Of course not.What kind of nonsense is this?
Are you suggesting the Age is some form of public forum we’re all entitled to voice our opinions through without censor?
Yes I did reply.Formerflanker you still haven't responded to my question!
Are you vaccinated? Why?
Of course not.
What I have consistently said is that The Age have severely curtailed the space they used to give to Leunig because he was expressing an anti-vaxx sentiment. In my opinion The Age fired Michael Leunig for contradicting the covid narrative proving that freedom of the press also apparently includes the right to suppress news you do not want anyone to hear.
That self imposed censorship stands in stark contrast to the G&GR forums which allow significant latitude for us to argue both sides of the debate.
It went through to the keeper! Apologies.Yes I did reply.

It was a "reply" to your original question and I assume you should have got an "alert".
He's a 76 year old who has worked for various Fairfax papers for decades and his work has become increasingly weird and out of touch.Of course not.

No worries Tex.It went through to the keeper! Apologies.
It's only contradictory if you look at the vaccine/Ivermectin debate in terms of either/or.To me it feels contradictory to be regularly posting on the benefits of unregulated therapeutics that are shilled by the antivax crews in the US while at the same time taking the advice of the medical establishment into account for vaccination. Maybe it's just me?
Jo Nova has a good summary of the opposite point of view:The same medical establishment that gives counsel based on personal risk factors is the same one that cautions against the use of unapproved medicines. Seems sensible to follow the advice on both.
Ah, the old "unelected" slur to imply they are some sort of mindless rabble. Because politicising such bodies by having them elected would clearly be better.The unelected, unaudited and unaccountable Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)
Yeah, get the experts off the panel. We need more lawyers, bankers, and failed second hand furniture salesmen.Ah, the old "unelected" slur to imply they are some sort of mindless rabble. Because politicising such bodies by having them elected would clearly be better.
And, as mentioned above, the TGA use and apply science to their decisions. And they are accountable. Even the makers of Ivermectin didn't recommend it as a COVID-19 treatment.
By all means though, have at it and try not to shit your guts out - literally.
Jo Nova blah blah blah...
Jo Nova?
So she's branched out into other fields of science denial?
Discredited, unelected, unqualified ex-children's entertainer and now hard-right grifter, Jo Nova has a good summary of the opposite point of view:
It won't be long before the double-jabbed are treated like lepers and the unvaccinated.
