In my opinion we nearly nailed it......Excepting Vics shambolic, amnesia riddled early mismanagement and the Feds screwing up by running the "its not a race line". It was always a race. The Feds business and personal support packages and the speed they introduced it is now forgotten, but it was better or at least as good as anywhere. Even accepting our toll mainly from Victoria, if we were now sitting at 50% plus fully vaxxed, I would have called it the best response in the world.

so a 'vaccine' that doesnt prevent you from getting covid, just lessen the affect is a way of being covid free?
how does that work??? We all just walk around having contracted thinking we are safe because we had jab? That doesnt stop a pandemic... it just masks it. If the vaccine 'stopped' you getting it... that's a whole lot of reason to get it and I suspect would be a 100% uptake by the public.....

This is my opinion on the subject in regards to Vaccines. I believe the the 2 Vaccines currently available were rushed to the market in a race to be 1st. 1st equals the biggest profits. The technology in them is not fully proven and no one knows the long term effects. They do not even accurately know how long they will protect you for. When people you know start telling you incidents you start to take notice. We have all received multiple vaccinations in the past so it is no big deal, I am not anti-vax. From what I can work out, I will be waiting for the Novavax Vaccine to be approved later in the year, as it based on traditional technology that has been used in vaccines for the last 20+ years. But even with that one, I can see people both for and against it for various reasons. It is a bit like selecting your poison of choice.

Your not going to stop the pandemic. Just the results are better, for both those that are vaccinated, and everyone else.

Incoming curve ball....
![]() The virus is called the "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2" (SARS-CoV-2). The disease it causes is "coronavirus disease" (COVID-19). Vaccine helps train your body to fight the virus so it doesn't turn into the disease. Vaccine doesn't stop you from getting the virus.

tl;dr, the vaccines skipped to the front of the queue instead of waiting in line. The testing itself was unchanged... The reason why it usually takes years for a vaccine to come out isn't because the testing takes years, it's because there are hundreds of private companies all waiting in line to be tested. All of the test results from each phase of testing is available online with a simple google search, this is all stuff you can verify yourself if you choose to rather than regurgitating what you read on Facebook. |

Vax reaction - 0 The 2 covids were in the 2nd wave last year. One is still having fatigue issues. The other required both a liver & kidney transplant, and 12 months on is only able to work 3 days a week.

Very well put...but not what a lot of people want to want to hear. Someone will chime in about how likely a lightning bolt is or some other misguided analogy they heard on the oestrogen overloaded TV channel that has no adds. Alternate facts as a justification works very well if aid often enough.

Is that part of the same Gov rules urgently advicing these poor citizens to return home over 18 months ago.

I dont know why people are getting so uptight about the jab...take it if you want, its not sold as an antidote so lets not spin it that way. There currently is no other meaningful path, we can not keep the country closed indefinitely, so to give yourself and others the best chance of not becoming seriously ill then what other choice is there? How about after everyone has had the chance to be jabbed that if you contract and you decided not to vac you can flip the bill and be liable for other damages? The vaccines have been developed quickly, but we also have the technology to do it quicker than prior pandemics and while I harbor some reservations I am still yet to see a better idea. We have a long history of vaccinations, we know it works in theory, we have billions of people around the world administered so while we do run a risk of long term unknown effects again what are the options? Both side of the arguments have valid points, just pick your lesser evil and remember that a government needs to administer policy for all, not select groups so the "ill be right" mantra is not good enough in this case.

I'm kinda looking at those that can not wait to start flying out from our great country are the ones who are selfish. Not the ones who are standing back and questioning the logic and speed of mass vaccination.

And yes, you could also tell her that you found out that Google is a very powerful tool in finding unbiased, objective facts on just about any of these clinical trials, and indeed find that they were not rushed after all. If you so choose, of course. You're welcome to continue believing what you want from wherever you found it, it's no bother to me. And yes, if you're saying things like "I'm not an anti-vaxxer, I just believe that the vaccine has been rushed for political gain", then yea, you're probably going to lumped in with the rest of them. |

Just because some have a life that is completely domestic doesn't meant that we all have the same requirements. (keep in mind the % of immigration within Australia's history). Its not 1700, you cant close your country off to the rest of the world indefinitely. But the current situation suits your lifestyle, fine, and everyone else? What would you propose? What would you do if you have dying family OS, you had the ability to see them and are happy to quarantine but your country doesn't let you? There are some civil rights here, that being the right to return to your country that Australia is currently playing with. https://www.ag.gov.au/rights-and-pro...eedom-movement All because we couldn't get our act together. We did the ease and correct thing at the start and havent seemed to make much progress with processes nor vaccination...thats where the angst should be.

My wife and I have had both Pfizer injections. Other than slight tenderness at the injection site we have had no side effects for either injection.

They are directed at the typical “I’m ok Jack, feck you” attitude that exists and has massively escalated since this pandemic began. They are directed at those warm and comfy unadventurous souls, that live their typically boring mundane lives, venturing no further than, maybe the Gold Coast for their annual hols… These same souls, typing madly away on social media espousing their wrath against “these poor citizens” AUSTRALIAN citizens, who have the sheer audacity to EXPECT to be able to return to THEIR HOME country!… “Oh, you were warned”, “you should have upped tents & camels and been back 18 months ago”,.. “Bad luck buddy, ya missed the bus”, “It’s all on you d…head, for not listening to the God almighty Politicians that manage Australia” The very same Australia that I was born in, (as were at least 3 generations of my ancestors) The same Australia I paid 50+ years of taxes to, The same Australia that issued the Passport I carry. That SAME passport that not too long ago, allowed me unlimited free exit and entry… So now, I’m WHAT? An undesirable?, An unwanted Australian? (Because I’m still overseas) A refugee? (To be housed in their previous accommodation anyhow) Test me for Covid sure!, but at the end of the day, NO Australian government has THE RIGHT to blatantly turn their back on their own citizens! War, catastrophe, pandemic… I don’t care! It is MY bloody right to be able to freely travel to the country on the front of my passport!! Have a REAL hard think about this! Australian citizens basic human rights have been thrown out the door, and Australians are clapping their hands!! (Thanks to MSM, and inept leaders) It’s a damn disgrace!! For the record… I am NOT trying to get back!… My issue is it is MY RIGHT to be allowed if I desire!!
