But if someone thinks they have the right to endanger everyone else, their claim to individual freedom is BS. In a decent society, people should be willing to rally together for the common good. If they won’t, that’s when laws are required.
Yes, I agree.

Gives a pretty good summary IMO. Basically, being super cautious.

Agree with this, when we were in South Australia several months ago their QR codes loaded much quicker and had a lot less bloat than our Vic app

Nature Coronapod - Long COVID
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01603-w
Nice 10min plain language listen, not to much jargon and what jargon they use they explain. No hard data but that is not the point of this podcast, it's basically there to cut through the political, corporate and social media spin.
There are a lot of other Podcasts on the Nature Podcast page, https://www.nature.com/nature/articles?t...re-podcast

On the current AZ debacle, the bureaucrats are wasting millions of 1st doses, lots of people won't go back for a 2nd dose, why?
Interestingly I had an associate in the related chemical industry tell me this sort of change to the recommendations was coming weeks ago, not because of health issues, but apparently there are big glitches in our vaccine supply and manufacturing chain with huge numbers of doses being wasted, in some cases whole batches counting in the millions have been scraped. She said the bureaucrats were going to manipulate the rules to control demand.
Watch what happens, they'll either tell you that you can have any vaccine as the 2nd dose, or they will change the recommendations yet again! If my associate is correct it's all about the supply chain, the Feds do not want to look like they don't know what they are doing!

People wont go back for a 2nd dose of AstraZ because its dodgy. My wife's relations in Ontario rang for her birthday and said no one wants or trusts the Astraz and only want the Moderna and Pfizer. In fact I think it may have been canned already in Ontario and Calgary plus results using the other vaccines for the 2nd dose have proved more effective than the AstraZ. Governments around the world should stop using it and admit the public don't trust this vaccine and no amount of spin from celebs in ads or Government officials is going to sway perception. You won't get a decent take up until people are offered a choice.

Pot meet kettle.
Tin foil hat theory.
It lives in the same area as the pandemic is a control mechanism and doesn't actually exist.

Sure they did and each time they do they lose more public trust.
Communist China sounds more your cup of tea mav.

Or maybe life under Dictator Boris would be better. Imagine, 4 months of restrictions ...
But surely everyone saw what was hiding in plain sight with that name. Those Russians have taken over the Tory party in the UK just as they took over the GOP in the US! God those commies are sneaky! But I guess we can’t believe our lyin eyes as your brother says that this is all fake news.
Now Gladys has been dragged kicking and screaming into a mask mandate and maybe more to come. But then again her surname sounds like it would have fitted into the former Soviet bloc, so maybe this was always about a commie infiltration.
Love you hard right types. Your freedoms trump everyone else’s. You can do whatever you want while others can only do what doesn’t interfere with you or deviate from what you think they should be doing.
