'I do not want under-40s to get AstraZeneca', Queensland Chief Health Officer says
If this isn't so depressingly sad, it'd be funny.
"Very few deaths in Oz in under 50-yr-olds." But who are the ones being screwed over by the ongoing lockdowns - sorry, "Stay-at-home-orders"? Taxpayers. Who, are by and large,
under 50! Who are the people going to be
paying for the decisions these CHO's and Premier's are making? Taxpayers,
particularly those under 50!
These decisions, particularly these days with the Delta variant that appears to be more contagious but nowhere near as fatal, are becoming more and more based on a CHO's
opinion of risk, rather than
data. For example: in NSW, on the 28th December 2020, we have had
4,683 cases that resulted in
56 deaths source. Fast forward to 30 June and we have had
5,637 cases that have resulted in exactly
zero additional deaths Source.
1,000 more cases with no additional fatalities in 6 months and that's in NSW. Pretty good odd's I'd have to say.
