Dr David Nabarro, the WHO’s special envoy on COVID-19, said a “middle path” was open for governments to suppress the spread of the virus through less-restrictive public health measures.
Dr David Nabarro, the World Health Organisation’s special envoy on COVID-19, says lockdowns were an effective way for governments to buy time to prepare their health systems at the start of the pandemic, but should not have become a default response to outbreaks.
Then health minister Martin Foley, Premier Daniel Andrews and chief medical officer Brett Sutton during Melbourne’s sixth and final lockdown.“You might want to restrict movement a lot at the beginning because you are trying to reduce the spread of the thing, but the key thing is not to do it for too long,” he said.
“I think Dave Nabarro is right: you use all of the more-sustainable, less-intrusive mechanisms to do what you can without using lockdowns as your only or largest tool,” he said. “But he is really talking about Europe or North America and not the so-called COVID-zero states.”Former health minister Martin Foley defended the use of lockdowns before vaccines were readily available and said that by the end of 2021, they were no longer a proportionate or necessary public health measure.

Of course he is right. But watch the Andrews sycophants defend to the end…
Didn’t a few of the conspiracy theorists warn of this?
In October 2020, Nabarro gave an interview with The Spectator on YouTube in which he highlighted the WHO's updated position on lockdowns in regards to national responses to COVID. Le Grand is using a 2 yr old story, out of context and irrelevant. More lazy ‘cherry picking’ facts.
2 YRS (10/20) ago he said lockdowns not a primary measure for tackling the virus, instead believed a robust test, trace and isolate system should be the priority, ensuring those who are positive or close contact are quarantined, with lockdown to take the heat out of the system.
The vaccine or lack there of one in 21' dragged on a bit. The 3 short ones were barely noticeable. The 20' one was a bit of a chore but could see its purpose and it saved loads of lives so felt pretty good when we got it back to 0.
Move on. Anything to stoke anger in the community.
Keep trying AGE! Wonder what crap you will dig up next! (Before the Election) instead of dragging out all the policy’s of the opposition! Oh that’s right, they don’t have any!
Chip Le Grand 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
263 days of lockdowns. A total failure by the Andrews government! As stated by WHO !
Raf_Epstein It’s a shame the media didn’t call this out at the time, hey?
POLICY,LEGISLATION IS NOT LAW, ORGANISATIONS DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OR AUTHORITY - WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION WHEN ITS MEDICAL CORPORATE TERRORISM WAR AGAINST HUMANITY!
Btw Melbourne didn’t have the longest lockdown.
thanksDan you butcher
Oopsie, the supposed 'science' behind the harsh Victorian lockdowns appears to be very weak. All the lockdown lovers will now try to deflect talking about other ppl mistakes or w ad personam attacks. Anything rather than not admitting mistakes. To the battlestations!
Yup, Dan relied way too heavily on lockdowns - largely because he failed to invest in data management & CT in that first year. He was all about “shut it all down” and putting all the burden on the population rather than carrying his share of the burden ☹️
An ogre is going to use the power!
Imagine my shock
CollignonPeter you are actually ACTIVLY working against Australians SHAME ON YOU YouAreLobbyLud
Cool cool… did he mention anything about repeat infections?
CollignonPeter Retweeting Chip Le Grand?
Important quote. “In an interview for Lockdown, a new book by this reporter (Chip Le Grand) that examines why Melbourne spent longer under stay-at-home orders than any other city in the world”
🥱
If only the LNP had accepted the vaccine offer from Pfizer when it was offered, we could have opened up when our trading partners did. If only Morrison had given Victoria it's fair share of the vaccine stock. We had 2 health ministers, both failed!
The article is Nonsense and the Book is bound to be the same. I won't be buying it. Please treat this Tweet as my Letter to the editor. One that you have no chance of altering or censoring.
Presumably The AGE opposes the closure of the international border by the Feds. How else in the absence of a vaccine would you give the public a chance to survive.
Chip Le Grand likes to believe what Nazis tell him, doesn’t think they’re a problem.
Chip Le Grand still grinding that axe
DanielAndrewsMP your secretive, draconian response to Covid did untold damage to Victoria. Was Mikakos’ department the only one you secretly took control of. Answer the questions Dan. sackdanandrews
CatherineOrr73 Nothing like a pandemic to show how incompetent your government really is
Wonder how that tallies with his media appearances since 2020?
A failure of DictatorDan & his protege little Brett. There was no need for most of what occurred. Any right minded person would/should vote to remove these stains come November. Won’t happen though as we have no opposition in Victoria & a large case of Stockholm Syndrome.
Nabarro’s comments seem reasonable and I note CHO Sutton agrees with many of those comments. There will be plenty of mayo poured all over those reasonable comments to turn them into politicised BS. I note he never mentioned HQ as an issue. It wasn’t.
mmm... hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it 🙄 just imagine if the LNP govt actually ordered and distributed vaccines efficiently early on the long lockdowns wouldn't have been necessary at all... oh i know all the 'reasoning' but that again is hindsight isn't it?😏
Melbourne, Australia: the longest lockdown on the planet 🤡🌏

Governor-general distances himself from secrecy surrounding Scott Morrison's extra portfoliosGovernor-General David Hurley has issued a second statement on the extra ministries Scott Morrison was appointed to whilst prime minister, distancing himself from the secrecy surrounding the moves. 9News No. Stop the shimmering lol you can't escape this Hurley’s excuse is pathetic. Come the FIFTH time, when the previous FOUR had been kept secret, Hurely had very good reason to believe it would not be communicated.
