Globally, the WHO data suggests that effectiveness tapers off from about 8 months for Pfizer and slightly longer for AstraZeneca while the USA has approved boosters for over 65's and high risk workers after 6 months.

Going out on a high.
I’m disappointed, she was a known quantity. That’s not an endorsement overall, but comment on the relative merits of any replacement. Bad timing, for sure. |

Will be interesting to see who the replacement will be, and if there will be any subtle change in direction or focus on Covid response going forward. Please someone check up on FairmontGS. No joke.

Yes it was tinged by my own particular circumstances, apologies if it appeared like a spray but once you rip that band-aid off... FWIW I wasn't having a go at anyone in particular and I have no knowledge of his particular issues or how old they are or what medications they are on. Whereas I normally treat quite a few posters in this particular thread with the same disdain I reserve for people who protest maskless in their thousands on the steps of the War Memorial, the karens that have a maskless ignorant go at front of store staff, anti-vaxxers or the entitled few that think their poo doesn't smell like other people's poo, that particular post pushed me over the edge. Most of the people in society will be the right thing for the greater good of society even if it personally disadvantages them. Yes they will not like it but they'll put up with it. There are a few over-entitled selfish twats that think it's ok that a few people die for the greater (i.e. their) good. I don't subscribe to this belief. I'm not saying this isn't hell. It is hell and I hate every single damn minute. I'm not saying people aren't suffering. People are suffering, their livelihoods are suffering, families are suffering, we're all suffering. I'm especially not saying the various Governments' (State and Federal) handling of exemptions, lockdowns and quarantine has been flawless. In fact it has been the opposite, it has been a horrendous comedy of errors and egos. I'd like to think they learn and have learnt from their mistakes but I am not hopeful. What I am saying is that attacking the lockdowns as being the root of all evil, various State Premiers as being the devil incarnate and the vaccines as being the thin edge of the wedge is specious when the only skin you have in the game is that of a bunch on unknown random old people that are going to die anyway. The facts are that the various vaccines and restricting civil liberties are the only viable options governments have for trying to control the spread of this virus so it doesn't run rampant through the more vulnerable sections of our communities. If the Federal Government had been a bit more forward-looking in regards to procuring vaccines and if people had complied with the lockdowns and restrictions in a more selfless manner then we would not be having this discussion. For the people that like to bleat and snipe and criticise what are your suggestions for getting us all (not just you personally) out of this mess given you have the benefit of (a) hindsight and (b) zero accountability? ...unwarranted my bottom. |

If someone I know dies from it, it's god's will. If they have had their vax and it wasn't enough to save them then that's just the way it is. People die everyday from all sorts of things. I'd rather die living my life than being locked up and scared of a virus. That's no life. |

International border will reopen next month for states that have reached 80 per cent vaccination rates, starting with NSW Fully vaccinated Australians and permanent residents arriving in NSW will be able to home quarantine for a week, instead of paying thousands to quarantine at a hotel for a fortnight, pending the success of the state's home quarantine trial Commercial flights out of Australia will resume for vaccinated Australians Mr Morrison said the government would consider quarantine-free travel between some countries, such as NZ, "when it is safe to do so" Travellers must be fully vaccinated with an approved vaccine to home quarantine unless they are under 12 or medically exempt The TGA has advised that the Sinovac and the Covishield vaccines would be considered "recognised vaccines" when determining whether an incoming international traveller has been appropriately vaccinated. The recognition of those vaccines will remove a significant barrier for international students seeking to study in Australia South Australia will also be able to implement home quarantine for vaccinated arrivals once 80 per cent of people over 16 are fully vaccinated in the state. Unvaccinated travellers will be required to hotel quarantine for a fortnight COVID-19 testing is expected to continue to be a part of travel, but the government is looking at using rapid antigen testing as part of the arrangement

Media is indicating resignation from both positions, but the waters are still muddy.

That would mean a by election, but I am not seeing any media talking about that, unless I am missing it.

"Authorised worker" mandatory jab requirement annouced by Vic Gov today.... Probably would have been easier to make a list on who it doesn't cover.....pollies are now on the mandated list too.
https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...01-p58whn.html Edit: Full list from Vic Gov site: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/a...ed-worker-list I suspect Vic might see further emmigration of population to other states in the short term....thats assuming other states don't follow.

and there is the crux of it, a belief that some fairy is responsible for everything so that you can wipe your hands of any responsibility
Poor form to blame so imaginary fairy my friend - step up and take responsibility

ah well, that is what happens when you have a society with a minority of irresponsible selfish ****s mostly aged between 18 and 40 who only give a **** for themselves and not the wider community, and as a parent with kids in the latter part of that age group I have to take some responsibility, I bred them
