Pfizer’s reply to President Trump’s very reasonable call for transparency of data regarding their latest edition of their modified-mRNA Covid injections is nothing less than an insult to the intelligence of every reader, including the President himself.

The language continues to contradict previous WHO understanding and public health norms, promoting whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches rather than proportionate measures that minimize long-term harm, and ignores the basic policy requirement of considering any resource allocations against other competing priorities.

No, Australia’s “trust in institutions” has not served it well during this period. What has happened is that we have seen how corrupt and/or incompetent the people in charge of our institutions really are, and – to our horror – how our misplaced trust in those institutions has led to an abject failure of our systems of democratic oversight and accountability.

Within days of the pandemic’s inception, criticism of lockdowns and other restrictions became conflated with right-wing politics. This put lefties in a bind: if they didn’t support the restrictions, they might be mistaken (the horror!) for a conservative—or worse, a soldier in Orange Man’s army. They latched onto the mask, the left-wing answer to the MAGA hat, as a badge of their political allegiance.

Why not offer voters “freedom from the Constitution?” “Freedom from fear” means security via mass delusions about the nature of political power. Perhaps our ruling class should replace the Bill of Rights: “Political buncombe will make you free.”

The international humiliation inflicted so publicly on Djokovic in pursuit of vaccine apartheid was morally corrupt. It lacked both scientific justification and hard data in support. It indulged a government’s every illiberal instinct to control information and bully people into compliance.
