Bozo . A typically stupid analogy but even more stupid than your others . You are getting better at it Blue Gum .
Ha! you wouldn't know a box from a gum. probs get the sweats when you step on grass. As you were Hutch, carry on.
I was going to say you were acting child like but realised it was underestimating children Bozo . I won't tell you what you should do as I know my place . I know that Blue Gums are all over Australia and are often called Red Gums
in Qld . I don't know why .
How are you going with your answer about why the millions we are spending each year ( as you said ) on sea slugs have not helped ? You are a self proclaimed expert and I have been waiting for about a month .
Hutchy 19, do you think you can read the room?

Actually, we do have an idea of the long term effects. Scientific knowledge built over many years tells us there will probably be no longterm effect. Probably 99.9% accurate that there will be no long term effects.
Yet, some cling to tenuous %s to continue to promote hesitancy.
NSW has now reached 80% first dose , northern nsw lost alot of it’s Pfizer supply to Sydney, people who were actually booked in , had their appointments canceled. Once supply is reinstated getting to 90% could be a real possibility.
"Hey blokes we had no idea of the long term effects of the polio vaccine when it was first brought out either. Thank God we still went ahead with it because the only long term effect was, that vaccine stopped polio."

Science has come a long way between early vaccine knowledge for polio to now. There is no comparison really.
Your closed mind to science is astounding.

Got my second jab yesterday. Very happy to do it for reasons stated elsewhere.
Weighed the risks, but for our families sake it was an easy decision to make.
"so we're open to a bit of good ol' old school cowboy science now?"
No Sypkan we are not. Polio was an early vaccine and the long term effects of early vaccines was less certain. Nowadays, not so much. We've had a 100 odd years of research mate.
We do know the consequences of not taking vaccines. It's bad sypkan. Lethal bad.
If people don't want to take covid vaccines they should stand by their convictions and not present to hospital when they inevitably get infected. This of course won't happen. The anti-vax imbeciles will get covid, many will get seriously ill, and most of those people will present to hospital. This will cost the general taxpayer a fortune, compromise other patients, and make life even more difficult to our hospital staff who have been heroic during this pandemic.
So fuck yeah. I have zero time for anyone pushing anti-vax messages. Nothing but a pack of See you in the Northern Territories.
2nd Astra jab today....the lady was the gun...didn’t feel a thing.
Felt like I did something good for Australia.

Nice Optimist. My nurse's name for the second jab was Hope.
New York Vaccinated Hospital bans Baby delivery.
No Vax ...No Humans...
Bully Vaxerz can spread WR Covid but have no idea on how to repopulate their brave new world.
https://www.foxnews.com/health/ny-hospital-baby-deliveries-maternity-wor...
Baby ward is closed on account "Actual Health Professionals" we're forced out.
Apparently Joe has just ruled that spreading more Covid is more vital than Life itself.
Turns out Commander in Chief Bully was wrong, yet again...
Most dedicated Health Professionals told Joe where to stick his Covid spreading Vax.
World over sees 20% of most dedicated Health professionals walk out...See Ya!
Also happening in tbb's Gold Coast ...all the most highly skilled are walking.
These 20% professionals know more about the Vax and frontline than any in their cities
https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=GCWEB_...
Fact of life > Dedicated carers / Soccer Mums / Community Leaders / Hardest workers aren't vaxed.
Sure! Can read it over & over in studies...but it's plainly obvious to any who care!
Takes all of 2 seconds to work out that nicest caring people, put themselves last...always.
Same in tbb's family / Town / City / Worldwide...
Guess What! Bullies will argue their way of the world & claim the opposite! Why? Because their Bullies!
Deceptive Covid sneezing Bullies keep labelling the World's upfront & finest as Killers & even worse.
Result!
Laziest wealthy Bullies now gotta make their own lunches & deliver their own babies...
Pretty sure they gotta Vax to cure that as well...if not, just press a button or some shit!
@TBB , very interesting in the comments section, hard to believe that nurses that have had covid and recovered are losing their jobs now if refusing vaccine . What a shambles.

AZ was the least painful injection I have ever had. If I wasn’t watching, I would not have known it was done.
Far out guys, these live jab updates are interesting... I know you are trying to share your story to support each other and probably in hope that you convince more and more ppl to get it who might be on the fence reading this. BUT, the needle prick part isn't the barrier.
What we are all interested in is how you are in 2-5 years. Any scientist would respect that decision and I hope you do too.
Life is for living Shorto, not cowering in fear.
Way more worried about skin cancer in 2-5 years than a vaccine reaction.
Sure is freeride.
this is interesting

freeride76 wrote:that looks an impartial source.
Lol.
You should have a look at the merchandise they are flogging..even funnier.
Hey Shorto, got a longitudinal study for that mobile phone you use?
What about the wifi running through your house?
The effects of screens on young eyes? And the same for language development?
What about the effects of social media on young minds?
E211 on our bodies..?
Point being, there are a great many things we don't have longitudinal studies on, many of them advocated without question so they're in frequent, widespread use.
And no, just because those ones are in use doesn't necessarily justify other non-tested technologies, however I think most people are capable of parsing the media and weighing the risks.
There's a part of me that's heartened Australians would take a leap of faith for the greater good. I reckon there's a little bit of old timeliness about it, something I thought was gone in the mad rush to replicate the inequality and violence of Libertarian America.
Then there's a part of me that's just very skeptical of the fashionable resistance to this vaccine.
In 2-5 years everyone will have had covid whether by Injection or infection so I don't really see the difference and don't know why people are hiding from getting vaxed now. Id rather a mild dose than the full charge. I do think that if you get it by infection you wont need to be vaccinated and shouldn't be penalised in any way...
It is what it is by then.The Oxford delivery method has been researched since the MERS plague. Unfortunately there is no hiding from this.

Hey Stunet. You pretty much lost shortenism by using the term "longitudinal study". Might need to dumb it down for the anti-vaxxers. Three syllables is probably too many. Five is definitely out.
Is this thread still going?
80% of NSW have had their first jab....still more to come.
It's loud and clear, the vast majority are choosing to vaccinate, rather than to not vaccinate.
The vocal minority are just that, a minority.
Soon enough the anti vaxxers will lose their 15 mins in the spotlight, and people will continue on not GAF about their religious like views.
"Soon enough the anti vaxxers will lose their 15 mins in the spotlight, and people will continue on not GAF about their religious like views."
I wish that was the case Stok but I'm pretty sure the anti-vaxxer circus will go on.
Firstly, there's $$$ to be made mugging idiots. Lots of grifters are still working over the anti-vax / anti lockdown mob.
Secondly. The anti-vaxxers are the huge election wildcard. Palmer is actively courting the moron vote and it's significant enough to keep the corrupt and incompetent scum in power.
Finally, the anti-vaxxers will get covid causing mayhem on the hospital system.
These morons are still going to have a big impact for at least the next year.

Or is the reason that there has been the mother of all media campaigns scaring Ozzies into having the vax . The threats have worked with some on this site regarding surf trips .
The vax rates in older US whites is very high , violence very low . The Blacks vax rates are very low at 10% .
Not an example to enable you to think better of Australians . I can give you a few others that show me that Australians have not "gone" the depths of the US . You can start with violence rates if you like .
Vlocal - English was never my best subject at school . Doesn't "longitudinal" have 4 syllables ?
Part of the toll from lockdowns, not saying they weren’t needed at certain stages but it’s a heavy toll for many .
"The Blacks vax rates are very low at 10%"
Bullshit Hutchy,
You're better than blowin style crap stats.
Hutchy 19 wrote:Or is the reason that there has been the mother of all media campaigns scaring Ozzies into having the vax .
I've had a look around the internet and the anti-vax scare campaign is orders of magnitude more shrill and fear-stricken than anything I've seen from mainstream or medical/govt sources.
You are right again VicLocal . It has , according to the CDC website , raised significantly since I last looked 2 weeks ago . It is now 12% .
Freeride - I said the media . You know the stuff most Australians see and listen to .
Hows our English test going ? Any English teachers on the thread ?
Nah Hutchy, start or finish wherever you want mate. It's always cross-purposes with you. You may be entertained but it's a waste of my time.
No media campaign, if anything they have overused the very small adverse vaccine reactions and caused vaccine hesitancy. Considering the slight risk involved, the airtime given and clickbaiting used was out of proportion to the risk. Luckily Aussies are in the majority pretty smart and are stepping up to do the right thing…leaving a stupid, angry bunch of idiots that refuse to accept facts.

Awesome news.
No worries Stu . I just disagree with you that the Australian spirit is gone . You a very entitled to have that view and entitled to not be convinced otherwise .
Your view did make me cross and I hope I have not misrepresented ( 5 syllables VL )your statement .
"according to the CDC website , raised significantly since I last looked 2 weeks ago . It is now 12% ."
Rubbish Hutchy, you're completely misreading the figures you idiot.
The figure you are quoting isn't 10% of African Americans have been jabbed. It's 10% of jabs have gone into African American arms.
Big difference champ. Do try and get your facts right.
And in other news, Melbourne CBD businesses have been told to prepare their premises and staff for a large anti-lockdown anti vax protest on Saturday.
People should chuck rotten food from a great height at these fuckers.

WTF are you and Roadkill trying to say here ? And you call me an idiot ! Are you saying they are getting it in their bums not just arms ?
Parrot said - We need facepalm emojis….:)
Go add up all the figures on a CDC vaccination chart based on race and it miraculously comes to 100%. Wow, what a coincidence!!! That's because it doesn't measure the vaccination rates of different races, It shows the percentage of vaccines going into arms based on race. 12.4% of Americans are African Americans. The figure is 10.4%.
Percentage of US citizens are Hispanic / Latino is 17.2%. The vaccination figure on the charts is 17.4%
Percentage of US citizens who are first nations people .8%. 1.1% of vaccines have gone to this category.
You are so hopelessly wrong it's embarrassing. I even told you in good faith you were wrong and you still can't admit it.
You even linked a article that proved my exact point, and proved you were hopelessly wrong.
What a piece of self humiliation.
Vlocal . "People should chuck rotten food from a great height at these fuckers."
Again you blurt out what you don't know . The windows in the buildings don't open and no one is in them anyway ( especially on a Saturday ) . You will have to go in and chuck food at them from a not so great height .
English test ?
VL - from the same page referring to Fig 1 . which has the 12% .
To provide greater insight into who is receiving the vaccine and racial/ethnic disparities in vaccination, KFF is collecting and analyzing state-reported data on COVID-19 vaccinations by race/ethnicity. As of September 7, 2021, 47 states and Washington D.C. were reporting vaccination data by race/ethnicity. This analysis examines how the vaccinations have been distributed by race/ethnicity and the share of the total population vaccinated by race/ethnicity. It also assesses trends in these data since March 1.
It doesn't say what you say -"It shows the percentage of vaccines going into arms based on race. 12.4% of Americans are African Americans. The figure is 10.4%.
Percentage of US citizens are Hispanic / Latino is 17.2%. The vaccination figure on the charts is 17.4%

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 ?
