All borders to reopen.
It was also reported the original cases in Brisbane Dr and Nurse had not been vaccinated. It’s been discovered QLD and other states including NSW have been with holding up to 40% of doses on the shelf incase of short fall for the second jab even after the federal gov have assured them of enough supply now. States are responsible for this Australia is an embarrassment after seeing the statistics of the UK and USA
and something I have been saying for a while now about the vaccines themselves.
Two-thirds of global disease experts believe coronavirus variants will make vaccines ineffective within ONE YEAR
- Surveyors interviewed 77 epidemiologists, virologists and infectious disease specialists about coronavirus vaccines
- A total of 66.2% said they believe that within one year, mutations of the virus will render vaccines ineffective
- Of that group, 18.2% said they believed it would occur within six months and 32.5% said within nine months
- Another 18.2% said vaccines would be ineffective within two years while 7.8% said they believed mutations would never cause vaccines to become ineffective

It’s been nearly 6 months since anyone has died from an acute COVID infection in Australia. We are well and truly beyond worrying about deaths, zero cases is the only acceptable COVID status. Which is why borders will not reopen until the vaccines prevent infection.
That's incorrect https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7013e3.htm
The lock down in Brisbane won’t end on Thursday ( my thoughts).
We can survive even if we don't achieve zero COVID cases, we can survive if vaccines aren't 100% effective. We just need to get to a point where CHOs are confident hospital systems won't be overloaded leading to preventable deaths. (WA isn't in good shape in this regard apparently, hence hard border stance) So give me a few hotspots, most of the population vaccinated with a >70% effective vaccine and let's get on with living. It's all hypothetical unless the government accelerates the vaccination program such that the vaccines remain effective in light of a mutating virus. Otherwise it will be an endless game of catch up.

Looks like Dr Dre science.
If you’re fat, or a smoker, an old fart or all three then you’re fu*#ed.
Love the fact you use a Newscorp journalist reporting on a scientific study omitting to mention the sample size as a basis for discrediting the study. Quite an achievement.
The study size was 78 patients, of which 9 had been hospitalised. The average age in the study group was 47 years of age. 37 of the 78 had no comorbidities, and at the time of presentation 3 of the 78 were classed as obese.
There were a range of measurements taken to assess the impact across various organ systems, with a substantial proportion of people experiencing ongoing problems across a range of organs, including some with cognitive impairment or ongoing loss of smell, indicating some sort of nerve damage. The authors acknowledged that their study is limited in its ability to generalise across a broader population, as their sample was largely drawn from a highly educated, wealthier predominantly white population with lower rates of chronic co-morbidity - ie the results found in the study are actually likely to be better than those found in a poorer, sicker group with worse healthcare or the general population.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a more recent or different paper, as the journalist keeps referring to an 8 month timeframe, that would be appreciated.
