Pollies vs science: Senate’s excess deaths inquiry is an ideologically driven waste of time
As some of you following the news may know, the Australian Senate is currently holding an inquiry into excess mortality.
It sounds important and you could be fooled into thinking it is — that it’s an examination into the lives that could be saved with better funding of general practice or public health initiatives.
But this is an inquiry that was pushed by one of Clive Palmer’s politicians, a senator called Ralph Babet, who has long been concerned that the deaths resulting from the COVID pandemic weren’t just a result of SARS-COV-2 and its variants but the vaccines themselves.
The inquiry’s remit is wider than that of course.
