#auspol #covid19aus notice that the same patterns occur both nationally and internationally. The virus outbreaks triggered in wealthier areas, with few restrictions. It spreads to poorer areas, who are then corralled and left to die. /1 https://t.co/g34gE1tUc6

Just as an Ebola outbreak in Africa has us scrambling to lock the Africans in, an outbreak in the West of Sydney has us doing the same. Maximum freedom for the privileged in the East, maximum restriction for the poor out West. /2

Right now rich countries agitating to restore their ‘freedoms’, their ridiculously obsessive travel culture. Their freedom to travel at will throughout the world. Turning other people’s homes into holidays. This is after germinating this pandemic in their own countries…/3

…failing to control it, so that it spread everywhere, then hogging all of the world’s vaccines to try to save themselves. Now they’re jabbed, they want it all flung open again, while the vast majority of the world is being smashed by the virus inflicted upon them. /4

The hysteria over vaccination speed in Australia disgusts me for just this reason, our global view disappeared the second vaccines arrived. We have the resources to maintain control of this virus, while we implement a truly global pandemic strategy. /5

But nobody gives a fuck. Give me that jab, I want to get back on planes. To get the Economy moving, restore my cashflow. Let’s even lock down the Westies, but light touch the Eastern suburbs life. Big tax cuts coming for them. /6

Most expertise has begun to disgust me for the same reason, so hopelessly and narrowly focused on a few health concepts, slicing and dicing data every day. This is a political event, playing out in all the usual ways. All the same people will be screwed. /end
