20-07-2025: The July 6 screening of the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) flagship current affairs show Four Corners covered the staggering increases in early onset cancer diagnoses striking many young people. The ABC headlined that cancer rates in Australians aged under 50 are “rising at a pace that’s alarming doctors and scientists”. Between the year 2000 and the year 2024, for those aged 30 to 39 years old, early onset prostate cancer increased by 500%, pancreatic cancer by 200%, liver cancer by 150%, uterine cancer by 138% and kidney cancer by 85%.[1] The doctors and specialists interviewed for the documentary wondered out aloud why cancer, which was formerly mainly restricted to those aged in their 60s or above, was now becoming a thing for young people. Moreover, cancers which were rare are now something which is more prevalent. For example, liver cancer was formerly restricted to mainly older men with serious alcohol addiction problems – but now it is being diagnosed in young people in their 30s. The documentary speculated that the causes of this disaster might be increasing rates of obesity, high consumption processed food, or microplastics in the environment.[2]

Elephant in the room

While known carcinogenic factors such as these should not be minimised, the Four Corners documentary willfully ignored the elephant in the room – the rollout of mRNA vaccines during a fraudulent “Covid pandemic” from 2021 onwards. In conditions of civil war, vaccine mandates were imposed on millions of workers around the world, presenting them with an ultimatum – take a potentially deadly injection or risk losing the ability to feed yourself and your family. Dr Norman Swan, hosting the July 6 Four Corners episode, was one of the worst offenders with the pushing of the dangerous Covid narrative, pushing people to take the essentially untested mRNA vaccines due to the “danger” of a virus which may or may not exist. Mr Swan stopped practicing medicine in 1982 to move to become an ABC media commentator and personality on health issues, meaning he had not treated anyone for more than 40 years.

This did not prevent Mr Swan from heavily pushing all “Covid” repressive actions, such as lockdowns, no matter how nonsensical, while making predictions that soon turned out to be wildly incorrect. He was forced to apologise for suggesting that Shane Warne – arguably Australia’s greatest cricketer – and Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching had died due to Covid.[3] The sobering reality is that Warne and Kitching were almost certainly victims of the mRNA vaccine, which Swan had fervently pushed. In addition to early onset and “turbo” cancer, there were a litany of “side effects” of the mRNA shots, which many felt forced to take or face losing their jobs or otherwise being ostracised from society. Some of these include: permanent paraplegia (paralysis of legs), chronic fatigue, chronic dizziness, constant severe pain, tinnitus, strokes, sudden heart attacks causing death, miscarriages in pregnant women, migraines, loss of control over bladder and bowel function, blood clots and more.[4] To top it off, for his “services” during the “pandemic”, Dr Swan was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day honours in 2023. George Orwell could not have written such a storyline.

Betrayal of the “left”

Lifelong socialist activist and author Phil Shannon was one of the few leftists who resisted what was a mass capitulation to the capitalist state many swore they opposed. In his brilliant writing style, he skewers the ABC for covering up the rather obvious cause of the stratospheric increase in cancer incidence – the mRNA vaccines themselves. By covering the whole period of cancer diagnosis from the year 2000 to 2024 rather than compare the period of the Covid vaccine mandates/rollout during 2021 to 2024, the ABC conveniently clouds over the blaring warning lights.[5] We may never know the exact proportion of the population which took the mRNA injections, under the threat of a mandate or otherwise, but it may be as high as 80%. The real numbers of those who suffered an adverse reaction, or was injured, or who perished entirely, may never be known. But the ABC – once a publicly funded broadcaster which was somewhat objective – played its role as a propagandist extraordinaire alongside the openly commercial media to which it was originally intended as some kind of alternative.

The ABC was joined during the Covid reign of terror by almost all those who regarded themselves as some type of progressive humanitarian, while their actions demonstrated the very opposite. Most human rights advocates, environmentalists, Union officials and self-described “socialist” organisations folded in March 2020 before the largest black propaganda campaign the world had witnessed. Throwing a sense of proportion and much common sense out the window, these faux leftists effectively merged with the state which many of them swore black and blue was their chief adversary. Instead, a parade of Union officials (with the notable exception of the Red Unions) and a conga line of left parties did not blink as they functioned as enforcers of some of the harshest state repression the Western world had ever experienced. This synthetic “left” turned against anyone who questioned, let alone opposed, the abolition of the most elementary democratic and civil rights under the spurious grounds of “health”.

Amongst the Australian self-described “left”, the Socialist Equality Party, Socialist Alternative, Socialist Alliance, Trotskyist Platform, the Communist Party of Australia, the Communist Workers Party of Australia, the Australian Communist Party, the Communist Party of Australia Marxist-Leninist and the Spartacist League all fell hook, line and sinker for the fabricated Covid storyline.[6] After decades of warning workers not to believe politicians and the mainstream media, this bogus “left” turned around and lawyered for the entire establishment, raging at anyone who merely suggested that we should do our own research. They thundered against the very notion of questioning the motives of the largest private capitalist corporations on planet Earth, or indeed the most powerful imperialist states.

Working people should burn into their memory the treasonous actions of these apostates, who must remain forever disqualified from any leading role in the struggle for a just world. The ABC and other propagandists of the elite must likewise be treated as relics from a world which deserves to remain in the past. Workers should resolve to rebuild a left worthy of the name, from among those who resisted “pandemic” lies and the public health disaster which we must now overcome.
