The Pfizer vaccine has caused some heart issues in Israel. In young people. Waiting for that to get into the mainstream media like the AstraZeneca bloodclots. Yes the incidence is small for the heart issues but so is the blood clots incidence.

It’s been announced already. Payments of $500 (more than 20 hours per week) or $325 a week (less than 20 hours) if you have less than $10K of ‘liquid assets’ and can’t work. It was announced when Victoria went into lockdown last month. Only applies I think after the first week.

This is the worst situation since the national lockdown last year. Aviation will basically be at a stand still for a month at least.

And keep going, have a look at the difference between spike protein produced through vaccination versus infection, there are significant differences.

This virus isn’t going anywhere, it will circulate the globe forever. Elimination is not possible. At some point you will be exposed to the virus and the only difference will be whether you have been vaccinated or not. To me, the risk of side effects from the vaccine far outweighs the risks to health from being exposed unvaccinated.

The spike protein in the vaccine doesn’t remain in the cell that produces it but breaks off and circulates so it’s potentially worse

Vaccines take many many years to prove there worth over time, that there are NO long term risks or life long side effects.

But this so called vaccine doesn’t work anyway.
I sincerely hope you do not hold an ATPL.
If you do, please go and burn it- I don't want to see you operating heavy machinery with such a lack of cognitive skill.

I think most people can sense you’re full of it, but if anyone wants a scientific debunking of that rubbish:

‘Toxic’ spike protein claims misinterpret vaccine study

Now stop posting that nonsense, there’s more serious and relevant issues that should be discussed on this thread than that tripe.

Gladys is into him now about the lack of vaccinations available. How long is he going to hide for.
With her venting her frustration now its time he forgets about his photo opportunities & sorts this mess out..

While much has been spoken about the increased communicability of some of the latest variants, I have not heard any of the CHOs mention to what extent the reported positive cases are suffering in terms of health outcomes or treatment response.
I am not of course expecting them to give details of individual cases but in the early days of the pandemic in Europe, we saw graphic footage of people literally gasping their last breaths and doctors being able to do little about it.
So for the current crop of positive cases in Australia, how sick in general are these people? Are the majority showing nothing worse than what would have put them on sick leave from work for a few days 2 years ago? Or are they all in hospital under constant attention with life-threatening symptoms?
I ask the question because I genuinely have not heard or read of what has happened to the vast majority who were positive over the past few months.
Also the seeming lack of people who have or are aware they have debilitating symptoms even though they have been in contact with these positive cases does not seem to add up. (I don't mean that in a conspiratorial manner - just an observation)
Can anybody enlighten me??

And all have recovered after some mild symptoms.

I have the same question in mind, I did some online search as well can’t find any useful information. There are some new cases in south China, the medical experts in an interview mentioned only a few cases needed to be sent to ICU and all getting better. It seems the variant is more contagious but less lethal, just the government only want to mention the contagious part but ignore the other part. Correct me if anyone has more information.

300 having to be hospitalised. I wouldn’t call that mild symptoms. You don’t get admitted to hospital for mild symptoms. And fully recovered. We won’t know the full impact until they die. It might take a few years off their lives ..who knows.

this relates to 7 boys in the US, which are in addition to the hundreds in Israel

Two to six days in hospital..6 days sounds quite serious. Even two days now is a lot. Now doing pretty well. Wow that sounds encouraging. Not fully recovered…. And only likely heart changes were temporary. But we don’t really know…,

The boys, aged 14 to 19, received Pfizer shots in April or May and developed chest pain within a few days. Heart imaging tests showed a type of heart muscle inflammation called myocarditis.

None were critically ill. All were healthy enough to be sent home after two to six days in the hospital and are doing “doing pretty well,” said Dr. Preeti Jaggi, an Emory University infectious disease specialist who co-authored the report.

She said more follow-up is needed to determine how the seven fare but that it’s likely the heart changes were temporary.

My bad writing, I mean I’d much rather take the risk of side effects from vaccine than the risk to health of COVID.

We are nearly at a standstill folks. McGowan now putting up the border.

Won’t be much left by tomorrow it seems. Perhaps Melbourne and Adelaide to Tasmania and that’s it. Brisbane to Cairns and below. Melbourne to Mildura.

Alan is going to need some more cash fairly soon.
