Vaccinate or not

@FR, I had to get some for my horses last year on the vets advice. I had to ring the vet and pass the phone to the stock feed guys to validate from the vet. :)

pretty sure this guy had no paperwork.

anyway, not making assumptions, it may have been legit.

It just caught my eye.

It isn't meaningless, it's statistics and proven.. There's an exponential increase in death rate skewed to the elderly.. Check the linear scale graph.

Then regarding the log-graph (1st one)..

"This near linearity on a logarithmic scale corresponds to an exponential increase—from age 35, the annual hazard increases at an average 9.7% a year for men and 10.4% a year for women. This means that, in normal circumstances, the average annual risk of death doubles for each seven years of extra age (since a 10% a year increase (1.1) over seven years leads to a total increase of 1.17, which is roughly 2).

Hi Craig. Do you mind posting a link to the source of these graphs please?

Yep, here ya go Don.. https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3259

Thanks Craig. Hope you're keeping well.

The article is a year old now. Wonder if the stats have changed much with Delta?

Yep, just have to keep out of these forums a bit ;)

Just watched a video of a complete muppet in hi viz, swearing at and filming the media. He was breaching the anti-lockdown laws and got arrested. He then starts crying about being arrested for getting his wallet out.
FFS. These absolute fucking morons are very quick to claim victimhood.
Your people blowin, shortenism, Hutchy, sypkan et al.

who's claiming victimhood problem child?

I have a problem with fascism

and fuckheads...

you tick both boxes

If you’d taken a second to think about what I said before staging your next vitriolic attack on anything I post you’d probably agree.

My next vitriolic attack on anything you post hey?? Not really mate - don't flatter yourself. I actually agree with some of your views and enjoy some of the stories you post. But every now and then you come up with the most absurd comments that are so blatantly wrong I just thought I'd call you out on them.
Getting back to your copper mate who is a nice bloke in the surf. How much do you know about him and what he does. Same with that cop in the video. As I said it wasn’t a good look, and I had a good think about what you said, but unless you know exactly who he is, what his rank is and what his orders were, don’t go tarring everyone with the same brush based on a 30 second video viewed from your armchair of which you know nothing about.
Most cops are not your stereotypical "pig cop" and the problems of humanity they deal with daily would make your toenails curl, and then they have to deal with these situations as well.

Vic Local - “ I’m not a fascist but……..”

It's on Brown cardigan Insta Brutus.....party time

how's this cat?

one hell of a cheerleader...

and 'scientist'...

what strikes me about this story, is, he's a weird nexus of too much cyber world and the ever growing libertarianism some of us have spoken about on here...

without overstating it... I reckon this guy is a little glimpse of the future ...a twisted future...

I think Brown Shirts would be a more appropriate Insta handle for those interested in that kind of working class snitching and betrayal.

Brutus has never taken Coke and never been consumed by anger…..guffaw.

The anti-lockdown anti-vax moron breaking the law.
FFS sypkan, it's not that complicated mate.
I've been to a few protests mate, and when an environmentalist gets dragged away, at least they do it with some basic dignity. They all know locking on to equipment will lead to their arrest. They know it ends up in court and the usual result is a few days of public service. Do the crime do the time. Cut the grass and do a bit of maintenance at the local school for a few days. Job done. No crying.
It's the right wing sooks who genuinely think they've been hard done by for being complete and utter fuckwits and breaking the law. It really is pathetic.
Can't wait for these dogs to get their comeuppance.

Ask yourself this: If your boss ordered you to threaten unarmed and otherwise innocent Australians with a rifle because they weren’t wearing a paper face mask despite being alone outside, would you comply or refuse?

My honest answer is that I’d refuse. It goes against every fibre of my being to run around with my finger on the trigger of a rifle and scream orders at innocent people. That’s totalitarian bullshit. That’s pig cop stuff. No two ways about it and no need to delve deeper. It’s black and white. It’s just a job for money, plenty of jobs around. No amount of money gets me to threaten innocent people with firearms because some wok-eyed fuckstik politician has arbitrarily declared them an enemy of society.

How many times has this Vic Local clown repeated his fantasy about “right wingers”? It’s a fetish.

Is there anyone who honestly thinks this Vic Local thing isn’t a little man desperate to control and subjugate others? I guarantee his missus treats him like a door mat. Then again….he does have that Alan Jones angry Queen vibe about him….
It certainly reinforces the belief that it’s the cowards who youve got to watch. As Ringmaster said, Vic Local is a little mouse in the flesh. He’d love to be dressed up in the riot armour with a few dozen fellow pig cops surrounding a handful of unarmed Australians.

Ohhhhh diddums.
Poor blowin is feeling a bit sad because the great big Melbourne revolution has run out of puff. The RW rabble had their 15 minutes of shame and they are now the most despised dogs in the state.
It's high farce in Melbourne today with about 100 or so fake tradies running around the city. blowin's hero Avi "the wife bashing grifter" is madly trying to find the hi viz dogs to get some footage. He's actually running behind the police lines trying to find the idiot mob.
No wonder blowin is lashing out. His dog mates are a fucking joke.

The fascist cheers when the heavily armed government oppresses the evil people who took their face masks off whilst outside. No one is surprised. The fascist feels no need to temper or hide his excitement at the public being oppressed by the jackboot of the state.

Welcome to the New Australia. A land where effeminate Baby Boomer AirBnB property investors cheer on totalitarian governments and violent armed police oppression of innocent Australians.

ah blowin , you are a case study in nastiness, LOL....so now it's the brown shirts....low but appropriate for you .....and WTF genius has the Hi Vis union blokes snorting coke in public at an illegal demonstration to do with me?

Baby boomers were born before 1961. I think VL is Gen X.

"How many times has this Vic Local clown repeated his fantasy about “right wingers”? It’s a fetish."

the 'man' is totally delusional

And now the rabble mob are protesting at the Shrine of Remembrance. What an insult to the diggers. They didn't fight so RW thugs could riot in the streets of Melbourne.
Hey blowin, It's like your scum mates are trying to be the most hated people in the country.
Game over blowin. You and your dog mates lost. Decent society has won, and you're on the wrong side of history.
And we won't be forgetting who cheered on and organised the mob. Dan Andrew could take a dump in Fed Square and still win the next election because the LNP are cooked for encouraging the dogs.

You reckon he’s under 60? It’d only be by a year or two if true. He’s got that ageing conservative greed pig thing going on. You know the one where the people who’ve had no power their entire lives finally come out of the closet and openly express their desire for violent armed men to force everyone around them to do as they order them. No longer hindered by societal pressure to hide the screaming fascist who lurks inside, they now find solace in the realisation that they aren’t alone and there’s other scared old men who too want heavily armed riot squads to subjugate the world around them.

It’d be sad if there literally wasn’t a thread of those blokes right here demanding more violence against innocent people just because the innocent people don’t conform to their will.

they just had two experts on abc challenging this 'narrative' about the mob being stacked with 'right wing provacateaurs'

they both basically said it is bullshit

but don't expect vicvocal to change his narrative any time soon, donny lemon esme has at least a few months to peddle his propaganda bullshit before the truth is irrefutably revealed... then he'll continue anyway... its what cnn does...

its the russians!

Blowin, or you could say that a bunch of self centred people , knowingly broke the law and risked infecting the community with their selfish actions. Police were hospitalized by the rioters , the only innocents are the people obeying the law.....the rest are criminals and should be treated as such!

TBH I kind of feel sorry for blowin. He is someone obviously brought up in a environment with no love, no respect for others or anything that he deems unnecessary, probably zero elders or community minded figures around to teach him how life really is...desperate and angry all the time.

It is sad to watch.

Vic Local doesn’t do facts or self awareness. He thinks it’s enough just repeating his lies over and over in a shouty voice, using the kind of language he’d never in a million years direct at anyone in real life.

Angry man screams…why were those people not vaccinated?
Calm man…because no vaccines were available.
Still GOLD!

Gawd- now Roadkill , the superstar Kiwi tradie is back squirting more drivel out of his orifice. Let me guess….you’re not a psychiatrist? That was basically an opposite assessment of my life.

"Baby boomers were born before 1961. I think VL is Gen X."

he clearly hasn't aged well...

which just exposes the scared little conservative 'lock the gate' baby boomer lurking within...

Righto then!!! By the way I didn't know Dan Andrews was Asian!! Better change that before Vic Local sees it.

wtf are you on about?

you miss the point so often you clearly aren't the brightest spark

but you are 'educated'...

looking down your nose like a grumpy old pompous git

another wannabee baby boomer good guy, loaded up, locking the gate, and billing the kids...

If risking infection amongst the community is what this is all about, when are the riot squad going to pick up Scott “No federal quarantine facilities “ Morrison and Dan “ Diversity pick and mate’s rates prioritised over proper quarantine “ Andrews?

It’s not about public health it’s about conditioning Australians to be arbitrarily repressed.

The fact that Bunnings has been open and packed throughout 90 percent of lockdown proves this true.

Hey blowin. To be fair on Roadkill his assessment of you can only be based on your rants on this forum, and his assessment is spot on. Your rants are 1. very angry, 2. very stupid and 3. completely lacking in any humour or self-awareness.
Go for a walk champ and have a good hard think about this.

We never found out the extent of the education which elevates any and all of Roadkill’s opinions above that of the uneducated hoi poloi.

Vic Local :

“You’re a dopey fucken idiot right wing dog cunt stupid fucking nut job facing idiot dopey clown dog who needs to be hit with a truncheon and sent begging and kicked out of society which is what a dopey fucken dog cunt idiot deserves”

Also Vic Local:

“Your rants are very angry and completely lacking in humour or self awareness. “

"Vic Local doesn’t do facts or self awareness. He thinks it’s enough just repeating his lies over and over in a shouty voice, using the kind of language he’d never in a million years direct at anyone in real life."

maths isn't his only 'on the spectrum' skill...

that much is patently obvious

You're looking in the mirror there VL.
It's not a question, it's a statement.

Ahhhh Glady's B headline statement “At 80 per cent additional freedoms will be for those who are fully vaccinated,” the Premier said.

Then right at the bottom of the article "it would be a “period of time” after that before unvaccinated people can enjoy those same freedoms"

Hahahaha hilarious... In other words you might have to wait a few days... Don't fall for the propaganda and coercion ppl. The reality is we will open for all one way or another.

That fella standing with arms crossed yesterday getting barked and charged at by a SWAT cop pointing a weapon at him.. BE THAT MAN! Hold your ground.

VL sure is aggressive in his manner.

BTW. I think it's pretty funny he thinks a guy sitting in his bedroom in hi vis giving his 2 bobs worth with no better incite than anyone else, is good journalism.

While bags a journalist that goes right into the action and actually shows what's happening and speaking to the people involved.

FFS guys, stop the personal attacks. We're down-staff at the moment and under an enormous workload due to Covid travel restrictions, and don't have the time to keep on top of this.

I'm moving this thread to the political forum so it'll stop from appearing on the homepage and bringing down the tone of the site.

But seriously.. some of you really need to have a think about taking a break from the forums.

"Sypkan, do you think there is any chance the Government will back down and listen to the "protestors" ?"

depends how long the protestors can stay 'united' and focussed...

I would have said no short term... because dandrews seems incredibly delusional, and has done, throughout this whole shit show... but there is already evidence of compromise

VLocal and others .

If you want to know the truth on who organised yesterdays protests you need to look at the video skypan posted ( I have already suggested you do ) . If you want to keep posting misinformation don't .

At the union offices were members of the union . They waited there for hours to hear their fearful leader to respond . He sent out his thugs . There was violence . They then decided to walk to parliament house .

It is all on the video ! The members of the union are mainly from the left . If it was Right I would admit it as I would like to point out that left wingers were now following the right ( which would be wrong ) .

Your choice ! I hope , for your credibility , you would want to know the truth and be willing to "Man Up " and admit you were mistaken .

that's not actually correct, but you do raise an important issue totally overlooked in coverage..

the union allowed a meeting with representaives, they said they'd confront the protestors in an hour... setka and co. made them wait significantly longer... apparently in this time he went on 3AW and condemned the protestors, meanwhlie, protestors waited and waited... then setka came out with one guy thinking all was cool...

no wonder the dudes went wild...

hours late, and the chat of the 3AW call filtering through the crowd...

they locked down the office, after the thugs came out to shut the doors, with the aid of fire hoses and shit... then later the thugs appeared from the alley, armed looking to rumble...

pretty ugly stuff, but it seems the protestors were not the bad guys from my perspective

setka, the arrogant fuck, messed up big time

Hahahaha Supa, I was thinking the exact same thing earlier when it disappeared off the homepage.

It'll probably take a few hours........

Or days..........

More likely someone to direct him :)
