QF mandates Vaccine

How is your own personal risk profile of any concern to anyone else?

What is the source of this data?
Facebook. Youtube.Alan Jones. Etc.
Don’t count as Data, let alone “Rock Solid” Data.

Clearly the companies ( the other mob will follow this week ) have the support of the guvmint so you can jump up and down all you like, you won’t change a damn thing. The triumvirate can’t have a meaningful conversation with each other so forget that recall. Looks like walking away from it or just bending over and copping where the sun doesn’t shine. My money is on the second option.

This mandate is only to save money and lost time at work , you’re kidding if your company thinks of you as people .

Qantas wants a logo on their website stating: all our crew is 100% vaccinated.

that is it ! Nothing to do with your health

Tell me what the difference between mandating a vaccine for Covid is vs mandating a vaccine for say yellow fever before you can visit certain countries?

Because entering another country will have conditions stipulated on the visa for entry of non Citizens.

I agree with your sentiment but getting jabbed isn't exactly bending over and copping it.

It's significant protection from severe illness and death.

I will ask a question- do I have to fly with an non C-19 vaxxer??...and what happens if I catch C-19 off them??

"Three times less" is not a mathematically-correct method of describing a quotient. What ratio are you really trying to describe? Are you a pilot? Just wondering.

Yes you do and not that you would know that. You will catch covid whether you are vaccinated or not, the source isn't relevant to your workplace.

But none of that matters, the important thing is that when vaccinated you are far less likely to catch COVID, yes if you are a breakthrough case and catch it after the vaccine you can pass it on. The next important thing is IF you do catch it then you have a VERY high protection against serious illness and an even higher protection against being hospitalised. So what you said is just plain wrong, the more who are vaccinated the harder for Covid to spread amongst the community and even if there is an outbreak if the population is vaccinated enough you will not overwhelm the health system as serious illness will be unlikely. So quite the opposite to your ‘vaccines are for the individual’ the vaccine rollout to a high percentage is the key to EVERYONE moving on with life. But hey you will have the choice, this is going to become a pandemic of the unvaccinated and you will catch COVID at some point, I for one have no interest in drowning in my own fluids so I will take anything on offer that virtually excludes that possibility.

I don’t think the issue is catching covid as such, it’s sitting next to some drongo like yourself that is hell bent on not getting it, because they read something on Google without having the necessary qualifications to actually analyse it properly.

I know that. I was asking old mate a hypothetical question

If the source is the workplace, then it absolutely becomes relevant.

There are some big questions facing employers coming up including their obligations under workplace health and safety legislation.

Given that pilots are exposed to significant numbers of people at work (crew bus, airport terminals, security lines) and are in close proximity to people (cabin crew, general public when paxing, etc), I don’t think it would be unreasonable for an employer to insist on vaccines to ensure that an employee’s risk to severe health complications arising from contracting COVID in the workplace are minimised.

That’s a bit of a middle ground fallacy. There aren’t two sides in the vaccine debate that have equal points of view that need to be listened to, there’s the overwhelming bulk of medical science on one side and dubious quacks and charlatans on the other.

theyre simply going to pivot to “only approved at the behest of government to force vaccines”.
when all you’ve got is a hammer…

We are all going to be infected eventually, there's no way to prevent it, that's a given. If you have not been vaccinated yet then do all you can not to be infected, you have a 1 in 3 chance of longcovid and from personal observation in some cases is worse than the disease, 12 months on we are still living with it.

I think it's brilliant that Qantas led the way as far a big business goes. Fingers crossed this starts a domino effect and all business go down the same path. Too bad if you don't want to get the jab.....no job for you then. Why anybody would not want to get vaccinated is beyond me. I guess it's an indication of the privilege and entitlement seen in society these days. There is literally no argument not to get vaccinated.

I wouldn’t call what we’re doing in Australia “living with it”. It appears the only way we’re going to do that is to maximise vaccination.

You say that we’re all going to get it eventually, but if enough people are vaccinated, the chances of ongoing infection reduces and eventually we could potentially rid of it to the point that it becomes a rare virus.

I think the problem here is your education. Most of us learned about confirmation bias in about year 10.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

I agree with your sentiment but getting jabbed isn't exactly bending over and copping it.

I gave up long ago trying to convince the anti-vax or anti-COVIDvax brigade. You’ll probably find a lot of peace in doing the same. It really is banging your head on a brick wall.

The conversation generally goes like this:
a) Science and experts say vaccine is safe and effective
b) But I googled “vaccines don’t work and are unsafe”, here’s the article that came up, must be true
a) That’s written by a journalist
b) But I found one doctor who agrees with it
a) The large majority (99%) of doctors, biomedical scientists and epidemiologists don’t agree with that one doctor
(this is where the transaction moves up a gear as they proceed towards child state)
b) but they’re taking away my freedoms making me get vaccinated to fly
a) No, they’re giving you a choice which is entirely your freedom to make. The problem is you don’t like the consequences of your choice.
(and now the pièce de résistance)
b) You must be in on it! It’s all a conspiracy. You’re one of the sheeple.

Don’t waste your breath. Nothing is more exhausting than trying to fill a cup that’s already full. That effort is better expended on grounding our children (and generations beyond) in science, and medicine.

And that's what we're doing are we not, we are along way short of "vaccinated" yet.

I always get a chuckle when some idiot makes a wild claim and declares the burden of proof for his drivel lays with others.

With the Australian and New Zealand borders still closed for all intents and purposes, many 'down under' have yet to appreciate that the rest of the world is now realising that not getting vaccinated is now proving to be more of an attack on your liberty. I took the vaccine solely to enable me to travel abroad more freely in my own time.
