Agreed. All it is is rubbish, just like everything out of the mouths of Chris Kenny and his HCQ-snake oil pushing Sky After Dark mates. A former Liberal Party spin doctor praising two of his mates

Makes me sick to hear him pretend he’s looking out for the “welfare of the youth”. They’ve never cared about the youth (not their target demographic), and have been happy to push agendas like their anti same sex marriage campaign that mental health experts warned us would increase mental health issues amongst youth.

It’s solely a political attack on his political enemy. He quotes statistics from Peter Collignon (an infectious diseases Clinician and Professor of Microbiology) but fails to mention Collignon has said Victoria’s restrictions are the reason the infection rate was being turned around.

Interesting data too, that Professor Collignon has promoted, nations that have suffered the least economic decline have also done the best at preventing deaths.

But among countries with available GDP data, we do not see any evidence of a trade-off between protecting people’s health and protecting the economy. Rather the relationship we see between the health and economic impacts of the pandemic goes in the opposite direction. As well as saving lives, countries controlling the outbreak effectively may have adopted the best economic strategy too.

Didn't see Chris Kenny talk about that......
