Faster Vaccine up take means taking more risks, we were warned not to treat this as the silver bullet, but clearly that's what we intend to do, should we even be calling it a vaccine since it's more a pre exposure treatment than a vaccine. What's the solution, no-one coming into Australia should be in our capital cities at all, instead directly to an isolated quarantine facility. Anyone that could be infected like international crew is isolated in all other cases. It's only a matter of time before there's a fatal strain and we seem content to just let it spread far and wide before we even know about it. We've had 18 months to do this and what have we achieved, not very much. The last round of state border closures should have been the last.
