‘There’s very little chance any of us will die from COVID-19’: Rowan Dean

A Victorian government ad with prominent woke celebrities lecturing on how the virus is the enemy not the lockdowns is emblematic of “how freedom disappears” according to Sky News host Rowan Dean. A Victorian government ad campaign featuring celebrities like Magda Szubanski and Waleed Ali, told viewers to remain diligent with COVID-safe activities like handwashing, while reminding them the lockdowns aren’t the enemy, the virus is. “This is insidious. What is so repulsive about that ad is that they’re going on about ‘oh the lockdown isn’t the enemy, the virus is the enemy,” Mr Dean said. “We’re talking about totalitarianism, the invisible unseen enemy out there. “We all know what the virus is, we all know what the risks are, and we all know that there’s very very little chance of any of us ever actually dying from it.” He said collaboration between the entertainment industry and governments working together to “sell this insidious message” is typically how freedoms begin to disappear. Sky News host James Morrow said the Victorian government was running an “utterly Stalinist line” with this ad campaign. Image: Getty
