Wrong shortenism, My Nan knew how to deal with a crisis as her hubby went off to kill nazis. She didn't go to pieces when the German bombs started landing on her town.
I wonder how you'd cope if you lived in those times. Given you're too shit scared to get a jab and chuck your toys out the cot when you have to show a vaccine passport, I'm tipping not very well. My Nan had a proper gas mask, You can't cope with wearing a cloth one.

This is getting fucking nuts. It’s March 2020 all over again. The media has just reset the clock on the fear mongering campaign .

Not a single person around the world has died or even been hospitalised from the Moronic Strain yet we are back to screaming headlines and counting single figure cases.

Australia has 8 cases and the media is breathlessly waiting to add another digit to the score board. FFS.

This is fucking disgraceful. I remember reading somewhere that the Moronic strain was meant to have an R number of 8 which meant that infected people passed it on to 8 others. The first case known has been established in the Netherworld at least 6 weeks ago and yet there is only a few hundred cases in the entire world.

You are being played.

Nothing has changed for me since a new strain was reported blowin. How exactly am I being played?

We are waiting to see whether my wife’s parents can fly in from overseas in a few weeks, but otherwise it’s situation ‘normal’ here. I don’t disagree with your view that the media is hyping it with over the top reporting, but that’s just life normal now. Part of the reason we don’t have a TV.

Those cloth masks don't work? Really Dr shortenism, And where are you getting that from? Are you an expert in the field? The evidence is in, masks do help prevent the spread of covid. See https://www.pnas.org/content/118/4/e2014564118

But I'm sure you'll be able to find some YouTuber who disagrees with the experts. If masks don't work, why TF have surgical staff been using them for decades perhaps even centuries. Fashion?

Here's your problem shortenism. You talk absolute shit. Your commentary on Covid has been laughably wrong for 2 fucking years. You can't back up your bullshit with links. You're just a clown.

Far out that’s a long paper to read and digest just to get an indication of whether wearing masks makes a difference.

I need a nanna nap after the first section (and I already had one today…)

It even covers the idea of moral hazard - if wearing a mask makes people less strict about other prevention behaviours like say they then don’t bother to social distance as much.

I’d like to hear the debate address questions such as :

/Obesity has been recognised as a representative in 80% of severe covid cases, why is this the government not campaigning to reduce weight problems amongst Australia’s population? When it’s within people’s control to greatly reduce their chance of experiencing severe illness why is this not a government priority?

/Why hasn’t the government launched a health blitz campaign full stop? People should be encouraged to get regular sun exposure, exercise consistently and eat well…why is the government not addressing this factor which is easily manageable yet overwhelmingly effective at combating serious disease?

A virus so serious it literally brings the nation to a halt, yet it’s too hard to educate and incentivise people in the easirpest and most effective way to secure their safety?

Is there anywhere on the planet where a population has been determinately influenced to i,prove their collective health as best defence against covid? And good health literally is your best defence. This is scientific fact. The odds of dying if you are healthy are so low it’s ridiculous regardless of vaccination status. Why has this not been the initial starting point in fighting covid?

Great post.

Girly Vax Guidelines will be chewed up, spat out & stomped on by Jacqui Lambie in 5/4/3/2/1.
Vax Combatants be careful not to get a papercut on yer [ Box of Tissues ]

Current Universal Covid Vax Exemptions by Ultra Hesitant Health Authorities.

WHO : "Don't Vax if you're sick, wait until symptoms resolve!"
CDC : "Delay Vax until moderate to severe illness has improved!"
NHS : "If you feel unwell you should postpone Vax to recover!"

NZ : "If you are unwell on the day of your Vax appointment, you will need to reschedule it!"

Aust Govt Vax Exemptions.
"If you have a major illness, you should delay Vax until you're well!"
[Aust Vax Consent Form] : "Have you been sick or feel sick in any other way?"
"You should 'Chat' (Yarn) to GP > Specialists > Cardiologists to discuss Vax or additional precautions!"

Australian States / Territories (Vax Exemptions)
NSW : "You should not attend your Vax appointment if you feel unwell!"
"It's better to wait until you have recovered to have your Vax!"
Qld : "If you feel unwell, do not attend your Vax appointment!"
Vic : "Don't go to a Vax appointment if you 'Think' you 'May' have Covid!"
SA: "If you have 'Covid Symptoms'- high fever, you should delay your Vax until you're well!"
WA : "If you feel unwell on the day of your Vax, please ensure you cancel your booking!"
ACT : "If you can't make your Vax day because you're unwell, reschedule or cancel your appointment!"
Tas : "If a person is sick or has high temp' they should postpone Vax until recovery! (Applies to all Tas Vax!)
NT : "You should not attend a Vax appointment if you are unwell with possible Covid symptoms!"

Just saying that all sick people have same Vax exemption by united world health order...(All say aye!)
Govts long ended Outpatient Healthcare so know of growing list of patients needing help to vax!
Govts ban unvaxed outpatients for extended eternal damnation as outpatients rejoice over lip service!
Hell will freeze over before Outpatients thaw out to Vax...'GoDobMe' into yer local Police State Fuhrer!

PS: ( Twist in the Tale!)
Law also says 'Sick' people can't bring their can of worms into Work...crew can read into that!

In otherwords! If yer too sick to Vax yer also too sick for work in Transit/Govt/Health/Civic Frontline!
Pays to remind this very same issue was coming to the boil as it peaked with Covid. (Strange but true!)
IT will remain front & centre & prioritize Oz Sickies in the workplace from now onwards.
Crew live & breathe a fast evolving intrusive Digital Compliance that will leave Vax for dead!

Asking for a friend:

If all the vax manufacturers combined were to make 1 dose per second it would take nearly 30 years to make 1 billion doses. They want to jab the population several times over, so where is it all coming from? Where's the manufacturing facilities, the direct employment jobs boom? Supply chain and ingredient boom? It would take a minimum of 6 months to train a technician in the very basics of vessel competency, yet here we are with a seemingly unlimited supply?

It's all clearly explained on TikTok, by a hot chick with a PHD she did online..it was intense study that took her all of 10 hours. Luckily for us..she pauses often to upload a pic to instagram and other social media.

Bill gates has unground manufacturing facilities..as he planned this global control thing over the last 10 years..there is a whole secret distribution network..so there is already gazillions of bazillions of the evil vax already made.

the only thing more selfish, would be riding two abreast on a road, in one of the most shameless acts of entitlement ever, holding up all that traffic behind because of some anorchronistic flaw of the law, then getting all uppity and aggresive when normal people get pissed with your behaviour...

“Adult babies” says the guy that insisted millions of invulnerable young and healthy Australians be locked indoors and put their lives on hold because he was afraid of getting a runny nose.

The same bloke who Airbnb’s precious local real estate whilst young locals are unable to find somewhere to live in his town, who had his hand out for thousands and thousands of tax payer stimulus money whilst crying that he’d been cut off from his wage reducing coolie workforce.

The same bloke who is just about praying for some kind of disturbance at a protest so that he can get all shouty shouty online whilst acting like a top shelf shrunken ball bag in the flesh.

Did it ever enter your pea-sized brain blowin, that my opinions on covid aren't based on self-concern?
You're so fricken narrow minded, you haven't worked out that not everyone is a selfish wanker like you.
I'm healthy and vaxxed so the chances of me getting seriously ill from covid are quite slim. My opinions re covid are what they are because I do care about the elderly, medical professionals, indigenous people, at risk people etc. You on the other hand couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone but yourself, and that determines your "adult baby" attitude to covid.

It's no wonder a lot of Aboriginal people are not getting the covid vaccine; they simply don't trust the government after the way they've been treated for the last couple of centuries. My daughter is the only non-Aboriginal person in her work crew and none of them are getting the vaccine. They were threatened with the sack but they stood their ground and were allowed to continue working because the boss soon realised he would be left in the lurch without them. I hope they don't get affected by the virus when/if it rips through our community, as vaccination rates are much lower around here.

Current Covid Vax Trials require 15-30,000 Participants
Trials up to 7th Sept 2021
25 Nations - 'Clinical' Trials + 12 Nations Vax are currently under 'Clinical' Development
37 nations (Total) - 90% are authorized for use

Vax allocation to all partnering Trial Nations...was distributed as follows...
90% Vax to the Host Big Pharma Nations
51.7% High Income Nations > 31% Middle Income nations > 14.9% Low income nations.

(Early Sept) WHO Covax 'equitable' delivery rates :
78.8% Upper Middle Income > 38.8% Lower Middle Income > 15.4% Low Income.
https://news.yale.edu/2021/11/18/inequitable-access-covid-19-vaccines-am...
Vax Experts claim they Pimp the greatest ever injustice, viral infections & death upon minority races.
In reality, the lowest Vaxed, low Covid nations salute WHO for withholding their infectious Covax packs.

Current > Future Covid Vax Trials
194 Vaxes are under development
+ an extra 134 in Phase 1/2/3 Trials
+ another 38 in Phase 3 Trials
+ a further 10 in phase 4 Trials (These Trials may cross with the 10% from above?)

Oz has 12 onshore Vaxes in Phase 1/2 Trials + 10 o/s Trials
https://ncirs.org.au/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine-development-landscape

2021/22 Oz Trials alone must sacrifice 330,000 unvaxed virgins/year to supply Dan's Vax fix!
3.3m Unvaxed Aussies to lock in 10 Year Covid Vax investment...or Pay extra for delayed Rollouts!
So which Oz Govt/Science/ Health Expert has our future Covid Vax Hesitant Vaxer's Plan to share.

Think it sounds daft...tbb agrees...but it's also bang on the money & a Big Pharma reality.
Big Pharma recently wanked over Ultra Hesitant Qldurrz.
USC : "Sanofi approached Qld because of our slow Rollout meant lots of trial participants!" (Ka-ching!)
https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/can-t-get-a-covid-j...

eg: South Africa 2010 - 30 trials/yr > 2020 - 600 trials/yr = $45b Big Pharma investment.
90% of US/ Canada Drugs are trialled offshore for a more sinister reason?
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/most-experimental-drugs-are-t...

Oz vaccine mandates ironically kill off Oz Covid Science investment, now we're the World's bitch.
Vax Mandate just means we gotta empty our Pockets, while waning for EU blocked boosters.
Perhaps CSIRO detox units could regurgitate a fresh batch of puritans for each new Vax Trial.

(Fresh Unvaxed Meat for waning Vegetables) > Last chance option!
tbb engaged Govt for Hesitant Outpatient Trial Vax Care Packs to secure future Oz Covid investment.
In 6 months 9/10 Vax exemptions will be torn up...(Govt can Secure 2-3 years Healthy Vax Trials)
