Ed,

A friend of mine in Iluka tells me that Dr Richards has been suspended over advice he may have been giving to patients about the Covid vaccines.

I understand your journalist Geoff Helisma has written about this.

As a result of expressing opinions, he seems to have held genuinely based on his experience as a doctor, and on his research, Dr Richards appears now to have no employment. In Soviet Russia those who spoke out against any policy of government were likely to find themselves unemployed, if not unemployable.

The Communists in Australia must be overjoyed that this government is taking such steps in line with the rulers of the medical profession, to ensure that there is perfect freedom of speech here, as long as what we say is approved of by Scotty from Marketing.
