It doesn’t make any sense at all. What science??? Totally confusing argument on the part of the Biden Administration. Thanks for a great point of view and showing up the ridiculousness of it all.

Science and the medical profession are on the whole complexity discredited. They have been part of this giant movement to shut us down and keep us in servitude and submission. The covid thing was only dangerous for us oldies and those with comrade conditions. I was never worried about ti but have worked hard to build my immune system. To keep Novak out of the US and before that her win Oz was unconscionable. Lots of people should be in jail because of this.

It’s sad to be living through these times, in a way. We are so divided, and unfortunately hundreds of millions of people have succumbed to Government control. Thank God for people like Novak 🙏👍

James - you have slammed a pure ace! (to stuff up my metaphors). Your central point that nothing makes sense is so true, and nearly everyone (excluding you and those that read you) is so comfortable to live in a world that doe snot make sense. Your best point, why won't all the other competitors stand up and decline to compete until Djokovic is allowed in? Now we are getting to the heart of human nature!

Hey this might be a silly question but how do I watch Rowan Dean on Sky news if I don’t have Foxtel? I’m in Australia

If you’ve got YouTube you should be able to find some episodes there 👍.

Hi Katey, the easiest way is to subscribe to at flashnews.com.au

You know things are truly messed up when people would rather folks like Novak, ie the unvaccinated, keel over and die from the 'rona than allow them freedom of movement, freedom of speech and thought and freedom to ply their trade and in doing so, prove how monumentally those same messed up people have been lied to and manipulated.

And they say, this isn't political? It is a crazy world when an individuals health can be politized and so many believe it

We were talking about this today. I think the problem is that people in power don’t like to be wrong and boy was there a whole lot of wrong with how our leaders in the U.S. dealt/deal with COVID. That’s the problem with politicized diseases.

Yes. Authorities are in way too deep to simply change course. Rather, there will be an inch-by-inch course correction done so slowly and so carefully that authorities will hope no-one remembers how obscenely wrong they were.

In the U.S. I hope everyone remembers. What I am finding is that people are so done with COVID and don’t want to talk about it at all, just move on. What a wuss way out. It needs to be examined and loopholes need to be repaired to make sure this loss of personal freedoms never happens again. Sad to report, no one really cares that much.

Every Australian should be embarrassed by the way Djokovic was treated at the Australian Open. He was widely demonised on the basis of a faulty narrative about ‘the pandemic of the unvaccinated’. Will he ever get the apology he deserves?

Yes, they should be. And no, he won't. But we won't forget.

Thanks James. Well said! These government edicts make no sense at all. It’s either obey us or pay the consequences, just like the Palasczuk government’s petty nastiness in docking teachers’ pay for not obeying. Dangerous nonsense.

What they are doing in Queensland to teachers is unconscionable. And then they have the temerity to complain about a shortage of teachers. Unbelievable.

Excellent piece James, you are so right nothing makes sense anymore - plain common sense, reason and wisdom can no longer be found.

However; Thinking, discerning folk know it has nothing to do with science but everything to do with power, control $$$$$, and removal of individual rights and freedoms.

The politicisation of science is one of the great tragedies of modern times. The consequences will be monumental.
