Here’s what the MSM are saying:

Twice a victim.

Thanks @sweatyman

Despite having 4 shots - here I am, coughing, spluttering and feeling like I’ve been shirt-fronted by Sammy Draper.

That which doesn’t kill me (the jury’s out), only makes me stronger.

Hope you are not taking medical advice from RFK jnr. Get well, your stuff is good work.

Thank you.

RFK jnr. Nah, I’m reckoning on going back to the Resident Orang-utan’s advice in them early days and injecting some bleach into my veins.

350 million Americans re-elected him after these words of wisdom… so there’s verification/justification.

Well, that sucks. Wishing you a speedy recovery. If bleach doesn’t do the job you could do a Joe Rogan and start pumping Ivermectin. (Just kidding, don’t do that) Anyway, regardless, you are not up for any medical leave, do not desert your position, you are to stay at your post at the front!!

Russia want our man the Aussie Cossack in exchange for the soldier captured?
Sounds like a fair trade to me…

Russian group pushes to free accused spies in exchange for Australian Oscar Jenkins

You’d think about 10 seconds on that deal and take it.

They, some Russian self-appointed human rights body, also want some Russian spies.

Now the Russian branch of the International Committee for the Protection of Human Rights has suggested Mr Jenkins could be exchanged for the married Korolev couple from Brisbane, along with Sydney fugitive Simion Boikov, known as “Aussie Cossack”.

If the Russians could transfer to Essendon an 18yo 197cm 98kg forward who can hold a mark and kick accurately for goal, I think we should sweeten the Aussie Cossack deal by also offering Hobbs and 2nd rounder in addition.

I’d exchange Aussie Ball.sack for a sack of potatoes and a crate of vodka.
