Now, hard on the heels of Flucron we have Deltacron which is a new variant combining the Delta and Omicron strains. This one could be very deadly! And much easier to pass on as well. Well better hope you catch omicron because it'll provide some immunity against those other variants. This is why we must allow omicron to spread as it is the least worst of all the alternatives. A little bit of pain now will set Australia up well for when those other variants come along. Won't help Western Australia though.

Personally Matte, I don't want to catch any of the variants! And btw, every couple of days I get a new notification from Service NSW about a covid alert I've been possibly exposed to. So I'm continually monitoring. Fortunately I haven't got any respiratory symptoms although I've felt a bit tired and stressed out! And definitely sick of staying at home.

I don't even check in these days as every location comes up as an alert. Therefore, I have decided I don't need to be told and assume it is everywhere.

Thank you Dominic Perrottet for all you are doing for the people of New South Wales. Dominic Perrottet reveals his plan to get NSW out of Omicron outbreakPremier Dominic Perrottet has declared NSW will emerge stronger from the current Covid outbreak despite its challenges. Here’s how he will get the state back on track.James O'Doherty 11 January 2021 DAILY TELEGRAPH Image of Dominic Pettottet and his family (Image: Australian Christian Lobby)Speaking exclusively to The Daily Telegraph, Premier Dominic Perrottet declared that NSW will emerge “stronger” out of the current outbreak despite “challenges” along the way. It can be revealed that the Premier is looking at an economic support package to cushion the blow of the Omicron outbreak that has sent hundreds of thousands of people into quarantine and seen activity plummet. Speaking after a meeting with chief health officer Kerry Chant and NSW Health deputy secretary Susan Pearce, Mr Perrottet told The Telegraph there was “no alternative” to pushing through the current wave, with the peak projected to occur at the end of this month. “We are in a transition period and that creates inconveniences, challenges, and requires patience and an effort once again,” Mr Perrottet said. “Every single time with every single outbreak, NSW, through the efforts of our people, has managed it and come out of it stronger.” FULL STORY: www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/dominic-perrottet-reveals-his-plan-to-get-nsw-out-of-omicron-outbreak/news-story/df4d8e7f84caee8df47d9ac1c9a15e6c

Happy anniversary!
Today marks two years since Australia recorded its first case of COVID-19 – a man from Wuhan who had flown to Melbourne from Guandong six days earlier.

Well, as expected, I have the sore arm today following yesterday's booster shot. At least I don't have a headache like the first shot last year. 'Er indoors had no adverse effect whatsoever. Got it from one of the State run hubs like last time. Again, all ran very smoothly with no delays getting the shot.

I've had vaccines all my life and I think the only time I had a sore arm was from a tetanus booster.... I have a vague memory of it.

I never felt a thing after having the AstraZeneca. Maybe just a bit tired the next day. And I didn't even feel the needle going in either.

Good article in The Guardian today regarding the figures (NSW) So because the sheer number of vaccinated people is far larger than the number of unvaccinated people, the total number of “breakthrough” cases outnumbers the number of cases among unvaccinated people. This also means that total number of severe outcomes is potentially going to be larger. However, when these numbers are put into context as proportions of the total number of people in the state, the protective effect of vaccines is obvious. When you plot the data as a proportion of cases by age group, you can see that although the risk goes up with age, it also shows vaccinated people of all age groups are less likely to die or require treatment in intensive care if they catch Covid: www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/ng-interactive/2022/jan/28/the-simple-numbers-every-government-should-use-to-fight-anti-vaccine-misinformation

A couple of weeks back they said that 50% of people in hospital with covid were vaccinated. And 50% were unvaccinated.
But the actual figures showed the true position because 93% of the population were vaccinated and only 7% unvaccinated ... but still made up 50% of those patients in hospital! And what's more they had worst symptoms and worse outcomes.

Where are the vaccination injury stats?

I don't know if they've been compiled. However there is a Covid vaccine claims scheme -
COVID-19 vaccine claims scheme
The Australian Government is developing a claims scheme to reimburse people who suffer a moderate to significant impact following an adverse reaction to an approved COVID-19 vaccine.
* anaphylactic reaction
* thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome
* myocarditis
* pericarditis
* capillary leak syndrome
* demyelinating disorders including Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS)
* Thrombocytopenia, including immune Thrombocytopenia, identified as a final diagnosis.
Harm not covered by the scheme includes:
COVID-19
* psychological and psychiatric conditions (e.g. shock)
* secondary injuries (e.g. injury suffered when fainting, or a haematoma at the injection site that becomes infected)
* the following other injuries unless they form part of the symptom complex of a clinical condition listed above: headache; fatigue; injection site reaction; * * muscle or joint pain; dizziness; diarrhoea; pain in extremity; fever; insomnia; nausea; vomiting; lethargy; hyperhidrosis; chills; decreased appetite; * * * * malaise; lymphadenopathy; somnolence; abdominal pain; puritus; urticaria or rash; influenza-like illness; angioedema; anxiety-related reactions such as * hyperventilation and fainting.
Taxpayers are facing a hefty bill for rare but significant coronavirus vaccine injuries, with at least 10,000 people planning to claim under the federal government’s no-fault indemnity scheme.
Services Australia is building an online portal, to be launched next month, for uncapped claims above $5000 from those who suffered injury and loss of income due to their COVID-19 vaccine, with compensation for medical costs and lost wages to be paid by the government.
Shine Lawyers head of medical negligence Clare Eves said the amount of the claims “could be really significant” for people who experienced rare but serious adverse vaccine reactions, such as stroke and inflammation of the heart.
“Adverse events, even though they happen to a tiny proportion of people, for the people it does impact it’s really quite devastating,” Ms Eves said.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration recorded 78,880 adverse events linked to COVID-19 vaccination, representing a small minority (0.21 per cent) of the 37.8 million doses administered to 18.4 million people, by November 7. The vast majority of those 78,000 adverse events were mild side effects, including headache, nausea and sore arms.
More than 10,000 people have registered their interest to make a claim since registration opened on the federal health department’s website in September, official data shows, meaning it would cost at least $50 million if each claim is approved.
Humans are complex creatures - and they all react in different ways to different medications. As a nurse I always had to monitor patients for reactions to the various medications they were taking - and especially to a new med.
In this case I took the vaccine after carefully considering the consequences of not taking it. Although I was not too concerned about my own reaction as I'm fit and healthy, but my concern was how it would affect those I love who had not as yet had the vaccine such as my grandkids and the older members of our family. I would in most probability not had the vaccine except I cannot isolate myself indefinitely from my family and friends. It's because of them I elected to have the vaccine because I wouldn't forgive myself if I passed the virus on to someone vulnerable and they suffered in any way from that infection.

yeah, Australia isn't collecting the stats... I've been getting PM'd by people who has witnessed 3 deaths and other adverse effects from covid vaccines...people too fearful of being banned on social media if they talk about it...
People I personally know have had minor expected problems ie, sore arm and/or headache. Nothing major. Thank goodness.
