Letter from a serving member of the state of Victoria Police in Australia

Hi Tommy.

I am a current serving member of Victoria Police in Australia. I am embarrassed by my organizations approach to policing this so called pandemic. Just thought Id reach out to you and let you know that there are many among us that dont agree with this approach and are willing to put our careers on the line to speak out against it.

I am one of those and I hope that by me speaking out it may encourage others to do the same.

Following is the body of an email I sent to Victoria Police Management, yesterday, prior to todays protest in Melbourne.

It may cost me my Career but its a small price to pay in the pursuit of liberty and an end to this current dictatorship we are living under.

Keep up the good work.

Hi boss.

Thanks for checking on me today. I really do appreciate your concern for my well-being. It means a lot to me.

Much of what is causing me sleepless nights at the moment is directly related to the impact of self reflection and how I view myself as a person, a husband, father, a Victorian citizen and a Police Officer, and what my future looks like.

I am ready to move forward with my life and career, and plan to return to work on Sunday 26/09 for Night Shift, however I need to express how I feel about whats going on around us all.

Acting contrary to what I believe is right, is causing conflict in my life that I need to eliminate in order to remain healthy, and so I wish to make my thoughts, and position on current workplace issues known, specifically related to Policing COVID.

They say the definition of insanity is repeating the same actions over and over and expecting a different result. It is my sincere and firmly held belief, based on the available evidence, that these repeated lockdowns and vaccine demands are exactly that; insanity, as they clearly do not work to eradicate this virus.

To that end, from the data shown by countries whose vaccination programs are far advanced in quantities administered compared to our own, such as Israel and the UK, it is abundantly clear that these vaccines do not prevent neither infection of or the transmission of COVID-19, nor do they have a significant impact on the reduction of the severity of symptoms.

From the many millions of doses of these experimental vaccines being administered around the world, enough data has been collected to determine their efficacy and safety, which shows clearly, they are neither effective or safe.

This information is freely available and known to all who are willing to seek it and is, in my opinion, a driving catalyst behind the actions by many Victorian citizens who are seeking to protest against the continuing breach of their Human Rights and an end to this insanity which is destroying families, livelihoods and the education and mental health of our children.

I have personally suffered the consequences of the Governments approach to Policing this pandemic which has divided my family, resulting in my 20 year marriage ending, my childrens school results plummeting and their mental and physical health deteriorating due to repeated restrictions on their freedom of participation in community sport and various other after school activities.

To say this situation has had an enormously negative impact on mine and my families lives is a massive understatement. I am sure there are literally thousands of stories, similar to my own, scattered throughout the Victorian community.
