I could be wrong, but given their small sizecompared to the US, Australia seems to contribute a fair share of anti-early-treatment campaigners.
Australia also figured prominently in the Vioxx fiasco with Merck in the past. With academics up for sale with engineered trials (something like Lopez-Medina level of engineering).
Is there something unique about Australia that makes them prone to more Big Pharma or Merck influence - one big company more easily overshadows a whole industry or lack of diversity of companies?
There are also a fair number of early-treatment skeptics coming out of Australia - many of the fact checkers currently going after Ivermectin trials one by one.
Could that be a side effect of the climate that is developing in Australia - that it is encouraging one-sided behavior by academics seeking to go with the flow?
That is, is the climate producing any number of small McCarthys?
Initially, Dr. Nikolai Petrovsky discusses his vaccine candidates covax-19 (approved in Iran and awaiting approval in Australia).
Conversation moves to the constraints on free speech.

Rough transcript for the section on Australian environment:
at the 23:30 minute mark:
discusses the issue of him taking vaccine and now being told to take one of the recognized ones
at the 25:08 minute mark:
those who participated in the new vaccine trials (Novavax also) - are being treated as unvaccinated for the purpose of the mandates and vaccine passports
are fighting to get that corrected
currently are unable to work as a clinician because are mandating that can't attend the work place - unless get a genetic vaccine
and he already has antibody response - so why should he expose himself to another vaccination
at the 26:50 minute mark:
What doesn't make logical sense - will fight it.
at the 27:00 minute mark:
naturally immune also being required to get vaccine
should be voluntary
is very much against vaccine mandates - very pro choice of vaccine
if have a very good vaccine then people will want to take it
at the 30:00 minute mark:
have to recognize that previously infected if being seen as threat to community
and vaccinated being as less threat
while fact is naturally immune are less of a threat
esp if they can demonstrate antibodies etc.
they should not be forced to go through vaccination if choose not to
Countries like Italy have recognized
Countries like Australia acting differently
why would you not accomodate
at the 31:50 minute mark:
The only reason is to sell existing vaccines
maybe it is the lobbyists
but govts already bought the vaccines - so shouldn't affect that
at the 32:40 minute mark:
theoretically no justification for mandating a naturally immune to get vaccine
but should be based on the science - shouldn't allow politics
at the 34:00 minute mark:
we did have previously infected - after 1 shot of our vaccine - goes up
so mandating 2 shots is odd
so are ignoring the science
if are going to top up immunity - only need 1 shot
but bureaucratics demanding 2 shots
it is just so contrary to all the science
at the 35:00 minute mark:
protein sub-unit vaccines are safe for pregnant ?
influenza vaccine is inactivated - not seen issues
we do exclude pregnant women from trial
have had pregnancies occur by accident as have the other companies
so not seen big issue
we belief it is safe - wouldn't say it is safe - would want lot more data
similarly for children - given to monkeys right after birth - and seems ok
but have to generate the evidence
at the 36:54 minute mark:
(this segment also available as separate video: https://youtu.be/shCMGfkKcgA)
early treatment - what is Australia using not allowing
things pretty locked down - including what drugs doctors allowed to prescribe or even to talk about
illegal in Australia for a doctor to compare 2 different vaccines - if compare Pfizer vs Astrazeneca - their medical registration can be cancelled
if prescribe Ivermectin - is mandatory - will lose license
unlawful for a doctor to prescribe ivermectin
it is the most astonishing thing
it is not only that they removed all of the civil liberties - vaccination, lockdown states
done extraordinary things to gag all doctors and interfering with doctors ability to prescribe medications
it is unheard of in history but is happening
at the 38:57 minute mark:
Why is this happening?
Is what a lot of us are happening.
We have a group in power who believe they have the god given right to dictate
and no one allowed to discuss that
and we don't have a constitution that gives us a right to exercise free speech
so they can make it illegal for a doctor to discuss vaccines with patients
we just assumed our politicians are benign and well meaning
but everyone is shaking their heads about how did this happen
The only avenue is legal action
A lot of legal actions about to be commenced in Australia to get some rights back
at the 40:50 minute mark:
So are you going to get into trouble for doing this podcast?
Absolutely
But if you don't speak out you are accepting the tyranny
Yes there will be consequences - because they have made things illegal including stuff like this
I have daily threats delivered to me from the establishment reinforcing that
But you are morally compelled to stand up when you think they are really wrong - and they are really wrong in Australia right now
at the 41:54 minute mark:
Don't have words to express what to say
Have to say this is personal view - and required to say that - but even that doesn't entirely protect me against disciplinary action
Or for commenting on the current situation here
at the 42:40 minute mark:
Wow
People talk about living in China or Russia
Right now probably more rights there
Am not an extremist - but are being pushed in a situation that none of us dreamt up would every be in
Was talking to a judge the other day - and he was just shaking his head - how did we get here
They are all shaking their heads and saying
(compare to how so many of the anti-early-treatment brigade includes Australian academics - will they be seen as the new McCarthy)
at the 44:20 minute mark:
Wait - the police could come to you for going on a podcast
Absolutely!
And the irony is even the police are running scared of police actions.
Police mandated themselves - are seeing it from perspective of policeman - saying we are scared of what happening.
The powers that govt assuming - that is an unheard of situation
at the 46:00 minute mark:
That's not a democracy then.
Well that is what people are starting to realize.
Under the cover of a pandemic. When people are used to losing some rights.
But under the stealth of that have a govt that just taken total control over their lives.
at the 46:50 minute mark:
Australia is not like this - but have a govt that gone out of control.
This is quite alien.
Am confident that issues will be addressed but will take time.
at the 48:00 minute mark:
In Australia is covax-19
In Iran is spikegen.
So is different names for same thing.
at the 49:10 minute mark:
Is approved in Iran
Are trying to get approved in Australia
there doesn't seem to be anything here
