His argument appears to be;

“I’m right, and if you disagree, you belong in a medical ward for mental illness. If you disagree with me you belong in Looneytown.”

For those who watched those video clips above and were wondering how reliable Sky News Australia was as a source…

> **[Sky News Australia suspended from YouTube over new Covid rules](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/08/01/sky-news-australia-suspended-youtube-new-covid-rules/)**
>
> The one-week suspension was issued on Thursday

> [@](#):
>
> Sky News Australia has been banned for a week from uploading videos to Youtube after it was accused of spreading misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.
> 
> The Sky News Australia channel on YouTube received a “strike” over “numerous” video clips, including “content that denies the existence of Covid-19,” the video platform said.
> 
> It means that the broadcaster is blocked from publishing videos on YouTube for seven days, and will be permanently banned from the platform if it receives a second and third strike in future.
> 
> The ban reflects how hugely popular social media websites such as Youtube are increasingly taking steps to tackle misinformation published by high-profile users such as celebrities and broadcasters.

So…completely reliable then.
