“Hi Ben, I think it’s your shout.”
”Ok, two beers, thanks.”
“We better drink ‘em quickly before Dictator Dan gets back and shuts the whole state down.”
”Like in NSW you mean?”
”Nah, they’ve just got a stay at home order. That’s not a lockdown. Glorious Gladys doesn’t do lockdowns. She keeps the state running..”
”Actually I believe they’re calling it a lockdown now so you may have to stop calling Gladys ‘glorious’!”
“Well, even if they are locking down, it’s not really her fault.”
”How do you figure that?”
”Well all those other premiers were locking down unnecessarily when they only had a handful of cases, so she presumed that she wouldn’t have to because NSW would only be a handful of cases too.”
”Isn’t it possible that it’s because they locked down early that they only had a handful of cases?”
”I don’t think you can say that. As Scott Morrison said last year, we can’t hide under the doona forever.”
”So why is he in quarantine?”
”He just wants to keep us all safe.”
”Then why didn’t he vaccinate us all sooner? It sure looks like it should have been a race.”
”You just jump on any chance to criticise the Liberals. Thanks to Scomo we’re all a lot safer. Those vaccines are so dangerous they’re going to stop administering them after October.”
”That’s just Astra Zeneca. And even it’s got a much lower death rate than Covid, which I seem to remember you telling me was such a small death rate that we shouldn’t worry.”
”Yeah, but you can’t help getting Covid whereas you can refuse a vaccine because they’re all dangerous. Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer have been alerting people to the fact that over two hundred people in Australia have died after getting the jab.”
”That doesn’t mean that the vaccination caused the deaths. I mean, if you get hit by a bus on the way home from the vaccination centre, you died after getting the injection but it doesn’t mean that Astra Zeneca was the cause.”
”Well, it does because if you didn’t go there you’d have been safe at home.”
“Like when we have a lockdown?”
”Ha ha.”
”Look, heaps of the first people to get vaccinated were in aged care, so that suggests that they were old and likely to be near death in many cases. I mean, Prince Phillip got a jab and then he died. Are you suggesting that the vaccination was responsible?”
”Seems likely!”
”What? He was 99!!”
”Exactly. He’d lived ninety nine years and then dies a few weeks after getting one. Can’t be coincidence.”
“Hang on, weren’t you saying just a few weeks ago that there was lots of people who were being diagnosed as having been killed by Covid when it they could have died of something else and they just happened to have the virus so the death rates were a lot lower than we were being told?”
”Yeah. So?”
”Well, that’s the exact opposite of what you’re now saying about the vaccines. You’re saying because the two things happen then there has to be a link whereas a few weeks ago you were saying that there was no link. This means that you re changing your argument to suit your beliefs.”
“So are you. If you didn’t accept that there were deaths that were blamed on the virus you can’t now say that all these people dying from injections and buses are just some coincidence.”
”That’s not exactly what I’m saying.”
”Well, what are you saying?”
”I’m not sure any more.”
”Whatever. I don’t think we should trust the government because they’re in the pocket of Big Pharma and they just want to make money.”
“Whereas Scotty from Marketing and Gladys the Great are insisting on keeping the economy open because that’s the way to keep most people healthy.”
”What about people’s mental health when you have a lockdown. Lots of people got very depressed and suicidal when they lost their business or their job.”
”Interesting that you had no interest in people’s mental health when I talked to you about Robodebt.”
”Ok, the point I was making is that those people were probably depressed anyway because they’d been unemployed so they were likely to kill themselves whereas the people I’m talking about are only depressed because of the government shutdown.”
”I’ve finished my beer. It must be your shout this time.”
”Speaking of shout, did you see the clip of Barnaby giving it to Labor in Parliament? Magnificent.”
”Just buy me the beer. If you going to talk about Joyce being Deputy PM, I’m going to need a drink.”
