'Dangerous Dan is wrong about compulsory facemasks': Alan Jones | Sky News Australia

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews recently said, "we will be wearing masks until at least the end of the year and into next year.” “This is one of those trade-offs. If we are going to have that ring of steel gone on November 8 and we're going to have people travelling into regional Victoria and vice versa, masks need to be with us across the whole state for some time to come, it is a very low price to pay for potentially a very significant, a very significant benefit,” he said.

" "The mask mandate idea is a truly ridiculous, knee jerk reaction and needs to be withdrawn and thrown in the wastebin of disastrous policy, along with lockdowns and school closures,” Mr Koops said. "In the open environment, no one should be wearing face coverings. This is the one place where we can get an assist from nature to help reduce the virus molecules.

Dan the Man for PM.

I’m getting a bit over Sydney wankers telling us what to do in Melbourne. “No scientific evidence that masks work” How about 725 cases/day to zero. That fkn scientific enough for you. Wear a fkn mask.

Let me get this straight Trump is being condemned for mass Covid death yet we’re at 0 cases and you’re condemning Dan Tell the people to go mask-less in England or America right now. Yes it’s been rough here but we’re mostly still here We’ll make our own decisions thanks.

Is Alan ever right about anything other than hating people who disagree with him?

Alan Jones is wrong again.

Why was Alan Jones employment terminated from Kings school?

I know Jones dabbles in brain surgery but this is a bit out of his league.

Dan was right about staying the course will bring the numbers down , modeling was spot on, masks worked, lockdowns worked , leaders worldwide are praising him , the only thing dangerous is your Murdoch peddling rubbish.

Why are the artificially keeping Alan Jones' body still alive?

You mean the Alan Jones that sent love letters to school boys? Nah, I really don't give a fuck what that old paedo says.

Why would I care what some radio announcer thinks?

MurdochRoyalCommission MurdochFreeMelbourne Sign the petition to get rid of the lies from Murdoch Minions

Alan Jones? Right. Expert on precisely nothing. Poor, sad, irrelevant, hateful attention-junkie. Doling out advice supported by zero data. No training in epidemiology. I guess morons have to listen to someone. Huh!

Poor old irrelevant dear. Tell him we`ve signed the petition for assisted euthanasia and given them his name and they are on their way

Jones would know, wouldn't he? 🙄

Is any topic or area that Alan Jones is not an instant expert ? Quite astonishing that man’s grasp of complex world or domestic events , his incredible knowledge and self belief . What a shame that it’s all make-believe and arse about . Can’t shut the wanker up ,

Alan Jones clearly wants as many Victorians and Australians dead as possible, is he jealous of the tolls overseas? MurdochRoyalCommission MurdochFreeMelbourne MurdochFreeAustralia

Alan you’re irrelevant in this day and age. Why aren’t you and SKY going on about ScoMo deaths in Aged Care and Robodebt At last count about 3600+.

The same doctors that have kept this clown alive disagree.

Where we and where are we going. The global economic reset. Davos Economic Forum

'says Alan Jones' immediately disqualifies the preceeding statement from bearing any resemblance to fact.

The results from this ‘natural experiment in Kansas are clear. Masks save lives

Is that Doctor Alan Jones, the entomologist?

Can’t wait for MurdochFreeAustralia

Isn’t there a public toilet somewhere Alan wants to visit

Bugger off Jones ..masks have made a big difference and they should stay

Is this the type of 'journalism' that you kids gave yourselves a participation media award for?

You are generating the best evidence for the Royal Commission.

Poor Alan obviously hasn't been following the Vic case numbers then - mustn't be very good reception/comms in that hermitically sealed bunker he's holed up in (along with the pretty boy 'butt'ler)... TightFit 😳

perhaps Alan would like to display his newly-acquired epidemiology degree.

Boom. And with this article ANOTHER few 1000 signatures will hit the petition. Good Job. Keep it up. OwnGoal MurdochFreeMelbourne MurdochFreeAustralia MurdochRoyalCommission

This argument makes no sense. Or has any connection to reality.

Because Alan Jones is qualified to give that opinion? Honestly pull your head in MurdochRoyalCommission notjournalism IStandWithDan

Alan Jones should head outside of a late evening, look upwards and shout out his opinions to the stars. I’m sure it will give him some perspective on their substance!

Pity Jones is still alive , hey?

Alan Jones should wear a face mask just because of his face

Never ceases to amaze me how has to rely on the like of Jones, Bernardi, Credlin et al to support their toxic views. All a bunch of self-entitled has-beens.

Why should he sight anybody when his medical team is responsible source of his action. Inferiority usually pushes people to delve in unknown territory, Victoria is not the only place masks are recommended - expect by Messrs Jones & his sources. Critique is no solution Sir.

Fact check. Sign the petition

Last time I looked, Jones had no medical qualifications. I’ll ignore him. Again.

GrimmondKen Andrew’s is an embarrassment when their is no scientific proof they will protect in open spaces.

Alan Jones is wrong on this. Alan Jones is always wrong. Alan Jones is just fake Liberal-Murdoch propaganda bullshit.

Says Alan Jones from.his quarantine post in the Central Highlands.

If the consensus expert advice is to wear masks, then we should wear masks. COVID-19 doesn't respect politics, but the data shows overwhelmingly that it responds to good science, including in Australia. We don't want a repeat of the European summer here.

Old man fail. There is ample scientific evidence from across the world of the value of face masks.

What medical degree does ALLEN Jones hold ?

Dan owns a face mask factory I expect .

Nope! It's good advice, now. Many of us suspected early on that masks would be important, we now know that most of the spread is aerosol, which makes masks the best way to control spread.

The mask debate is conducted in an ‘either/or’ context. In reality it is not black or white. Wearing a mask can help to protect other people. But wearing a mask can also exacerbate the risks. Both true. So limit masks to high risk internal environments only.

There’s so much conflicting evidence on masks, most of it persuasive either way. So how about mandating masks only in internal public spaces only? Shops, public transport etc

Fuck Alan jones he is just fear mongering, the masks aren’t the problem.

If Alan Jones had been sailing on the Titanic he would have been telling the passengers not to worry. It's just an iceberg.

For real. 😳 He is an expert? Expert idiot is all he is. Can Sky News sink any lower?

Alan Jones - well-worn Murdoch cock-holster. Retirement package includes surgical reconstruction of trauma-prolapsed poop-chute.

Face masks is a key prevention tool bossPeople's lives matter.

Just wear a fecking mask!

I am absolutely agreed with Dan on the mandate wearing mask rule until next year ! Good decision !

Makes you sick breathing your own bacteria. We need fresh air. Vit D. How stupid riding a bike beside the sea walking dog the park you can’t catch it distancing we are now aliens From Mars can’t smile can’t communicate properly feeling sick just another control zombie city

The only time I watch Sky News in NZ is the morning news just to keep up being an ex Aussie. But as the day goes the crazier it gets. I just think they get paid to cause trouble. Balanced it is not...

whatgoesaroundcomesaround

Nobody gives a fuck what Alan Jones says

Certain European countries have made wearing face masks compulsory now after enduring second and third waves of this pandemic. I suppose they are wrong too

Now I am getting some Idea why some people offenders most of the rules like traffic lights ,speeding and many more. They even can't take to use the mask which is for thier protection and for others. It shows the selfish of this so called modern world.

Says Alan Jones....FUCKING LOL

DumbassDan, introduced no face shields restrictions even as covid cases were falling significantly.. Signs numbers only matter if it suit his agenda.. He also claimed if numbers fall bellow 5 detected cases, then this changed to active cases.. Too much contradiction!

The communist party of dan Andrews needs to be sacked the lot of them.

Then what would Big Al have done then?¿?¿

Guess what, Alan ... You are wrong!

Ahhh, Alan Jones, the font of all wisdom.

Says he isolated in his mansion

Taking medical advice from a public toilet cruiser?

Is there truth to rumour that someone has an ongoing passion for the odd donutdick?

DictatorDan LockdownDan

Here is the doctors opinions from one of the oldest and most respected medical journals in the world.....but I guess Alan knows better in Sky's opinion

Stop bullying Daniel Andrews

Well we should just employ AntiFactAlan as our chief medical expert then! 🏥 Sky’sTheLimit

What the hell would Alan Jones know about face masks ?

Most masks don’t work, unless used properly - which most people don’t. They all let in smaller amounts of virus in and to allow us to build an immunity. Haven’t we been building up our micro immunities for long enough now?

The World Health Organisation disagrees.

Alan jones wouldn’t know shit from clay ! When did he study medicine ?

Alan Jones you must be smarter than majority scientists and doctors in the world 🌎.Just for your knowledge scientists and doctors come to conclusion after vigorous testing that masks are single most important thing in fight of pandemic. Virus is spread by droplets 💧 in the air

Sky, you forgot to tag Dan in DanielAndrewsMP Alan, have you tried Tim Smith’s donuts? 🍩

Scientific tests have proven Masks do not work against the FLU or Covid 19 Viruses. The Viruses are so tiny they can pass through the Mask as you breathe in and out. Also the continual use of Masks can cause a loss of oxygen in the bloodstream which may lead to brain damage.

If only they could find a sound proof mask for Alan.

Can you please tell me what Alan Jones qualifications are to make a statement like that

AussieFedUp as Alan would probably be aware of. Anthony Fauci said no to masks. Easy to see why!

No mask!!

How could advocating wearing face masks during an air-borne pandemic EVER be a controversial, political issue Go and volunteer in an infectious disease ward, Alan.

‘Sky News’ = opinions that are bought from Murdoch/Liberal. Hardly any ACTUAL news comes out of Sky news.

He’s not wrong about face masks. Ask the US.

alan jones is a complete moron i read what was said by researchers and mask do give for 90% protection guess this liar left this out just a tad of selective amnesia

Who actually listens to the PILLOW BITER!

Well, if there are zero cases now,what are masks for. Maybe to protect people with no symptoms from other people with no symptoms...crazy.

People can only enter my household on the condition they must REMOVE their mask first!! 😷🤮🤮🤮🤮

Congratulations to all health care workers and front line people in Victoria and also in NSW and other states for keeping the public safe from the virus, the virus deniers, the self interested and some politicians.

Thanks Dr Alan Jones. When can I come in for my annual colonoscopy?

Is that Dr Jones?

Alan, we need the masks so we can all just get on with our lives & getonthebeers . Stop talking.

you idiots just got unfollowed

Vile Andrews is a sick puppy!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Masks are an act of humiliation and attack on our human right to breathe. Anyone accepting this is basically brainless.

Of course alan jones is a health expert now

Alan Jones is an irrelevant tosser.

Normally I would say, 'Never take medical advice from a chat show host.' But this time it would be fairer to say, 'Never take advice from an idiot.'

Sky news is dangerous.

ABC News 24 is free to air - and free from Alan Jones' ridiculous opinions. News, actual news free to air!

'Alarmist Alan' This name calling isn't even clever.

For feck sake....

Didn’t Alan Jones get fired?

Jones is a bucketmouth nobody.

Dan lacks commonsense.. forced to wear a mask while walking my dog alone no where near anybody ... complete poor leadership.. how is he allowed to get away with this invasive unintelligent control ..

If masks worked why did we need to go into Lockdown!!

There is NO scientific proof that masks work outdoors. Regarding indoor spaces the jury is still out, with new studies being currently conducted. Now with zero or close to zero cases they should no longer be mandatory.Warm & moist environment promotes grows of microorganisms.

I agree with Dan, we need all of Victoria to wear a mask for just 3 mystery cases🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Why

Ah, Alan Jones, expert on nothing, mouthpiece for hire

We should have let it rip.

Agree they should be optional!

'Dishonest Dan' is ruling Victorians by 'fear': Paul Dimattina | Sky News AustraliaAFL great and hotel owner Paul Dimattina says he is “over the lies”, the fearmongering and the division Daniel Andrews is causing in Victoria as he rules the state 'by fear”. \n\nIt comes as Premier Daniel Andrews announced there will be no major easing of restrictions for Melbourne after the state recorded seven new cases and no deaths in the last 24 hours.\n\nPremier Andrews said all week Melburnians could expect an easing of restrictions, but on Sunday pointed to over 1,000 tests which are still in the lab from a cluster in Melbourne’s north as to why there needed to be a “cautious pause”.\n \n“‘Dishonest Dan’ I think is what we’re calling him now,” Mr Dimattina told Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\n“‘Cautious pause’, he pulls out another line. We’re over the lines, we’re over the lies, we’re over the fearmongering, we’re over the division he’s trying to cause in society here in Victoria, and that’s what he’s doing.\n\n“He’s ruling by fear, and that’s not a great way to govern, it’s not a great way to rule.”\n\n“The whole ten people inside, or 20 people, is absolutely unworkable, it’s not a way forward for us.\n\n“There’s got to be some more common sense to what they’re doing to let us open and open properly, not just for an arbitrary number of 20.\n\n“Where’s the science and the data that says 20 people inside?\n\n“Give us a fair go.”\n\n Look out here come the Murdoch derangement sufferers When did he become an AFL great? When he was fined for an unprovoked assault on a bar manager a few years ago the media weren't calling him a great. Is he a modern great or all time great?

Toll of veteran suicides 'continues to rise' in Australia | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Catherine McGregor says far too many Australian war veterans have taken their own lives in despair and are over-represented among young men “sleeping rough” in the nation’s major cities. \n\n“Those who have served on operations overseas know that the bonds forged among soldiers are powerful,” she said. \n\n“Sadly, for many, nothing fills the gap in their lives when they come home. More of our service men and women have taken their own lives in Australia than died in Afghanistan-by a factor of 10 to 1.\n\n“Yesterday marked the start of veterans’ mental health week. \n\n“It is a cause close to my heart. I led Australian soldiers on operations overseas twice and deployed three times. I bear no scars from my service, but many do.\n\n“Far too many have taken their own lives in despair. Veterans of recent conflicts are over-represented among young men sleeping rough in our major cities. Others have felt abandoned after leaving the service and trying to deal with a clumsy bureaucracy to access mental health support.”\n\nMs McGregor said the toll of suicides among veterans was continuing to rise in Australia. \n\n“It has been a tough year for everyone,” she said. \n\n“Most Australians are stressed and anxious about their future. But this week spare a thought for veterans and their families. And if you can support an accredited charity do so. \n\n“Lest we forget.”\n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support.\n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63\n\nLifeline 131 114\n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636 any left Morrison will kill with aged care, vets affairs policy, robodebt or other wars We can all thank the Australian defenceless for this I heard from a veteran in UK that their govt doesn't want to help them. They are seen as a threat because they love their country and people. Govt encorage and look after Ilegal immigrants as their existence threatens the indigenous population.

Andrews 'grasping for the Victorian whiskey' as business 'falls on its knees' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Sarah Henderson says while Premier Andrews is “grasping for the Victorian whiskey” many businesses are “already on their knees” due to the extended lockdown and may never recover.\n\n“This has been a very debilitating few months and of course it’s caused not just severe economic pain but severe mental health issues,” she told Sky News.\n\nMs Henderson acknowledged some “positive steps forward” had been made but said Victoria still had a “long way to go”.\n\n“I’m not going for the top shelf as Daniel Andrews is yet. I think while he’s grasping for the Victorian whiskey, many families are still struggling to put corn flakes on the table.\n\n“It should never have happened. The community transmission ran wild because of the breakdown in hotel quarantine.\n\nMs Henderson went on to condemn fines up to $10,000 which she described as “akin to a criminal penalty” and possible challengeable under the Victorian charter of human rights.\n\n“These fines are completely disproportionate, they are unjustified and they need to be waived.” \n SenSHenderson blah blah blah blah... give it a rest SenSHenderson The real work for survival has only just begun. He's out if touch with reality SenSHenderson Well, perhaps SenSHenderson should ask her colleague JoshFrydenberg why he cut jobkeeper then?
