Also keep in mind that if they go down path of booster mandates and changes to the definition of fully vaccinated then they might get specific about what brands in what order constitute "fully vaccinated". Might say first 2 shots can be combination of A,B,C or D and booster must be B or C. Don't want to shoot yourself in the foot. Luckily they are fully prepared for you! ![]() https://www.health.gov.au/initiative...-claims-scheme https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au...-claims-scheme |

I'm also going to catch up with a mate of mine who has just returned from overseas. An ex employee at one of the big 3, although not in their R&D department. Can't say too much in the public arena, he thinks he is being watched. ![]() Surely its either going to be a yes or no based on ATAGI / TGA policy. Its either going to be an option but have to jump through hoops, or a hard "that is not an option at all".

If we had a substantial portion of the population unvaxxed, hospitals wouldnt be coping. That would mean that my daughter would be managing her illness with ineffective painkillers instead of having the surgery she did last week. I'm fine with your 'freedoms' being trampled on for her sake, any day of the week. |

Because the number of vaxxed vastly outnumber the unvaxxed. If you correct for the relative numbers of each, the vaxxed are 15 times less likely to be in hospital. The ones that are dying are the very old and in poor health. Why aren't the very old and in poor health that are unvaxxed dying? Because they already did.

Also heard some pretty interesting accounts on how people have tried to game the system. Fake arms (yes it happens here too), paying the homeless to take the shots on their behalf (one Melb man was caught taking 60 shots. I guess there is some confidence its safe? ![]() ![]()

A better source than the ABC, I am certain of that.
Your quotes from "The Factual", which appears to be an algorithm that trawls written articles over the internet, with margins of error that are accountable to...well...nobody..are irrelevant pertaining to live televison broadcasts from the likes of Al Jazeera....sorry not factual enough for me. Maybe you could give us the "score " for the ABC..... ![]()

Hard to when he wont cite his sources. The fact that you happily take him at face value while expecting me to provide evidence for my statements, says to me you've drunk the cool aid and there's little point trying to convince you.

Yea, red flags all over this one from mis/disinformation 101. Quote:
And this is from VAERS: "a report to VAERS does not mean that a vaccine caused an adverse event" Also Tucker: "VARES has received a lot of criticism over the years, some of it founded. Some critics have argued for a long time that VARES undercounts vaccine injuries. A report submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services in 2010 concluded that "fewer than one percent of vaccine adverse events are reported" by the VARES system." He's basically just said this is misinformation, but he's put the spin on this 'undercount' being deliberate by the CDC. Unfortunately, the reality is... "VAERS is a passive surveillance system, meaning it relies on people sending in reports of their experiences after vaccination.... VAERS accepts reports from anyone, including patients, family members, healthcare providers and vaccine manufacturers." VAERS (Or "VARES" to Fox, apparently), is not a vaccine safety watchdog. It's a passive tool to the FDA, CDC, or manufacturers for finding patterns. There's also this: "Any health problem that happens after vaccination is considered an adverse event following immunization. An adverse event can be a true adverse reaction, also known as a side effect, that is related to the vaccine, or a coincidental event that happened following vaccination." VAERS also comes with this very important disclaimer: "While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases." So any death following vaccination can be reported, by anyone, to VAERS. You could walk out of the clinic and be hit by a bus and Fox News would warn the public on the dangerous side effects of the vaccine on your behalf. They would quote the knowingly less-than-statistical source of VAERS as 'statistics' and then use the unreliability of those non-statistics to blow that out of proportion by implying that these make up only 1% of the actual figure. That, to me, is not news worthy... So sure, Fox hasn't come right out and said 'we are anti-vax and you shouldn't get the vaccine', their producers are too smart to do that. But this is very clearly scaremongering designed for that same effect. Let's not kid ourselves of that. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/en...ers/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/en...cts/index.html https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html |

We've obviously seen a rapid increase in the number of cases in Australia over the last month although numbers seem to be on the decline this last two weeks, so here is some data about hospitalisations and mortalities since Omicron became the prevalent infection.
The data is for each week from the 3rd December onward. That first week saw 10,764 cases and the 544 people in hospital represented 5% of cases although they were probably mostly Delta patients. Jump to this last week (ending 28/1) and the case numbers were 394,317 and there were 5,020 people in hospital or just 1.276% of cases and that percentage has been rising the last two weeks after dropping in between as shown in the charts below. Hospitalisation - Raw Numbers and % of Cases ![]() ![]() Likewise, the number of patients in ICU has also continued to climb from 159 in that first week to 514 now but the percentage of cases has fallen from 1.477% in week 1 to 0.131% this week – albeit a little higher than the last few weeks. ICU - Raw Numbers and % of Cases ![]() ![]() The number of deaths from those cases also continues to drop as a percentage. It was 0.372% in that first week and 0.140% in this last week (up on last week) although we do know that adjusted CMR is probably a more reliable gauge so it is included in that graph – both of which are climbing. ![]() ![]() .. and for completeness, the growth in case numbers for the same period. ![]()

Was at my GP'S surgery yesterday, I get in at 7am, just script for painkillers, I helped the young receptionist unscrew the chairs in the waiting room, folk were sitting on chairs marked " not to be used "
The 1.5 metre rule now applies, but saw my GP Adam Nuttall, he is one of only 4 WA doctors who treat Lyme disease, that how I met him, but he said a dude walked in, unmasked, coughing and sneezing and asking to see a doctor, a big sign supplied by the State Government is emblazoned across the front entry door. If you have these symptoms go to ED, do not enter clinic! He refused to go to the ED, as is instructed, Dr Nuttall is about the size of a front row footballer, he said he grabbed him by the collar and his belt, picked him up and threw him out!....too cool Last edited by slowsnake; 02-02-2022 at 11:12 AM.

I agree, the girls at reception asked him politely to leave, gave him a mask and hand sanitiser, he told em to go to hell, I need a doctor, I'm sick!
If I was there I would of dragged him out, my GP has quite a few Lyme patients, all from Bali holidays, so not caught here, they are in a rotten state, and you get knobheads like that walking in? Where has common-sense gone?? ![]() |
