South Africa's health minister has confirmed omicron is the most transmissible coronavirus variant yet but does not appear as severe. The minister, Dr. Joe Phaala, says previous concerns that omicron was hospitalizing more children appear to be unfounded. https://www.voanews.com/a/omicron-more-transmissible-but-seems-less-seve...

It is a tiny minority trying to impose their will on the vast majority who support government policy. Maybe not fascist but definitely authoritarian. It might surprise some of you but we live in a democracy and as such the government as the right to impose health regulations to protect the population when they have a mandate to do so. As they do now. You are the ones, not only attacking sensible public health measures, but actually undermining the political system that delivers the freedoms you enjoy.

I think you’d better take a closer look at your link if you think it supports your case for injecting 5 year olds with toxins. Perhaps you should expand your reading to the relevant German studies as well.

I call them Freedumb fighters because these people are morons. They want freedom but by being anti-mask anti-vax, they've undermined the very cause they are fighting for. These twats have been spreading the virus at their rallies and have the bloody nerve to complain about lockdowns. They want freedom without responsibility and they want it on their terms. The vast majority of the population can go fuck themselves according to these clowns.
We have increased freedoms despite these fuckwits, not because of them.

Im not sure if im reading your comment correctly?

Because it doesn't make any sense to suggest anything the protesters seek is authoritarian in anyway, again it's the complete opposite vaccine mandates are 100% authoritarian though.

Im pro vax and fully vaxed and will get a boaster (to go to Indo) but its irrelevant to me if others are vaccinated or not because im already protected as much as can be and the vaccine isn't all that efficient at preventing transmission.

If you are talking lockdowns without vaccine you might have a point about effect on others health.

Sorry shortenism but the reality is that you do not have the right to break laws passed by the legitimate government. The fact that those laws are based on the best medical advice available and actively supported by the vast majority of the population means your point of view is absurd.

"I don’t think these laws you speak of are supported by the vast majority of the population blindboy"
That's because you are utterly deluded shortenism.
95% of Australian adults have or will get vaxxed. They've done the right thing by their fellow citizens. I'm tipping the vast majority of the population want laws based on expert medical advice. They don't want politicians to make laws for a pack of anti-vax muppets at the expense of everyone else.
Shortenism, Your problem is, you live in an anti-vaxxer bubble. I've only come across two anti-vaxxers out in the real world. One concrete delivery meathead and a hippie. Everyone else I've come across is happy to wear masks and get vaxxed.
BTW, if these laws were genuinely unpopular, politicians would know that. So far, no govt in Australia has caved in to the mob in the streets. All governments have held the line. Have you worked out why yet shortenism?

Yes shortenism, we've all been lied to for two years and covid is nothing to worry about but the vaccine is. Doctors were in on it, so too were governments, drug companies, hospitals, universities, and the media. Hang Bill Gates. All those scenes of mass graves being dug in Brazil, India, and Iran were fake and the grieving people were all crisis actors. I can't believe the airlines happily stopped flying for two years over this and never once blew the whistle about this giant scam.

Positive Care Pathways Program ( Reveals the Vic Health Covid care breakdown! )
It's not said here, but Oz wide Home Care is only approved for Vaxers ( Default "Measured" Low Risk )
Less so that Patients are Vaxed but more so they're vaxed with Measured doses to set the monitors.
Healthy athletic non vaxerz may be suited buy would need "Personal unmeasured Trial Plans"
Same goes for Naturally double Covid infected...readings would be alarmingly unreliable.
Notably the same arguments dictate international Travel Tests. (All are set to default Vax doses)

Vic Health Vaxed Covid Care Formula (Click Link) Low 70% > Medium 20% > High 10%
https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/covid-positive-pathways
Chart figures shown are based on Current (2 wks) Vic Health Hospital / cases.

70% Low Risk Home Care ( 3,789 fully vaxed patients )

20% Medium Risk Home Care (842 fully vaxed patients)

10% High Risk > Hospitals (421 Patients) Breakdown Vax % sourced from (Oct -Dec) Vic Health Data

310 Ward Patients 2 doses 43% (3 Dec) + 1 dose 27% (6 Oct) Be well higher now!
74 ICU Patients unvaxed 33% (1 Dec) + 1 dose (n/a) Also has recorded higher than full vax.
37 Vent Patients Senior Vax Wanerz...(Often implied as default patient group - Not Official)

Viccos can apply set [+] % Care to "current" Hospital Cases to tally ongoing severity of VOC.
Salute Vic Health for leaving the back door open for VOC Healthcare Data rates. (It all helps!)

Now Vic can apply "Current Case Count" or default 14 days Hospital / Virus patient recovery
421 (10%) = 4,210 / 16,144 (Current 2 week Cases) are in Health Care
4,210 / 19,144 (Adds Unregistered Low / Medium Risk Patients, if they are indeed, off grid!)

To keep Vic Demo simple...1/4 Vic Infections require min 2 week Health care.
Gives Viccos an idea of Severity & real number of current Patients..
Also found out that "Low number" Local / o's Cases are nor counted as is but bundled.
This is done so not to out a particular individual case...that may be bullied over triggering a Hot Spot.
So the Maps / Exposures may not tell the whole story & some Postcodes are infected > (Not Shown!)

Should help locals understand that 90% Covid health resource is off grid GP / Medicare / Telehealth
Vic have been running such since the start of the year... (This being our new norm in every state!)

Nice that Feds are chipping in to keep Fully Vaxed Covid off the Front Page & borders open.

Kinda! Oz Govt sells off Telehealth Phone Codes & My Health records/Scripts to Big Pharma / China!
The big breakthru affords Big Pharma to now legally breach Patient < > Doc Confidentiality.
Big Pharma knows exactly what yer GP Clinic will prescribe for your next illness you're about to get!
Every Oz Religious School Headmaster knows which Teacher is...well...what they thought! You Know!
Hot Doc run Homecare Covid Tests & Ancestry.com gets a #1 Multicultural DNA sample.
So Scomo gets rewarded big time a dozen times over by tech giants mostly.

Secret of inland rail / Dad's Air Reserve is to Secure Troops / Weapons to all Key Ports in best time.

Further, if you are jabbed and travel to QLd you have to test negative..? So what’s the difference in testing negative if you are not jabbed or jabbed? You still test negative.

interesting the clowns above taking those 90 - 95% numbers as some sort of confirmation their team hasn't grossly overstepped the mark

yes the vast majority support sensible health measures - or did - but a lot of the measures just haven't been even remotely sensible

and there's a big difference between being vaxxed and supporting mandatory vaccinations... a big big difference...

Public health [officials] would say to always wear a mask because it decreases flu and decreases [other airborne illnesses]. But that's not something that you require; you don't tell people what to wear. You don't tell people to wear a jacket when they go out in winter and force them to [wear it]. If they get frostbite, it's their own darn fault. 

"If you haven't been vaccinated, that's your choice. I respect that. But it's your fault when you're in the hospital with COVID," he added."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/colorado-governor-covid-19-emergency-ov...

personally i think its sad that it has devolved to such a done with it, either / or debate environment

if omicron is such a problem.... then things like masks possibly have a place...

however if it's more omni-con than menacing omicron... then it's time for the gate keepers to slacken their power trip...

either way... no one believes anything anymore... trust is gone... and the shitstorm continues...

"The team looked at the ability of serums of 40 vaccinated healthcare workers at Sheba to neutralize the Omicron variant – 20 who received the booster shot within the last month, and 20 who had only received two shots, the last one five or six months ago."

This is a very small study. As such it is only an indication of the effects of the vaccinations in the wider community. As there is no link to the original study it leaves a lot of questions unanswered particularly in terms of matching the groups for existing health issues, age and body composition. Given the scope and size of the study I think that would have been difficult. Another issue is that I assume that by "neutralization ability", they are referring to the effect of the antibody level. This does not necessarily correlate perfectly with actual resistance to the disease as t-cells also provide protection. Take away? Pretty much what we alrerady knew. Breakthrough infections in the double vaccinated are more common with Omicron. And in terms of prevention: one is better than none, two is better than one, and three is better than two.

So 5 year old's up for vaccination, what is the medical advice in Australia?

What do the AMA, TGA, Health Department, RACGP etc say, I know these guys pale into insignificance against the sheer weight of medical experience on Swellnet :-)

Another question is the alarm over COVID vaccine re not enough testing, rushed, long term effects by anti vaxers yet in 3 weeks same people are experts on the variant Omicron how is that?

well let's hope not, but considering the mission creep so far, it really would not surprise me...

Oh dear.

Today's Courier Mail:

HOW LONG WILL A BOOSTER LAST?

Researchers are still studying whether booster shots will last as long, longer or less than the original dual doses. The original clinical trials for the vaccines didn’t account for waning effectiveness or the need for additional boosters to maintain their efficacy. Therefore, the long-term efficacy of the boosters, and whether there will be the need for another shot, and then another or another, is currently unknown.

Not sure what state you're in sypkan, but there was a clear move in strategy here in Victoria once we hit 90%.

I personally (could be wrong) can't see any push or suggestion to push vaccinations wider than they already are being pushed. There's plenty of news of the approval and availability of them, but I don't see it fitting with the covid normal strategy. We've opened up completely, it's essentially back to normal. I'd imagine there would need to be a very good reason to push vaccines on kids, such as an actual dangerous new variant or excessive hospitalisations due to spread among kids.

" The original clinical trials for the vaccines didn’t account for waning effectiveness or the need for additional boosters to maintain their efficacy".

Consider:

108 days of trials before release.

First time in vaccine development history that a Company was given indemnity before project began.

Wants 75 years before full release of data from project.

Scott Gottlieb headed FDA 2018/19 and now sits on Pfizer board.

I would have pissed laughing myself three years ago if I had known how many people would succumb to this Trinity.

Big Gov, Big Brother and Big Pharma. FMD.

Then again the other side has Muslims, greenies lgbtia and right wingers marching together.

Kinda ironic that it was a Chinese proverb that said " May you live in interesting times".

We do...

What different point of view?

"“People who have received the booster are better protected than those who received only the second, and of course, more than the unvaccinated,” Alroy-Preis said.
She noted that the only individual infected with the Omicron who is in serious condition is unvaccinated."

There’s not a single person who’s died from omicron on the whole planet. Every word out of South Africa, where they’ve had omicron for weeks, is that the outcomes are very mild. Basically nothing to worry about.

If Omicron had come out in 2019 you’d never had heard of it and any cases would have been assumed to be the flu. They certainly wouldn’t be shutting borders and counting cases.

Omicron is no selling point for a booster shot.

I’d wager that as per usual the person who is severely Ill whilst having omicron is severely I’ll with something else whilst testing positive.

4 more people i know or friends of friends in last 12 hours suffering severe adverse reactions to Pfizer jab. The numbers are accelerating as people line up for their second jabs and boosters.

"So aaron what was the source of their information"?

Various. TGA, the Lancet and as usual the heads of Pfizer and Moderna.

The scientific method has gone by the board.

Two shots.
Mixing various brands.
Booster @6 @5 @3.

Now both Israel and Australia basically saying " We don't know".

Commenting on Swellnet must increase the risk of adverse reactions in friends and relatives as the incidence of reports here are orders of magnitude above the whole population data.

Meanwhile, from a more reliable source, a good update on Omicron.

“Even if some antibodies fail to block infection by Omicron, T cells and other antibodies developed from vaccination or infection may provide some protection against severe illness. In other words, deaths and hospitalizations may not track cases as closely as they have in previous pandemic waves. Measuring this requires data from clinics, hospitals and epidemiological studies that follow infections and symptoms in people over time. Such studies take more time than experiments in a lab.
It typically takes several weeks for severe Covid-19 to develop, which is why deaths and hospitalizations are what scientists call a “lagging indicator.” So while it’s fine to be optimistic when we hear early anecdotal reports about vaccinated people having only mild symptoms, remember that it will take time to have reliable data on disease severity overall. For example, it’s possible that Omicron could cause milder disease in people who have been previously vaccinated or infected but cause severe disease in people with no immunity. This will have implications for the burden that might be placed on hospitals.”

"...I'd imagine there would need to be a very good reason to push vaccines on kids, such as an actual dangerous new variant or excessive hospitalisations due to spread among kids."

you been following the conversation above?

this new variant is enough for some nutters...

and as the nut has been priming his audience for...

the coming winter coinciding with the 'natural' dispersion of this variant will be the test

...test the resolve of people... of all descriptions.... and the percieved 'necessity' of measures...

anyway, Im pretty confident oz will find a good middle path, most adult people vaccinated and feeling that should be enough will kerb the nuttyness...

hopefully...

You’ve got coerced/ mandated boosters just around the corner and I reckon that the >60% of Australians who were forced against their will into getting the first jabs won’t be as ready to comply this time around. That’s why the MSM is selling the boosters hardcore already and the omicron is being pushed as something worse than the sniffles it is. Government booster campaign roll out in three two one….

You do realise we're coerced to do a whole host of things daily to take part in modern society. Freedom is such a loaded and misunderstood word, and people are using it now while simply ignoring the responsibility and accountability aspects to it. It's not unconditional.
Anyway, I reckon you're >60% is about 55% off the mark there. Most people don't care about needles as much as you and your freedom mates do.

“Freedom is such a loaded and misunderstood word “….oh please. Not being allowed over a state border, not being allowed to leave the country, not being allowed to assemble freely with other people. These are basic freedoms. Nothing there to misunderstand unless you’re mentally retarded.

It’s a basic and established human right to not be forced into a medical procedure such as an injection. Coercion is force. Freedom is not a privilege conditional to political whim in any society Australians would recognise. Freedom of movement throughout our nation is not a privilege to be revoked.

“Section 10(2) of the Human Rights Act 2004 says that: No-one may be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation or treatment without his or her free consent. Note: The prohibition on torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment under international law applies at all times and under all circumstances.“

Even if you’re double vaccinated you’re still not free due to some virus beat up narrative. People like yourself who broadcast your Stockholm Syndrome with comments like “ Freedom is a loaded and misunderstood word “ are a bit of a disgrace I reckon.
