It's the reason the UK is not recommending vaccinating children, because the risks of vaccine side effects outweigh the actual risk of getting covid for a child. As you can see from these statistics, the deaths are nearly non-existent in children. https://www.aap.org/en/pages/2019-no...l-data-report/ As of October 14, nearly 6.2 million children have tested positive for COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic. The past week about 131,000 child COVID cases were added, the sixth consecutive weekly decrease from the pandemic peak of nearly 252,000 child cases added the week of September 2nd. However, 131,000 cases remains an extremely high number of newly diagnosed children. Over 1.1 million child cases were added over the past six weeks. Among states reporting, children were 0.00%-0.25% of all COVID-19 deaths, and 7 states reported zero child deaths In states reporting, 0.00%-0.03% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death. The problem with adults getting it is the variability of it. You can have perfectly healthy under 30's randomly getting it and getting very sick, or dying from it in the odd case, while a whole bunch of similar aged/healthy people remain asymptomatic. It's a lottery. |

I'd say they are still feeling the burn from the H1N1 vaccine compensation, which caused narcolepsy in children. Good to see they have learnt and are taking a more cautious approach, we should be doing the same......

Yes that was an obvious bait but that aside, doctors know that covid causes damage to organs. There is no saying what will happen to these kids in 5, 10, 15 years after a covid infection. In 10 years we may have a wave of teenagers in heart failure. Or kids just dropping dead playing sports. There is so much more to consider than just whether someone dies during the infection period. |

How weird is this.
I am in the position of my not being due my 2nd jab until early next month. So in NSW I can't get a hair cut, go to the pub, gym or eat in a restaurant. I just had my dentist appointment confirmed and they haven't asked anything about vaccination status, just the usual asking about if you are feeling ill or showing signs of covid ect ect not to attend. I can't think of a profession or a situation that would be more of a covid risk than being in dental, yet they have soldiered through. Sure it is a very needed service but it is just another thing that does not add up.

I personally think this obsession with vaccination status is redundant. ACT Health are not going to enforce this in contrast to NSW but business can do so if they wish but they probably won't in the main.
Sure if they had opened stuff up earlier for those fully vaccinated then I could understand the carrot/stick approach to it but now see not a whole lot of point. Wear masks, sanitise hands, and check in should be enough. |

I got mine from Canada Trev, it was 2012, ordered online, I was very sick, but couldn't even get the proper tests here, I paid a doctor in USA, he told me what, where and how to get it, he said go through a certain website, and was directed to a supplier in Canada, not sure if it worked or not, mainly due to existing health issues, it wasn't called Ivermectin, just named as an ingredient.
Went through the dark net, wanted to be anonymous, not sure now what it was called, 3 tablets, but ordered 200 x 100mg doxycycline at same time, my GP dident believe we have Lyme disease in Australia, I know otherwise! |

More surprising this week, is the really abrupt drop of social exercise. The parks where people met and children played are near empty, dog walkers are down. |

But had 5 lower front removed, asked about using my Rivacol mouth wash and antiseptic, he said just use salty water after food until stitches come out, no Rivacol just salt water? Am back on Rivacol now, all healed up, funny how they take different approaches which must be to do with Perth being free of covid and lockdown! |

12 months ago people would point to death figures from Covid and suggest they weren't accurate as although they we're dying with Covid, they weren't really dying from Covid, it was the underlying health conditions actually killing them. Now we have fully Vaxed 84yr olds with serious underlying health conditions dying and suddenly Covid is the real killer and the vaccine was useless. |

Isn't that a slippery slope? Does noone else see the danger here? Even if the figure is "only" 125 kids that have died... how many other scenarios have we had in the world where 125 kids have died from a single cause and it's not seen as a massive tragedy? So many people in society seem to be accepting it as kind of okay because the kids were probably not "healthy". We've already seen people be told it's basically their own fault if they have an unhealthy lifestyle and die from covid. We're also seeing people generally accept the deaths when there's an underlying health issue that wasn't their fault, even if the person who died was a kid.... but most people in the world have an underlying health issue of some kind. (https://www.livescience.com/51122-wo...-problems.html and https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0608081753.htm) Where is the line drawn on which issues people are okay with when it leads to death? Are we going to see that line creep outwards a bit? It's not going to be much of a stretch to apply that lack of empathy to other people with other health conditions and have society basically willing to exchange their life for the convenience of the rest of the world too. Cystic fibrosis? born with HIV? Quadriplegic after a car accident? I don't know if it's just a psychological thing that eases peoples' anxiety in the presence of stress or what. There was already a worldwide decline of empathy before the pandemic but it's going to be interesting to see what the world looks like in 5 years |

And why exactly do you think the UK, and many other countries as well, are not recommending children take the vax? It is because the risk of vax side effects outweighs the potential issues with a child getting covid. They do not know what the long term effects of the vax will be. And so far we are seeing numerous cases of heart issues. The evidence so far is showing that kids are barely affected by covid. And even now they are starting to see the long covid cases clearing up within 12 months. And what do you think we did before covid existed? The same kids who had the health problems probably died when they got the flu. It sucks, but it's the reality of nature. The sick ones with the weak genetics will never be safe, covid or not. At least now they have modern medicine to help them. Go back a century ago and these kids probably wouldn't have lived to the age of 5. |

QR coded myself in Temp check The covid procedures was the usual form to fill out Feel crook blablah Visited any hot spots Been Interstate/OS < like ofcourse NOT No check if single or double vaxxed No check of that proof Obviously I think it would be hard for that industry to discriminate but to prottect themselves and visitors the covid speed test should be made available. and NO anti mouth wash, first I heard of this.

The UK had 43,624 cases yesterday and 223 deaths for a CMR of 1.626%. 76,195 new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,815 deaths sees CMR at 1.627%. Other notable points: Global cases pass 242M, the last 1M in 3 days; Singapore (3,994); and Romania (18,863) ... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.
