Exactly my point. 18 months into the pandemic and running commentary from the usual suspects but you dont see one proper q and a from epidemiologists or doctors, scientists on television, just Dan, the CHO, and whomever else they roll out to talk.
This leaves a vacuum. One that gets filled by talk with stuff they interpret from a presser, which might be an error, or misquote or whatever.
They have very much failed to have proper engagement with people about why there is an issue and instead have resorted to the stick in respect to getting vaccinated rather the carrot.
You must watch different TV Thry. Dr Norman Swan is a regular on the ABC (TV and radio) and responds to questions from the punters. Many other doctors, epidemiologists, immunologists, scientists, the team that does the modelling for the CHO, the Doherty Institute, the Garvan Institute, etc, etc are also regulars.
The thing is that the conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and neo-nazis are deaf to science and logic.
