What if their plan all along was for us to die?

That's basically their Plan B. Also Plan A is usually just "do nothing"

Saw that Egg Boy, the teen who hit Fraser Anning with an egg, was trending on Twitter, turns out he's now spreading COVID-19 disinfo on IG: https://www.ladbible.com/news/latest-will-egg-boy-connolly-flagged-for-posting-covid-19-misinformation-20210727

quote:

Will Connolly has been flagged by Instagram for posting fake information about the coronavirus pandemic.

The Aussie teen affectionately known as 'Egg Boy' uploaded a series of images on his social media account that claimed the Covid-19 PCR test isn't accurate.

Will said loads of people have been messaging him about the allegations 'for two years' and he wanted the post to start a discussion.

However, Instagram has quickly hidden the post and labelled it fake news after two independent fact checkers looked into the claims.

One of the allegations was that the Centers for Disease Control and Protection is getting rid of PCR tests because they can't differentiate between Covid-19 and the flu.

Science Feedback found that to be incorrect and linked to a headline that states 'EUA withdrawal for CDC COVID-19 PCR test is due to the development of newer tests that help save time and resources, not because the test is faulty'.

This was backed up by FactChecker.org, who wrote: "The announcement in question came from the CDC and was about plans for the eventual discontinuation of its own test. It is still in use currently.

"The FDA did not revoke the CDC test's emergency use authorization or question the reliability of PCR tests, an FDA spokesman confirmed to us."

The Instagram post has caused a pretty serious reaction in Will's comment section.

Loads of his followers aren't happy seeing the kid who stood up against racism now spouting pandemic misinformation without checking his sources.

Apparently there's a case in Greenwood. Guess we'll know if there's an emergency presser.

That loving oval office Basil Zemplis spent his whole mayoral campaign saying he was going to stick the boot into the homeless in Perth city and was widely criticised for it. I pray this poo poo actually sticks to that human staph infection so something is done to help these people. gently caress me.

Don't get me started on that motherfucker! I've been blocked by him on Twitter since the election, didn't vote for the fucker and am furious that he won. Clearly he isn't doing poo poo. IIRC he promised to restore funding for Noongar Patrol in the CBD, need to check if he actually did that, also he only promised it because every single other candidate did.

I don't know anything about Perth, is that area a sex worker hotspot? Or a homelessness hotspot? Or just a series of very unfortunate incidents happening to people who are indigenous?

Homelessness mainly, of which indigenous people are a large majority. Yagan Square is actually very new, created when they sunk the train lines from Perth station next to it. That said homelessness is still a big thing in four blocks in any direction of that location.

I personally have noticed a lot more people shooting-up on the street. There really needs to be shooting galleries setup in the CBD it's a big problem.

The Perth City Council election is on the 16th so I've been getting mail-bombed with fliers from prospective councillors. One guy is partly running on a platform of sticking it to Basil Zempilas which owns IMO:



Another guy wants Perth to host eSports and be like South Korea (Yes this is his website, also seems OK I guess): https://www.perthisawesome.com/

In conclusion I am highly doubtful that the real issues will ever actually be addressed, specifically homelessness and things just generally going to poo poo.
