Talking to my mate who is a teacher at Byron High and he said they lost only one teacher there, which was a surprise to me.
I thought they would have lost more.

Someone close to me was a lifelong anti-vaxxer but when it came to preserving her job in healthcare she became very quiet on the matter.
Seems like there’s social grandstanding and then there’s harsh economic realities.
At least the Steiner mob are backing up their ideological convictions I suppose.

I was quite surprised when my anti-vaxxer pal in disability gave up her job.

In the car with my mate the high school teacher was a bloke who was working in aged care.....he also lost his job because of refusal to get vaxxed.
he was a gardener.

got another job the same day.

Luckily it's an easy labour market to get another job in.

Ethical dilemma for mandating vaccines is if someone just prior to the injection says “I do not want this vaccine, I’m only doing it because I can’t afford to pay the fine and don’t want to go to jail”. When the vaccine is given, if the person then dies from anaphylaxis who takes responsibility?
That’s why they are mandatory by proxy, you don’t have to have them just you can’t really do anything in society you were previously used to doing. Technically not mandatory

As per earlier post the only reason it’s being handed to business is it kicks the can down the road long enough that they maximise the jab quota. Feds can’t do it, states can’t do it, so business gets handed it.

This sets up a runway of about 12-24 months to hype it as much as possible and get as many jabbed as possible all the while the court system goes through the motions, taking its time and the jab quota gets hit.

Genius strategy if you’re in the business of jabbing ppl.

Yep. As the facts state a healthy younger person is 99.99% likely to survive Covid. Thanks for making a point of the rarity of the occurrence BB. Just like dementia , Covid is primarily a threat to the elderly, then those with multiple serious conditions. I look forward to BB locating the odd young individual who suffers from dementia and making a big deal out of that too. In the meantime everyone else can be rational about the extremely minor threat.

However the 47 Covid “related” deaths amongst double vaccinated in NSW between June-October is much more concerning. These vaccinated people are simply walking around the streets carrying their death plague . Surely we should all be hiding in our basements with the lights out to prevent this occurring?

It’s obviously a pandemic of the vaccinated.

Another 18 booster shots will save us!

In other news…..my Mum has still not recovered from her vaccine reaction. Her mobility has decreased by about 90%. The vaccine had a debilitating and life changing effect on her life.

“Of the 47 cases who died with COVID-19 who had two doses of vaccine, their average age was 82 years; 29 (61.7%) were residents of aged care facilities and the other 18 had significant comorbidities.

“Of the 30 admitted to ICU, 26 (86.7%) had significant co-morbidities and 4 had no reported comorbid conditions.”

Your mother's case is unfortunate but with the inevitable spread into regional areas which is about to occur she obviously considered it a risk worth taking.

BB….if you’re trying to mitigate the vaccine deaths because of comorbidities, you’ve just mitigated the gravity of 99% of Covid deaths full stop.

The CDC is utterly unreliable as a source. It operates as a functionary for the pharmaceutical industry which pays for it. If the US gave a rat’s arse about public health there would be a public health system. There is nota care for the health of the public. More people died in US from being poor in a single year than died WITH Covid in its entire history.Does the government stop everything to save these lives….lololol.

From BB cones the truth of the Covid matter. He thinks this is exceptional statistics resulting from vaccine protection but it is the reality of who is vulnerable to Covid.

““Of the 47 cases who died with COVID-19 who had two doses of vaccine, their average age was 82 years; 29 (61.7%) were residents of aged care facilities and the other 18 had significant comorbidities.
“Of the 30 admitted to ICU, 26 (86.7%) had significant co-morbidities and 4 had no reported comorbid conditions.“

The most overhyped virus in the world’s history. Think back to how it was discussed last year when the medal would have you believe it was indiscriminate mass killer.The lies told were incredible. Has there ever been a second to pause and assess the scale of government sanctioned and engineered scare mongering? They literally tried to induce panic in society.

Covid should be renamed MPC-19 ( Money, Power, Control-19)

She’s still very much compromised. She is a sucker for the media and still got the second jab despite what happened the first time. Her Pisa syndrome returned to its drastic state and even her brain dead GP couldn’t deny the cause. It’s fucked up how much she is restricted in mobility now, Unfortunately a loss of mobility affects everything else. Bodily functions do not operate efficiently without the stimulation of movement. It’s pretty fucken heavy.

Have you read "the boy who cried wolf" blowin?
Here's the thing blowin, you could be telling the truth that your mum got sick after getting vaccinated, but given your history, I take everything you say with a grain of salt.
Even if you are telling the truth re vaccination and your mum, correlation doesn't necessarily = causation.
Abusing the GP, just because he or she doesn't give you the answers you want is kind of pathetic. I suggest a second opinion and a more open mind.
BTW, it seems like every anti-vaxxer on the planet know a person (or multi people) who have died from the vaccine. Given the tiny number of deaths, their claims seam highly unlikely to be true.

For anyone that wants to jump in and vaccinate kids.. from the TGA -
“Paediatric population:
The safety and efficacy of COMIRNATY in children and adolescents aged less than 16 years of age have not yet been established. Limited data are available in this age group..”

I would suggest deaths from vaccination are pretty low on the list of concerns. Long term health consequences are the issue.

According to the data from health.gov.au less than 2 in a million experience myopericarditis at around 50 years.
I know 2 that have ended up in hospital from my town of 11k. Guessing I might know 25% of them.
In the ED they say take some ibuprofen and “usually” the symptoms subside after a few weeks. Interesting choice of words from a regional hospital if it’s a 2 in a million stat.

Boys under 16 are 20 times more likely to develop this condition than 50 year olds.

Ok so you say in the one hand he says there’s not enough data but in the other he’s quoting stats. All straight from the government websites my friends.

Spot on dp, Myocarditis stats are through the roof. And whilst the prognosis for patients with acute myocarditis who rapidly recover is very good. If damage to the heart muscle becomes chronic and/or progressive, the prognosis declines rapidly. In short, it can knock a lot of years off your life and needs to be taken very seriously.

Covid has been in Australia for about 20 months. There has been 181578 cases - probably many more as not all cases are confirmed.

Fatalities WITH Covid

0-9 years : 0
10-19 years :2
20-29 years :9
30-39 years: 18
40-49 years : 36

A total of 65 deaths WITH Covid as an underlying condition for the entire duration of Covid for all Australians under 50 years of age out of an eligible demographic of over 14 million people.

Facts.

Vs

Fear mongering

BB - Until you acknowledge the vast, vast difference between the fear mongering narrative and the reality it’s yourself who is guilty of peddling misinformation. You could start by admitting that the virus is not a major threat to human life for those who are not encumbered by serious underlying health conditions and the elderly.

blindboy's picture

blindboy Tuesday, 9 Nov 2021 at 9:11am

181,578 cases
1827 deaths

The 14 million is irrelevant except to indicate how succesful we were at stopping the spread. The age distribution is also irrelevant as everyone infected can spread the disease. I assume you got vaccinated to protect your mother. Maybe you should apply that same thinking to other vulnerable people in the community. The point is that the unvaccinated under 50s who think that they are safe are deluding themselves. They face a real risk of infection and serious disease as the virus spreads. Fear mongering? No mate, facing the fact that we all need to act to prevent serious illness and death amongst the vulnerable and while the statistics give us a good guide to who they are, many people are more vulnerable than they think.
Then there is the issue thast beyond personal risk we all have a responsibility to avoid infection to reduce the load on ICU units. When the under 50s occupy 36% of the beds, they become a significant part of the problem.

Wow…..you still claim that young people are deluding themselves if they realise that their risk of death is tiny.

11 people under 20 years old dead WITH Covid as an underlying condition amongst their other serious comorbidities and you still argue against this fact?

Why do you ignore the science and choose to parrot doom mongering headlines? Your relentless misinformation should be punished by gaol time. There could be vulnerable, mentally ill young people reading this and your irrational fear peddling could put them at risk. You are dangerous.
