Well, you have to hand it to them, the Australians flattened the covid curve through their oppressive lockdowns. They were corporate media’s darling for a while. Right up till this year. But now, the Ozzies are having to pay their overdue bill. Cumulative covid deaths Down Under are up, up, up:

This was always the central fallacy behind lockdowns, the insane notion that ‘flattening the curve’ would accomplish anything besides putting off the inevitable. The Australians lasted long enough to get vaccines, but it doesn’t seem to have made any difference, does it?

One wonders if the average Australian wants a refund for the last two years. It might be time for a correction.
