CV and mad panic behaviour

Did I stuff up the link, Pauly? Wouldn't be surprised!

Such an important article from 'The Conversation' - the place I now go for truly objective, unbiased and intelligent reporting. Thank you, Pauly.

Yes, the Conversation is a breath of fresh air in the poisonous atmosphere generated by the Oligarch’s minions. 

Meanwhile, John “Brumbies” Barilaro has broken ranks and admitted that NSW should have gone into lockdown much earlier.  He is a loose cannon but I think he’s right in this case; Gladys has opened Pandora’s box ??

Balanced? Maybe maybe not. Yes the latest outbreak resulted from the SA hotel quarantine but the local Vic contact tracers botched one of the first exposure sites by naming the wrong Wollies store. Why wasn't this mentioned in the article. There were other failings in the local systems which we were told were  gold star.

Meanwhile, the COVID-infected father of the superspreader party host still hasn’t been contacted by NSW officials ?

Still, all of the outbreaks stem from returned travellers and hotel quarantine failures.

Aaah, the old yellow card routine, voluntary reporting, a bit like asking a 1970s Sth African if they are racist!

For reference;

Part of our monitoring role includes reviewing reports of suspected side effects. Any member of the public or health professional can submit suspected side effects through the Yellow Card scheme. The nature of Yellow Card reporting means that reported events are not always proven side effects. Some events may have happened anyway, regardless of vaccination. This is particularly the case when millions of people are vaccinated, and especially when most vaccines are being given to the most elderly people and people who have underlying illness.

Where does this definition come from that seems to undermine the validity of the yellow card scheme, ........................ and also undermines your own conclusions, ............................. from the very report you linked! :o

The political side of this bureaucratic bungling is putting everyone at jeopardy.

General practitioners say they have been blindsided by a decision overnight regarding their administration of the AstraZeneca to under-60s. Some doctors say they are so confused by conflicting advice they are unwilling to administer the vaccine to younger cohorts until they receive official guidance.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a new indemnity scheme on Monday night, which will allow GPs to administer the AstraZeneca vaccine to any adult who wants it regardless of their age.

From today, all Australians can walk into their general practices and request an AstraZeneca vaccine.

The bureaucrats are so reactive to political and social opinion, they are disregarding the science and flipping almost weekly.

In hindsight it was never about the science and all to do with blame, but none of us, well most of us, won't be surprised about that!

Then you look at The Hun and other News Ltd rags today, and they are telling millenials why they should not to worry and get the AZ vaccine ASAP.

News Ltd has no face, they've spent many months making spurious suggestions AZ will kill you, now it's being suggested as the ultimate miracle cure which you you get without hesitation.

[member=61]Baggers[/member]  It's exactly as your link suggests, and all about politics!

The rats are fleeing a sinking ship:
Don’t blame me for Sydney cluster, it’s NSW’s problem: PM, AFR.

Facing growing dissatisfaction from premiers about the supply of vaccination stocks, the Prime Minister blamed the NSW government for a failure to enforce mandatory vaccination rules to cover a driver of international aircrew who passed on the virus.

I reckon it’s time to switch the focus to vaccinating the young. The oldies have had their opportunity to be vaccinated. By all means, ensure nursing home residents and staff are vaccinated and ensure frontline workers are as well. But what demographic is most likely to be out and about? Young people.

The original prioritisation of older people took into account that they would be more likely to be severely affected by Covid. But now we need to address transmission rates. It appears that The Delta variant is quite happy using the young as vectors, perhaps unlike previous strains.

But this IS albeit indirectly, the fault of NSW.  Any cab can be hailed for whatever reason of carriage.  Airports and suburbs.  Same as a bus or a tram.  ALL public transport operators must be vaccinated and cleared regardless of state.  We are so farken stupid sometimes, that rule should have been instituted last year.

I think this could be seen coming for weeks now, the argy bargy has all been about plausible deniability.
