Wonderful news. The Omicron variant is highly transmissible, but only makes people mildly sick.
No need for a booster.

Clearly this has become the anti-vaxxer board of “my body my choice” refuseniks. I’ll take my medical advice from my GP and also from the Department of Health at www.health.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/covid-19-vaccines/getting-your-vaccination/booster-dosesJust as you have the “choice” to refuse a public health measure that protects everyone, the public whom you refuse to help protect will have not just the choice, not just the right but the duty to exclude you from services such as public transport, public education etc etc that you would otherwise have participated in. Your choices, your consequences. |

I thought social distancing, washing hands and masks worked.... that is what they harped on about last year... unless you keep doing that alongside your virtually ineffectual vaccine your vaccine won't work... This year saw hundreds of Doctors and nurses die in Indonesia and India and they were vaccinated. The safest place on earth is WA....because our boarders are heavily controlled. Now I am sure you appreciate that. |

Your choices, your consequences. The video I shared is of a highly respected professor. He isn't anti-vax. But you only want to hear from people like Dr. Norman Swan, who hasn't practiced medicine for decades. Dr. John Campbell deals with facts only. Both good and bad. The news isn't all bad on COVID-19. He is interviewed on mainstream media all the time, e.g. |

Dr Swan is old fashioned and those types never learn new things.

The media complains of boards such as Doximity a forum home to 1.8 million members that is composed exclusively of physicians--most of which are disapproving of this vaccine. It's possible, if not highly likely that you are hearing only one side of this debate, pim. They call that: "propaganda ". |

I found it, I'm not joining it. Bastard Factory is more appealing due to a better slant on the real news from the USA. Bastard Factory is mainly open. You should check it out. It has Canadians, UK, Aussies, Yanks... just don't visit the rubbish sections. Politics and the General section is good. |

Ballarat protesters evoke famous moment when Eureka rebels demanded you do your own research on Google www.theshovel.com.au/2021/12/07/ballarat-protesters-eureka-google-youtube/Anti-vaccination protesters have descended on the Victorian town of Ballarat, the site of the famous 1854 uprising when gold miners shared YouTube videos warning of the hidden dangers of mRNA vaccines that doctors don’t want you to know about. Holding an array of signs and chanting ‘my body, my choice’, the crowd re-enacted the time Peter Lalor referred to a thread he had read on 4chan that proved the Victorian Government was run by a cabal of Satan-worshipping paedophiles funded by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. “Do your own research on Google,” and “You don’t know the truth until you’ve watched this very specific dash-cam YouTube video”, they chanted, evoking the moment when the Eureka rebels explained to authorities the dangers of 5G and microchips that they’d read about on Facebook. One member of the crowd shouted that he wouldn’t be voting for Dan Andrews at the next election, a reminder of the times the Ballarat miners weighed up who they would vote for at the regular democratic elections of the time.

What? People are still allowed an opinion regarding Covid? They better put a stop to that real quick. All of this independent thought is putting the societal hive mind at risk! 😎 High Lord Science,(yes, Fauci claims that he is science incarnate.) does not approve.  |

You have your issues. We have ours … Scott Morrison responds to Omicron variant by promising to build a quarantine facility in 2060 The Prime Minister has confirmed Australia will receive a state-of-the-art, purpose-built quarantine facility to deal with the new Omicron variant, expected to be in place around thirty-five years after the variant ceases to exist. Mr Morrison said he had ordered a three-year review into the feasibility of the facility, after which he would sign a deal with France to build it, before secretly organising a separate deal with the United States. “There’s still a bit of planning to do, and one or two international relationships to burn before we get everything up and running, so 2060 is an indicative date. But of course it could be longer than that, pending future negotiations,” he said. The PM said the new quarantine facility would provide certainty for Australian businesses. “What this announcement today does is two things. One, it gives us hope that we’ll be able to defeat this new strain four decades after it peters out on its own accord. And two, it gives me something to talk about to distract from everything else that’s going on right now,” he said. Some within the government have recommended using Australia’s new submarines as quarantine facilities when they roll off the production line in 2040, although experts say the subs are unlikely to be ready in time. |

I’ve just finished reading today’s Fin Review - hard copy. Airlines are tightening their stance against people like Mad Matt who take it into their heads to be stroppy and “difficult”/abusive passengers when it comes to complying with health regulations regarding passengers. You’re getting “incidents” it seems in which a passenger decides to be a fuckwit - Mad Matt style - and refuses to wear a mask despite being politely requested by cabin crew to wear one, or decides that he is being denied his “rights” when he’s prevented from boarding a flight because he can’t show, or refuses to show, a vaccination certificate. Apparently you can expect a flight with an unruly passenger to be diverted to the nearest airport and for that person to be billed for the full cost of the diversion. There goes your house and retirement income as you experience financial ruin. You’ll get no sympathy from me and millions like me. Matt you’re a fringe dwelling extremist with a keyboard and an internet account. Nothing more.
