down

I'm an international airline pilot and have had layovers in Australia and China in the last two years. Australia is actually much worse than Communist China.

From March 2020 to the early months of 2021 the UK only had a few months of freedom during summer.
Even then , we were placed on a traffic light system where some parts of the UK had to remain in lockdown even Christmas was going to be cancelled..however they let us have Christmas day itself.
That's probably why So many in the UK will never accept another lockdown..
Thousands of us still work from home and many have lost their livelihoods, Jobs and homes and still fear the outside world..
Sometimes we think what was world War ll , for?
Those soldiers faced the war head on knowing that many shan't be returning .
However a virus? Caused governments to reak fear and havoc into our souls as we became inhibited and scared to venture into society..
This virus has treated us like a war..
So shouldn't we treat it as such also ,
I'd rather fight and face death and than sit around waiting for it..I can understand the overwhelming of hospitals ..
And money wasted couldve been used training more and more assistant nurses And newby Doctors to the fore..
Signing them up for a war..
Everyday people to help take the burden away from the professionals ..learn to assist regardless of not having the degrees and certifiable credentials..
It is what it is..
And it's not going away until the highly populated countries are minimised by it ...it's obvious! So we've got this for years to come ..even other pandemics will slip in somewhere along the line..
I just feel our fight is only just beginning..
Vaccines And lockdowns can assist..
But it's only placing a pause on the inevitable..Variants are getting more aggressive and they're playing with us..
We however are causing the virus to be here longer than it needs to be.

Is everyone in Melbourne Greek? I knew there is a big Greek minority there, but I was surprised to see so many Greek surnames.
A lot of Greeks emigrated to Aus in the 50's 60's - not just Melbourne. Where I grew up in Perth, the fishing industry and Fish and Chip shops were pretty much dominated by Greeks. They were good at it. I don't know about now, because I now live in the UK.
Yeah basically
Second biggest greek city in the world. Much like 66M Brazilians can trace some heritage back to little old Portugal. Once the rabbits land in foreign countries they spread fast.....Yes I am Australian so please understand the comment rabbit is said in jest.....

Australia has been lucky to have Greek people move here. They are warm, kind, hard-working people.
2:00 "It's pretty much like an open-air prison here in Australia" - Um, no... it isn't, and hasn't been, for most of Australia.
The restrictions have been targeted on outbreak clusters. Melbourne has endured some of the longest and most extreme restrictions, because they keep recording high numbers of new cases. And they keep recording high numbers of new cases because a minority of total gronks keep willfully disobeying the restrictions. They also refuse to vaccinate. It's a vicious circle, and they are the ones complaining loudest about it. If we _were_ actually being run like a _prison,_ they'd all be in solitary.
Glad your finally out of lockdown. That gronk Andrews has been a real prick. The whole world despise his dictatorial style of leadership
I don't think Andrews did the best job of all the state premiers, but he wasn't as hopeless as Berejiklian.
Premier Dan Andrews is one of Australia's heroes. He has lead Victoria through a really tough time, using vaccines lockdowns and masks to manage one of the most virulent viruses in world history. He has been undermined by our opportunistic Prime Minister who talks about freedom to pick up the votes of uncooperative people who refuse to vaccinate and thus leave all the hard work to others.

Australia on the other hand is shown as the new dictatorship and used as an example to show how implementations are not so bad in Europe. So, what were you saying again?
I find this video very troubling due to the fact that the Prime Minister said, “ No one in Australia ever got Covid”. So why the need of resection? As long as no one came into Australia. But they have special reasons. Do as you’re told! Not as I do! Said the slave master
Very few people in Australia originally got covid because of the restrictions. After most of the population was vaccinated we opened up which is why we have so few deaths compared to the rest of the world.
I'm a melbourner and I am proud of how quickly we took measures and how much we protected lives. We have one of the world's lowest infection and death rates and we are proud of this. We aren't looking at a fourth wave like Germany or hundreds of thousands of dead like US and UK. in fact we look there and are grateful for our lockdowns.

I was stuck in The Philippines for the first 3 months of the pandemic, got out on an Australian sweeper flight picking up the trapped Australian tourists from PH.
It was so strict there it was all run by police and army and was 6 months jail for going out of the house without a quarantine pass(1 person in each house was allowed out for shopping once every 2-3 days and loitering was made a criminal offence, all under 18s were on 24-7 curfew for a year or more(they didn't stick to it, they were always out playing haha), 6 months for no mask in public, 6 months for breaking curfew, all no court case it started the day you where caught! It was so stick every town was surrounded on the roads by police and army with automatic rifles and shotguns.
They shut like Oz did and they are still closed to foreigners now and only allow a set a mount of filipinos in each day.
Then i got back to the UK, wow what a difference it was like a joke here and people were just carrying on as normal. The pubs were still open in the UK and all public events 10 days after in the philippines we were on military lockdown! i couldn't believe the way the UK handled it and still can't now compared to what they could of done.
I could see why my Filipino GF family were petrified of me going home as they had only had 300 dead in 3 months with all the lockdowns and restrictions while at the same time in get UK there was over 1000 a day dying.

Do the best to protect your sick and elderly, if they so choose, and get on with it. COVID doesn't kill young and healthy people. This is hysteria is nuts.
Sadly there have been some cases here in Australia where young people have died from Covid. It is not just a disease effecting the elderly people in society.
Covid can infect anyone, of any age and have serious effects. We have hundreds of people dying here every week in 2022 of all ages.
@@susanmcguire4664 There are always outliers in large sample groups, and the human population is 7.9 billion people, with about 52% being under the age of 30. The "all-cause" mortality rate for the first year of life is higher than for 45-54 year-olds. It drops from there but doesn't go to zero deaths and then rises steadily through life until it begins to go up quite dramatically from age 55+; there will always be outliers. You can't have governmental or medical policies applied to everyone in your effort to eliminate those outliers. No scenario or level of intervention will eliminate all risks.
But you can cause human harm and suffering by trying. In my state, kids and young adults have been back in school, living and socializing normally since April 27, 2020. My state's population is 10.5 million, not quite half of Australia's population. However, the area of my state is 1/50th the size of Australia. We've been wide open and living with the 'pandemic' for over 2 years. Kids and young adults haven't been dying from covid.
We had 7 pediatric deaths. Only 2 didn't have preexisting severe comorbidities (e,g, cancer). One of those two was a 5-year old that had a seizure and drowned in his bathtub, and the other was a 17-year-old boy who wrapped his car around a tree at high speed and later died at the hospital.

It’s funny how the presenter skimmed over the part where citizens weren’t allowed to leave their own country. If some Asian nation had done so it would have made headlines. The bit about the Australian Government not allowing Aussies to leave has now gotten a lot of Aussies and the entire world wondering whether Australians are still living with a prison mentality.
In part it was because we have the highest number as a proportion of our population compared to say a country in Europe or US , are immigrants so it meant had to be fairly strict because we travel a lot.

Also, the USA has far more foreign workers in their population as well as first generation immigrants - easily compared to Australia. What planet are you on…?

You are right as they helped spread the virus because no attention was given to how many people live in poor over crowded housing with poor ventilation and suburbs with no green spaces. Masks should have been mandatory from day one and then vaccines given without delay and they were not.

We have been here many times before, we open up and show the world how lucky we are only to lockdown a few months later. This is far from over
So what are you suggesting? Keep imposing lockdown for eternity until this pandemic is over? Sweden got it right!!! There's no point in extending lockdown and push people into poverty.
Not true. Don't spreak misinformation.
Cases are decreasing. A month ago there were about 2500 new daily cases. Today there are about 1500 new daily cases. More importantly, 30 days ago almost 1400 people were hospitalised with covid. Today about 500 are hospitalised.
20,000 nurses have not cancelled their resignations. Fewer than 0.1% of NSW Health staff resigned due to vax mandates. Less than 1% of Vic Health staff have refused to get vaxxed. This includes admin staff as well as nurses.

Australia could easily level certain criticisms out of Germany's history, too - but what would be the point in that given that people have moved on .. Also, as others have pointed out - restrictive lockdown really only happened in Victoria. Most of the country was pretty relaxed.

It will be very interesting what happens in the next southern hemisphere winter. The delta wave reached Australia quite late, and we know that Covid spreads fastest during winter in temperature countries due to people heading indoors. A harsh lockdown is only as meaningful as people are willing to follow the rules. There is no question it works in East and Southeast Asian countries where the vast majority follow the rules, and anti-mask protests and anti-vaxx movements are unknown. The scenes played out in Melbourne and Sydney would NEVER happen in Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul or Ho Chi Minh City. It should be apparent by now that social solidarity and the sense of social responsibility is much stronger in Asia than in the West.
That’s why Asians fell behind Europeans in innovations in technology and science, and conquered by them.
