ASIA PACIFIC TODAY Podcast. Covid-19. So many questions but so few answers with John O'Sullivan.

Mass vaccination is rolling out, eclipsing the pace of Covid-19 lockdowns more than one year ago. While this may turn out to be a huge success in combating the virus, it is still too early to say as studies will not be completed until 2023.

What we do know, is that Governments around the world including those in the richest countries, have caused irreparable harm to their citizens, throwing out the rule book on Pandemics and providing little scientific justification for their actions, all the while telling us to “follow the science.”

Big questions still remain such as : why no early treatment is available in some counties, when doctors have demonstrated the effectiveness of safe, inexpensive drugs to combat hospitalisation and death? Did our systems of public health decision-making during Covid really serve the public interest and is there sufficient transparency? Mainstream media and Big Tech have become so compromised - a scandal in itself, that they are unwilling to expose wrongdoing and may have functioned as important enablers of destructive policy making.

And why are the issues of liberty and freedom of speech being ignored by our democratically elected leaders? Why after the availability of these vaccines, and the knowledge gained from past policy responses - are we still hearing threats of lockdowns, the need for vaccine passports, masks, vaccines for children and other crazy suggestions from politicians and unaccountable public health officials.

John O’Sullivan is CEO of Principia Scientific International, an organisation dedicated to truth and transparency and promoting best scientific practice in the community and education of specialists and non-specialists.
