I killed a Tuskarr
Their high-vis gear is reflecting too much light, I can't see their signs! Everyone has ear protection on, I can't hear their voices!! Oh, the irony!!

---
<as per their Telegram post>

- the immediate removal of emergency state powers,
- an immediate end to lockdown
- an end to mask and vaccine mandates
- the resignation of Premier Daniel Andrews and chief health officer Brett Sutton
- a royal commission into the government's pandemic response
- charges against police for "assaulting peaceful protesters"
- a resumption of all construction sites
- and "mass distribution of ivermectin, vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc".

Sounds like a episode of Ally McBeal, West Wing and House mashed together

Classic response to "Ok, these people are not buying it, let's add something they'll accept then we can drag them in". Something of an "Appeal to reason" addition to a shithouse argument, usually used by these types in their one-no-one manipulation.

My understanding is that they're all things recommended for a 'healthy and natural' immune system boost. You can usually get some kind of combo tablet from a pharmacy. After doing some reading, vitamin D3 can supposedly help reduce symptoms of respiratory illness, but is meant to be produced by the human body on its own when the skin is exposed to UVB radiation in sunlight (it also helps calcium absorption, so might also be advertised on its own for helping to improve bone density or dental health). It might be more useful for people who spend all their time indoors, or who live in places that are constantly dark and cloudy.

Since these kinds of tablets are already so widely available, it just makes the argument for needing ivermectin weaker IMO. Tell them to go and get their cold and flu immune response tablets.

So I guess they don't actually trust their immune system that much?

Vit C, d, zinc and iodine is pushed by health grifters in supplements as it's an unregulated market, so you have dudes like Alex Jones who are telling you to take ivermectin and his supplements that'll boost your immune system. It's the cash part of the grift. You'll also see collodiol silver.

Apparently there were some Trump flags spotted at today's protest, and on a hunch I went and googled whether anyone had ever made any Australian versions of the US Gadsden flag

There's lots and lots of anti-vaxxers who are pushing ivermectin & vitamins as a covid cure, you see pretty much that exact list plus or minus a few others come up a lot in anti-vaxx screeds

It's just a cold, and those vitamins are used in numerous standard vitamin mixes for cold treatment.

This youtube guy did a good breakdown of the lead-up to the riots:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxfYums6B2Q

tl;dr: roughly 1/3 of the rioters on Monday were construction unionists, 1/3 were non-union construction workers and 1/3 were anti-vaxx/neo-nazi agitators. The anti-vaxxers had organised the entire thing right from the start and convinced the unionists to turn up and they were also behind earlier protests with the aged care and nursing home industries.

Also a friend of mine who'd been working at one of the big vaxx hubs in Melbourne reports that there's been a huge number of tradies turning up for their jabs recently, the squeaky wheels that are rampaging down city streets are only a loud dumb minority

this is what I've heard yeah.

Convinced that by day two, the unionists were maybe 1/6 then by today almost none, non-unionists dwindling too.

Yeah, there were some (but not many) legit union workers who got roped into it yesterday. But the CFMEU said anyone caught going today would be banned from union worksites in the future (aka fired) so the crowd today had basically zero hivis wearing people and there were a lot less people involved, probably 150 when they walked past me down collins st at noon.



People were cheering from balconies as the cops caught people trying to run away, so there is no popular support for antivaxxers parading around the place and loving everything up for everybody else.

I can only imagine the CFMEU sending reps out to every work site to law down the loving law on actual tradies turning up to any more protests.

Yeah there's often a bunch of dumb rumours popping up online immediately after stuff like this that which soon spread and turn into conspiracy theories. "Brutalized old lady was actually a 34 year old man in a disguise trying to make authorities look bad" is a great example, I've also seen a bunch of posts claiming that two of the protesters who were shot with rubber bullets actually died
