Once the incestous FDA/Pfizer gang got the OK in the US, the chance of our lot not following was Buckley's.

Now we have that appalling prick in Victoria suggesting the triple vaxxed are put at risk by the unvaxxed.

So just what happens in 12 weeks as the booster wanes?

I've only been on this forum for a week or 2 now, and I've seen you post this several times. Wonder how many more times it's hidden throughout the hundreds of pages!

You've got a strong underlying case of survivorship bias there Blowin, coupled with a misunderstanding of personal health vs community health finished with a topping of 'food is medicine'!

It was exceedingly clear, since like January 2020, that the actual threat to the healthy individual from covid is low - so please, stop repeating it.

I'm sure you've read and rebuked something similar to this several times, but even if the hospitalisation rate turns out to be 0.5%, that's still around 125K people in hospital in Australia, which our health system is not designed for. There's no backup, no pandemic ready system which can be scaled etc. etc. it's still also a huge, unplanned cost on the taxpayer.

So, it's not about fear death from covid, it never was, since early 2020.

I can agree that the news played it up, for their own benefit (fear sells clicks), but that's it. Any thoughts which stray into the realm of the govenrment/pharma/media is working together is proper tin foil hat stuff. May as well start arguing flat earth principles.

It's about rationally understanding that covid will roll through all of us, and any small, positive step we can make (such as getting an incredibly safe vaccine), will make a significant difference. less people hospitalised, less death, less knock on effects and yes, even a degree of reduction in transmission.

From aaron61 link ……Mr Hunt also urged the thousands of Australians who have recovered from the virus not to become complacent.

“If you have had Omicron, the simple message is: you still need to be boosted,” he said.…., then in March do you still get Pfizer’s new omicron specific vaccine ?

I’m confused Stok. I thought the whole idea of vaccinating the population was to protect the vulnerable and end the pandemic. It’s not about an individual’s capacity to fight the virus. Doesnt finding one or two doctors that support your biased wishes to not have your kids jabbed based on their individual lack of need just make you an anti vaxxer? Doesnt this make your kids super spreaders and granny killers?

Why do you reserve the right for your kids but then belittle others who choose the same?

Hint: the answer starts with e and ends with go

What exactly are you getting at Shoredump?

We hit over 90% vaxxed for over 12yr olds, we acted appropriately to provide a high level of protection within the population before we reopened. 5-11yr olds have just become eligible and there's currently no speak of mandates.

Also, I never said I would go with a preconceived notion that i didn't want my kids to be vaccinated, I would likely just consult them and discuss any questions I have. It'd probably be a quick consult to be honest, with the likelihood of myocarditis thru covid more likely than thru vaccines, and omicron leading to higher rates of hospitalisation of children around the world.

I'm not pretending to be perfect, I'm still susceptible as anyone to emotional propaganda - and children is a strong one. So, when people on forums like this, or on social media, share information which provides unfair focus on the risk of vaccination vs the net benefits in children, of course the mind creates what if scenarios.

Here he is. The number 1 bed wetter up to his old tricks.
Myocarditis more common from Covid than Vaccines in kids? Where is your proof?

Just throwing it out there, if the vaccine does not stop transmission wouldn’t you be doubling their risk of myocarditis by getting them jabbed?

You really are pathetic Stok. It’s sad you live in this fear state that you would calculate these Tiny risks then inject your children with an experiment with ZERO long term safety data.

" Increasing COVID-19 vaccine boosters or vaccinating people who have not yet been vaccinated is unlikely to have any substantial impact on the omicron wave because by the time these interventions are scaled up the omicron wave will be largely over. "

No mate, I was never going to get vaccinated and never will.

You can google that one Robo, if you really want. The good news is it seems this is more so a result of the scale of Omicron transmission, rather than severity. Still early days though.

And sorry for not clarifying - I've been around Swellnet for years as a semi lurker, sometimes weighing in on things here and there. Finally got suckered into this chat.

As for whether or not I surf, well I live in Victoria, and this is the worst summer I can remember wave wise, so the answer is, no I don't currently surf ;)

Yeah I figured.

I shared an article (silly me) from August last year (not quite 6 months, but I know maths isn't your strong point!) which backed this up. Things may have changed through Omicron, but there's no indication this will remain the same, get better, or get worse.

The fact that you hang on your opinion that Omicron is mild, and constantly use stats and justifications from Omicron only doesn't stack up. It's like you're treating Omicron as a 'win' for your dogmatic views, like you foresaw its arrival. When really, it just shows how desperate you are to remind yourself and everyone how mild covid is, and any action to reduce it's severity other than exercise and diet classifies you as a bed wetter.

That’s not the Washington Post giving a fuck about the covid fear and loathing- which they did more than their share of disseminating- that’s the Washington Post running cover for a failing Joe Biden and plummeting support for the Democrats. The Russia Russia Russia Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine ( !!!!!!) beat up wasn’t garnering the political distraction they’d hoped, particularly after the Ukrainians told Biden to settle the fuck down with his war mongering. So now the Democrat corpo media have decided that a reset of Biden’s covid narrative is the next best hope to pump life into his blueing political carcass.

Denmark will remove virtually all Covid restrictions from next Tuesday, as the Prime Minister announced the nation will go back to 'life as we knew it before corona' and that the disease was no longer 'threatening for society'.
In Denmark, health authorities 'recommend' people who test positive to isolate for four days, but the citizens will not be legally bound to do so.

Do you really believe that’s the marks of a successful vaccine? A vaccine that has never been jammed down our throats more is history.

A vaccine up sold by government throughout Australia, a vaccine that has caused segregation within our community?
