I agree. Joke of a process and joke of a decision. His supposed views on vaccination have been known for at least 12 months - they have had negligible impact, given that he has effectively said nothing on the issue, and given that the Australian population is around 92-95% double vaccinated. Yep, he's a real influencer, that Novak.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Macca37 - 01-16-2022

No doubt healthy Australians take comfort from the fact that between 92 and 95 % of the population are double vaccinated. 

However, people who suddenly develop life threatening illnesses requiring immediate hospitalisation but who cannot receive it because the wards are filled with non vaccinated covid patients from the remaining 5 to 8%,  most surely would not take a benign  view of the current situation.

I read on the weekend of the dilemma facing a surgeon who had to move an extremely ill cancer patient from an icu ward to make way for a non vaccinated covid patient.

In the real world small percentages can mean the difference between life and death.

I found out last week I have a relative in this very situation, found out he requires bypass surgery but because of the expected COVID surge they are delaying, they do not want him in the Alfred ICU with the risk of COVID and staff shortages, so they put him on some pretty harsh medication and are monitoring him at home in the interim, they think he will stay in that situation for at least 2 weeks until they are confident to proceed. As a 60 year old it's very serious situation, but as they stated if he gets COVID in recovery the situation is even worse because they have to give him some drugs to suppress his immune system as part of the procedure.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - PaulP - 01-16-2022

A nice bit of political theater. The government gets a temporary respite by keeping their never ending covid stuff ups off the front pages, and they get to show how they are "tough on border security", just in time for an election.

Maybe ScoMo has an autographed copy of Howard's LNP playbook. Look under T for Tampa.

Well said. I confess that this galls me.

Firstly, I acknowledge that there are those who cannot for legitimate medical/health reason have a vaccination. However, there are those who refuse a vaccination based on pure stupidity, ignorance or breathtaking selfishness/arrogance. And these clowns have effectively hijacked our health care system. Fortunately, most Aussies are team players.

This is a 100% true story. A dear friend of mine in Gippsland is an anti-vaxxer. I asked her why recently. She replied that there is a hidden protein in the vaccine which will lead to those who've had the vaccine, dying from the flu in the future. Apparently this protein is designed to eliminate much of humanity. She was almost in tears when I told her I'd had both AZs and will be having the booster. Out of character, I just nodded... didn't challenge her on this view. I decided it would be pointless... like asking 2kgs of cheese to understand electricity - pick your battles. And this is an intelligent woman, an English teacher. Speechless.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 01-16-2022

I have no problem with rabid anti-vaxxers being shut out of Australia. Robert F. Kennedy or Andrew Wakefield can stay where they are, although given their ability to use social media keeping them out is more symbolic than anything. The case for exclusion is even better regarding alt-right activists who want to argue that government vaccination programs are a deep state way of killing the population or taking away their freedoms (and banning GOP politicians from coming to Australia would therefore be appropriate). But Novak as a lightning rod for anti-vaxxers? That's a bit of a stretch.

Anyway, Omicron has certainly created fresh challenges. Personally, I would have been happier if the Victorian Govt had increased restrictions to slow down the rate of infection. But it seems the hope is that Omicron will burn itself out quickly and intervention isn't advisable. I guess we'll only know whether that gamble will pay off in hindsight. At the very least, this hands-off approach certainly makes those who saw the Pandemic Management Act as a power play by the Victorian Govt look a bit silly. 

In the meantime, the hospitalisation numbers have ballooned from about 300 a few weeks back to 1229. And they're steadily rising.
