‘Total madness’: UK professor slams Australia’s ‘totalitarian, Orwellian’ Covid response
November 25, 2024
A leading UK oncologist has slammed Australia’s “disgraceful” Covid response, describing lockdowns and mask mandates as “total madness” and claiming vaccines were largely ineffective at saving lives while causing “a lot” of adverse reactions.
Professor Angus Dalgleish, head of oncology at St George’s Hospital in London and a prominent Covid sceptic, sat down with 2GB host Ben Fordham on Thursday where he rated Australia’s response to the pandemic as “absolutely appalling”.
“I was hoping for something better because it was appalling in the UK,” he said.
“And then what we find is that Australia, New Zealand and Canada all overreacted exactly the same.”
Prof Dalgleish said the only country that “got it right long-term” was Sweden.
“Sweden made the same mistake as the UK initially, putting all of the people from hospital into care homes without checking them,” he said.
“But apart from that blip, they didn’t have any lockdown mandates, they had no … mandates, the vaccines were for people over 70, and they’ve got the lowest excess death rate in the entire western world.”

Fordham pointed out that “meanwhile here in Sydney we were told we weren’t allowed to go five kilometres from our homes, at one stage we were wearing masks even when we were outdoors”.
“That’s absolute madness,” Prof Dalgleish said.
