Australian Health Minister Quietly Backs Ivermectin

How ever did we win World War II? Were we always this fearful and risk-averse? Or are we reaping the grim harvest of generations raised in padded cells by an obsessively safety-first culture? Once, at least some of us seemed to really believe that “Who Dares, Wins”. The

Led by the nose by a shameless media pack, Australians have swung from panicking that Covid vaccines were going to kill us all, to insisting they’re the absolute greatest thing, ever.

Aussie Gives up the Ghost
