Went to my local TerryWhite Chemmart this morning to ask about a 6th Covid vaccination which I was under the impression I was eligible for next Monday the 21st (after asking around at several other places over the past few weeks and getting vague answers).
Apparently the only people eligible for a 6th vaccination at the moment are people with medical issues and they need proof from their GP.
The rest of us have to rely on being (re)infected with a constantly mutating Level 3 Biohazard, heart, brain and multiple organ damaging bat virus for our "vaccinations".
Which obviously suits the government fine as they're saving even more money on top of the millions they're already saving on pensions and healthcare by having Covid kill off the elderly and medically vulnerable.
And with the majority of the population blissfully unaware of all this the government doesn't need to do anything except play dumb (which comes natural to them) and keep pretending that the pandemic is over and Covid is "just another respiratory illness".
But, watch out for those new variants like Eris (EG.5) and several others starting to do the rounds... despite media "reassurances" about them being "mild" (where have we heard that before?) there's no proof yet as to whether they're the same or possibly worse than current variants.
And I've also read somewhere that the vaccines available at the moment are not particularly effective against these newer variants.
We are SOOOOOO screwed...
Again, this is more disinformation. Every new variant/mutation of the SARS Covid virus has been either less virulent(harmful, lethal), or less contagious(infectious), THAN ITS ORIGINAL! This is just how nature works. Why you are choosing to assume that there is a more virulent and contagious variant(of the original) just around the corner, is definitely NOT supported by science or anything that we have observed. But your cognitive bias does support your belief. AS A COPING MECHANISM!

take a breath buddy
its really not that bad
No, of course it isn't.
Try telling that to the families of the 22,466 people what have died so far.
https://covidlive.com.au/report/deathsAnd there will no doubt be more deaths added tomorrow.
I wonder which State or Territory will be next to stop reporting Covid deaths so they can also say "look... no more Covid deaths" (even though they're still happening).
More disinformation to appeal to pathos. Let's include some context to these 22,466 Covid-19 deaths. Simply stating the total deaths, gives the impression that all these deaths have occurred today. Instead of occurring over 1,300 days(17/26M Australian/day). It also ignores all other factors relating to these TOTAL deaths(comorbidities, immunocompromised, chronic illnesses, etc.). I certainly agree that you should avoid this subject altogether
.
Finally, if we consider that over 171,000 Australians die each year(468 Australians/day), I'd say that it IS a certainty that more deaths will be added tomorrow. And, yes a few might even be Covid-19 related.
