WHAT DID HE REALLY DIE OF

ABC used to be a source of trust, these days just another bad joke. Why was his vaccinated status not made known, and why did ABC News not press for his status? 'His vaccination status has not been released, but health authorities confirmed he had underlying health conditions.'

Source of NSW Omicron cluster identifiedThe source of NSW’s growing Omicron Covid-19 cluster has been discovered, with more cases of the new variant confirmed overnight. Q: How do you spot the propaganda disinformation teams on social media? A: The amount of dipshit similar linked, grouped & aligned accounts mass flood replying on COVID posts by ANY media source. **Tip: Almost all will have an identical [if not a direct copy/paste] style post.

Omicron variant doesn't seem to cause more severe disease, top WHO official saysOmicron does not appear to cause more severe disease than previous COVID-19 variants, and is 'highly unlikely' to fully dodge vaccine protections, a top WHO official says. WHO has failed to prevent pandemic. They seriously make this shit up as they go along. They cannot possibly be seen to admit they were wrong. Studies in South Africa suggest otherwise. At the end of the day mass jabbing isn’t going to bring herd immunity and that’s what’s required to move out of pandemic Only took Their media 7 days of crazy fear porn to hear what anyone listening heard at the start. I pay for this bloody ministry of truth, or used to until they sacked me, but can we not get one!!! just one!!! honest journalist? Just one!!!
