With each major city constantly in and out of never-ending lockdowns, the delusional fringes of society are gaining more members every day.
The unfortunate reality that Australians find themselves in due to incompetent governance and a colossally bungled jab roll-out has resulted in vast numbers of disenfranchised workers steering away from the advice of medical experts and seeking out their own version of reality.

“Nah. You’ve got it all wrong” says Blane, as he opens a link with an Eastern European URL.
