ASIA PACIFIC TODAY

We shouldn’t be surprised that this pandemic has exposed immorality, callousness and incompetence of Government. So, should we be surprised that State sanctioned censorship is very evident in this environment. In the US, advice from the Nation’s chief medical advisor has swung from one extreme to another with no explanation; Government policies have been contradictory and, in some cases, dangerous - in New York City, leading to deaths of the elderly and now on the Southern border. There’s been manipulation of Covid19 statistics, and targeted suppression by Big Tech and mainstream media. In Australia, things are not much better. As in the US, there has been little accountability of Government, even in Victoria where bungled hotel quarantine led to hundreds of deaths. No scientific evidence has been offered anywhere to justify widespread lockdowns and the trampling of individual freedoms. We’ve also witnessed the silencing of eminent medical experts seeking to provide evidence-based information to save lives? Why in Australia and the USA, in contrast to many other countries, is there no early treatment for Covid19 and why aren’t responsible members of the Federal Government and practicing experts not allowed to talk about it? And what's next, we cant ask questions about these new and very expensive vaccines? By the way, the bungling continues in Victoria. Victorian authorities have held crisis talks over the worsening United Kingdom mutant strain outbreak in Melbourne, with now a new lockdown. Authorities are not only concerned about the growing Holiday Inn cluster, but they are worried about virus fragments detected in wastewater across Melbourne. There were reports that Emergency Management Victoria feared they had lost control of the outbreak — describing scenes of “pandemonium” at the agency. There's even evidence of staff not wearing PPE in the quarantine hotels. Chairman Dan Andrews and his incompetent politburo need to go now. And for gods sake, can't the media anywhere in the world start doing their job instead of being the voice of Government and Big Tech.
