Because we are a bit irrational when it comes to assessing risk. This was a good article on it: https://www.smh.com.au/national/worr...20-p58beh.html

A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records, has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines.

You keeping repeating those figures but never include that statement. Every time you do someone sensible here points out that CDC statement, but you guys continue to post that rubbish again and again as if you’ve just made some incredible discovery the “brainwashed sheeple” aren’t aware of.

Can’t you see people on this page aren’t falling for this?
Using what is nothing more than a disclaimer on the VAERS website as support for your specious argument while ignoring the acknowledged fact of deaths with (or after having had) Covid 19 being counted as deaths from Covid 19 in this country and others, thereby inflating death tolls and adversely influencing public opinion, is hypocritical and disingenuous at best. At worst it is grossly misleading and potentially damaging to the ignorant who, amazingly, seem to find the basis for their beliefs in, of all places, this forum. Your skill is in cherry-picking factoids and assembling them in such a way as to imply authority and a veracity beyond question, to suit your own preferred perspective. Despite urging others to acknowledge some vague proposition of your own you won't acknowledge or clarify your true motivation for your attempts to convince the uncertain.

I suppose they can. If you're insisting that they do so, let's also ask that the "vaxers" also "post as to whether (or not) they've lost their livelihoods in aviation due to COVID19" vaccination? I know of several who have but doubt they're contributing on here.

My apologies, wong, obviously I hadn't thought of you, specifically, when I referred to the desperate, ignorant, occasionally rabid, knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers of the peanut gallery and am saddened to learn you consider yourself one of them. If it helps, I firmly doubt your knuckles truly drag.

It’s curfew time Gladys.

The stories being put on talkback this morning the mind boggles. Home to Home transmission will be impossible to contain. Can they not go a few weeks of their lives without going to someone else’s house? Is it really that bloody hard?

Just out of interest, to the pilot group, hard wired for contingency. How many have a bugout plan in the event of a breakout strain that turns out to be fatal, vaccinated or not.
That's a pre-planned course of action and the trigger, not what you're going to do on the day when the news breaks.

My survival template for Martian invasion should hold up for this scenario.

Heard a professor from Harvard medical school on radio this morning. Made the most sense of anyone. Simply put he said get the vulnerable vaccinated, those over 60. Then open up. No lockdowns. We are just about at that point now. He also said getting children vaccinated was not a good option as they are at more risk of the vaccine than the virus. But what do we have nsw saying today, get the 12 plus year old kids vaccinated. How many 12 year olds have died worldwide of WuHu flu.

lockdowns cause massive financial and mental harm and delay other treatment for serious disease.

we should get the over 60s vaccinated which could be achieved by the end of August. Then no more lockdowns in any state, no more border closures.

as an aside, as we all knew about the Queensland border closure, apparently a hotel on the border near tweed heads was booked a week ago for 80 police starting today. So yes the border closure was pre planned a week ago, just after all the league families arrived .

2) A death in a person with a laboratory-confirmed positive COVID-19 test and died within (equal to or less than) 28 days of the first positive specimen date. Source
You could die from a heart attack or stroke within those 28 days and it'll still count towards their "Death by Covid" statistics. I do not have the time nor inclination to try to find and go through their published cause-of-death statistics to try to determine any significant differences from previous years for each listed cause of death. You're more than welcome to if you so desire...

Hey Foxster:

From the CDC:

“331 minors under 18 have died with Covid out of 626,000 deaths overall, and 41 minors under 18 have died after receiving the Covid vaccine out of 6,000 deaths overall.”

Kids, look at the 0 to 9 year old group. 12 year olds, I suspect most of those under 18 would be nearer 18. There are also complications associated with vaccines.

https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2...CFR-by-age.png

Interestingly, the age distribution of mortality by COVID-19 (the distribution of the proportion of deaths per age group among all deaths), is similar between Italy, Japan, and Spain, even though the number of deaths are quite different among them23,24,25 (Fig. 1). The reported number of deaths was 3 in 0–9 years old (yo), 0 in 10–19 yo, 11 in 20–29 yo, 58 in 30–39 yo, 257 in 40–49 yo, 1,051 in 50–59 yo, 3,107 in 60–69 yo, and 25,038 in 70 + yo in Italy as of May 13, 2020. In Japan, that was 0 in 0–9 yo, 0 in 10–19 yo, 0 in 20–29 yo, 2 in 30–39 yo, 8 in 40–49 yo, 16 in 50–59 yo, 44 in 60–69 yo, and 330 in over 70 + yo as of May 7, 2020. In Spain, that was 2 in age 0–9 yo, 5 in 10–19 yo, 23 in 20–29 yo, 61 in 30–39 yo, 198 in 40–49 yo, 607 in 50–59 yo, 1669 in 60–69 yo, and 16,253 in over 70 + yo as of May 12, 2020.

but I think I have misquoted him. Or got two separate interviews mixed. So ignore the children vaccine bit, apologies.

here is the link to the actual interview.

I believe you might be being a little disingenuous here, saying ‘The UK counts…’. Your source is a Public Health England document, which is not the same as the Office of National Statistics. Your PHE document itself states, as a limitation of its data, that ‘the PHE data series does not report cause of death, and as such represents deaths in people with COVID-19 and not necessarily caused by COVID-19.’ It’s quite open about that. Whereas the ONS data (which I would assume is the official figure) has to have had Covid recorded on the death certificate.

The question was "what is your plan" - not "what is your plan to save the world".
I have no control over border closures, international or domestic.
I am employed and have been throughout the current pandemic - thank you Mark.
I will continue to weather whatever comes my way - because I have no control or influence over it.
And nor do you.

And I'm certainly not waiting expecting you to do anything of any import, other than run off at the mouth.
