Quote:Danielle Anderson was working in what has become the world’s most notorious laboratory just weeks before the first known cases of COVID-19 emerged in central China. Yet, the Victorian virologist still wonders what she missed.

Quote:Rahm, the defending champion and current world number three, seemed poised for victory in Dublin.

He had produced a commanding performance that included a hole-in-one to complete his second round and an 8-under-par 64 to tie two tournament records.

Quote:He was the first positive asymptomatic case as part of the Tour's contact-tracing protocols.

It was a shocking turn of events for Rahm given the timing.

He was close to perfect on the back nine, running off six birdies in an eight-hole stretch to turn a one-shot lead into a six-shot cushion.

Rahm tied the Memorial record for largest 54-hole lead set by Tiger Woods in 2000.

Quote:In the window of a vintage shop in the Sydney suburb of Annandale, a sign expresses the frustration of many Australians with their country's pandemic strategy.
"Dear Customers, We will be closed for the foreseeable future because Scott Morrison is a useless dickhead who only ordered enough vaccine to vaccinate 4% of the population 18 months into a pandemic," reads the sign, shared on Twitter, in reference to the Australian Prime Minister.

I think this is where the majority of people (including myself) struggle with the whole covid situation.

This is the official government page, that shows each vaccine and the doses purchased / manufactured / secured for each one.

This article has been overtaken by events (vaccine availability) and was published well before the WHO investigation but it does give a good account of the likely origins of COVID-19:

There are very few organisations that I trust less than the Oligarch's media empire.  The CCP is one of them, but it's a close-run race.

I don't know of anyone who's been turned away from receiving a jab and 25 million doses were ordered in April and May 2021.  So who is this Annandale dickhead?

Quote:“I’ve now had three sources telling me the same story, including from the United States, of what happened with Pfizer last June,” Swan told ABC Radio Melbourne host, Rafael Epstein, earlier this month.

“And if these three separate sources are right, what happened with Pfizer last June is that they wanted to make Australia an example to the world about how to roll it out, a bit like Israel or other places, and they said, ‘How much do you want and when do you want it?’

As we reported in January, Israel implemented a world-leading Covid-19 vaccine roll-out, with preferential vaccine access from Pfizer playing an indispensable role. Being a small country with a modern health system, Israel was offered first access to the vaccine in exchange for real-world data on safety and efficacy in a population-wide roll-out via its health system’s vaccine surveillance programs.

According to Swan, “On 10 July [2020], there was a meeting, and what I’m told happened at that meeting is that there was an inexperienced person there with procurement. They were pretty rude, and they said, ‘Oh, well, you’re going to have to give us all your IP,’  which is an amazing thing to have said, and then started nickel-and-diming on the cost.

“Essentially, the conversation stopped, and then they came back in November, the Commonwealth and only got 10 million doses. They should have got 40 million so that it was a true back-up.”

If Swan’s sources are correct, the Commonwealth’s blunder on the vaccine is responsible for the ongoing lock-downs and border restrictions Australians are having to live with. While Australians are still struggling to get an appointment to be vaccinated, Israeli doctors have been calling people to offer them the vaccine since late February.

By late March, 60% of Israelis had already received their first shot, which is about as many people as wanted to be vaccinated at all.
