In most western Chinese food interpretations a hotpot dish comes with all the stuff in it - it’s basically a soup broth with chunky bits. I guess that’s for ease of service though.

Those numbers are so low, as someone living in an idiotic place I'm glad somewhere is still taking this seriously.

But what's the deal with the low vaccination rates in Australia? Did the government just not procure a bunch of it?

It's more that it's projected to get really bad here, for the first time. We're all bracing for it right now :(

More or less. Then we only had AstraZenica, and our vaccination analysis body ATAGI went "we ran the numbers, and if you're under 40 then at the current rate of infection you're statistically more likely to die of blood clots than COVID-19".

Then as things started to get bad in Sydney the Prime Minister went "oh, just ask your doctor to make an exception for you" and all the doctors went "wtf??" because the advice from ATAGI hadn't changed. Then it did, because the infection rates were getting worse. Then we finally got Pfizer arriving. I just had my first Pfizer shot two days ago. I nearly got AstraZenica, but by the time it would be time for me to get the second AZ both Pfizer shots would have been available.

That, and there's probably some complacency. The west coast has been mostly untouched.

The government put all their eggs in the Astra Zeneca basket because an old mate of their's is on the board. Then the stuff came out about the blood clots and medical advice was changed to recommend the Pfizer vaccine, which we barely bought any of because no one was getting kickbacks. And then they blamed the population for "vaccine hesitancy" when it was all their messaging around the AZ that stopped people from wanting it.

They were offered 40 million doses of Pfizer in July 2020 to arrive in January this year, enough to vaccinate the entire adult population, but kinda went "mmm, nahh", based on, and I cannot stress this enough, no medical advice at all.

quote:

Pfizer had allegedly offered Australia priority options for the vaccine in July 2020. According to Health Minister Greg Hunt, the government rejected the offer citing “medical advice”, deciding instead to back the AstraZeneca vaccine.

However, according to Bill Bowtell, UNSW Adjunct Professor of Strategic Health Policy, that advice must have been based on “commercial and political advice”.

Sources say the government could not have possibly decided on “medical advice” because it wasn’t available at the time.

I should also say, though, that the VIC state government is taking this extremely loving seriously. We're on tight lockdown, and have been for a while now, until we hit 70% vaccinated.
