To be clear: whoever gets heart inflammation from Moderna would’ve almost certainly got it worse from Covid. The issue arises from the spike protein itself. That’s why we don’t see myocarditis from non-MRNA vaccines like Astra Zeneca.

Data out of Israel (where, unlike the UK, MRNA was the main vaccine) suggests that vaccine-induced myocarditis is caused by the spike protein. In that case, Covid would cause the same condition in the same person -- but more severely, attached to a fully-fledged living virus.

Because vaccines stop young people from getting really sick, vaccination slightly raises your risk of mild myocarditis from the vaccine but practically eliminates your risk of severe myocarditis from Covid. (Both risks are TINY, though)

Some say: Why not eliminate the risk altogether by using a non-MRNA vaccine in young males? Sure. Go for it. But as a general claim, the risk of a young person getting myocarditis from a vaccine is less than their getting it from a bout of Covid.

Some, like @Cernovich , have pointed out that vaccinated people can still catch Covid, so the vaccine risk is *in addition to* the Covid risk. This isn’t true, because you only get myocarditis from Covid if you get sick from the disease, not if you just test positive.

14. The blunt fact is this. Australia never had a first wave of mass Covid casualties. As a result, many Aussies are alive who’d be dead in the US & UK. Letting the virus rip would not turn us into Florida. It’d turn us into New York last March. Florida has already had its cull.

"How might we get from 38 cases a day to zero? (a) we call a full-on snap lockdown for five days, with none of the loosey-goosey exceptions and loopholes; (b) we chide Sydneysiders vaguely while thanking them for their patience and KEEP SUPRÉ STORES OPEN"

24. Lastly, Australia’s Covid response is wildly popular. Of course, that’s no excuse for illiberalism (hi, Orbán!). But it does complicate the narrative that Aussies are being subjugated. We’re not. We are in an exhausted, communal sprint to stave off what America didn’t.

No, I’ve been vindicated in arguing that emergency Covid restrictions would not lead to fascism. Every Covid restriction in NSW has been abolished. There has been no enduring legacy; no thin-edge-of-the-wedge. The chicken littles have been humiliated. Total victory for my side.

This whole claim that “it’s oppressive if anyone thinks it is” has got to stop. My Holocaust-surviving Jewish grandmother spent the rest of her life seeing lots of antisemitism that didn’t exist. People can be mistaken, even the oppressed. Use reason, people, not feelz.

8. Many readers assumed the app is mandatory. In fact, it’s a trial for returning visitors who choose it as an alternative to hotel quarantine. That might be bad… but let’s at least debate what it actually is. I asked @Conor64 to update the article. To his credit, he did.

4. Police have sometimes been too strict in enforcing lockdowns. Harassing influencers who post photos on a beach, or jailing protestors, is illiberal. But this is a problem with policing more broadly. America is hardly a nation untouched by police overreach.
