Vaccinate or not

I was a little shocked at Alan Joyce (CEO Qantas) announcement that international travelers will be required to have a covid 19 vaccination in order to travel on Qantas flights . The government wanted to have mandatory vaccination but after the bumbling of its release ( it was painful to watch the delivery of that announcement ) they withdrew the mandatory part but it seems Qantas and other business may demand a vaccination in order to use their services. I’m not anti vaccine by any means I just don’t trust this government or a vaccine that has been rushed through. A jab followed by another jab followed by yearly jabs doesn’t sit well with me as I have never had a flu shot or the flu for more than 20 years. Plus I don’t want to give this shot to my healthy 4 year old daughter. She is up to date with all her vaccinations but this covid vaccine is new and not being around for decades like the others. Tuberculosis remains the number one as far diseases go and you don’t need proof of vaccination to travel so what is going on ?

I have been a bit apprehensive about posting this link, but I will do on the basis that the thread title is "Vaccinate or Not"., plus this guy has some very credible qualifications to speak on the subject matter. I have watched and listened several times to really understand and absorb his professional comments and views and most importantly, educated knowledge.
Being the former Pfizer Chief Scientist and what he has to say has prompted me to share it.....It possibly may have been presented before on SN, but I have not carried out my due diligence to check.....Apologies.....It is very worth taking the time to listen to his views and comments.
As for the negative term of "Anti-Vaxxer", they should reinstate the correct terminology of "Conscientious Objector"........
Enjoy......

Just watched an ABC News story about nurses in ICU doing 12 hour shifts, coming home exhausted and massively dehydrated because they can't take off masks to drink.
This is why I have complete and utter contempt for people pushing anti-vax conspiracies, and people pushing unproven treatments for covid.
You people are cunts, dangerous cunts who are making life so difficult for good people. Just stop it.

I will watch it when get a chance but with skepticism, when these things come up i always try to do a bit of a check on the person first to know a bit about them, it's not looking good.

"Yeadon falsely claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom was "effectively over" in October 2020,[12][13] that there would be no "second wave" of infections,[1][14] and that healthy people could not spread the SARS-CoV-2 virus.[15][16] He has claimed without evidence that COVID-19 vaccines were unnecessary,[17][14][15] unsafe,[16][18] and could cause infertility in women.[1][16][19] In a letter to the European Medicines Agency, Yeadon and the German physician Wolfgang Wodarg called for all vaccine trials to be stopped, falsely suggesting[20] that mRNA vaccines could target the syncytin-1 protein needed for placenta formation.[21] Several of these claims have been spread widely on social media.[1][12][16] Yeadon has also discouraged COVID-19 lockdowns and use of face masks despite evidence for their effectiveness[18] and alleged that vaccines were part of a deliberate attempt at "mass depopulation", saying recipients would die within two years.[7]"

You know what? At some point you have to put your trust in someone. The bloke in the video might be right. But he might not be. What I know for real is that there is a virus in the community and if it doesn't kill people, it can damn well fuck you up....and it puts pressure on the health system, which means that if you've got a lumpy exostosis or a friggin toothache then you're waiting - possibly a long time to get that shit fixed. Conspiracy theorists can whine all they like. The path out is vaccine. Like it or not. You've seen our politicians ad nauseam on the idiot box and on twitter. Do you really think they're smart enough to be part of a bigger conspiracy? Personally I'll take the Vaxx ( I already have - twice) . Even if it shortens my life / makes me sick down the track. You want to argue the merits the finer points - go ahead but you're wasting your time. Vaxx and be free. Don't vaxx and you won't be part of the broader community. Sorry for the rant. Two beers in tonight and a stream of consciousness post.

It's is weird when you get these kind of people that are involved in one thing often highly qualified experts then almost turn against it all, with the opposite views.

You should read Roadkill’s “ debunk “ links. I don’t know this Pfizer guy from Adam and haven’t really heard of him till reading those links from Roadkill but they’re pretty instructive regarding the modern veneration and proliferation of these Fact-check deals.

The first seems to bolster the Pfizer blokes credentials before seemingly trying to semi- undermine him by providing a couple of anonymous and uncredentialed quotes that he’s lost the plot.

The next seems to do alright by taking the scientific angle but unfortunately trips itself up by then stating that natural immunity is less powerful than that provided by the vaccines, which is not just proven incorrect but basically discredits anything else they state with the same unfounded confidence.

Then there’s the one about the resort the Pfizer bloke is purportedly developing. Roadkill found this one hilarious( !!!) for some indeterminate reason. It had zero scientific credibility and wasn’t much more than some sad bugger who runs a workshop called Centre For Cyber Hate*, who decided that perpetuating the online hate at the Pfizer bloke into his Covid -unrelated tourism venture was the best way to spend his time.

I’m not sure on the science and it’s the first I’ve heard about the vaccine’s threat to fertility but I do know they were some extremely unconvincing links. Certainly nothing to match the credibility and scientific acumen of their intended target. One of the links even claimed a small victory when they mentioned that Pfizer bloke wasn’t Vice President of Pfizer but that he was only Vice President of Respiratory illness …..I’m not sure if that’s the best way to frame someone as uneducated when we are discussing an illness which is primarily respiratory?

Don't worry too much about the ridicule. A lot of people here, there and everywhere think that if someone is an "expert" then they must be telling the truth. Anti-vaxx and pro-vaxx rely on this idea as support for their cause. As per usual, nothing ain't that simple!

I'm cool wth you megzee. Videos like this hit a bit of a nerve when you're married to, and know heaps of medical professionals who are really struggling with treating patients during the time of covid. Medicos basically have to wrap themselves in plastic bags for hours on end during extended shifts. It's hot and very uncomfortable work at best,
There's no shortage of medical organisations publishing really accurate articles and research on Covid. Places and publications like Johns Hopkins, The Lancet, Burnett Institute, Doherty Insitute etc etc etc should be linked here for sensible debate. It's utterly crazy that most of the links about covid on this site are to YouTube videos, grifters, and just flat out non-medically trained chancers.

From Roadkill’s link : Michael Yeadon, wasn’t just any scientist. The 60-year-old is a former vice president of Pfizer, where he spent 16 years as an allergy and respiratory researcher. He later co-founded a biotech firm that the Swiss drugmaker Novartis purchased for at least $325 million.

Vic Local ( Tourism spruiker ) : “Two minutes on Google will tell you this guy is an absolute fraud”

Roadkill ( Kiwi superstar tradie ) : “ It took 30 seconds to see this guy has no credibility “

If I was put in a tight spot I’d probably take the Professional respiratory illness scientist’s credibility on a matter concerning a respiratory illness before that of the tourism spruiker and the superstar kiwi tradie.

Mate, I'm not disregarding the above publications and nothing is stopping you from posting links to the articles. But, didn't just post a you tube video? I'd hazard a guess and say that if you did indeed post the above links, not many would bother reading them and we'd continue the circle work.

There’s not a single shred of proof that the current vaccines are the way to beat Covid. It’s already been expressly stated that the current vaccines with their extremely limited duration and efficacy will need to be readministered unto infinity. This is despite the vaccines only providing limited resistance to the current strains of virus and far from any certainty that illness, death , hospitalisation or transmission will be prevented in any individual.

That’s not beating the virus, it’s procrastinating the effects of a virus which generally impacts only the elderly and the already ill. As I see it it’s better to let healthy people be exposed to the virus whilst their bodies are strong enough to resist it and so they have the better form of immunity as they age and become infirm themselves.

I reckon the elderly and vulnerable should be vaccinated and everyone else should go about their lives whilst still maintaining a consciousness towards social distancing where possible. This way the virus will slowly permeate humanity without overloading our shamefully under resourced Heath systems.

That’s how you beat the virus. Not by hiding healthy people in their homes then injecting them with a substance of wavering efficacy and regularly harmful side effects. If their was a vaccine like the smallpox vaccine which eradicated the problem I’d be all over it. But there isn’t. It’s a mock vaccine which provides a few months of semi-protection. That’s not an answer. Particularly when you’re in a demographic which isn’t especially vulnerable to the virus.

Now if only the selfish and shrill old fear mongers like yourself would pipe down, then maybe humanity could move forward. I realise that you’re utterly buffed out with government largess as you laze next to your local beach and are not inconvenienced by lockdowns in your name , but there’s many many people hurting out there both financially and emotionally.

Maybe not? Oh FFS, they are wrong. He's put out so flat out crazy opinions that have no evidence to support them. Saying Covid is effectively over in the UK on Nov 2020 is wrong. There's no doubting that.

"personally, I don't buy half of the shit he's selling, but I think he raises dome good points. especially as he's well well qualified, and has an insiders perspective..."
Insider's perspective? He left Pfizer in 2010. 9 years before covid arrived.
"well qualified". That may be true once, but even a quick check of this guy's ridiculous recent statements proves he has zero credibility anymore.

"but you continue to go hard with your no platform bullshit if you must, your sheer irrationality, bias, and bloodymindedness is a laugh if nothing else..."
Misinformation like this has consequences. Anti-vaxxers are ending up in body bags, and they also prolong lockdowns. They are stupid cunts. Now that would be fine if they are only harming themselves. but they are causing mayhem for others.

You seem to have a bigger problem with me calling out pure bullshit than the nutters spreading dangerous and completely inaccurate information. Weird set of priorities mate.

you seem totally ignorant to some of the conplete backflip changing (developing) positions from the WHO vicvocal

Actually, science will keep collecting and updating data…as more evidence is looked at and reviewed, science can change and often does. It’s not always a case of backflipping but updating what is known.

Vic, for all you know as a result of taking your jab(s) you could end up being a total vegetable with sypkan feeding you from a straw in years to come. Be nice to your fellow humans.

When are the coppers going to do something about the @#$& from Bankstown who’ve been breaching lockdowns and heading to the mid north coast NSW chasing snapper ?

“We don’t care ulleh!”

Sure does Roadkill. DDT, Asbestos, Thalidomide, Glysophate, Cigarettes, COVID vaccines. All sounded like miracles at the start.

You showed your contempt for science when you willingly added covid to the list.
