This is particularly funny given that his seat was already marginal and, IIRC, has recently undergone a boundary redrawing which makes it even more marginal in the next election

I get my second pfizer jab tomorrow. Pretty happy I locked things in pretty early on, as I don't think you can get appointments until November now.

I've also heard the 2nd jab can mess you up a bit (headaches, fatigue, and such), so there's that to look forward to.

I had zero reaction to the second pfizer dose, and my boss didn't either.

My partner and a few friends were really hosed up the day afterwards though.

Yeah I think best to go in expecting a lovely fever-sleep the night after and then a day of misery and the hardest OTC drugs available (not even codeine anymore ffs). This was my experience and mostly what I hear. If you get off easier, you're winning.

Every time they play a question time clip where a useless gently caress gives Morrison the sloppiest verbal gobbie so he can then claim the fed gov isn't a poo poo golem that had to be dragged loving screaming to do any part of its job, how they present themselves as taking measured responses to a developing situation and not so far behind the ball hubble can't make them out is so aggravating. Someone just call them out on their bullshit please. Albo gently caress off you're not going to wedge the libs with $300 jab bucks.

But if they do that, they might lose their Canberra press club pass.





Also, can't believe they voted down the $300 vaccination incentive because it was "an insult" to the Australian people - as decided by people making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

I had my second Pfizer jab on Monday. The list of potential side effects? I had just about them all. Insomnia, fever and chills, headache, arm hurt like hell and basically everything hurt. A day later I feel like a million bucks. After the first dose I was perfectly fine. I don’t regret and thing and would do it again.

The $300 jab incentive seems like a no brainer but we have the no spend libs in power.

Like that's 15 hours of work at minimum wage, enough for someone to not worry about missing a shift because they had a reaction to the jab.

I got what can be best described as a hangover the day after my second dose of Pfizer. Sweaty and a headache but it passed pretty quick.

I think it's actually an issue that $300 is not really that meaningful. It's not even a cheap bag once you factor in the ATM fee.

It's not supposed to be a boon, it's to compensate people who will probably lose that amount of money by sacrificing their work hours. And hell, if an unemployed guy can have three hundred dollars that is also very cool, but I think there would be a Test about it if it passed that excluded 'em

I mean, I'm a loving idiot for a whole multitude of reasons but "lives in the middle of nowhere in regional nsw where covid hasn't been sniffed for a year and also is in the age range where atagi said not to get az and am not yet being offered pfizer" isn't really one of them

I'd go get the clot juice for three hundred ablo bucks when there is currently no other reason to when covid's current impact on my life is "have to wear a mask while listening to people make transphobic jokes about Laurel Hubbard while doing work for the dole at vinnies"
