Hi everyone i hope you're all well so for about a year of this pandemic many people
internationally gushed over Australia's response to covid they congratulated our
leaders for successfully eradicating the virus from the community and the dutiful
compliance of our citizens in adhering to short sharp lockdowns whenever cases emerged however
that admiration has turned to incredulity over the past couple of months given that for
that time period an average of 12 to 13 million Australian's which is about half the population
have been in lockdown as if we are still in March 2020. see well the rest of the world
has learned to live with this virus vaccine or no vaccine australia this backwater little island at
the bottom of the world has stubbornly held onto its covid zero policy and all for a virus that
according to the world health organization the big official source is asymptomatic to mild 80 of the
time and has a global case fatality rate of about 2 percent both of which are pre-vaccine numbers
by the way but since our state premiers have gained so much power and political capital from
terrifying the public into believing that lockdowns are the only way to manage kovid
even though the world health organization actually stopped recommending them to control outbreaks
last year because of the massive societal damage they do our premiers keep going with the lockdowns
because the increasingly brainwashed public wants them but before i go any further and because i
love me some capitalism a quick shout out to this video sponsor slug.com slug is a terrific pro free
speech website that is outside of big tech and it is as we know so important to support these
alternative platforms as well as me it features many of the content creators that you know and
love and i would really love for you to join me there and be part of my group the link is in the
video description now one of the main arguments against lockdowns is the damage it does to mental
health however i find that lockdown fetishists are immovable even on that front they just make
superficial noises of sympathy and then pivot by saying that state governments should just throw
more money at mental health services as if that is going to fix it however it's a bit hard to pivot
from mental health when it comes to mental health of children and teenagers some rather alarming
data has come to light in recent weeks about the mental distress australia's harsh covert
policies are causing kids and teens there has been a rather large spike in children as young as five
presenting with mental health problems including ideation around terminating one's own existence
thanks to these stupid lockdowns according to data from the kids helpline which is a distressed phone
line for children and teens young people have been calling the service in record numbers in 2021.
data from the organization's six monthly report released last week reveals a 200 %
increase in counseling contacts made by five-year-olds over the first six months of this
year compared to the same period last year from 14 last year to 42 this year citing issues including
emotional well-being loss and grief the statistics also show that weekly demand from young people
generally for the counselling service increased by 68 % in new south wales from june to july similar
increases in the states of victoria and south australia of 52 % and 50 % respectively were recorded
during the same period which is when these big lockdowns started again calls to the helpline rose
30 % of victoria in the first six months of this year compared with the same period last year and
rose by 14 % in new south wales currently now that we're in the second half of the year melbourne's
recent two-week lockdown which started in mid-july and was the city's fifth lockdown coincided
with the highest number of calls to the kids helpline at an average of over 500 calls a day
melbourne has just gone into its sixth lockdown by the way which won't end until at least september
and it's all for about 20 something covid cases a day just by the way sydney's current lockdown
that is the capital of new south wales which began in late june has triggered a jump of more than
50 % in calls to the kids helpline and hit a pandemic all-time high of 4143 calls in the week
beginning july 19. victorian children made 3632 calls in the same period disturbingly the helpline
has noticed an increase in ideation of taking one's own life including among kids aged five to
nine thanks to the lockdowns data from the first half of 2021 revealed that kids counselors called
ambulances police or child safety officers for emergency intervention to save 37 children a week
who were contemplating taking their own lives with kids as young as five calling for help that is
nearly double the number of the same period last year the average weekly total of calls regarding
that particular issue including those that did not need an ambulance was 69. high school teenagers
were the worst affected with 1 635 calls of that nature among 15 to 18 year olds and
again remember these particular numbers are from before the current lockdowns kids helpline chief
executive tracy adams said calls from primary school children had soared 200 % with more than
1600 children aged 5 to 9 calling for help and among the 42 calls from five-year-olds one child
was on the verge of taking their own life at five years old each wanted to talk about loss and grief
one suffered sexual abuse and another reported family violence more on that later in the video
by the way and in addition to the kids helpline data the royal australian and new zealand college
of psychiatrists has revealed that emergency hospital visits from children and teenagers with
mental health issues have risen between 25 and 40 percent nationally since the start of the pandemic
lockdowns domestic abuse and online learning are fueling this covert anxiety and depression among
these children for example some are too scared to breathe outdoors for fear of getting sick

the link is in the video description and in the pinned comment the situation is particularly
dire of course in the state of victoria which is not surprising given how locked down happy
their premier daniel andrews is new data from the victorian coroner's report has revealed that in
2021 eight teenage girls took their own lives to july 31 up from just one in the first seven months
of last year these tragic events are part of a general youth mental health crisis prevalent in
victoria teenage girls are displaying some of the worst symptoms with increasing eating disorders
self-harm and social thoughts or actions early this year the number of new eating disorder cases
sharply increased from a weekly average of 654 in 2020 to 878 in 2021 a 34 increase and as someone
who in fact suffered from an eating disorder on and off for 10 years let me tell you that wouldn't
be much fun the number of teenagers rushed to hospital after self-harming and thoughts of taking
their own lives spiked 51 rising from a weekly average of 98 in 2020 to 148 this year and as
for the most serious cases when teenagers needed emergency care and resuscitation they went up 44.9
with a 2020 weekly average of 19.8 percent rising to 28.7 percent this year and to capital attempted
rates among victorian teenagers skyrocketed by 184 from december 1st 2020 to may 31st 2021
according to the kids helpline now the quite disgusting thing about this youth mental health
crisis in victoria is that the state government has not only ignored it but deliberately covered
it up the australian newspaper exposed this week that the andrews government is
refusing to release regular reports compiled by the victorian agency for health information
detailing this eruption in mental health cases in kids and teens in fact the victorian state
government is so intent on keeping this data from victorians at the vahi's report covering february
and march this year included this warning to doctors this report is provided to you as an
authorised recipient by accessing this report you agree to keep the information confidential
if you have received this report in error please destroy it good grief the newspaper obtained two
of these reports including the destroy it document which detailed the stats from early this year
the vahi reports notes significant variances on pre-coronavirus levels across key psychiatric
categories among the most alarming findings were in the six weeks to march 28 average weekly
emergency department presentations for children and teenagers aged up to 17 was running at 319 a
27 increase on the 251 cases for the same period in 2020. the reports confirmed that teenage girls
are among the hardest hit by the lockdown and suggest that girls age 12 and above are battling
a wave of serious eating disorders the six week average to february 28 saw known patient treatment
numbers jumped from 279 in 2020 to 352 this year here is a more personal analysis from this
victorian gp right i want to bring in a melbourne gp dr stacy harris who's no stranger to these
issues of mental health you wrote to the premier about the mental health of young people and what
you were seeing coming through your practice you never got a reply from daniel andrews give
me a sense of what you you're seeing now i mean people are saying to me this sixth lockdown has
been the tipping point for absolutely and that's i'm saying exactly that and the word is shattered
people are shattered i've seen parents of kids that are suffering and normally the parents are
like they've got to get them through they've got to get them through these parents are now
shattered they don't know what else to do they don't know who to go to um we can't we we can't
do anything apart from trying to help these dear poor kids i've got kids going on eating strikes
because of this lockdown um kids saying they're going to jump out of windows to see their friends
um because they're that desperate to see their friends this lockdown is doing
this sixth one is doing way more harm michael cargreg you might know um well-known psychologist
i spoke with him the other day i've been in touch with many psychologists never in his 30 years of
doing psychology has he seen the explosion of mental health in adolescents and and kids and
that's what i'm seeing and all of gps are seeing now the reason the victorian state government is
trying to keep this information from the public is likely because they are terrified that if people
knew about how harmful lockdowns are for children and teenagers there would be a massive swing of
public sentiment against lockdowns and premier daniel andrews just couldn't have that he'd lose
all the lovely power and popularity he's gained by enforcing these lockdowns victoria's chief
health officer professor brett sutton the man who green lights the victorian lockdowns was actually
asked about the youth mental health crisis in his state at a press conference on tuesday
here's the exchange in terms of what's at stake we've had eight females under the age of 18 die
by side according to the latest colonial data between january and uh the middle and july this
year that's the highest number in five years 51 increase when it comes to teenage self-harm and
emergency departments i mean how are you preparing or how does your how do your rules take that
into account um given this this mental health emergency that we've heard so much about well
these are absolutely tragic circumstances but i've been asked this question a hundred times
it's always the same answer that the alternative is that this goes on for longer and it's harsher
or we suffer hundreds of deaths literally hundreds of deaths from coronavirus and
they would be deaths in families that have young people that have grandparents parents
i mean the sheer level of cope flailing straw clutching and false equivalence there is frankly
impressive you suck but wait believe it or not there is more one of the reasons so many
more children are calling the kids helpline and presenting to emergency departments is because
of an increase in family violence thanks to kids being locked in a physically abusive environment
but it's not simple domestic abuse that we are talking about if domestic views abuse is ever
simple the australian bureau of statistics revealed in june that sexual assault among
family members so children being assaulted in that way by blood relatives went up 13
in 2020 which was the year of victoria's infamous 112 day long lockdown that six times the yearly
increase in family sexual assault of the previous two years and who knows what that number will be
in 2021 that statistic alone should be enough to throw cold water on anyone still arguing
that these lockdowns and border closures are the only good way for australia to manage covet 19.
let alone when you put it alongside the other tragic figures that i have mentioned
already in this video and look it's not just a matter of throwing money at the problem which
is what bureaucrats and lockdown fetishists always argue all the mental health services
in the world won't fix this problem while the lockdowns are still occurring what will at least
start fixing the problem is ending the lockdowns and letting kids go back to school free from
the terrible anxiety of an uncertain future the lockdown policies implemented by australia's state
governments are i think going to be responsible for the desecration of an entire generation of
australians who knows how many kids whether they're calling helplines or going it alone
will die in the next 10 years or so from taking their own lives drug overdoses or alcohol abuse
thanks to the monumental damage the lockdowns have done to their minds
during their developmental years all of that has yet to be seen but as time progresses and the full
scale of the consequences of these lockdowns are seen in australia's youth as they grow up
we'll know that the people to blame are australia's premiers and health bureaucrats
who seem to believe that making themselves look good by defeating a virus that is in the
vast majority of cases not fatal and not severe is more important than keeping children alive
