Downer suggests Australian States can& #39;t legally close borders.

Borders did close borders and it was legal.

Downer ponders "the moral dilemma of our time"

His most unconscionable tweet - there& #39;s no moral dilemma - human existence must come before capitalism or life on earth will cease to exist.

There& #39;s no moral dilemma for those of us with morals.

In a subtle attempt to undermine Dan Andrews in the middle of a 2nd wave, Downer compares VIC to UK

Downer was awfully quiet about UK& #39;s statistics later in 2020 when UK recorded massive numbers of cases & deaths & VIC was virtually COVID-free

Downer continued his COVID gaslighting, ill-informed comments & attacks on Australian states for their successful COVID action despite losing his otherwise healthy 41yr old friend to COVID.

Remember he said COVID was & #39;madness& #39;?

Downer again talked down the enormity of the COVID problem.

He was as quiet as a church mouse when just weeks later the UK& #39;s COVID cases & deaths went through the roof - he chose not to compare statistics then

Downer still giving out COVID advice from his comfy self-appointed epidemiologist chair while lamenting the fact he doesn& #39;t know the facts

Despite every trapping of privilege Downer chose not to inform himself of the science. Still hasn& #39;t

Downer still comparing COVID to the flu.

A man in his position who uses his platform to dismiss the science of COVID when he has zero medical training is dangerous & proves a lack of intelligence & moral fortitude.

Downer boasts of Australia& #39;s restraint while simultaneously using every opportunity to undermine the science & criticizing every action that helped to achieve that restraint.

Would& #39;ve cost us a lot more without States& #39; effective measures

Downer continues to boast on the world stage that Australia has handled the pandemic quite well.

Despite that, he continues to attack Australian States (predominately Labor States) & lockdowns that helped to achieve that success.

And finally, despite everything Downer managed to fly back & forth to Australia during the pandemic.

His privilege ensured he was prioritized over #strandedAussies & those missing out on family funerals & other important occasions.

He flouted his privilege

@AlexanderDowner you accuse Twitter of lacking manners while you yourself accuse ppl like me of being & #39;Feral Lefties& #39; I put it to you that you have consistently been wrong, divisive & duplicitous about COVID while omitting facts that don& #39;t fit your narrative.

Is that a well-mannered enough take-down for you @AlexanderDowner?

You should spend less time worrying about manners & more time searching for your moral compass & facts about COVID before using your ivory tower platform to misinform & undermine Australians
