Just as he jets off in a private jet paid for by us to cross state borders for a family visit....

Don't forget that he tried to hide it by using an old photo for Father's day, implying that he didn't visit his family.

NSW and VIC (and ACT but they are a conforming bunch) will get the overall nation's vaccination rate over 80% in November or December. WA, QLD and SA have had no cases most of the year, their leaders riding high on keeping themselves locked away from rest of the country, their vaaccination rates will fall further and further behind NSW et al.

Just catching up on this thread so not sure if someone has said this but Pfizer here in SA only opened up to under 40s a few days ago.

I went to one of the big govt clinics today for my first dose and it was jammed with people so I think/hope we will see a big upwards trend in our %s soon.

I did suggest that there were quite a few fallacies there regarding the attitudes of people in SA, WA and Qld. I happen to work in a team with people in all those states and the attitudes are virtually the same. Everyone knows COVID is inevitably going to end up in our states, and probably not when we "allow it" so everyone is eager to get vaccinated. The idea that the various state governments are sabotaging their rollouts is pretty fanciful too.

Apart from NSW getting more Pfizer. What's different is ATAGI have recommended a much shorter gap between doses for AZ in NSW and Victoria because of their emergency status. This has driven more under 50s to get AZ in those jurisdictions.
Personally I considered getting an AZ jab in late July but doing the maths, I wouldn't have ended up fully vaccinated until late October. I ended up getting Pfizer in August and am already done.

McJules - you are dealing with very very small numbers

If society was set up to stop 3 children from dying then lockdown would be permanent and society would resemble something like the matrix. 2000 people in Australia die from the flu each year alone. As I said, the last 18 months has been sensationalising every case and part of opening up is a reality check around that. Of the 3 children that died from COVID, many more children have either died from COVID related suicide or ruined their futures by lack of a quality education. You're missing the bigger picture

As for hospitalisation figures, what we are seeing today wouldnt even be 20% of what we'd be seeing after we open up. If NSW has already reached capacity, after 18 months of pandemic planning, then thats just poor

People are going to choose whether to hospitalise or not. You cant use a small data set of those who died at home and project it across the population as the normal. If 0.6% of people worldwide are listed as critical then why did Victoria claim 10% of people require hospitalisation?

Anti vaxx, pro mask, fear of opening up. Its all the same sensationalised crap. If you were to chart the number of children who have died this year and list the cause you'll find that COVID, even in an open society, is not the least of your worries

How's the premiers whinging about how Pfizer is distributed? McGowan in particular wanking on incessantly about Covid zero in WA and now he wants Pfizer when there's a roaring outbreak in NSW. Cockhead.

But having said that I agree with you. 3 kids are in ICU not 300. We can't stay locked up forever. And there's no vaccine for under 12s yet so what are those people saying? Even at 100% vaxxed we have to wait until there's a vaccine for under 12s.

talk about petty commentry re scomo seeing his fam, ffs.....
Oh yes the comparo of so many haven't been able to do the same, blame those Prems and their border closures, they have the opportunity countless times allowing people passage on compassionate grounds and haven't Unless its gone to press in some case's to expose them.
Palace Chook Dan and McGowan the worst - they can't even get the msg down to their Depts please asses these requests thouroughly and ones that are genuinely valid and have been tested let them cross.
Oh but a PM WTF he can, when these people are away from home more than you I expect. He's the leader.
Oh hang on he's a Lib give it to him, give it a break guys or do you just follow.
Oh now NSW has taken more vaccine, HTF do you really know the facts ? oh SM told you because someone reported as such so its fact.
Oh hang on Dan played the game in front of the media, he's a big general calling out the leader so its true.

People want infection mitigation strategies for children. Pretty simple. The statement "they're not vaccinated" keeps getting turned into "we have to wait for them to be vaccinated" by a compliant media.

I agree that NSW should be getting more vaccines allocated to it because of the outbreak. However: (1) the Federal Government did say this was going to stop but instead, we now learn that it will continue until November, (2) the Federal Government and NSW have no right to brag about being faster if more are allocated to NSW, and (3) if WA/QLD are slower by a few weeks because of it's lower allocation, the Federal Government and NSW have no right to complain.

Other states and territories will be sent higher Pfizer supplies to reverse the gains for NSW but the adjustments are not expected to start until November because of the threat from soaring coronavirus case numbers in the country’s biggest state.

Mr Hunt promised 1.7 million additional doses for all states and territories next week from deals with the United Kingdom and Singapore in recent weeks, saying they would be shared on a per-capita basis.

If children arent at risk then why would there be infection mitigation strategies? An outbreak of the virus among children is no different to an outbreak of the virus among the vaccinated adult population

Do they? Go on then.  What's sort of 'infection mitigation strategies' are you/they talking about? Sounds like more mumbo jumbo shifting of goalposts.

Because they are a risk. Both for themselves and for vulnerable adults.

So foi  shown emails that Pfizer wanted to speak to Hunt in July.  But it took until august for Hunt to respond and our first meeting came after Pfizer signed a  nda with Britain and the us for Pfizer. 

How have none of these toffs lost their jobs?

when having the jab make sure to ask the vaccinator is aspirating , this stops vaccine going into bloodstream and should prevent myocardis problem
