I eagerly await the bedwetters meltdown on MSM and SM... They may even be so bold as to throw a conspiracy or two out there...

What if Novak kills someones grandma!!!...

Thats their only motive for everything... Do whatever it takes to stay in power... Say whatever it takes to stay in power... At best the last two years has been one of the greatest exercises in public relations history... 

All of the Rats are hiding in Parliament.

Why? You can catch it at least twice...  Vaxxed or otherwise...

Worse.....what if a ball-kid gets sick!

You technically cannot catch it again that quick.

And so that would mean he either never had it (lied and will be banned for 3 years) or he hasnt been cleared of it and probably shouldnt have been allowed to come here at all or needs to isolate for 2 weeks.

Woohoo I get the first technically for the year!!!!...

Technically Novak winning the tournament while sick with covid should have good odds.

I don't normally bet, but collecting on that would be funny.

Come on bookies, man up and open the market.

KFC serving a reduced menu... This may reduce the risk of hospitalisation and death...

Well....technically HD got it on the 4th Jan, but just like Australia's court system, we can bend the rules and award it to you if it makes you feel better and we get those flag wearing ethnics off our front lawn.....

Looking for a short priced favourite are you?

I encourage all fans at Melbourne Park to cut a sleeve off their shirt when attending a Novak game in protest!!!...
Be sure to take your frustrations at the mishandling of the past two years out on an individual...
People watching from home, dob in your neighbours if you hear them cheering for Novak in their loungeroom...
Remember not watching Novak may reduced the likelihood of transmission, hospitalisation, and death...

With a single post you could change that...

Therefore all mandates must be invalid.... woohoo... open the borders and give us our jobs back... the precendence has been set.

Lucky i bought shares in Red Rooster and Oporto.....

Everytime you mention his name on here, i feel covid19 is coming through the 5G internet to my room

Don't be ridiculous... 5G!!!... Sheesh!!!... Bloody crazy conspiracist you are!!!... I love 5G, it's so fast I watched an unreleased movie yesterday...

Reading today Pfizer expect to have Omicron vaccine ready from March... Line up now people!!!... Get your 4th jab in 12 months!!!... Then stick it in your kids!!!... Kids love science experiments...

And the best bit, long term outcomes are a surprise... Kids love surprises...

A jab a day will keep the virus at bay...

#letsgetjabby...

But dman, by March we will be onto 'thenextcon' variant. Which means another further different concoction needs to be formulaled. They can turn this into the never ending story.

It already is ODF....

It's OK!!!... They are "keeping ahead of the virus"...

What were the odds on Bernie losing the first set 6-1 today???...

It probably will be. Just as the flu vaccine is continually updated due to the virus changing, this same may well happen with COVID.

Hell of a missed opportunity not to have mandated the flu shot for construction workers...  Oh well maybe this year... 

The COVID vaccine is very commercialised with company names attached to the various vaccines with an obvious battle for financial success.
The influenza vaccines are also manufactured by various companies but are not marketed on this basis. Would we be or have been better off if it were simply called "the COVID vaccine", just as the flu vaccine is just called "the flu vaccine".

You make a fair point, I think the driver the astra name change is a likely example re the $$$...
But, Better off in what way???... More people Vaxxed???... More shots per person???... Less scepticism???... Less coercion required???...

Maybe less exaggerated claims and criticisms would lead to more acceptance. It feeds fuel to the anti vaxxers. People are anti other vaccines but we don't have the same outrage.

95% of NSW people of 18+ have had the vaxx... How much more compliance do you want or do you think will arrive at a positive outcome???... And what is that positive outcome???... No 'rona, some ' rona, no deaths (the average age of death for rona is 84 in Aus for done, 82 for everything else) mandates vaxxs for everything???...

Agree plenty are anti this particular vaxx but accepting of others, and believe they have reasonable grounds... But I dont think it's a brand thing in most instances... Though.. one brand in particular has done some awful awful things over the years... And Anna and Co had a great crack at deriding their main competitor...

Must also be acknowledged anti mandate is not anti vaxx despite the assertions of the psychopath in the NT and other States... At the same time saying not everyone who got the vaxx is pro vaxx... 

I think we'd all just get along if the anti vaxxers admitted the vaxx may provide some protection and pro vaxxers admitted they have no idea what the long term impacts are, and left people to decide what is injected into their body or not, you know, like obese people so with cake...

The vax is reducing hospital admissions and death rates.

Even with high levels of vax, the system is barely coping.

If we had this many active cases with no one vaxed, people would be dying faster than Parra fans can leave the stadium after a loss, and they have had plenty of practice.

That wasn't a reply to my post, that was a statement...

Could admission and death rates be because - the dominant strain is less deadly as opposed to the vaxx working???... Could it be other methods of care have advanced???... could it be that most people that were going to die from this virus have already passed or are still passing just at increased rates post lockdown???... 

Any answer other than 'maybe' is wrong...

Once upon a time people would acknowledge the above would be a 'devil's advocate' type of questions... Now its a question only a filthy anti vax granny murderer would ask...

Dman the medical evidence is quite clear.

As for Omicron being milder that is generally true, but the evidence isn't strong.

The evidence is that vax makes a bjg difference and it is also likely that the other strains are lying dormant or new strains might happen.

Why people with no medical experise and knowledge question highly trained and knowledgeable experts is beyond me.

In my case I've done science at uni, I know people who have studied medicine and I am a walking pin cushion having had every jab known to mankind repeatly for more than 40 years. I think that the experts know what they are talking about.
