At least according to a senior Australian health official.
It won’t matter if you’re vaccinated, double-jabbed or whatever apparently, even to levels of 80% or more in the eligible population. The future will be one of Covid-19 booster shots forever, masks indoors and outdoors, social distancing, and with the occasional lockdown thrown in anyway – just in case.
We’ve had similar language used here in New Zealand by Professor Michael Baker…
“University of Otago epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker told Stuff we may never return to level 1, with mask wearing becoming a feature of our lives for the foreseeable future.”
“Unfortunately this is the new reality,” he said.”
“There isn’t a utopia of living with the virus in the future. It may be quite grim.”
… so I guess the following could be our future as well.
What’s the limiting principle here? How much tyranny is acceptable in the name of “saving lives,” and where does it end?
Based on what I’ve seen and heard of our politicians here, our Public Health leaders, senior police and 75% of the voters, plus the uselessness of our Bill of Rights and the courts who make judgements on it, I think what we’re seeing in Australia is in our future as well.
