Well, here's what I have. And there's a lot more than 5.



* There's that word "jab(s)" again... creates a negative 'vibe' right from the start (I'm sure aquascoot can tell us all about "vibes" - perhaps when he's finished feeding the horses tomorrow morning?).

* "Vaccine fatigue"? Nah, an almost total lack of government and health department messaging (and idiot antivaxxers) is to blame there.

* "... get immunised against potentially deadly illnesses such as influenza, meningococcal and shingles" Yes - but what about SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)?
And... while vaccines are important they should not be the first line of defence (but they can't say the word "mask", of course) and you really should avoid catching any of these if you can, vaccinated or not.

* "During the COVID-19 pandemic..." - the only mention of the C word in the whole article and it's used to imply the pandemic is over (which it isn't).

* "We have also seen a spike in misleading and dangerous information...." Yes, and apart from the antivaxxers and antimaskers most of it has been (and is still) coming from our governments.
Like "wash your hands" and "cough and sneeze into your hands or elbow" to protect people from airborne viruses like Covid, flu and RSV.

* "It is so important that we counter this misinformation...." Well, better late than never. And, when will you start? Hint: Start by using the "m(ask)" word - if you dare.

* 803 hospitalisations for influenza and 650 for RSV since January. How many hospitalisations for Covid in that same time period? Oops... can't tell us... it's now a big secret.

* "My government's free immunisation program for illnesses like influenza and RSV make it easy for Western Australians to keep themselves and their loved ones safe" Great, but what about keeping everyone safe from Covid?

* "I encourage everyone to make informed decisions..." lol... with a population the majority of whom can't think any further ahead than what's for dinner, what's on TV tonight and when can they take their next Bali holiday? Hilarious stuff!!
And, I'm sure aquascoot will be along in the morning to give us another lecture about that awesome "personal responsibility" 

* "... and not to assume they're immune..." lol - again. The majority wouldn't be assuming or even thinking about it at all (see previous comment above).
And... vaccination for any of these illnesses does not provide immunity... you can still catch and spread them.

* "... for the benefit of the whole community" lol x3... that's the funniest thing in the entire article (see 2 comments up - again). And... someone should post that one up in our hospitals, all healthcare settings and aged care places where staff won't even put on a mask to protect the medically vulnerable and elderly from any of the abovementioned illnesses - especially Covid.

Good to see that it wasn't just me who noticed.

EXCLUSIVE COMMENT: WA Government Vaccination Campaigns Ignore COVID Crisis, Warns Dr. Andrew Miller

Not sure who or what did the transcript because parts of it look a little 'odd' (maybe someone should have proofread it) but you get the idea.

Yes, it is.

But, they've 'painted themselves into a corner' now with making almost everyone believe Covid is over or it's just "mild" and they can't see any way out of that without making themselves look like bigger idiots than they already are - even if they wanted to fix it (which I'm sure they don't).

Yes.

"this all ends when we get enough jabs in arms" was a result of (a) governments not being aware of what SARS-CoV-2 was/is still capable of or (b) they knew and decided to deliberately ignore it because of the enormous pressure they were under at the time to open Australia up again then opening up and hoping Covid would soon become nothing more than a common cold.

They 'gambled and lost'... with the result that 25,000 Australians (so far) have lost their lives. As well as the ongoing hospitalisations, sickness everywhere and long Covid cases.

And now they're making things worse for themselves (and us) by trying to cover up their mistakes by taking a 'vow of silence' regarding Covid as well as removing or hiding all Covid case number, hospitalisation and death reports.

I'm predicting this is all going to end badly for these politicians responsible for this mess... accountability is coming. But, it is taking a lot longer than I (and many others) would like.

Yes, I'm afraid you're probably right.

I took my 94 year old aunt for her 9 monthly eye checkup at a place in Murdoch this morning.

The 'photoshopped' picture of the Mona Lisa wearing a 'baggy blue' surgical mask was still on the wall behind the reception desk... been there for about 2 or 3 years but none of the staff were wearing any sort of mask of course.

But at least there were a couple of bottles of hand sanitiser and even a couple of boxes of tissues on the reception desk.

Just what people need to deal with airborne viruses (that's sarcasm, by the way).

Apart from the KN95's being worn by my aunt and I there were baggy blues on one or two of the patients in the very busy (small and stuffy) waiting area... with one mask being worn under the nose.

Spoke to a couple of staff and they agreed with me that it isn't a good idea to get infected with Covid or any other respiratory viruses even if you've been vaccinated but it doesn't seem to occur to them that the best way to protect yourself is to wear a mask (I suspect they do know but they don't want to 'scare' patients and potentially lose business by masking - might also be "orders from the top").

Pity aquascoot wasn't there to give them one of his "personal responsibility" lectures. 

I almost gasped when the eye doctor checking my aunt told me she had one elderly patient who has had Covid 7 times so far!!! He is in extremely poor health but he's also a heavy smoker. Poor guy, I don't think he will make it to the end of this year, especially if he gets Covid infection #8 or even the flu or RSV.

No, it doesn't.

Anything more you'd like to add?

The Forever Pandemic.

Just when the latest wave seemed to be receding.

But, that's what happens when we (or, our governments) chose to "live with the virus".

Experts warn new contagious FLuQE Covid subvariant ‘taking off’ in Australia

A new variant of Covid has already produced a bulge in cases, and now experts are warning an even more contagious subvariant will hit Aussies soon.

Quote:


So, is the Australian government going to do anything to stop this from entering the country? Mind you, it's probably already here.

Don't we have biosecurity laws that are supposed to prevent things like this? I'm sure we do but I'm guessing they don't apply to viruses and other illnesses that only affect humans these days?

How about masks on planes? Enforcing declarations that people are supposed to sign before boarding planes to Australia saying they're not sick or infectious with (enforced) penalties for lying? Testing before boarding flights and/or after arriving? Quarantine?

Australian government and the airlines: "Nah, we're good. Thanks for asking anyway" (and then they continue counting their $$$$$).

Quote:


With 657 deaths in Australian aged care so far this year (6,783 aged care deaths since the beginning of the pandemic) we also weren't "properly prepared" for the last one (and the one before... and the one before...).

But, just carry on working, shopping, spending and taking interstate and overseas holidays... the economy needs YOU (to die, be sick almost all the time from repeated infections, or become disabled from Covid if necessary).

What a fustercluck.

I haven't seen Australia's alleged Biosecurity Laws but I'm pretty sure I can sum them up in 2 sentences:

1. Any virus or illness that only affects and kills humans, especially the elderly and medically vulnerable (so we can save money on pensions and healthcare costs) - "Welcome to Australia, make yourself right at home (and make sure you invite all of your friends)".

2. Any virus or illness that can (negatively) affect the economy by killing or causing sickness in cattle, sheep, poultry, etc. - "We'll be all over you like flies on sh!t, you won't stand a chance, no matter what it takes or how much it costs (the taxpayers)".

Am I right? I believe I am after what I've seen (and continue to see) since the start of the Covid pandemic.

Masks? Nah, of course not.

No - and it never will, you muppet. And you know it.

No, of course there isn't. Especially now with hardly anyone testing and reporting and governments 'hiding' what little Covid information, cases, deaths and hospitalisations are still available (just waiting for aged care death numbers to 'disappear', won't be long now, I'm sure).

And, didn't you say nearly 3 years ago that it was "necessary" for everyone to be infected?

How does this idiot (and others like him around Australia) manage to keep his job? Don't answer that, I already know.
