We were sold a bunch of lies from state premiers and CMOs that this can be eliminated. The population believed it. We aren't world leaders, we are better than any country, we have had our head up our so far up our arse and now it is gonna come around to bite us in the arse. Aussie are about to get a sorely needed lesson in the facts of life. We are gonna go through this year what the rest of the world went through last year. We are kidding ourselves if we think otherwise.

I think we're just gonna lockdown instead of that

On the topic of ruined plans, it's a shame 18,000 Australians had their plans to return to Australia this year ruined because Victoria, Queensland and WA made a push for the arrival cap to be slashed. Still amazes me that Australians continue to have zero sympathy for anybody that happened to be overseas at the time this began.

Also remember how this NSW outbreak started because of a guy that drove the crew from a freight plane?

Well I hope those people who decided not to partake are still not infected in 8-12 weeks for their 2nd shot. I do have sympathy for those who were blocked from getting their jab despite wanting to get it.

The medical advice changed because the risk profile changed, and only in Sydney. Makes sense? Following medical advice rather than goons melting down seems like a good idea to me.

70% of the eligible population doesn't include people below a certain age and people who can't have it - equating to about 50% of the population apparently. A number that is noticeably not high enough for herd immunity.

Gladys and Morrison are essentially telling people to get vaxxed because they intend to let it rip like the US and UK who are instituting lockdown measures to help their hospital systems cope.

This is exactly what I think is going to happen. They’re going to let it rip at 70% of adults and I’m going to keep my kids at home while cases build to hundreds, maybe thousands a day, and children get pummelled by it.

what do you want people from overseas to do? Sit in their house crying for years on end because they lost a loved on? Are they meant to sit around mourning the loss of everyone who died in their country? Am I guess a majority of people in those countries didn't actually lose anyone? Why should they be sad and not enjoying themselves. Aussie and bootlickers and cowards, look what we are doing to any Aussie coming home. All because our population are cowards. It is disgusting.

There was an article about research that suggested long-covid is caused by a reactivation of a dormant virus present in 95% of the population the other day. The virus was Epstein-Bsomething?

But hoooboy (no relation to hooman) what a gamble letting rip will be. Thanks Gladys, Scott.

Epstein Barr? It’s a herpes virus that most of us have/have had that causes glandular fever among other unpleasant things.

Luckily for us 12-15 year olds are going great on getting vaccinated especially compared to their elders. Probably because they're not on facebook.

https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/news/Pages/20211013_00.aspx

They've only been eligible for about 2 and half months

This is great, but I keep seeing their good uptake getting attributed to them being smarter than their elders. They probably are, but they’re getting jabbed faster because there’s no need to be hesitant about AZ anymore, there is no supply issue anymore, and their parents are taking them to get jabbed ASAP. 12-15 year olds don’t make their own medical decisions

I saw Idiocracy for the first time last week and oh man. I thought when people said it was a pro-eugenics movie they meant if you dug deep into the subtext it was a bit problematic. But nope, movie might as well have had the narrator turn to the camera and implore us to murder the poor before their inferior genes overwhelm and infect the gene pool.
