.... the Indian WuFlu variance - B.1.617 - has arrived and virulently spreading, starting here in Melbourne, Aus.

A return traveler from India, quarantined in Adelaide, then returned to home in Melbourne SE.

And he practically traveled all over Melbourne.
He is also attended an Aussie Rules game.

Bit of a panic generated by the click bait MSM.

State gov't of Victoria, issued mask mandates for indoors, public gatherings .. you know the drill too?

Winter starts next month.

Some 311k of Aussie are fully vaccinated (population approx 25.6 million)

And another 3.3 million with their first dose.

Yes indeed, hesitancy here as well.

And in other news, I read that William Shakespeare, the first man in the UK and one of the first in the world to receive an approved COVID-19 vaccine in December '20 — has passed away from an unrelated illness.

He was 81.

My employer, a big defense contractor (no I don’t like to spell it out here) has just put out that IF you’re fully vaxxed for the WuFlu and IF you certify and provide proof to the HR system, you may remove your face diaper and cease social distancing.

But for the rest of us filthy serfs, if we cannot or choose not to be vaxxed with with Saint Fauci’s Holy Oil, we must continue to wear the muzzle of compliance and the bare-facers are to continue to shun us at a 6 foot distance.

I’ve now been totally outed as someone who didn’t get the vaxx and if I lie and certify I did get it so I can lose the mask, we’ve been warned that suspects will be investigated and punished up to termination.

Damn the mental retardation in these morons is strong. No info whatsoever on the long term impacts of the current vaccines, but you have no choice but to take the poke. And what if you've already had the virus and either were symptomatic or you recovered from the virus and as such have the T-cells active in your system?

'No one' is thinking anymore. Logic and evidence need not apply to any of this.

Not enough. We need to starting banding together in huge groups and actively attacking Facebook (and Twitter) in an effort to significantly damage the platform. Facebook 'is' an enemy of this country, and should be treated as such.

Won’t happen. Too many people need their social media platforms they are addicted. Out of all the people here there are very few who have closed their accounts. Ensigmstic I think is one that did other than that there might be one or two others. Everyone finds a way to justify keeping their accounts regardless of what they know these platforms do.

Look at it this way. Perception is everything, and the sheep knuckle dragging the streets around us are beyond stupid. We need to find a way to paint Farcebook for the hopelessly stupid as something very bad. Once the emotion sets in, they'll start moving away from it. Did I mention they're stupid and easily motivated? Even my 22 year old son who's been as addicted to social media as anyone is starting to pull back from it. It's become even too much for him.

Biden Shut Down Wuhan Lab Investigation Probing COVID-19 Origins: Report

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...id-19-origins-report

The Biden administration pulled the plug on a Trump-era State Department investigation into whether COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, according to a Tuesday evening report by CNN.

The effort, led by then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, also sought to determine whether China's biological weapons program may have played a role in the pandemic. According to the report, it was met with internal opposition from officials who thought it was simply a politicized witch hunt to blame China for the virus.

According to three unnamed sources, when Biden was briefed on the investigations' findings in February and March, he pulled the plug - and instead opted to trust the findings of the World Health Organization, which conducted an 'investigation' earlier this year which turned out to be nothing more than political theater, the cast of which included the highly conflicted Peter Daszak, the Fauci-funded virologist who was studying bat viruses at the Wuhan lab.

"The way they did their work was suspicious as hell," said one former State Department official who (we're guessing was rooting for team Schiff during Trump's impeachment).

Pompeo, meanwhile, said in May 2020 that there was "enormous evidence" and a "significant amount of evidence" to support the lab-escape theory. And according to former senior State Department official David Feith, "People in the US government were working on the question of where Covid-19 came from but there was no other effort that we knew of that took the lab leak possibility seriously enough to focus on digging into certain aspects, questions and uncertainties."

The revelation that Biden shut down the inquiry is awkward at best, after the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that three researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were so sick in November of 2019 that they sought hospitalization, citing the intelligence report that Biden rejected.

The details of the reporting go beyond a State Department fact sheet, issued during the final days of the Trump administration, which said that several researchers at the lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019 “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.”

The disclosure of the number of researchers, the timing of their illnesses and their hospital visits come on the eve of a meeting of the World Health Organization’s decision-making body, which is expected to discuss the next phase of an investigation into Covid-19’s origins. -WSJ

The lab leak theory, floated by Zero Hedge and several other outlets in early 2020, was promoted heavily by former President Trump, who blamed China for unleashing the virus on the world and derailing historic economic growth following three years of 'America First' international negotiations, along with generous tax breaks.

"I said it right at the beginning, and that's where it came from," Trump told Newsmax Tuesday night, taking somewhat of a victory lab over the MSM's 'come to Jesus' moment over the mounting lab leak hypothesis. "I think it was obvious to smart people. That's where it came from. I have no doubt about it. I had no doubt about it. I was criticized by the press."

Trump also said he remains confident that the lab leak theory is correct.

"'People didn't want to say China. Usually they blame it on Russia," he continued. "I said right at the beginning it came out of Wuhan. And that's where all the deaths were also, by the way, when we first heard about this, there were body bags, dead people laying all over Wuhan province, and that's where it happened to be located."

"To me it was very obvious. I said it very strongly and I was criticized and now people are agreeing with me, so that's okay."

And now a follow-up on that from a panicking Beijing Biden:

Biden Panics After CNN Reveals He Canceled COVID Origins Investigation, Orders 90-Day Report From US Intel Agencies

Update (1522ET): Less than 24 hours after CNN threw Biden under the bus for canceling a State Department effort launched under Trump to get to the bottom of the origins of COVID-19, the Biden administration has backpedaled - and has ordered the US intelligence community to conduct a 90-day investigation into how the pandemic began.

In a statement via the White House website, the Biden administration claims that officials have been pursuing various possibilities - including "whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident," it's clear that the administration is in full damage control mode.

"I have now asked the Intelligence Community to redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion, and to report back to me in 90 days," said Biden in the announcement.

I'm sure that we can all rest easy that the truth will come out.

Yeah...I'm sure there's gonna be a LOT of "circling back" to get to the truth. GMAFB...

We need someone that Trump would assign to be oversight / lead the intelligence investigation. Trump started it, let him finish it.

My president told me the flu bug originated in China.

That is all I need to know as everything the Bidet administration will tell you is a lie.

I'm HIGHLY suspicious of the MSM's abrupt flip-flop on the Chicom origins of Covid and want to know what the agenda is here?

There is always an agenda.

Are they now looking to get rid of Biden to make way for Harris or just to protect him?

This is very strange and something doesn't smell right.

I think it's simply that the evidence is becoming overwhelming that the chicom flu originated in a lab, and the MSM is trying to rewrite history so they don't look like complete fools. They've already admitted that they consciously refused to acknowledge the possibility early on simply because Trump said it was likely. In other words, it was Trump's fault that the media got the story completely wrong.

I saw that! Pretty much what we already knew. They would simply say the exact opposite of Trump as a reflex.

Victoria update: another lockdown, 7 days.
The Indian B.1.617 variant is spreading fast.
One individual, returned from India, and quarantined in Adelaide, South Australia.

End of quarantine, returns to home and family in Melbourne.
And, even though aware of symptoms, went out and about. And really went out and about.
In the span of a week, we went from 0 cases, to 1, then 5, then 10, and now xxxx.

Boom, just like that.
For the most part, people are lining up to be tested, and/or vaccinated.
The State gov't urges, urges I tell you, to get vaccinated. As it is the only way to stop this.

Personal opinion:
Yeah? Well how about State/Fed knock heads and figure out the overseas traveler hotel quarantine policies.
Everytime there's been an outbreak, it's due to a failure of the quarantine policy.
Dedicated facilities please, not hotels.

This is the 4th in 12 months.
The toilet paper panic buying is ON.

Thinking it might be time to flee the big city, buy a patch of 100 acre woods somewhere, and pitch a yurt.

The “Indian variant” will be the next horse shit emergency in this plandemic; just in time for summer.

And what shall we call the diagnosis of this? Pure mental illness complete with rampant delusions. These people are not well and need to depart the media establishment.

Which, once again, means nothing. Have people begun flooding the hospital, dying of this virus variant, or does government simply have a group of positive test results, which at the risk of being redundant again means nothing. My bet, its the latter and government (i.e. the dumbest among us) have leapt to save us again. When is the public going to put a foot down and tell those in charge, "we'll take it from here".
