Institute of Public Affairs- Australia’s Covid-19 Pandemic Response Failed Us

The direct economic, fiscal and inflationary cost of pandemic measures stand at $938.4 billion as at the end of the 2021-22 financial year.

Students have suffered significant setbacks, particularly in Victoria where Year 9 students reading and numeracy skills have fallen behind by 12 weeks and 17 weeks, respectively.

The costs of joblessness and not working on life expectancy as a result for the first nationwide lockdowns in March and April 2020 were 31 times greater than the maximum possible benefits of all lockdowns.

  1. Yeah, who knew, right?

    Besides, you know, all us non-experts…

    Two take-aways from that article:

    “Our hospitals are already full of other respiratory viruses”

    Yeah, its called an immunity deficit, dolts. The non-COVID stuff doesn’t go away, it hibernates because it can’t find enough hosts because of masking and social distancing. When you stop masking and social distancing because you believe the vauxxines work…kids start getting sick.

    “The medical fraternity warned staff shortages had been caused by the state’s over-reliance on international and interstate workers, who were now unable to come because of COVID-19 border restrictions.”

    Yeah, you morons, shutting down the borders will do that…

    1. They knew it too. All of the previously established protocols for how to properly handle a pandemic were thrown out the window for Covid-19. All of the decades worth of sober, well thought out, peer reviewed planning…. erased in an instant and replaced with knee jerk, fear based, profit driven agendas. It was horrifying to witness worldwide corruption at the expense of human lives blossoming in real-time.

      1. Yep.

        Here in Thug Fraud’s Ontario, we had an “off the shelve” playbook after SARS…of course, once something is done, consultants can’t make any money unless you throw it out…

    2. I get paid over $85 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.

  2. They didn’t like the communist actions of a “Conservative” so they voted in a communist.
    Where else have we seen this? NZ CAN GB USA etc.

    1. There was one! South Korea. On March 13th, 2020, the Korean government published a study on Google Docs (so the whole world could see it, fast) saying Chloroquine cures and may even prevent covid.

      So, one.

  4. Yup – Adam Carola’s take on why they did this to the kids:
    ““You cannot train a dog when it’s middle-aged. You’ve got to get them when they’re puppies. And get them trained up and into that crate. And that’s what we’re doing with kids. Because this will not be the last emergency. And it will not be the last time the government and the governor and the mayor need to exact their power. … And so, ‘Let’s get the kids into the crate. Let’s get them coached up. And then, they’ll be ours. We can do whatever we want with them after that. They’ll listen to anything. They’ll be good subjects.’”

  5. I think the most serious consequence of the lockdown and their over the top enforcement is the destruction of national trust and pride.
    There are a lot of folks there who are disgusted, not by their government but by their nations behaviour. It shakes ones patriotism and faith in civilization to discover that we are a bad flu away from totalitarianism. It shakes it even more to see how many of our countrymen were willing participants in it .

  6. About that..I got a 4000 dollar tv and a five dollar a hour raise.. As well as not missing a single pay cheque.. Understand?.. Not everybody suffered financially under covid.. I still hate them though..

  7. Just like the rest of the world , excess deaths are running 20%+ above normal in Australia. Doctors and politicians are apparently mystified. Well maybe just the Doctors, some of them. The politicians just pretend its not there.

    The extremely fit Australian scientist, who hiked, biked and surfed at Sydney’s Manly Beach, had been bolstered by four doses of vaccine. Having spent nearly four decades studying how white blood cells in the immune system protect us from infection, he felt pretty safe about removing his mask.
    “Maybe it would be better to catch the ’rona and get it over with, now that I’m fully vaccinated?” he remembers speculating.
    “After all, isn’t it just a cold in fully immunized people? And once I’ve had it, won’t I have acquired immunity that will mean I won’t get sick at all if I get it again?”
    But Omicron made a mockery of these popular assumptions.
