"Over the summer period, Australia was wracked by its sharpest wave of COVID
illness and death in six months, with well over a thousand lives lost. The vast
majority of people would have no knowledge of the toll, however, because it has
not been commented on by the federal Labor government or any of the state
administrations and has been buried in the official media.
As is the case internationally, what has been created and imposed upon the
population is an invisible pandemic. While the authorities pretend that COVID
is a thing of the past, thousands are continuously infected with a potentially
deadly disease that has claimed more than twenty million lives worldwide over
the past four years.
A key component of this campaign has been an assault on accurate data.
Standardised, daily figures of hospitalisations and deaths were terminated long
ago, leaving in their place a deliberately confusing patchwork of weekly
reports. Even these figures are often incomplete and subject to substantial
revision months after the fact. With the dismantling of any form of testing
system, and the abolition of reporting mechanisms for positive rapid antigen
tests, infection levels are entirely unknown.
The most recent consolidated figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics
(ABS) show that in the three months from last November to the end of January,
1,184 lives were lost to COVID. That was the highest toll over a three-month
period, since a mid-year wave that caused 1,664 fatalities between April and
June, 2023."
