Pandemics Bookended Our Careers

 There have been five pandemics inflicted on Australia.

• The pandemic phase of 2-3 years was followed by years of endemic disease: bubonic plague continued in Australia for over 20 years, H1N1 flu (1918) was the dominant seasonal isolate until the 1950s (and recurred post-2000), while the H3N2 Hong Kong isolate continues to dominate seasonal outbreaks.

Comments on Covid-19

• The surprise was not the pandemic, but its cause. Coronaviruses were part of life with regular mild airways infections.
• We expected-even trained for-the next flu pandemic.
• The balance of evidence favors laboratory manipulation to enhance pathogenicity rather than "escape" from a non-human host in the Wuhan wet markets.

Comments on Pandemic Management

• The pandemic could have been handled much better
• Previous pandemics lasted about two years before settling into a low-level endemic phase
• Repeated vaccination over short periods gives progressively less benefit, and for shorter periods, due to stimulation of T reg (suppressor) cells
• Covid outcomes claimed by the pharmaceutical industry, and the suppression of effective, cheap, safe and available therapies, were driven by a "narrative" developed by those making vaccines (and $100 billion per year).
• Control by industry and bureaucrats was possible because the structure of medicine no longer supported or controlled the practice of medicine. The laws of science in medicine and of the doctor-patient relationship were at risk of compromise

Where is All This Going?

• We are locked into a narrative with no apparent way out. Abuse, rhetoric and deregistration are tools used to control doctors challenging poorly spaced booster programs, or who express concern over damage caused by genetic vaccines.
• The scariest thing is that doctors most at risk are those who insist on ensuring patients give informed consent after consideration of vaccine risks. This is a basic requirement of the doctor-patient relationship, and paradoxically insisted on by the same authorities who cancel registration for doing the same.
