Coronavirus vaccine news

[IFocus]

A long but good read on vaccine hesitancy and its history, I was put off by it being on a Jewish site.

Why Is There So Much Vaccine Hesitancy?

There has been an unprecedented amount of vaccine hesitancy for COVID vaccines. Learn what we can do to deal with this vaccine skepticism.

Wow! I didn't know Pat Cash had gained qualifications as an immunologist. Awesome.

I'll look forward to any paper he co-authors with this gentleman.

Issue #86: Viruses, Vaccines and COVID-19: recruitment to the lymph nodes

This week in Setting it Straight Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Doherty looks at what is happening in the regional lymph nodes where the virus specific response to COVID-19 develops.

Did you actually even watch that video? Pat had nothing to say except about his own personal experiences and makes no attempt to actually talk about immunology or virology or any of those other -ologies.

It was more of a lament that some such voices are being suppressed.

disability, in relation to a person, means:



(c) the presence in the body of organisms causing disease or illness; or

(d) the presence in the body of organisms capable of causing disease or illness; or

Federal Register of Legislation - Disability Discrimination Act 1992

So this is in legislation. Let the lawsuits begin

But seriously, are businesses protected during a pandemic from the above?

Does it apply to unvaccinated?

Why would I bother? Did having a vaccine put him six feet under or not?

Obviously incorrect as it would seem the "lament" has been posted here for those who wish to view it otherwise it would not be available anywhere.

Perhaps a fate even worse than death

So Sarah is not suffering these symptoms then?

 

[rederob]

It's just like a bad case of the ...


Flu?

 

[IFocus]

So Sarah is not suffering these symptoms then?

No idea what the situation is but I wouldn't take a Twitter post or Virginia Nichols word for what the issue is or the cause of, ever.

 

[moXJO]

So Sarah is not suffering these symptoms then?

It's possible. A small % of people will get side effects. Some will die from vaccines.

Same can be said of panadol. You can get a condition where all the skin burns off you. But low % chance to that risk ( or high if you weigh up that you are just stopping a headache or whatever).
Because of the billions of people being vaccinated we will see what seems like a lot of side effects.

Long term though, no idea.
I think the way they work it is that you normally see negative effects in the first 2 months on average. After that the risk of something going wrong is (apparently) minuscule.

Sounds like Moderna got the nod for the Tullamarine mRNA production facility.

https://www.theguardian.com/austral...facture-mrna-vaccines-under-deal-with-moderna
From the article:
Australia may be manufacturing mRNA vaccines for Covid-19 and other diseases by 2024 under an in-principle agreement struck with pharmaceutical giant Moderna.

Scott Morrison will announce on Tuesday that under the deal a new sovereign vaccine manufacturing facility will be built in Victoria to produce pandemic and non-pandemic respiratory vaccines, including potential flu vaccines.

The long-term “strategic partnership” between the federal government, Victorian government and Moderna will allow 100m mRNA vaccines to be produced in Australia each year in a pandemic, starting in 2024 “pending regulatory and planning approval”.

I wonder if this means "mandatory" yearly vaccines to keep it in use

I think it is more about having a first world production facility, after spending 30 years closing them down and then the Government finding it had to try ebay to get vaccines when it needed them. ?

I'm told that at the moment we have delays on some lifesaving medications. Probably a host of things we need to reinforce.

Yes we will probably have to build a urea plant next door, now China has stopped sending that, so much for globalisation.

Just heard on the news that 2 doses of Astra is virtually ineffective against Omicron.

Wonderful.

Sounds like we need a new vaccine.
Lucky we didn't start paying people to have the vaccine, we would be on the third payment, another brain fart that luckily didn't get oxygen.

I think it protects you from severity but not from catching it.
