Younger gens absolutely for sure have that wakefield study poo poo floating around in their moron brains but plenty of people still remember thalidomide even if they only know it as the flipper baby drug Yeah I dunno. My ex's aunty had polio as a kid and uses a wheel chair. She took a loooot of convincing from her nurse sister and neice to get the vaccine. I was fully vaccinated a month before she was.

Wow, I got sent a link to the (now defunct) "The Young IPA Podcast". They look just like the sort of insufferable shits you'd expect, three guesses for who the father of James Bolt is... Maybe I'll listen to one when I'm in a bad mood out on an angry run around the track. https://ipa.org.au/ipa-tv/the-young-ipa-podcast

NPR Journalizard posted:From memory a scientist was asked about something like this, and apparently if you are going to have an adverse reaction to a vaccine, it generally happens in the first few months. They tend not to just lay dormant for years and then decide to cause issues. Pre-vaccine - no reason for a reaction Exposure - you inject/swallow whatever the vaccine is made of and if it's going to cause a reaction it will Reaction - your body gradually breaks down the contents of the vaccine and at the same time your immune system hopefully develops an antibody response to the antigen. If the antibodies are going to cause a problem this is when it is likely to start happening. Meanwhile you're running out of chances to react to the raw vaccine contents Immunity - The antibodies have probably started doing anything they're going to do to you, and the contents of the vaccine have hopefully been eliminated from your system It's reasonable based on past history and thinking through the mechanism to expect the vaccine will have no delayed adverse effects. This is especially true given that hundreds of millions of people have been living post-vaccine for months to a year at this point. There aren't really a lot of ticking time bombs in the human body, more like half lives and weighted chances. It's not "how many minutes until you get a blood clot and have a stroke" it's "what are the chances of it happening randomly on any given day?". The chance is higher for some people than others, but there's no countdown to it happening, and the low risk person might get hit before the high risk person. So if you take something that's "going to happen to every vaccine recipient in five years", you'd think it would have already started happening to some people, in the same way that some small number of unlucky people get type 2 diabetes or have a stroke or a heart attack in their 30s. On the other hand, there are weird interactions between the immune system and pathogens, like Dengue, so if you look at the question from a truly skeptical standpoint (like "can we be 100% sure the sun will rise tomorrow?" skeptical) then it's not proven that the COVID vaccines won't somehow hurt people later. But I would and did bet my life on it.

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:boomer and greatest gen brains have been permanently broken by the thalidomide thing All the boomers I talk to (and living in rural NSW they're everywhere) didn't have a problem with vaccines, they had a problem with not getting THE GOOD ONE. So it's more that their brains have been permanently broken from being at the front of the queue for everything. The government (mostly Scotty) made a complete hash of the messaging around A-Z.

I have a theory that this actually worked out in our favour because there's a sizeable cohort of boomers who would've naturally fallen into the anti-vax camp and not been vaccinated at all, but who were instead led into the YOU DESERVE THE GOOD ONE camp.

True. Telling them they can't have something is like catnip. A good proportion would have had no idea what a franking credit was before they heard Labor was planning to change the tax treatment of them.

Old news I guess, but amoung all the face planting and belly flopping from the actual PM sometimes we miss.. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Deputy PM:quote:BARNABY JOYCE: In politics, as Joel knows and I know, sometimes it’s not so much how you ride the horse, but how you get off it. Some people get off it with grace and walk to the rail and sit on the rail and people go up and talk to them, but some people just can’t help themselves, they keep a foot in the stirrup and get dragged around in the horse manure. We’re seeing a couple of people with their foot in the stirrup getting dragged around the horse manure. They’ve gone from former prime ministers to current pains in the neck, and what do you do? If I walked around your studio, or your workplace, or your morning tea at school, even the pub, calling everybody a liar, you just look at the person and say, I don’t care what your former job was, mate, you’re a dipstick. You can’t just wander around brandishing those sorts of allegations. You’ve got to have some decorum for the office that you held, for the nation you led and act like it. Couch your terms, even if you have a concern, you know how to say it and couch it in such terms with subtly and deference to not create a massive problem. When you leave politics, you’re supposed to rise above politics, you know. You’re always an idealist as you walk up the hill and you’re more broad minded as you walk down it, but you’re more broadminded with a brain between your ears. https://minister.infrastructure.gov.au/joyce/interview/sunrise-channel-7 Aunty Sherry Fisher-Tilberoo, 49, died of a suspected brain aneurysm in the Brisbane police watch house in the early hours of 10 September 2020 while being held on remand. According to the coroner, police failed to perform adequate physical checks of Fisher-Tiberoo before she died and at a pre-inquest directions hearing the coroner said: “There may be systematic issues with respect to the management of prisoners in watch houses.” The assistant police commissioner Brian Codd announced that an assistant watch house supervisor had been suspended after an internal police investigation into Fisher-Tilberoo’s death. The woman, who is not a sworn police officer, was stood down on full pay for alleged failures of duty “in relation to the performance of physical checks” and “related record keeping”.
