1/3 National Cabinet targets of 70% & 80% (16 years +) vaccination thresholds equate to 56% and 64% of total population vaccinated. Australia must do better than these vaccination rates because.....

2/3 I calculated we need 68%min & preferably 80% of total pop to be vaccinated. Grattan Institute recommends "fully vaccinating 80% of all Australians, & 95% of the over-70s", to "give us the best chance of gradually returning to normal life – with open borders & no lockdowns".

3/3 NZ is targeting 78% of total population and Singapore is targeting 75% of total population. National Cabinet modelling must to be published for public review & for Australians to understand why Government targets are so low compared to estimated local and overseas targets.

👍 - but rather depressing numbers. So much needs to be done to reach those targets and there's a significant risk that more vaccine resistant strains will emerge in a partially vaccinated global population. sciencealert.com/freedom-day…

I’ve just watched 4 Corners. Thanks for defending Dr Young. We love her in QLD. There are dreadful, self serving people running our country. I could cry thinking about it. Thank God for our Premiers, except for Gold Star Gladys.

A Singaporean epidemiologisty was speaking to ABC the other night & she said Singapore is confident they will have well over 80% fully vaccinated. They wil probably get there next couple of months. I suspect AU govt wants to open up ASAP even if it means sacrificing public health

Classic unscientific rubbish that #ScottyFromMarketing spews forth not supported by the evidence. So important that the scientific evidence remains on the front page.

Massachusetts has 69% vaccination rate. Tourists flocked to Barnstable for a fair or some such. 400+ became infected. 5 hospitalized (4 vaxxed) 74% infected vaxxed. 79% of those symptomatic. Same viral load vax / no vax. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/m…
