CV and mad panic behaviour

Aren't the US armed services the biggest employer in the country?

Yep, John Fogarty went mental when Trump played Fortunate Son at his rallies given that it was written about guys like Trump!

Very sad that has happened, but it's 3/5,000,000 AZ doses, Covid-19 would be thousands of times worse.

I guess that woman will never know her chances and lucked out.
I'm not sure what the medical/anatomy difference is between a 59 year old qualifying for Pfizer and a 61 year being refused?
Being told to go to your Doctor for advice, being recommended by your Dr to have the Pfizer then rocking up to to a vaccination clinic to be told you dont qualify under the very inadequate and small guidelines and being told you have to have the Astraz regardless of your GP's recommendations. Not sure how the Government expect to reach vaccination targets or gain the trust of the 60 plus age groups to be vaccinated when GPs advice is ignored.
If that woman who died had qualified for the Pfizer she might still be alive......she just got unlucky being born 2 years too early.
How can a Government make that call without a margin of safety in terms of years...

I'd love to see what the "review" on the deaths of  the other 352 people entailed.

A phone call, a quick text?

Appears a remarkable coincidence....

Since the beginning of the vaccine rollout to 4 July 2021, over 8.2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been given. The TGA has received and reviewed 355 reports of deaths in people who have recently been vaccinated and found that only three were linked to immunisation.

Meanwhile, if you doubt the COVID-flu comparison, here's some data:

COVID is very, very much an old person's disease (indeed, arguably, albeit sadly, a nursing home disease) - look at the age of death against the average!

There are 76 AZ thrombosis cases of varying degree, there are exactly 38 Pfizer cases of Myocarditis (Heart Inflammation), about the same number of people are in ICU for both vaccines.

Nobody can argue that Pfizer as the flipside of AZ is greatly better without doing it from some point of ignorance, be it wilful or accidental ignorance.

There was a reason they banned that Publican from giving away drinks with vaccinations, because if they gave away alcohol with vaccinations the statistics suggest far more people would die from an alcohol related incident than from the potential vaccine side-effects. The Publican's heart was in the right place, but he didn't understand the risks. This is a prime example of where people's "common sense" fails and the math just rolls brutally on oblivious to our feelings, our thoughts or our best intentions.

Anyway, some of you might get your wish regarding lockdowns and the experiment of a free running Delta variant, it looks like the NSW Politicians are losing their will and are about to pull the lockdown plug. They've had 40 more cases overnight, and today NSW have sent out the lockdown compliance police, but the backroom guff is the resolve of the backbenchers is failing and Gladys is close to folding.

Yep, pride goeth before a fall. From “We don’t do lockdowns” to “Ok, we’ll do a half-arsed lockdown” to “Oops, we should have done it sooner and the cat’s out of the bag now”.

Scotty from Marketing is also copping a whack in the media. When Victoria locked down, he was none too impressed and resisted giving a benefit to Melburnians who were out of work and when he did provide one he made it clear that it would be payable only after savings were exhausted. But he was straight on the front foot when NSW locked down, declaring it won’t be asset-tested for Sydneysiders. Some are calling him the PM of NSW.
