Centusin posted:It’s very dumb that we have a delta outbreak, a mountain of AZ nobody wants but apparently we can’t use that and instead need to talk about redirecting Pfizer. Based on the current numbers if you vaccinated all of SW and W sydney like 3 people might get blood clots? Just start a campaign encouraging everyone in the area to get an AZ shot, and Pfizer can remain the preferred option for young people in other states. Apparently 1 dose of AZ does bugger all against delta and the gap between AZ doses is pretty long. Seems like it won't be a solution to this current outbreak

There was probably a bit less general covid fatigue last year for Melbourne's big lockdown Dan seems a bit less scripted in his media briefings Aside from the mess at the start, the whole city was in the same situation, which maybe created a feeling of solidarity?

Seemlar posted:Closure of playgrounds and parks is just another extension of "look at how many people are on a beach in this photo taken with a telephoto lens" nonsense. A pointless punitive measure that makes no difference at all other than making peoples lives that little bit worse. I think it's playgrounds, not parks, ovals etc. A playground near the cafe in my area was as packed with adults as any outdoor dining area. If we accept that crowds are dangerous at the moment it seems like a consistent measure

droll posted:The one that the data says is less efficacious. Can you share your data that suggests they're all the same? If you ask a doctor they will tell you to get vaccinated as soon as possible with whatever is available now, they can interpret data too. Virologists don't even fully buy into the "x% efficacious" numbers, it's way more nuanced.

StrangeThing posted:This is some pretty serious fear-mongering. Pfizer effectiveness reduces against transmission, yes, but maintains its effectiveness against serious disease and death. Yeah they were talking about this on twiv recently. They can measure a decline in antibodies of one kind but no real change in outcomes of hospitalisation and death. The booster issue is debated among legitimate scientists.

I got my first shot a day before the initial disallowment for under 40s and since had my second shot, but won't likely be able to access Pfizer until Australia has its booster plans sorted whenever that is.

There's been vaccine scepticism as long as there's been vaccines. We have the internet now though, and diseases are less rampant in general so people think this is the natural state of things and not an achievement of medical science

Covid hit towards the end of that period so it's been significantly longer than the restrictions have been in force. But you were able to see them until about last March. In the sense that you weren't prevented by covid measures
