Public health expert says Black Lives Matter protests should be allowed to go ahead

That protest went ahead, drawing more than 10,000 people into the city's CBD, with rallies in other capital cities also drawing thousands.

"The medical advice is that this is an unsafe thing to do. It puts not only your own health at risk, but it puts other people's lives at risk," he said. But University of Sydney political scientist Sarah Cameron said stripping Australians of their right to protest peacefully was dangerous, even in the midst of a pandemic.

livhewson Here’s a twist...what if the virus spreads like wild fire due to the protests and many black people die? Do those lives matter, or is it only the tiny minority that are killed by white cops?

SBS 'some random leftard that also wets the bed confirms our worthless opinion' would be a better headline

One hopes he wasn't talking as a heath expert but rather expressing an opinion on how both issues are of equal importance. For a heath expert to suggest that close quarter gathering, for a cause during a pandemic, is acceptable would surely bring into question ones competence?

Everywhere in Oz is safe enough to march except Victoria.

Than that public health expert should step down.

you need to be defunded

riot gear ,rubber bullets, tear gas, water canon. baton charge to break up the mob

I will disregard any public health official’s opinion.

Well that's it the rest of us can tell the authoritiain state leaders to go fuck themselves we can do as we please

Well that health expert needs to be fired

I really think that if you cared about black lives you wouldn’t be so keen on risking the spread of a virus that apparently kills them much more disproportionately...

LNPlogic says that the virus responds to context

They will go ahead either way!!!!

Very dumb headline because health experts have also condemned the protests saying they shouldn't go ahead. You'll only report one side though. Why do we fund you?

Fortunately we don't take political advice from health professionals.

'Public Health Association of Australia chief executive Terry Slevin' Are we back to 'pick your own expert' again?

well, if stadiums are now open for business, and nobody wanted to ban extremist conspiracy movements or haircut enthusiasts... seems a bit shit to ban one, but not the others.
