That BMJ Effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines ... paper is not a 'preliminary study'. It's an International Committee of Medical Journal Editors peer reviewed case-control study. But, you do you. |

I would also read the limitations section in that study where they say their findings should be treated with caution. The main issue is that the study does not take into account the habits of each individual post vaccination, so whether the vaccine itself is responsible or such things like how the individual isolated.
And do you know where the WHO got the 'efficacy of 63.09% against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection' data from? From AstraZeneca's Stage III trials.

The WHO data also takes into account generalised effectiveness over a number of different cultures, communities and age groups.

Q - LINK FLIGHTS
We all know what a positive torture it is to fly with a cold.
Why would a Flight Attendant subject herself to the agony of numerous air pressure differentials when she has access to Sick Leave. It didn’t sound right to me and inconvenienced a whole heap of passengers, and now, without explanation, this from Qld Health, The following flights are no longer considered to be a contact tracing location and have been removed from the close contacts list: |
No, not really. It draws that 63.09 percent number exclusively and solely from AstraZeneca's Stage III trial findings. |

But you can drive from Ballina back into QLD in a car with QLD plates and no one would be any the wiser. Until you both test positive for Covid that is... |

Hmm, I thought stage III trials found AZ to be 67-77% efficacy, with peaks at 79%.
From memory the US Stage III trial data was better again, likely as much due to the different prevailing conditions. |
You know what else does not take into account the habits of each individual post vaccination, ... or such things like how the individual isolated? Stage III trials. And do you know where the WHO got the 'efficacy of 63.09% against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection' data from? From AstraZeneca's Stage III trials. Our results and those seen in the phase III clinical trials show similarities. Also this study was done on subjects self assessing, phase 3 was subjects were clinically assessed. Misclassification is also likely to be a factor in this study. Symptoms are self-reported and may not be specific to covid-19 without clinician diagnosis. Furthermore, individuals may falsely report symptoms to have a test, which will include asymptomatic individuals in the symptomatic analysis and means that symptom onset dates are incorrect. Failure to exclude those with past infection because of low testing rates in wave 1 is another possibility. The vaccine still does most of what it should, is safe and anyone over 65 should take it ASAP given no other options. From memory the US Stage III trial data was better again, likely as much due to the different prevailing conditions. PS I remember from the trials that there was some controversy over AZ not being trialed on many over 65, probably why this further study was taken. |

He was picked up from Ballina by a Brisbane based Virgin CC and she drove him illegally back over the border. She is now positive. They both need to resign. They knew what they were doing. |

Was it not previously reported that it was QF Link flight attendant? Exposure sites BNE/LRE QF flights? Or unrelated case?
I don’t believe they found the origin of the longreach case. Hopefully Virgin deals with one or both of them pending his employment status. |

The NSW removalists that were at the root cause of Vic locked down AGAIN and have caused BILLIONS of dollars of economic damage are unlikely to face charges. STRAYA- Fk Yeah! https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/vi...035572dbd16143 |
Can someone call the PM just get him to stop talking. I am confused now, I thought getting the population vaccinated would abate the need for lockdowns, Scott Morrison appears to say otherwise.
Vaccines ‘not a substitute for a lockdown’: PM Mr Morrison said vaccines were not the key to greater Sydney coming out of lockdown. That is despite state premiers and health officials repeatedly telling the general public that getting a Covid-19 jab would be an eventual ticket to freedom. “There‘s not an easy way to bring the cases down and it’s the lockdown that does that work,” Mr Morrison said. https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/...1c6b?width=650An empty Pitt Street Mall in Sydney amid lockdown. Picture: Richard Dobson“The vaccines can provide some assistance, but they’re not what is going to end this lockdown. Mr Morrison said he did not want it in “anyone’s mind that it replaces the principle tool, which is the lockdown”. “It’s not a substitute for a lockdown. And you need to weigh up the effectiveness of that with the disruption to the broader vaccine program that could set other states and territories back some way in meeting their vaccination targets,“ he said. “We need to get the whole country vaccinated. Those going through lockdowns, that‘s the principle way by which we’re able to bring the Delta variant under control in those cities.” |
White noise. The state Premiers are deciding when to lockdown regions and borders.
Two jobs, Scotty. |

I think she is the QLink because there been some Qlink flights removed prior to him crossing in to QLD |
This is the story behind the QLink F/A. She is going to have some explaining to her Managers and will be lucky to keep her job.

Why would you fly into Ballina? The fares are generally more expensive!
Surely they would not be attempting to avoid the authorities at Brisbane Airport? := |
My apologies. Newscorpse wrong again. This is what they said. Replace Virgin Flight Attendant with Qantas Flight Attendant and that solves that one.
A NSW who allegedly entered the sunny state, allegedly illegally, has been identified as the source of infection for a Virgin flight attendant who later tested positive for Covid-19. The man flew from Sydney to Ballina on July 14, where he was picked up from Ballina airport in NSW by a Virgin flight attendant. |

The man flew from Sydney to Ballina on July 14, where he was picked up from Ballina airport in NSW by a Virgin flight attendant. “He was then collected from Ballina airport by the flight attendant that we reported positive in Queensland on Friday”. That’s the QLINK F/A. If she knew he was supposed to be in isolation in NSW and knowingly aided him in avoiding police at Brisbane airport then, should she be charged and convicted, that would be the end of her ASIC and flying career. It may explain why she took a week after becoming symptomatic to get tested. She has potentially put at the risk the careers and livelihoods of hundreds of Queensland based colleagues, not to mention the health of all Queenslanders. It’s hard to find much sympathy, assuming of course that things have both transpired as reported and she knew he was supposed to be isolating in Sydney. |
