All borders to reopen.

Thread drift I know. I’m watching the opening of the World’s most expensive farce ( only because my darling wife wants to)..
I have seen athletes with no masks, ones with the mask below the nose, people sharing holding the flag .
We have a super spread event all in the name of $$$$$

If anyone thinks there is any appetite in WA to open up.. they are on drugs. There is no way McGowan would let that happen. Most of us in WA are happy to do short lock downs when required .. comply with mask wearing and generally follow the rules. The rest of the time.. as long as we stay in the State, we can live almost normally ( for the moment).

I'd be happy if pfizer was readily available. Young people have sacrificed enough in this pandemic to be risking blood clots because the PM ****** up.
The ATAGI, who don't approve anything, have stated that the Pfizier in the preferred vaccine for people under 60.
Note the difference in the words "preferred" and "approved"
So how do you reconcile the above with your statement regarding the PM who reiterated what is "approved"

ATAGI is the advisory group, the TGA is the regulator. Astrazeneca is legally able to be administered to anyone over the age of 18. Pfizer has just been approved for those over the age of 12. A false equivalency has emerged between what is advised and what is regulated. Technically doctors can inoculate those above the minimum age, but of course there's a priority for those who would most likely succumb to the disease should they get infected in among a very limited amount of vaccine.
The issue lies with the messaging and the very low risk of blood clots. The media rhetoric when the clotting issues first came into light was effectively that of you take it, death is a certainty. That reckless scaremongering combined with Government's non-existent campaign to take the jab has helped create the catastrophic situation the country is in at the moment.
At least the media's message is now changing to one which emphasises to take any vaccine offered, but make sure you take the due diligence with your health care provider before you get the jab. But some fear the damage is already done and we just have to sit tight until Pfizer supplies increase towards the end of what is increasingly looking like a long winter.
Message from the Government? Crickets.

Here in the UK the AZ data shows that the vaccine is of a magnitudes safer than the Contraceptive Pill in causing blood clots.
Seeing all the negativity in Oz over AZ, has the Pill been banned yet?

so the assumption is that this more infectious variant will be out of control with the current lockdown?

my wife refused to use it after she read the data..I had to get a vasectomy
needless to say..she ain’t going near this vaccine
blood clot risk below 50 years increases considerably. My age group is 1 in 30000 and I'm sure CASA would have a field day. I don't live in Sydney so there's no rush for me. By all means those in Sydney should go out and get AZ, because of Gladys and Scotty from Marketing put politics before the experts.
None of the reluctant vaxers have answered my question as to whether they've lost their livelihoods in aviation due COVID.
So can I ask the following?
- Would you expect and take a government handout as an aviation worker whilst preaching a reluctant vaccination stance?
- Will you accept the opening of borders despite you and I take it your family, not being vaccinated?

It just shows there are people out there that think all of this is a scam & should be ignored.

Posting with a throwaway account to avoid doxxing me or my family.
Close family works in pathology. The number of weird blood issues they are seeing post-AZ is rising. Like really weird - zero platelets, ruptured spleens, stuff like that. All statistically out of the ordinary. Not causing deaths so not making the news, but just odd. It isn’t just about the deaths.
Number of issues post Pfizer? Zero.
My family is almost fully vaxxed, but people are reluctant on AZ for a reason. It’s not because that are stupid or didn’t do maths at school

I am officially embarrassed to be Australian. I watched the NSW Premier declare a national emergency, and asked for vaccines to be sent to NSW from the other states supplies. McGowan et al said "No way Jose'"(he didn't use those exact words) ," we are keeping our supplies". Shame Shame Shame. Aussies are in need. Bloody send the vaccines to NSW FFS. And yet we are supposed to be patriotic of the Olympics, One Nation - yeah right. Embarrassing.
