I normally avoid mention of my age (for fear of having to act it!
![]() As related in another thread, now my obligations are reduced - at least for a few weeks - when the local GPs have levelled up with the surge in requests I will likely roll up my sleeve. (Unless they’re willing to inject my thigh, which would be preferable as I seldom sit down but use both arms for work.) |

I'm still under 60 and had the AZ shots over 2 months ago, and other than the odd 2 or 3 day blackout where i have no idea where i have been or what i have done, and the homicidal thoughts, it's all roses, never felt better and couldn't be happier......

John and Yoko, isn’t it?
To be serious, my main reservations about the speed with which unproven vaccines (eg the povo vax) were thrust upon us, were firstly about the possibility of effect on unborn babies, (which would have shown up by now) and secondly a common physical manifestation upon others, whether neural or physical (or both). The outcome here has shown, and it’s of low risk. The 31 year old car I drive most days probably jeopardises my health/welfare more. |

Seems it is all but impossible to sue a pharma Co if you get side effects,likewise very rare for anyone to successfully sue a doctor for administering drugs (poisons) which have side effects.So really don’t know if Covid vaccines are any different.

We are making international press for our lock downs and woeful vaccination rate now
![]() Another shift on AZ. As far as I was aware it was always possible to get AZ where not recommended so long as the benefit outweighed the risk based on an individuals circumstances. They want to get vaccination rates up and there is little chance of that happening with AZ in the older population. The only way that is going to happen is giving them a choice of Pfizer (supply problems and shifting advice again) or if the risk profile changes a **** load over the coming weeks and months. So you go another direction and give the under 40s the options to take the AZ. Apparently there has been huge demand for under 40s for AZ since this decision. It does not surprise me at all because there are 0 options at the moment unless you are in the current phases. Though the medical community appear to be very against this decision.

Yep. But until you know me, how old I am, what Hospitalisations I've had, what my lifestyle is I'd suggest you keep your comments your yourself!

It was the "for me and that's it" that pushed your stance from self-preservation to '****-you-got-mine'. Is it really so bad to also think about the effect your choices have on other people as well as yourself? |

It was in QLD's live announcement this morning. QLD have requested more supply to be released from the federal government stash and the request was declined. Qld gov asking for a reason as to why it was declined.

The state run mass vax centres did not have adequate GP consultations so they always deferred advice to ATAGI recommendations, ie wouldn't give AZ to younger than recommended. The federal roll out is via GPs who you could talk to, but it wasn't until now that the fed gov would indemnify them going against ATAGI's best practice of only using AZ for older people. Because the fed gov wants more people vaxxed but only have AZ to offer they're fine with a GPs asking "you sure? (don't care, I'm covered now)" and patient saying "yeah, hope these lockdowns end FFS and I can go on holidays overseas" E: anyway, scomo pushing it now is clearly just political. Wants everyone vaxxed no matter the cost to the unlucky that get clots. Probably only so he can import cheap labourers anyway. Last edited by oldel; 01-07-2021 at 01:17 AM. |

The last COVID related death was 28th of October 2020. This Delta variant might transmit easier, but is it killing people? hmmmmmm, why the panic?

If it gets into the aged sector and indigenous communities it will kill just as well as the original strain...

so it is killing Australians and no-one is telling us?
Sorry I did miss that one, so one death of an unwell 80 year old (which is very sad for their family), but seriously . . . . . . . . . . . . . Don't people think that there is a little over-reaction going on? Are we that scared that we have stopped challenging politicians and I am yet to get an answer to my question 'died of' or 'died with'?
