QF mandates Vaccine
BTW Coles was going to force workers to man non local shops that had been closed due to covid while cleaning and isolation took place, so they would be rostered to work in a shop in another suburb, that was at high risk of covid infection at their own costs to prevent stores being closed. That's how much they care for their staff, Union shut it down.
I know someone who works at Clink and I asked them this a few months ago, at the time the policy would be it was abandonment of the job. If you were to appeal it they would revoke that decision because its easier and less of a waste of time just to pay you out straight. That was their policy around august when the first mandatory vacinations were just starting to come in

7.4 billion vaccines have now been administered worldwide. It’s time for those that refuse to be vaccinated make way for pilots wanting a job with Qantas. You can argue all you like until you’re blue in the face but it ain’t going to change Qantas’s position one iota and nor should it. For those sorry souls that refuse to be vaccinated based on some ignorant ill founded ideology, you’ve been cornered into a position that has only two outcomes. Get vaccinated or get out. The vast majority of staff in Qantas support the policy. Every challenge regardless of employer has not been upheld in court.
Former Qantas Captains grandstanding in the media spreading fictitious rubbish need to go away and retire gracefully. Others need to get over yourselves and stop believing you know better when you clearly don’t. If you want to foolishly relinquish your job to someone else I’m sure they’ll thank you for it and take your paycheque without a second thought.

So D-Day has finally arrived….
What’s telling is the number of pilots who were thumping their chest throughout this whole process, banging on about their rights being trampled on, coercion is not consent, etc etc. Yet almost none of those then had the courage of their convictions to go through with what they were saying, and instead quietly went off and got vaccinated. Yet their extreme hubris will mean there will be no reflection on the garbage they were spruiking regarding the vaccine. I hope these people are treated with the contempt they deserve.
Does anyone have final numbers on those that will not comply with the policy at QF / VA? I am tipping less than 1%.

Study finds no difference in viral loads between vaccinated and unvaccinated; symptomatic and asymptomatic

Some quotes from your article:
“The COVID-19 vaccines provide excellent protection against infection, severe illness, hospitalization and death, but breakthrough cases among vaccinated individuals do occur.”
”Coil cautioned that a higher viral load doesn’t necessarily equate directly to transmissibility. And research done elsewhere has indicated that the viral load in vaccinated individuals may drop much more quickly than in unvaccinated individuals.”
”Not addressed in the data is the fact that vaccinated individuals are highly protected against even getting the virus to begin with.”
So your point is what, exactly?
You could actually read the study.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...1.full.pdfOver 20% of positive, vaccinated individuals had low Ct-values (<20), a third of which were asymptomatic when tested. This highlights the need for additional studies of the immunological status of such vaccine escapes and how infectious they are. If such individuals carry high loads of active virus, asymptomatic vaccinated individuals may increasingly contribute to the ongoing pandemic as the proportion of vaccinated individuals grows.

Why make assumptions that make you look stupid.
Firstly it's not a matter of "as the proportion of vaccinated individuals grows" as in Australia we are above 80% fully vaxxed in the main population areas. It's no longer a guessing game needing studies of how the virus 'might act', the actual data is flowing in and the actual data proves the vaccine reduces not only severity, death rate and hospitalisations, but also reduces spread significantly. Actual data from the US and UK suggest that spread is curbed in vaccinated populations by as much as 80% - 90%. The vast majority of spread in those countries is non-vaccinated populations, which given the low cohort numbers of these shows how virulent Covid is without vaccination.
Studying viral loads and such is a predictive measure, we are now at the stage where we can observe. And the observations are stark and clear cut.

Jesus you sound like an angry man.
I’m just forwarding information from a major study by a top university that’s just been published saying vaccinated people still have high viral loads and can still spread Covid when asymptomatic.
that’s it

Not angry at all, you are just cherry picking information to suit your own agenda, not realising that it has nothing to do with your agenda. And BTW as the previous poster said it does not confirm anything about the viral loads meaning you are contagious or not, vaccinated or not. You are joining two dots that don't add up, therefore making yourself look stupid, hence my comment.
The study is not wrong, your assumption is wrong.
You are trying to push that the study is somehow saying that vaccinated cohorts spread the virus in the same way unvaccinated does, which is completely false. When actual data suggests that it slows transmission significantly up to 80-90%. If you are going down the path that somehow we missed that vaccinated people can spread the virus, well 'duh' there's obviously 10-20% of cases that do, hence it doesn't stop the virus 100%.

No agenda, no point?
Riiiggghhhttt..........
That's one hell of a reverse gear you've got there,backtracking on what you were clearly pushing.
Mmmm… I’ve made no assumption or stated an agenda.
The assumption that I posted was the assumption from the study. If you think you know better than them, then take it up with the University of California, David.

Secondly you reiterated these points;

BTW an actual link to the report would be nice, your link does not show the actual piece and the only recent study reference to Viral loading I could find was one on effective testing for covid transmissibility.
Firstly as stated above, you emboldened and increased the type face when introducing the subject. This indicates you highly regard this information as important to you.
Secondly you reiterated these points;
Both of which allude to your agenda being that vaccination somehow does not protect the individual from spreading the virus, which is untrue, it does, just not in 100% or cases. Which is well known so for you to be spruiking this information with the vigor you show indicates you somehow think this information is new and important. This is well know information, no vaccine is 100% effective, the viral load means very litte.
