Vaccinating 80% of Australia in 8 months means 170,000 injections per day every day; 4 times the average daily number Covid tests (Apr-Dec). Our health system will struggle to vaccinate while fighting outbreaks unless quarantine flaws are strengthened before March.

The number of injections per day reduces significantly if you assume a) children aren’t vaccinated in the first 8 months and b) the single shot Novavax vaccine is extensively used for the second half of the period.

The government has prioritised the most vulnerable first, assuming of course its incompetence in terms of sourcing doesn’t derail a March start. It’s quite possible to ring-fence those likely to need intensive support.There is far too much anxiety inducing commentary on Covid

vaccines don't ringfence until it reaches herd immunity because vaccines dont (yet) stop symptom fess infection and transmission by vaccinated persons). Herd immunity for COVID is yet undetermined but assumed to be greater than 80%.

I will remind you that experimenting on a human population without their full knowledge and consent of what they're entering into is a breach of the Nuremberg Code. People are being led to believe this is just a normal vaccine and it is nothing of the kind, it's experimental.

Adverse reactions to vaccines will create more strain on hospitals than COVID-19 itself.

Aren’t you a clever cookie. Useful idiots can be found everywhere. How much does WHO pay you? Or should I say Bill and Melinda?

I’m not an anti-vaxer but with the rapid development of these vaccines, how do we know they are going to turn out to be another thalidomide disaster ? I have a mate in the uk who has spent his life dealing with the consequences of his mother taking that wonder drug ....
