Coronavirus

Thanks! I'm considering getting my second dose early as I'm an impatient fellow... someone told me this was possible but I've not found any confirmation of this.

@AngryAnt, based on the following I would be patient:

The Therapeutic Goods Administration’s advice is that AstraZeneca should be administered in two doses between four and 12 weeks apart. The ATAGI has recommended that the interval between first and second doses be 12 weeks.

A study published in the Lancet in February indicated that if the second dose was given less than six weeks after the first, vaccine efficacy at preventing symptomatic infections was 54.9 per cent. If given at least 12 weeks apart, efficacy rose to 82.4 per cent.

ScoMo's marketing background is coming in handy, he's got an End Of Financial Year sale on the AstraZeneca vaccine. But wait there's more, he's going to throw in a set of steak knives.

:D

There was some criticism that the myGov website was slow to upload vaccination status. I had my second shot on Friday and now I have my certificate to show that I’m fully vaccinated.

So 24 out of the 30 at the West Hoxton birthday party super spreader event contracted the virus.

The other 6 didn’t. You guessed it….

This is really interesting. There's been quite mixed messaging that people who are vaccinated still contract the virus but it minimises symptoms but could still pass it on. That these people who were vacinated didn't even contract the virus is a very important development.

Good news. Important that being vaccinated is a transparent process. I sure want people to know I've been vacinated, just as I want to know who hasn't been.

I had my 2nd jab last Wednesday & my covid certificate was available for download 2hrs later. I now have a copy of it on my phone.

QLD premier and health team very very pissed with Feds.
Wheels are falling off now all states getting covid and not enough vac and poor rollout.
Everyone is fed up with hopeless management.
Remains idiotic that people involved with covid are not vaccinated and that travellers are not vaccinated.
No immediate answer insight until mass vaccination happens on a large scale.
QLD telling us multiple thousands of people are entering Australia who are not Australians and who are not vaccinated. Business reasons only. They are denying Australians the chance to return.
Telling us our country borders are in fact NOT closed. Good to hear some honesty!
Finally...so nice to hear an honest conversation .

There has been a fair bit of talk about how effective the vaccine is and how some countries with high vaccination rates are still getting infections. While the infection numbers in countries with high vaccination rates can be high, and while this makes a good headline for the likes of Murdoch tabloids, the reality is more nuanced as a good article in The Age showed today.

Among other things it stated:

Overall, 92,000 people in England have contracted the Delta variant between February 1 and June 21. Seventy per cent had not been vaccinated at all or did not have enough time for an immune response to kick in from their first dose.

Only 7.8 per cent of new Delta cases were among double-vaccinated Britons.

And nobody in England aged under 50 and double jabbed has died from the Delta variant this year.

Also:

Public Health England now believes the AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have prevented 7 million people from getting COVID-19. This is a remarkable outcome given the primary purpose of the jabs was to cut serious disease and death, not reduce transmission.

It is also a reality check for those holding out false hope that vaccines will eradicate the virus. They can’t and won’t. But they do make crude case numbers a far less relevant indicator of how the pandemic is playing out.

Of the 92,000 Delta cases, 1320 people were admitted to hospital. Only 190 had been double vaccinated.

Note what it says: the vaccine's purpose is not to prevent the spread of the virus, it's purpose is to cut serious disease and death, and to make the number of infections far less relevant because the virus is causing a far lower rate of sickness, serious sickness and death.

The full article is here: https://www.theage.com.au/world/eur...country-getting-it-right-20210628-p5852n.html

So, can we get the bloody vaccination done now?

The QLD presser is very good viewing.
Better than reality tv.
I recommend it to everyone.

Morrison & his Government need to go. This is a monumental stuff up. Nobody to blame for this except them.

He at least needs to be questioned where the advice to give AZ to under 60's came from. I assume there was no expert advice and this was done on a whim.

Sounds bad for the Feds. Do you think Credlin OA and that other Murdoch reported will get the call from ScMo's fixers to redeploy to Brisbane immediately?
