In June 2022, Gigi Foster was interviewed by Jan Jekielek on the Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders program. They discussed at length the huge human costs attributable to lockdown policies in Australia and around the world. You can now watch the full interview via this link.
All of these actions we take with the closing of the borders and the domestic lockdowns and in Australia we also had a huge amount of fiscal outlay to support people who are kicked out of their jobs – these actions have costs! And nowhere was that actually factored in to the policy-making in Australia. Even now, a week ago I was on one of our national TV programs, and still the focus was on how many people have been saved from covid deaths, rather than: how many people have we killed with our policy response? And that is the question: How many people would you be willing to kill in order to save one from covid? That is essentially the trade-off. That’s the kind of question we should have been asking.
