Victoria's Chief Health Minister has been forced to insist coronavirus is not a 'conspiracy' as she revealed more than 10,000 Victorians have refused COVID-19 testing in the past week.

Victoria's Chief Health Minister has been forced to insist coronavirus is not a "conspiracy" as she revealed more than 10,000 Victorians have refused COVID-19 testing in the past week. Chief Health MinisterJenny Mikakos said the data would be analysed to determine why people were refusing testing as the state conducted a major blitz across 36 locked-down suburbs.

"It is concerning that the report I have received is that some people believe coronavirus is a conspiracy or it won't impact on them," Ms Mikakos said. "I want to stress coronavirus is a very contagious virus, it can go through your family very quickly. "So those individuals in those communities that have not been tested, we're urging them to be tested as quickly as possible.

Nobody trusts labor or liberals....Who's fault do you think that is..trust is like virginity YOU ONLY get it once...You HAVE screwed our country now YOU wish to screw us..not

That’s because the msm has cried wolf so many times , now people now don’t know who or what to believe. They have lost complete faith in the media FakeNews EpsteinDidntKillHimself

Just proves how dumb the general population are

Sky News viewers? COVIDIOTS

What sort of deadly disease is it when you only know you might have got it by having a test? Its all bollox. Testing is being used to give the illusion of a rise in infections, which is in turn used to maintain Lockdown. SAY NO TO TESTING!!

What a disgrace. All the healthcare workers that are looking after your friends and family and those who are extremely sick from this virus, in hospitals, under supervision and in ICU on a ventilator and you believe this of a conspiracy? What must they think?

Who refuses testing their names should be taken and if they get infected and need hospitalization they should pay full costs for treatment and if they infected someone else they should pay for their treatment as well. It’s pandemic, it’s selfish and disrespectful to other people

Good!!! Eff these tests

That means there are at least 10,000 smart people in Victoria 👏

Have you researched HCQ to see how many other diseases or illnesses, that it's being researched for helping, yet? Do this, and you'll be AMAZED!!!!!!! Is that why there's so much negativity towards it, and the politicians, medico's & media, don't sing it's praises, for 'helping'?

Neither is the fact that it has a less than 1% fatality rate

Great to see that people are finally waking up to this scam. Faith in humanity restored.

Why wasn’t it taken serious when the protests were going on 🤔

🤬🇦🇺

Victoria. The stupid State.

Meanwhile it was people on Sky News such as Andrew Bolt who kept minimising it and calling for everything to reopen - using the Dictator Dan nickname Sky News is just LNP opinions hosts

Change of tune You were championing to open up the economy quickly as Coronavirus was under control and that state governments were over reacting. Your ideology is showing through!

Those who refuse testing should be treated as though they have Covid. They should be forced to self isolate. And by the way, the Victorian border should be shut! It is rudiculous to leave it open and jeopardise the good place the rest of Australia has achieved.

Take names and tax file numbers please.

I certainly wouldn't believe anything that Mikakos or Andrews say. They are liars and will throw anyone under the bus not to be held accountable

Good. Don’t waste medical resources when they do get sick.

Why can't we make compulsory testing law coronavirus australia auspol2020

Oh yes it is

yeah I wont be part of your bragging numbers and political game to say see look at all the testing bullshit, if I feel sick I go to the Dr ... piss off and leave healthy people alone

I don’t see what the issue is. You could refuse testing in quarantine so why make this an issue.

So why be tested if you have no symptoms? Oh but you can be infected without symptoms .. Oh OK so then it had no effect on you then... make it up as you go... Seems the perfect small gene pool cleanser virus then.

The lockdown should be permanent until all are tested.

I am stunned we have so many idiots in Victoria 🤦‍♀️😡🤦‍♀️😡

round them up and ship them off to christmas island

'refused' it's all about the wording. I read 'choose not to'

A demonstration of the very low IQ of people in Northern and Western Melbourne.

Victoria's Health Minister is on the Big Pharma payroll, it's not just 10,000 Victorians, it's all Australians & Pete Evans who can't believe this B S coronavirus H O A X anymore. COVID19 is no worse than the Flu. Open the economy & let's get back to normal. auspol

We need mandatory tests to see if every person in government is a blackmailed pedo.

Download the app! Why don't you trust us? (APP caught a total of ZERO cases but they got the data of 6 million people.... ) Take our shit test even if you don't feel sick and prove your innocence to us! Why don't 10,000 people trust us?

WWG1WGA05855675 Yes it is, well done! Explain how a, paw paw fruit tested postive explain erring dust masks, and surgical masks to stop a virus explain why people are really dying! Explain why people were dropping in the street in wuhan but nowhere else!? EXPLAIN!!!

I hope the Fruit that tested positive got better!

There have been so many instances of contaminated tests around the world, I think people should be well informed on what they’re possibly risking by taking them.

Pau2Pau7 Yes it is

Sky News peddles nothing but conspiracies. There is a high probability that most of these nutjobs refusing testing are devotees of Your fake news!

BeattieNgiare F*ck Pete Evans, in particular.

Why?

Its rare I see no 'CCP' related comments here. I feel obliged to feed now, In China people cannot refuse testing, your turn.

People have the RIGHT to refuse your Orwellian rules!

That's hard to believe.

Yet there Victorian borders are still open for the rest of Australia to catch the virus infection as well.

No point being tested if you have no symptoms 💁‍♀️

Sure sure

Where would they get that idea?

God bless all those who have declined to have their DNA sampled... There may be hope for Victoria...

Calling Bullshit on that number of people refusing a test sounds like JennyMikakos jenn DanielAndrewsMP shifting blame

This is just lies. Why is this allowed to be done by news agenda? Australia is not free. We must rebel.

Selfish Bastards... Put the discomfort of a noseswab before the health of their elderly relatives.... No wonder they have a flog like CoronaDan as Premier...

And all the conspiracy theorists are here at sky news, who would have thought?

Thats funny... Who ' forced' her? Did she use the line.. 'trust me.. Im a Doctor '..

It's funny how the same people that refused to download the Covid safe app because they didn't trust the government are now demanding mandatory testing for these people.

Now I’m the first guy who would take up arms if I saw cops police knocking on my door and ordering me to stay inside. But those 10,000 idiots should be forecfully tested

Yeah, because the entire globe just decides to shut down and completely destroy their own economies for a conspiracy. Bloody hell, some people are unbelievable.

Hopefully many more people start waking up too this hoax, keep refusing stick it to them 👍

The Truth will all come out when ScottyFromMarketing reveals he is Q! TheGreatAwakening is close. COVID19Vic is a hoax and BillGatesBioTerrorist will be brought to justice. QanonsAustralia be prepared. SkyNewsFail will be your guide. Start your Biochargers NOW!

VICTORIA is proving it's self to be the dummist state in Australia

And has anyone as the Premiers of other states how many have refused

They should be fined for pure stupidity

Start learning the Constitution and telling the truth now before you also will be done for pushing false information as a media outlet! Here you go Australia READ and LEARN your RIGHTS AS sovereign people of the land! FactsMatter TruthMatters MAGA WWG1WGA_WORLDWIDE AussieQ

Is she going to have a Captain Cook at it?

Idiots on skyafterdark are responsible blood on there hands..

No conspiracy. Just people who realise that there is no need to force testing on them, or take away their freedom and potentially their income over a virus that has a 98.54 recovery rate. 117 people have died on or roads this year, why aren't we locking down cars?

DictatorDan CedarAndrews

We just don’t understand why there are lockdowns for significantly low infection rates and even lower mortality rates. The flu numbers were much worse than this in previous years and there were no lockdowns. Why?

Say what you want health minister we don’t think it’s a conspiracy we KNOW it is. You have no jurisdiction over living men and women. Show us your authority. Treason TickTock CrimesAgainstHumanity PS: there is no stopping the truth from coming out lightwins

Q SENT US ALL 🙏🇦🇺🇺🇸🗽🌏🌺

doing what it does best...dividing Australians. The virus does not respect political ideologies.

I want to laugh

Q Sent me

Make a list of those who refused testing. If and when the time comes that they need medical help due to contracting the virus, just knock them back.

Bet they're inflating numbers exactly the way USA has been forced to. They count anyone with mild symptoms as likely cases. It's truly sick and a great way to ruin an economy! Who benefits from Victoria being in shutdown? $$$$$ go to who?

Or, you could help all of Australia, by setting the Truth free re: H.C..Q. President Trump was correct, yet again!! realDonaldTrump

PS. Go and read the Constitution. Section 51(xxiiiA), referendum in 1946, added, No Civil Conscription for Medical & Dental. learn it, read it, and make sure you do your duty to tell the people of Australia it. Constitution, Supreme Law of the land. Not politicians, or the media!

Wake up! People aren't saying there's no virus at all. The are saying, it's been hyped up and blown out of proportions, than what it is, and used to push agendas. It's lethality has dropped to Bad Flu level, and it's on it's way to between a cold and flu. Stop with the agendas!

Well why doesn't she just prove her knowledge with actual experiments, to show us it is what she said, May find it difficult to prove that virus cells don't come from inside the body as exosomes released by the body & r not contagious, Prove It. 🙄🤔

Wilful ignorance should not be tolerated... Murdoch media is grist for the gullible !

What part of the mishandling, bungling, exaggerating is a conspiracy 🤣🤣😂😂😳 none it's all part of it & if your a medical expert & think it's real, maybe you should try another field like packing shelves, don't you think 🤔🙄INCOMPETENT.

Do you know why people died of Virus? Because CCP made it and dropped it . If you need to know more . Please Google for “War Room Pandemic ”

might seem harsh now but lock refusers down...civil disobedience must end in this case and the self iso is a policy fail clearly!

Jenny literally said 'it's not my department'. She refuses to take responsibility for anything wrong. I have never ever seen such backpedalling.

Well does anyone know anyone that has had this virus cause I certainly don’t

forced to insist coronavirus is not a 'conspiracy' Yeah, until you actually look into the data. REMINDER: PCR tests CANNOT specifically identify or isolate SARS-CoV-2. So essentially, the testing procedure is complete garbage. Scamdemic

Bullshit

That’s right we see through the bullshit

Are you sure it isn’t a conspiracy?

🤣 Darwinism

If the media was not trying to divide the nation and play a blame game to get ratings we would be much better off. The media fuels this division and all outlets need to put forward information to help our leaders not try to pay a blame game to get viewers it’s not the time

Fact that so many people refused test is good to know. People waking up en masse! AussieQ

maybe we expect better of govt & health dept management of virus clusters allowed to blow out with govt spin 'handled absolutely perfectly' & protestors immune from enforcement. The debarcle that is hotel quarantine is the final straw. The VIC health minister must resign auspol
