People are entitled to think there is an ‘agenda to destroy western society’: Alan Jones July 23, 2020 | Sky News Australia

NOTES & MY COMENTS

*But I don’t see how Trump has done anything to stop these policies.

*Alan presents global death statistics to put things in perspective (3:58)
625,000+ COVID-19 deaths
7.2 Million+ Communicable Disease Deaths
4.5 Million+ Cancer Deaths

Australia: 172 people in hospital in Australia, 165 in Victoria! 42 Australians in intensive care, 40 of those in Victoria!

Irresponsibility

*Alan mentions how destructive the lockdown policies have been to Australian industries. It’s just incredible.

*He quotes statements made by Dr John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine, of Health Research and Policy and of Biomedical Data Science, at Stanford University School of Medicine and a Professor of Statistics at Stanford University School of Humanities and Sciences.

3. June article by FEE (https://fee.org/articles/world-leading-infectious-disease-expert-government-lockdowns-must-end/) about his statements on the lockdowns. It refers to others who have criticized this policy also.

4. His August 5 statements (https://www.thenationalherald.com/community_usa_nextgen/arthro/dr_john_ioannidis_now_we_know-434735/). He refers to the initial, absurd “predictions” of overflowing hospitals and 50 million dead as “unrealistic” and “pessimistic” but I would use much stronger language than that. I’m including Dr. Ioannidis statements to show you that experts disagree with the policies, not because I agree with all of their points of view. No official, expert, academic or politician has the right to do what has been done to us.
