Look, we gave everyone more than enough access to AZ to keep them safe. And, if they died after taking it, it's their fault for taking it in the first place despite the best medical advice on the matter which I did everything in my power to override.

He was in charge when they choose the vaccine that disproportionately benefitted one of his cabinet members, he was in charge when they picked the people who'd run the rollout, he was in charge when they discovered the alarming clotting side effect, he was in charge when they encouraged people to get it anyway (and did so himself), he was in charge when people started dying. But he doesn't hold the vaccine?

This is some reverse 'I was just following orders' horse poo poo. If the concentration camp guard wasn't responsible, and Hitler wasn't responsible... who the gently caress was responsible?

Common misconception that; that fun is relaxing. If it is, you're not doing it right.
Ian Stewart Mellowship refused bail after allegedly threatening to harm Treasurer Josh Frydenberg

quote:

A West Australian man accused of travelling to Canberra to "flog" Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is behind bars after he was refused bail in the ACT Magistrates Court today.

The court heard Ian Stewart Mellowship had gone to the Treasury building as well as Parliament House, telling security staff about his plan.

...

Representing himself, he told the court he should be released.

"I'm one of the kindest people in the community – there's no need for bail to be refused," Mr Mellowship said.

...

Chief Magistrate Walker refused him bail, and also refused to accept his guilty pleas.

She invited him to seek legal advice, suggesting the stakes were high.

"You are looking at the prospect of going to prison," she said.

She also told the court she had concerns about Mr Mellowship's fitness to plead.

In response, Mr Mellowship said there was no need for an assessment about his fitness to enter a plea.

"I'm understanding ... I am not a retard," he said.

The case will be back in court next month.

Yeah but didn't you see? Last year everyone was thinking Pfizer would be hard to deal with because of needing low temperature, and at the time they didn't know AZ could have side effects and what were they meant to do, buy vaccine that could have possibly not been used?

Stop for me, it's the claw!



I've seen this posted online a couple of times, and I'm more than confident this isn't an expiry date (2018.07.15). Is there anyone who knows enough about product packaging to answer if boxes like this get date stamped before being labelled? A blank box sitting around for a year or so, which ends up getting the AstraZeneca label printed on it because it fits the appropriate sized vials? I'm really itching to tell people they are wrong and dumb, but I can't get the info I want with terms like "box manufacture printing date" and things of that nature.

I don't think you could convince anyone who buys that image as proof of a conspiracy that it's fake due to some quirk of how dates go on packaging sometimes, wether or not that's the case

And now NSW is trying to persuade the other states we should give up some of our vaccines to NSW.

A great plan if it had come a few weeks ago accompanied by an early lockdown to ensure the outbreak didn't spread, but there's no loving chance any premier is going to get their states to be on board with the idea when they are now facing down the barrel as well.
