Vaccinate or not

I was a little shocked at Alan Joyce (CEO Qantas) announcement that international travelers will be required to have a covid 19 vaccination in order to travel on Qantas flights . The government wanted to have mandatory vaccination but after the bumbling of its release ( it was painful to watch the delivery of that announcement ) they withdrew the mandatory part but it seems Qantas and other business may demand a vaccination in order to use their services. I’m not anti vaccine by any means I just don’t trust this government or a vaccine that has been rushed through. A jab followed by another jab followed by yearly jabs doesn’t sit well with me as I have never had a flu shot or the flu for more than 20 years. Plus I don’t want to give this shot to my healthy 4 year old daughter. She is up to date with all her vaccinations but this covid vaccine is new and not being around for decades like the others. Tuberculosis remains the number one as far diseases go and you don’t need proof of vaccination to travel so what is going on ?

Could there be a more perfect display of the authoritarianism creeping into Australia than this? There’s a fella standing on his own with his arms crossed in the middle of an open area. He is social distancing, he would be standing in the same area as part of his job every other day of the week without problem even under ridiculous and convoluted lockdown emergency powers.

So his only “crime” is not wearing a face mask ( despite outdoor masks having zero scientific justification particularly if social distancing) and yet here is a full Urban Soldier pointing a gun with finger on the trigger as though he’s attacking a wave of armed enemy combatants and screaming orders.

The Pig Cop doesn’t have a face mask on either. There is literally no difference in the virus threat from the bloke standing in the street and the pig cop.

This has nothing to do with public health. Nothing.

This is heavy shit. The media normalises this and portrays it as acceptable and that some bloke silently standing in the middle of the street on his own deserves to have an armoured soldier pointing a rifle at him and screaming hysterically. It’s not normal and it’s not right. This shit has no place in Australia. The authoritarianism being ushered in under the cover of this bad flu is more than alarming it’s quite shocking. This is the news story.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but the COVID19 vaccine has been mandated for all staff in NSW schools. They have until the 8th of November to get fully vaccinated. Mate of mine who is a teacher plans to quit his job in protest. Strangely enough, he teaches Science but is an anti-vaxxer; he is not just against COVID19 vaccines, but all vaccines. Wonder why teachers are not taking it to the streets like the tradies?

People can hate on Avi, but this is 100% real journalism, on the ground talking to the people and not just one or two, showing extensive footage, these guys arent rent an Anti vaxers crowd or right wing groups jumping on the issue, there are hardcore pissed off tradies mostly from bigger commercial building type sites working for bigger companies, where unions are important. (opposed to your everyday residential sole trader type tradie where unions arent important)

Meanwhile while i type Sunrise just aired the same issue with a completely different slant, with footage from the air, talking to some some clean cut uni student type exert who's slant is anti vaxers and right wing even quon are the problem.

The bikies and thugs employed by the union to intimidate their own members were on full display .

What a terrible policy for union management to employ !!!!

This time the members were not going to be intimidated . Wonderful to see .

Also great to see the members acknowledge and apologise for their mistake in not acting earlier to support all the other industries smashed by lockdowns and the government .

The worm has turned as the government has poked a hornets nest .

The police were not too keen to take on real men . A terrible state of affairs . These members will fight for their freedoms .

The government will back down to them . Guaranteed !

ah Blowin , same old bleating ...your stats come from the clouds which is great for cloud surfing...
the misinformation you keep posting is how Covid is just a flu , no need to be worried it only kills old people and I keep saying and post it's trying to keep the numbers down so the Health services don't go onto meltdown....
Now you have a crack at the police , when all they are doing is their job,,,,while a group of people openly break the law and contribute to a fragmenting society , and actually held a super spreader event...so there will be an extra couple of weeks to a month lockdown now....well done tradies /anti-vaxxers and conspiracy nutters....we all pay the price for the few who think they are above the law.....

If vaccination rates hit 70-80% and lockdowns and restrictions continue, then I think the disquiet will become more widespread.

The approach adopted by the current protesters will turn most sensible people towards complying with the government's rules rather than having the opposite effect.

You could also look at it from the non-hysteric angle that if this scenario was being played out in the US old mate with his arms crossed would have had 5 "pig cops" pinning him to the ground after having had rubber bullets to the guts and tear gas canisters to the head. So in all fairness I think our "pig cops" are a bit more restrained and trained for the task at hand. Not a good look though I agree but as for pointing long guns at people well that says it all.
So Blowin unless you actually know one personally and really really know what normal jobs any "pig cops" do on a daily basis, then I suggest you shove your appreciation up your big hairy arse.

1) that it's 2021, and not 2020?
2) That Trump got dumped from office because he didn't win the 2020 election....?
3) That Australian Trump supporters ,ah , can't vote for him as Trump is in the USA?
4) that the USA and Australia are not the same country...
5) campaigning for Trump's 2020 re-election in 2021 , In Australia , while breaking the law , no masks , unlawful assembly , attacking police........now there's and intellectual meltdown of epic proportions......

All you Trump Deranged Syndrome sufferers need to have a look at the video that Sypkan posted .

All the people there WERE Andrew supporters . They would hate Trump . A few Trumpies and other low life's looking for a fight infiltrated after the gathering at the union office .

The protestors became angry when the paid enforcers of the union came out throwing punches . Their intimidation didn't work and they cowered back into the building . They then came out later ARMED . WTF ! The members knew they were bikies and have obviously been willing to put up with it in the past .

Not now . The hornets nest has been disturbed and is VERY angry . I really hope it does not get out of hand !!!! I hope that saner heads will prevail . The government needs to back off .

If they don't and get the police to over react or get the military to enforce their will this will go ballistic .

It will be a terrible state of anarchy which will be a huge black stain on our wonderful city .

Just a reminder of the simple, indisputable facts.

The Covid survival rate for Australians under the age of twenty is 100%.

The 2021 all Australian survival rate for Covid is 99.58%.

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/covid-19-will-remain-a-fire-foug...

Since the Wuflu hit Australian shores there have been approximately 43,000 avoidable deaths in Australia ( not including Covid). This equates to 79 avoidable deaths every single day. Clogging up our hospitals and emergency services.

Does this make headlines? Does anyone demand that an avoidable death recipient be denied emergency treatment? Does the entire population go into house arrest to prevent this massacre? Do people get ostracised and shamed by institutions and media and the public for becoming a potential avoidable death statistic? Do the authorities demand that people no threatened by avoidable death get treated for avoidable death with an injection only approved for emergency use?

No to all of the above.

Why is that?

Does this make headlines? Does anyone demand that an avoidable death recipient be denied emergency treatment? Does the entire population go into house arrest to prevent this massacre? Do people get ostracised and shamed by institutions and media and the public for becoming a potential avoidable death statistic? Do the authorities demand that people no threatened by avoidable death get treated for avoidable death with an injection only approved for emergency use?

No to all of the above.

Why is that?

It is that way because of lockdowns, because we have kept large infections of covid out of the community, because we have learnt how to treat people with it, because our hospitals have capacity…the survival rates in Australia in 2020 and 2021 are good, but in the grand scheme irrelevant. You really are a moron that you can’t get that or you really are a moron that you deliberately choose to ignore it to further your bias or you are simply a moron (as well as a liar).
