Interview Dr David Martin on the truth behind this story please 🙏

Fuck I'm like pro Vax or whatever. I got AZ even though in my thirties.... But this shit is futile. Let's just all do the basic shit with masks and go back to some semblance of reality.

THE MEDIA ARE THE VIRUS!

OMG just STOP incoming flights immediately. Controls on borders cannot be allowed to let it rip this time! Frightening all over again.🤬

Morrison has built no quarantine facilities. Hazzard and Berejiklian suppressed Dr Kerry Chant’s advice. Will Perrottet follow medical advice, unlike Berejiklian? Will Frewen appear?

Thanks scomo for screwing up yet again but true to firm it will be someone else’s fault.

Muhammad Qasim Ibn Abdul Karim has seen many dreams in which Allah and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised him to follow the straight path and the things he should avoid. All these dreams confirm the message of Quran and hadith. He is the Imam Al-Mahdi!

It's another fear mongering campaign to meet Scott Morrisons goal of vaccinating younger Australians and scaring others into getting booster shots. The new Omicron variant is mild according to South African medical experts. auspol

No time to die

When did these two travel to Australia ( date?).

Suck my 🏀 ⚽️ 🏀 ⚽️

Wouldnt holds my breath on Slomo making a decision. He'll just wait till it hits Victoria and blame Dan. He calls it the 'Dan Plan'.

The Federal Government would have known about this virus strain well before it landed. To avoid embarrassment, they just say it’s here already, takes the blame away from their lack of preventive action.

Great that the LNP have built so many dedicated quarantine facilities so that we are ready for the variants as they arise. Ho they haven't, my mistake.

It's funny how Omicron was found just reported to the World Health Organisation on Nov 24th. But Australia already has testing for it on November 28th. Calling BS!!! More freedoms in Jeopardy FAKE NEWS!!!!

Interview Dr David Martin on the truth behind this story please 🙏

Who cares... Life must go on whether it's the Omicron variant or the Megatron variant...

Breakthrough infections you mean

Thats his happy face, now they can all keep on keeping on

Two people have arrived in Sydney from southern Africa with Covid-19Passengers who arrived in Australia from southern Africa have tested positive for Covid-19 as concern brews they may be infected with the new variant of concern, Omicron. They keep slamming Mcgowan foR holding W.A borders shut. This situation of a virus likely going around the system was always going to be. As I said in the tweets a few months ago. Enjoy your Xmas lockdowns NSW. Likely Vic now also. Week polies not looking after the majority.

Coronavirus pandemic LIVE: Urgent testing after Sydney arrivals from southern Africa test positive to COVID-19; Border bans flagged as Omicron variant alarms chief health officersUrgent testing has begun to determine if two passengers who arrived in Sydney from southern Africa are infected with the new Omicron COVID-19 variant as Australia has temporarily closed the door to arrivals from nine African nations. What a government failure again. Surely upon banning flights from those African countries you would look at current manifestos from flights already in the air. It beggars belief that a plane load from Doha ex Africa are released into the community. I mean WTF 🤬 Which isn't what Kerry Chant would have advised..... but go on lets have another 1000+ deaths. Typical Liberal. Thank you Dom_Perrottet Please ensure that these individuals receive the care they need. & show that NSW health is a beacon to the world. Treat patients with respect. Contain. Manage. Protect! NSWHealth

No need for an update. We’ve been playing this game by Microsoft and sponsored by Pfizer made in China for the last 2 years. This is the championship round…two weeks to flatten the curve, lockdown, restrict, jab, repeat, collect dine & discover vouchers & proceed to new variant Remember when vaccinations were the “Only way out of this mess”. We all believed the lies. Omicron is an anagram of moronic.
