Have you presented your evidence to your local medical authorities Aussie Bob? You seem sure that they’ve made obvious mistakes, that you know what the problem is. Have you gone and told them?

Sorry to reply again but just noticed this gem.

Maybe you need more time to research your own questions Bob, and work out how stupid you really are 🤦♂️

And as you are the author OF that incredibly stupd message, taking aim is entirely appropriate.

I'd take heed of these folk rather than anything Aussie Bob has to say.
Covid-19 patients from Sydney's Concord hospital have shared their experience of the Delta variant's symptoms and pleaded for Sydneysiders to get vaccinated. Lung specialist Lucy Morgan shared the stories of 50-year-old construction worker Fawaz, 30-year-old pharmacy worker Ramona and 35-year-old tradie Osama in a video from Sydney Local Health District. Fawaz and Osama infected family members who have also been hospitalised, while single mother Ramona says she has been unable to see her children for weeks

At the risk of 'flogging a dead horse'.....
Had my 'booster' yesterday. Previous two jabs were 'AZ'. This one was 'Pfizer'
All good. Nil after-effects. Nothing at all. Just a very small 'bruise' where the skin was punctured.
Mentally....'I Feel Better Now'......Although we are yet to feel the full effect in 'The West'.
We will see what Feb 5th (?) brings.

I had completed the 2 Astra-Zeneca shots, and then had a Pfizer booster after 4 months, but apparently I had already been infected the previous day. The symptoms were very mild, a little headachy and just fatigued, lasted for about 10 days. It felt like side effects from the booster, but was the actual disease.
Get the shots. Don't believe idiot fat slugs like Palmer and Christensen, who have their own political agenda to push.

What are Clive's political agendas regarding the vaccines, Charlie? What are George's agendas? Anything you can put your finger on? Sounds a little conspiratorial.
Speaking of Clive and George, they should probably strongly consider the shot as they appear quite overweight. Just my opinion.
They sell you something which you didn't really need and which doesn't do what it's supposed to. Then when everyone finds out it doesn't work they tell you you have to buy it again (and again). Then, they blame the failure of it on the people who didn't buy it. Then they tell you if you don't buy it (even if it doesn't work) you can't go to work or to the pub. Then they get really angry at anyone who asks why it doesn't work and prevent them speaking about it by "cancelling" them. I think Aussie Bob has a point. Have the vac or don't have it, but don't judge others for their choices. Did you judge them on their choice re the flu shot?
As for how society treats it's old and infirm, this line has been trotted out a bit lately but long before covid-19 we already had an abysmal record on this: nursing home scandals, old people being ripped off, abused, not given proper care. Indifferent and absent relatives. Offspring more interested in inheritance than caring for their folks. Robberies and beatings of vulnerable old people in home-invasions, rapes even. The "pandemic" treatment saw even worse with old folks in homes deprived of visits by loved ones, isolated from their only friends in the homes, denied human touch by the people in spacesuits "caring" for them, denied decent funerals, you get the idea. That line doesn't really work.

For a little while until it wears off.
As to the political motivations of Clive Palmer, being able to split off an angry set of both left and right leaning voters, and then direct preferences as best suits his political goals or be a kingmaker holding a couple of seats in a closely balanced parliament, is a fairly obvious one, and getting $2.91 for every first preference vote received is also a decent incentive for most political parties, although probably less so for one being bankrolled by someone of Palmer's wealth. George Christensen is retiring at the next election to start up his "pro-freedom news website" and youtube channel, so again he has a keen financial interest in keeping a high profile and keep the views and clicks coming in.

That is the latest from NSW health, quite definitive data, for those that don't want to bother reading the statistics are as follows;
If you contract covid;
1. You are 9 times more likely to be hospitalised if unvaccinated. (the hospitalisation rate of unvaccinated was almost 10% of cases)
2. You are 15 times more likely to end up in ICU if unvaccinated.
3. You are at least 30 times more likely to die if unvaccinated.
That is including current strains and so on, so yes the vaccines are still very effective and yes the majority of deaths are still in the 70+ bracket with surprisingly still many unvaccinated dying.

Omicron is a variant. More contagious but less lethal, I believe. Most of the vaccinated elderly deaths at the moment are waning AstraZeneca vaccines who have not been boosted, contracting Delta which is more lethal (delta is still around) But what if…..and we’re all pilots here very much engaged in the ‘what if’ line of thinking……what if the next variant is more lethal to say children. Will that change the antivaxers logic. The only way to avoid mutations is to beat the virus down and not allow it to spread right throughout the population. More chances for variants to pop up. So get vaccinated, then soldier on and live your life. Oh and pleeeaaassseee spare me the 5G, Bill Gates, Lizard people crap.

Therefore a varient that is more transmissable, but sickens the host without killing them, is going to become dominant- we've seen this with Dela and now Omicron.
It's probably in the sweet-spot where it speads like wildfire while keeping hosts alive- HOPEFULLY it's the peak varient.

Thank you, Flieger, points noted.
Re the NSW Health doc, leaving the unqualified to interpret raw data is not ideal when people don’t understand the difference between relative and absolute risk.

WRONG. From your document, at 13.5% the no-dose people are only 5.1% more likely to be hospitalised than those with 2 doses (8.4%). Hardly a damning figure.
WRONG. From your document, unvaxed are 1.9% more likely.
Wow! Quite an alarming statistic. Fortunately, that myth is also busted. WRONG again. Your document says unvaxed are 0.2% less likely to die than two-dosed people. If that wild claim was true we’d be seeing hundreds of deaths per day given the admissions we are now seeing on how many deaths were of vaccinated people.
Using that system, if one unvaxed person was infected and died you’d tell everyone they are 100% likely to die of covid if they catch it without a jab. That’s the problem with people playing with stats they don’t understand. You have to be exposed to be infected and this is unrelated to vaccination status except to say that if you lock up all the unvaxed, only the vaxed are left to spread it amongst themselves.
The lack of impartiality of NSW Health toward the interpretation of their stats by the unqualified public is evident in their helpful note on P30:
They don’t want anyone getting the “wrong idea” about an inconvenient stat which doesn’t suit the narrative. By default though they’ve illustrated where the greatest risk is.
Of course the stats above are almost entirely related to Delta and not the current strain so the numbers for the current times will be even more balanced.
Some condensed definitions from your document to help illustrate the misinformation:
People who have bad covid experiences usually have other conditions, which often means hospitalisation. That should be obvious by now.
They are still allowing the unqualified and the wilfully pigheaded to incorrectly presume covid caused each reported death.
On the elderly, the comments on treatment of the aged are confused and aimless. You said anyone unvaccinated isn’t doing the right thing by our aged and should be judged, I said people have already done not-well by our aged and should already have been judged, you attempted to twist things with something bizarre about Soylent Green and eating people and lost the point.
The bottom line is, most people are vaccinated and the case numbers are still going through the roof. Aussie Bob pointed this out and everyone jumped on him.
Just get vaxed.
