Ok. Lets assume for argument's sake that some/most of those people accept the scientific and medical consensus that vaccines are perfectly safe. They are still selfish morons more interested in their 'right' to have a beer at the pub over the health and safety of others.

ALL of us want to get back to a normal way of life. What makes these people think they are so special? 

Calling for Bill Gates to be locked up is not based off anything even remotely close to "a healthy skepticism". 

Who would have thought the Greeks would have smashed Briton out of the park regards the virus.  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/10/greeks-marvel-at-britains-covid-chaos-as-their-lockdown-lifts-after-150-deaths

150 deaths in Greece, 31 000 in the UK.

How Boris is getting away with almost zero scrutiny is mind boggling.

(WRT: the USA, of course).

Aren’t you doing the exact thing that you’re preaching against?

I think everyone wants things to return to normal but people have taken it to the extremes. 

Mate, I wouldn't bother. 

There's absolutely no nuance to the debates on this forum. Everything has to be black or white, even on the most complex of subjects. If you so much as question even a small aspect of the narrative, you'll be branded a conspiracy theorist or receive a glib, passive aggressive response. Never mind that many highly respected professionals have questioned some aspects of the MSM panic narrative. This may surprise some people, but it's actually possible to believe COVID-19 is real while holding a healthy scepticism towards certain people in high positions taking full advantage of this crisis for their own evil ends. 

Thankfully we're quite lucky here in Australia, and so far our politicians on all sides have acted in good faith. Let's hope it continues.

Oh dear.

You could call those people with those signs conspiracy theorist, but that doesn't mean it is the lot of them that are. 

There are many around the world who are protesting simply because they want to get back to work and live a normal life. 

We constantly complain about how the media picks on football fans, labeling us all as hooligans, yet it's okay to label all protesters conspiracy theorists even though many of them aren't. 

And on top of all that they're also all crackpots who watch infowars. Makes me laugh 😂

How about the arrest Bill Gates part?

My thoughts exactly  

Please do.

Okay so they're conspiracy theorists for being against forced vaccines. 

Fuck me dead. I give up.

So many people believe that there are two sides to every story. Unfortunately there's not too many that follow this rule. 

In this article you can see protesters holding placards saying "no vaccines" and "COVID is a scam".

They were also chanting to arrest Bill Gates:

Not sure how more obvious it could be that they are crackpots straight out of the infowars mould.

Which if they wait 24 hrs it may well happen...

Why do you refer to them as conspiracy theorists?

Aren't they simply protesting that the lockdowns should be removed and the state goes back to business as usual?

100 or so conspiracy theory types protesting in Melbourne today.  Fucking parrots see what they are doing in America and think they can bring it here. 

Yeh I think Trump will easily win the next election. I don't see the majority of Americans wanting someone like Biden as their president. 

Meanwhile in the US the White House has its very own cluster.

Trump's Personal Valet
 Pence's Press Secretary
Ivanka Trump's Personal Assistant
34 Secret Service Agents

Not quiet at all.

Especially when he runs away with the election, I will be here mining all the salt because it's a lot of fun. ;)

PC has and had nothing to do with it 

The UK's approach initially went with 'herd immunity' then when it was clear that was going to be a disaster shut everything down.

Watch Pompeo contradict himself within seconds of his initial statement with absolutely no sense of embarassment.

https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/the-word-that-explains-why-the-us-is-pushing-discredited-wuhan-lab-conspiracy-theory-20200505-p54psu.html

the uk had 3 million arrivals at heathrow in March, not one was checked or quarantineed
the uk suffers from media driven political correctness and wont want to offend even if it the correct action to take like restricting flights.

Dead set lucky we live in Australia.  (And that Berijiklian, Andrews and Palaszczuk forced Scmo into action when they did.) 

Here's how the UK's shitshow disaster unfolded.  https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/biggest-failure-in-a-generation-where-did-britain-go-wrong-20200428-p54o2d.html

I remember that especially since one of the last flights out was to Sydney and NSW health officials had to rush to the airport that day.

That or he elects to ignore it and change the subject. He's been mighty quite re. Trump of late.

So where would you say is the best site to get Melbourne news?

Incoming goalpost shift shortly.
