I'm still shocked that Dr Kerryn Phelps became an anti-vax loon.
"Dr Phelps, who first went public in late 2022 about the "devastating" vaccine injury both she and her wife had suffered after a Pfizer jab, said while there was "a lot that our public health agencies got right during this pandemic", significant mistakes were made."
She doesn't sound like an anti-vax loon to me.
"While vaccines have been and continue to be an important piece in the management of COVID19, it will not "keep us all safe" as we are being led to believe. Nobody said it would be easy to eliminate this virus. It was always going to take time and persistence. There must be a multi-faceted approach that includes vaccination (including third doses of current vaccines and development of new vaccines), masks, ventilation, PCR and rapid antigen testing, ramping up tracing, isolation and quarantine."
Dr Kerryn Phelps - December 16, 2021.
"Dr Phelps called for a "return to the precautionary principle and the fundamentals of public health and disease prevention" and a "comprehensive plan for research and development of treatments", including sterilising vaccines."
Dr Kerryn Phelps - June 12, 2024.
We have a new meaning of safe seemingly........Dr Phelps, who first went public in late 2022 about the "devastating" vaccine injury both she and her wife had suffered after a Pfizer jab,
It can also mean suffering devasting injury.
There were a few on here who posted devasting injuries also.
Not to forget the 140K reports of adverse events from the C19 'vaccine' to the TGA in Australia.

Neither to me.
She just sounds like everyone on these forums who is labelled an anti-vax loon (excepting the actual anti-vax loon of course).
"It also became evident that these were not sterilising vaccines, and that while they were reported to provide some protection against severe disease ...., they would not stop infection or transmission."
"Of course, early in the rollout of the vaccines, little was known about the potential range of adverse effects of the vaccine,"
"Political decisions were made, and public health advice was provided based on this misinformation,
Although, not all the political decisions were misinformation, just mainly the ones from the politicans who later got OBEs.
Dominic Premier has called for an end of Covid-19 vaccines mandates, saying the jab has no impact on transmission.
"I have made it clear for the simple reason that there is no evidence that the vaccines stop transmission."
So even the actual anti-vax loon poses no more a risk than anyone else to those who believe in the miracle covid vax.
Maybe, just maybe, the big issue here is that somebody called it a vaccine, and others belived them, when it doesn't actually vaccinate.

vaccinate
/?vaks?ne?t/
verb
treat (a person or animal) with a vaccine to produce immunity to a particular infectious disease or pathogen
If I said Codrel was a vaccine, or Sudafest, or Claratyne you'd all tell me I was bonkers. Maybe the Covid 'vaccines' should have been calledComrinaty, for potential short-term mild relief of Covid symptoms,then we wouldn't be on 37 pages of this thread and we could argue about something less important instead.

I am still skeptical about why people who distrust vaccines seem to have more reactions. Is it just chance?
If you distrusted the Covid vaccines you wouldn't take it. Unless you had to so you could keep your job.
Yeah, true. But it may make you more likely to be concerned about any side-effects whether they were minimal or significant.
Psychology suggests that when you already have a negative viewpoint towards something or someone that you are more likely to have a negative reaction to it/them when something happens.
I wonder if a test of giving someone a tetanus injection versus a covid vaccination would result in anything useful as to whether it was a reaction to the particular vaccine or specifically the covid vaccine. Of course, this is unethical so will never happen.
I remember sitting in a function centre waiting for my first vaccination, keen to get it over with. I had no reaction to it all as far as I could tell and it was only the 3rd I think I noticed one. I wonder if I would have looked at my response to the vaccine much more negatively if I was doing it only to keep my job?

"At the pivotal point of Pfizer's vaccine approval in December 2020, there was a gross misrepresentation in what was presented publicly. Instead of the six deaths publicly disclosed, four placebo, two vaccinated, suggesting a benefit of vaccination. There were in fact eleven deaths with more deaths in the vaccinated arm. Six we found undisclosed deaths, especially in the vaccinated arm of this clinical trial, in contravention to legal and ethical obligations of trial sponsors."

The was a placebo group in my trial, which incidentally was sponsored by Dr. Nick Coatsworth. No adverse events in that group.

Conclusions Excess mortality has remained high in the Western World for three consecutive years, despite the implementation of containment measures and COVID-19 vaccines. This raises serious concerns. Government leaders and policymakers need to thoroughly investigate underlying causes of persistent excess mortality.

Just under 140K
The harm they cause in the longer term say in 10 years we do not know.
Going to be difficult to pin it on the covid vax or coming bird flu vax.
Anyone on here up for the bird flu vax.....japie,Sublime,myscreenname?
Might be a free burger and chips in it if you move to New York.
Or if you want to keep your job....

It comes as Dr Nick Coatsworth, the country's former deputy chief medical officer, now the Nine Network's medical expert, said he would not be getting any more Covid vaccines. Speaking to 2GB's Ben Fordham on Wednesday, Dr Coatsworth said he stopped getting vaccinated "about two years ago"."I had three vaccines, and that's been enough for me," he said."Any reason why?" Fordham asked."Because I don't think I need any more, Ben, and the science tells me that I don't," Dr Coatsworth said
You have to ask then why he was so vocal on National TV nearly every day for the Aussie population to roll up their sleeves?

Maybe because he is in his Mid-40s and has been exposed on a regular basis over the past two years, vaccines might not offer much benefit to him?
But three years ago? He also chose to have a full course and get a booster, just like he recommended everyone else.

I was about to just get started with dictionary definition war over this one, but it's easy enough to look up various definitions of Vaccine and Immunity to find the ones that suit your argument best.
There are plenty prior to 2020 that use phrases like "stimulating an immune response by the host, who is thus rendered resistant to infection"
or "used to stimulate the development of antibodies"
I think the bigger issue here is the implied Nirvana fallacy. (comparing actual things with unrealistic, idealized alternatives)
Along the lines "it doesn't produce sterilizing immunity and it's not 100% safe", therefore it can be considered worthless.
In this case, implying its worth is no better than an Anti-histamine or de-congestant for symptom relief.

I never said if we pin Covid on a Lab Leak it will make Covid a non issue.
I'm just tired of the last few years how the media, society, government and certain individuals on here banging on about 'anti-vaxxers'. It's like drivers complaining about cyclists holding up traffic. It's a non issue.
I didn't think that was the case, but it seemed like you were making it out that finding the origins was more important than dealing with it now.
I get the whole name calling fatigue, (bit like "just get vaxxed" 
)
It doesn't progress any discussion (just watch our delightful pollies at work during question time) and just makes it harder for anyone to find any common ground, from which we can then identify genuine differences of opinion rather than tribalistic shouting.
My opinion?
At the moment, due to my family/life/work circumstances, I am concerned that there has been a growing trend in the rejection of medicine based on science and evidence. (not just the distrust garnered over the past 4 years)
And because of this, diseases like measles, whooping cough, influenza, RSV, chicken pox, etc now pose a much bigger danger to me and my family, regardless of what happens with Covid.
I get that for you, this is a non-issue, but please be aware you can't speak for the rest of us.

I can personally vouch for censorship during Covid.
My good friend who said early on in Covid 'I was stupid if I didn't get vaxxed', got his 2nd Pfizer and developed pericarditis within a day. Over a period of weeks he went completely 180 degrees and was livid at what the vax had done to him.
6 months or so later I went to visit him in Busselton for a mandate rally that had about 1500 people at it. My friend was one of the speakers and he eloquently told his story, no BS, just straight up what happened. He asked if I could film his speech on my phone which I did and then he uploaded it onto his YouTube channel. Within 30 minutes, the video was pulled down, it was labelled as misinformation by YouTube and he got a warning. All for telling his story.
Imagine how you would feel. He did the right thing. He got the vax. Then it injures him and society turns against him and makes out he's an anti-vax loon. It's really farked up.

Yep, They tried to keep the schools open for the Spring and Summer, but once autumn rolled around they had to change their policies.
Funny that your link doesn't mention schools staying open any later than mid 2020, I wonder why that is?
