“THE VACCINATED ECONOMY IS HERE TO STAY"

“The vaccinated economy is here to stay.” – Dan Andrews
I truly hope that the day comes where the people of Victoria lift you up Mr. Andrews and celebrate your achievements; as you look down upon Melbourne from a great lofty height, a treasonous saviour, glorious in your betrayal — lifted up, held up high, hoisted and suspended like an ignoble black angel; gazing down, much like the final rigour mortis repose of Benito Mussolini, who the vengeful Italians left hanging by a rope —coiled taut around his Achilles’ Heels— to contemplate in his final death-throe-contortion the wilful devastation of Italy, and her people, by his very hand.
May that day come for you Mr. Andrews — may you be similarly elevated, commemorated and remembered as a warning.
