Yes, definitively and it could go on for years well past the covid19 crisisI thought a separate thread for vaccine developments may be appropriate.

Untill it gets high jacked and becomes another Trump thread.I thought a separate thread for vaccine developments may be appropriate.

On balance I am vehemently against such a notion, *especially* with the currently rushed program.
Horace, I can't remember whether it was the cmo or his deputy has muted some measures which would make it functionally mandatory, ie, no travel, either interstate or international, no restaurants, no welfare payments and so on.
Which begs the question is how would they ascertain whether someone has had the vaccination or not. Additionally, someone who has already acquired immunity from being infected with the virus obviously do not need the vaccination, what then?
Are they going to put a tattoo on forehead, insert a chip, perhaps a branding (I can make them if anyone interested lol)?
This government's totalitarian wet dreams are seriously concerning in my opinion.
that's a bit low tech. As long as each state issues its own, that will preserve the status quo of travel restrictions.Presumably you would get some sort of certificate like a drivers license which you would carry around.

Not aware of anyone saying any of the vaccines will be a silver bullet (other than politicians) but would expect most to offer some protection and any released in Australia to be safe and have some level efficacy but not 100%.
One point I do wonder about is when the virus causes the over reaction of the immune system that ends up killing the patient if a vaccine would protect against this happening.
the big question is could a vaccine cause an over reaction ?
I have never had the flu, neither has my wife, for that reason we have never had the flu vaccine.
Of our friends, 5 get the flu vaccine every year, 4 out of 5 get sick each year about 10-14 days later, the other one doesn't.......... weird !!
One of my brothers used to work at a professional football club(AFL). All the staff were given free flu shots. One assistant coach refused it saying he never gets sick.the big question is could a vaccine cause an over reaction ?

Alternatively, it might be simpler to employ the already tried and tested method of making, all unwelcome (i.e. non vaccinated) members of the populace, wear a yellow star!!
My CSL bet has not gone bad so far.Barcode.
Just stamp everyone's wrist with a barcode in the way nightclubs stamp wrists at the door. Use permanent ink. No Stamp No Entry.
More seriously - putting aside the arguments for or against it being developed and whether vaccination is compulsory or not, does anyone have thoughts about companies which could benefit from this in any way?
I'm thinking if someone's licensed to produce it in Australia?
Or the possibility that there's some mass immunisation program - does that create demand for anything else that's likely to be supplied by listed companies?
Nor would anyone sane enough and not antiwaxerso if the testing is done properly I won't hesitate
