The Australian’s Adam Creighton says there are many vested interests which are benefitting greatly from the COVID hysteria. Mr Creighton said among such investors were the pathologists, the bureaucracy itself, and those involved in carrying out the COVID tests. “If you just take testing for instance, we’ve done 6.6 million tests, and mind you only 0.4 per cent of those tests have been positive,” he told Sky News host Alan Jones. “That’s about 1.
3 billion dollars that’s flowed to the vested various interests that are involved in conducting those PCR tests.” Mr Creighton added that the mortality rate in Sweden is basically the same, overall, as it has been in recent years, and yet the country is constantly attacked by “these lockdown fanatic people”.

COVID-19 vaccine would be a 'gamechanger' for Trump | Sky News AustraliaUnited States Studies Centre CEO Simon Jackman says the development and distribution of a coronavirus vaccine before the November election would be a “gamechanger” for President Trump.\n\n“If there were a vaccine rolled out and it was efficacious and it was widely distributed and really knocked this thing on its head before election day, that would be nothing short of a political triumph,” he told Sky News.\n\nThe President faces a political deficit on the pandemic with COVID-19 the “single biggest factor” where Donald Trump has a negative rating relative to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.\n\nMr Jackman also highlighted the widely publicised news story reporting Donald Trump made disparaging remarks about America’s fallen soldiers. \n\n“The idea that the commander in chief was reported to be talking that way about people who serve, people who have died for their country, that is a massive political dagger,” he said.\n\nAccording to Mr Jackman the significance of this news story was it “put Trump on the defensive” and resulted in a situation where he was not in control of the agenda for a good two or three news cycles over the Labor Day weekend.\n\nImage: AP

Coalition ‘lied’ about COVID-19 vaccine deal: Chris Bowen | Sky News AustraliaShadow Health Minister Chris Bowen says a $1.7 billion supply and production agreement between the Australian government and pharmaceutical companies for two promising COVID-19 vaccine candidates is the Coalition doing what it “lied” about weeks ago. \n\n“It’s basically the government doing today what they lied about three weeks ago when they said they had a deal when they didn’t,” Mr Bowen told Sky News.\n\nUnder the agreement, the University of Oxford\u002FAstraZeneca and the University of Queensland\u002FCSL will provide more than 84.8 million vaccine doses for Australians, who would receive access to the jab for free.\n\nThey would almost entirely be manufactured in Melbourne, with early access to 3.8 million doses of the University of Oxford vaccine in January and February 2021.\n\n “It would be prudent to have other measures in place as well,” Mr Bowen said. \n\n“We do know that vaccines have a 96 per cent failure rate from beginning to end – that means the vast majority of those vaccines under development around the world will fail but some will work.\n\n“We have to maximise our chances of having access to those who do.\n\n“There are others, though, that are also well advanced, and it would be prudent for the government to be pursuing those options as well. \n\n“If they don’t work out, that would not be something that the government would be criticised for.”\n\nMr Bowen said the US has six vaccine deals in place while the UK has five.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n
