No Cure For Stupidity...

A few years ago, I decided I wouldn't give any oxygen to the rantings of Pauline Hansen - a racist, homophobic, ill-educated & proud-of-it, ignorant aberration in Australian politics. Exactly how this woman made it into the Australian Senate again, after her first stint ended with her in jail for voter fraud, is not only a mystery to me, but a damning indictment of either the ignorance, or apathy, of the common Australian voter
However, I'll post the link to her response to the Australian Government's deal for the possible Covid19 vaccine being developed at Oxford University, because... just as she gives the good rural people of Australia a bad name by being ill-informed, over-opinionated & often incoherent, here she does the same for the anti-vaccination movement. Now that Pauline's on their side & speaking for them - whether they want her to or not, I suspect their ranks will thin out a bit, as many of them will start to question the stupidity of their beliefs when they hear them being garbled & shredded by Pauline's mangled rhetoric
Personally, I think a race of genetically improved humans, with 5G capability, sounds like a damn good thing. If only it were true...
