Toot toot! Get on the Vaccine Bus!

• Jabba the Bus is coming for you.
• What works to Increase Vaccine Uptake (pdf link)

Zero day

• News Corp have said they’ll “champion net zero emissions” (for two weeks).
• This follows a senate inquiry into the Sky News Covid falsities that led to their channel being suspended from Youtube.
• News Corp is responsible for some of the worst climate misinfo in the world.
• The package will be led by Joe Hildebrand.
• But don’t worry, regular commentators like Andrew Bolt won’t be “muzzled”.
• Net zero isn’t the same as real zero.
• Greta Thunberg calls for real zero.
• Santos is just a friend to coffee shops.

Activism, but make it very dumb

• In reality show The Activist, Usher and Nick Jonas’s wife will judge contestants on how good they make solving the world’s problems sound.
• The show is produced in partnership with advocacy group Global Citizen, which was founded by Hugh Evans, the “Melbourne man with A-listers on speed dial”.
• Global Citizen specializes in running benefit concerts, to dubious effect.
• Australia is finally supporting the TRIPs waiver for COVID vaccines.
• The Gates foundation has long opposed any kind of weakening of intellectual property restrictions for vaccines.
