Construction began this week on a $96-million New South Wales government-funded mRNA vaccine development factory at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
But before the bulldozers showed up to break ground, something else cropped up at the construction site — a “Forest of the Fallen.”
“Forest of the Fallen” is “a silent display” of stories about people who died or were injured after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. The display features pictures of the victims and their stories, each one tacked to the top of a tall stake and planted in the ground.
Medical commentator John Campbell, Ph.D., interviewed Australian journalist Alison Bevege who reported on the display and its installation last month at the mRNA vaccine factory construction site.
Bevege told Campbell:
“Each stake holds the story of an Australian maimed by the COVID gene vaccines. They swayed over land that will produce more of the product that hurt them, as birds sang in trees marked for destruction.”
Bevege, a journalist who used to write for News Ltd, Reuters and Daily Mail, became a bus driver during the COVID-19 pandemic instead of being locked down and working from home. She started her “Letters from Australia” Substack during the lockdown.
Bevege told Campbell she wondered why public health officials were talking about things like intramuscular injection of the COVID-19 shots. They said, “Don’t worry about aspirating the needle” — which she learned was wrong from watching Campbell’s videos.
“It was very confusing … with different information coming through,” she said. So she decided to “follow what the published papers were saying and there seemed to be dissenting science which was being censored.”
She set out to find the “really trustworthy information.” She verified it, then explained it on her Substack and shared it with others.
Bevege shared her perception of what happened in Australia during the pandemic and after:
“None of the guilty parties have been punished for things that they’ve done. In fact, they’ve been given medals, for example, Dan Andrews presided over the longest lockdowns almost in the world.”
“The whole country didn’t need to be shut in their houses for such a long period of time,” Bevege said. But Andrews, the premier of Victoria, “presided over that and he was given a medal — the highest honor in the country.”
According to Bevege, “Nobody has been held to account” and nobody has been punished or even “allowed to ask the question, you know, Why did you get it so wrong?”
She said the gatekeepers who can control the situation don’t acknowledge the magnitude of the problem. And doctors “had to start their own body called AMPS,” the Australian Medical Professionals’ Society, “because their own medical boards are not doing their job.”
Bevege said the system is incentivized to produce mRNA vaccines. It’s all about the jobs this industry is bringing — but people have forgotten that mRNA technology has consequences.
Campbell asked Bevege about her thoughts on censorship. She said that eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant has been on ABC saying, “We need censorship for child safety.” Bevege said this is “the old trope they always roll out every time they want to censor us” and that “the real goal” seems to be to “end free speech on the internet.”
Campbell said his “fear is that we enter into a new … totalitarian dark age. The reason we do this is to combat against it.”

Bevege discussed the need to share dissenting views and that during the pandemic, you could only access these views through platforms like Substack and Rumble. YouTube and Twitter were censored “until Elon Musk took over.”
Campbell asked about Bevege’s neighborhood walks. She said she invites people who have attended “Forest of the Fallen” to walk with her in Centennial Park once a month. They walk and talk, supporting each other and sharing information.
“Everybody has a story to tell,” she said, but it’s OK if some don’t want to talk. Just gathering for walks like these helps people process what’s been going on in the world, she said. “Everyone can do that — it’s free.”
