With Omicron winding down in several parts of the world, it is good to look at how various countries have dated against COVID-19. Australia in particular, with its extreme “zero tolerance” policies, warrants a bit of scrutiny.
For all the government bluster, the data shows the vaccines were no more than marginally effective (if that) at preventing either disease and/or death. For this Australia cast aside fundamental human rights and basic civil liberties.
How Has Pharmaceutical Authoritarianism Served Australia?
With Omicron winding down in several parts of the world, it is good to look at how various countries have dated against COVID-19. Australia in particular, with its extreme “zero tolerance” policies, warrants a bit of scrutiny.
Australia is one of the more highly vaccinated countries, with nearly 80% of the population vaccinated.
How did vaccination impact case counts? It didn't. Especially once Omicron arrived.
Did the vaccines help against COVID-19 mortality? Not especially.
For all the government bluster, the data shows the vaccines were no more than marginally effective (if that) at preventing either disease and/or death. For this Australia cast aside fundamental human rights and basic civil liberties.
Was it worth it?
