Apparently there was a mix up in the order after a priest rang through mentioning he wanted pfizer so he could jab the students.Loved this take.
300,000 Additional Vaccines Accidentally Used To Vaccinate St Joseph Students 1,841 Times
View attachment 127215
In what has been described as an ‘administrative error’ the 300,000 additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines which were rushed to NSW this week to deal with the growing outbreak have been used to vaccinate 163 private school students 1,841 times each.
A spokesperson for NSW Health said it was an honest mistake.
“Our intention was for the vaccines to only be used for vulnerable people within the community. But then the guy driving the vaccine truck took a wrong turn and stopped at St Joseph’s College for directions, and when he opened the door to get out, he accidentally knocked the latch on the back of the truck and the vaccines went flying into the arms of 163 boarding students who happened to be seated in a large room nearby. This same sequence of events happened 1,841 times in a row, which means the boys are now very well vaccinated but we don’t have any vaccines left. That’s life. It could happen to anybody really”.
Some experts are concerned the extraordinarily large number of doses per boy may lead to health issues. But the school’s headmaster dismissed those concerns saying the students were well adapted to receiving much more than they needed.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard also dismissed concerns about the error, saying, “there was a mistake. So what? Move on”.
But others within the Liberal Party say the situation is grossly unfair, pointing out that there were dozens of other private schools who had missed out as a result.

Maybe expecting the Johnston & Johnston one?Apparently there was a mix up in the order after a priest rang through mentioning he wanted pfizer so he could jab the students.
Too far?
Great news, I'm surprised Malcolm couldn't get into the photo shoot, the ABC must have been rushing to meet the deadline. ?Interesting insight into COVID vaccine politics today. It seems that a senior Australian businessman asked Kevin Rudd to encourage Pfizer to bring forward supplies of their vaccine.
Well documented story on the ABC News site. Clever effective diplomacy. Instructive to read the letters, the way Rudd managed the situation and the effect of previous Scomo negotiations on the Pfizer management.
Senior business figures turned to former PM Kevin Rudd to intervene in bringing forward Australia's Pfizer vaccine supply

The bringing forward of millions of Pfizer vaccine doses last week followed a back channels intervention eight days earlier by a high-powered network which included a senior business figure despairing of the government's failure to secure enough vaccine supplies, and a former prime minister.
Days before Scott Morrison announced earlier Pfizer vaccine supplies, Kevin Rudd met with the Pfizer chairman
Former prime minister Kevin Rudd contacted Pfizer chairman and chief executive Albert Bourla directly at the end of June to see if anything could be done to expedite the delivery of vaccines to Australia.www.abc.net.au

I'm concerned. (and the rest..) This new strain is far more contagious than the earlier variants. Knocking it back into it's box seems a very formidable task given the number of people who have developed the illness and have been in the community.
Fast vaccination is the most effective response but unless the government manages to get AstoZeneca vaccine accepted by millions of people that doesn't seem possible for at least 3-4 months.
Back to thoughts and prayers...
Yeah appears to be fake news but the propaganda is out now.FWIW
Yeah appears to be fake news but the propaganda is out now.
I'm in no way defending scomo (who seems from an observers point of view gone missing the last few weeks).Propaganda indeed.
Clearly there was no way ScoMo was going to allow any suggestion that he wasn't behind the bringing forward of Pfizer doses.
And Keven Rudd was at absolute pains to point out that the only way decisions would be made would be through formal government channels. So of course if/when there was any change in possible supply dates it had to be on a government to business basis. He was just smoozing.
And in any case we know how much of a stickler this government is on proper process and ensuring no undue influence on government purchases of business services/products.
And it does appear that The luveees have swallowed the propaganda.I'm in no way defending scomo (who seems from an observers point of view gone missing the last few weeks).
But I trust Rudd as much as the Labor party do.
The story gave the feel that Rudd saved the day.
Astro Zeneca is a very good vaccine. We have a ton of it on hand. It is (much) cheaper than Pfizer .
We should be using it as far and as fast as possible.
I'm surprised that Kev and Mal haven't applied to be on survivor, Big Brother, or I'm and idiot get me out of here.I'm in no way defending scomo (who seems from an observers point of view gone missing the last few weeks).
But I trust Rudd as much as the Labor party do.
The story gave the feel that Rudd saved the day.
Yet another series of false claims peddled by @pozindustrial who quotes from the totally debunked mercola website."So, in a nutshell, while vaccine makers, health authorities, mainstream media, social media platforms like Facebook and public advertisements tell you the vaccine has undergone rigorous testing, has been “approved” and is safe and effective, none of those claims are true."

Tread carefully with experimental drugs that have been heavily marketed by vested interests. A vaccine has never been the only answer but they will certainly bring incredible wealth to the companies that market them so that is how they are promoted. I do not believe the propaganda from governments and drug companies and I certainly do not believe the risks from a vaccine are worth it, especially knowing that they are not tested for long-term problems.
Further to your article Bas, as you say the AZ is becoming more acceptable as time moves on, one has to wonder why the very small percentage of bad reactions caused such a major public reaction.The best vaccine is the one available now.
NSW Premier and Health officials have "re evaluated" the risks around the AstroZeneca vaccine. New story is do it now ASAP.
Big change to NSW Covid-19 vaccine rollout
NSW Health authorities have made a big change to their risk assessment of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
.....But on Monday, as NSW recorded a mammoth 112 new community cases of Covid-19, Dr Chant said the Delta variant had changed everything.
“The AstraZeneca discussion, we have always felt best to have with a health professional that understands your clinical background and circumstances. Your GP fits that mould,” she said.
“...Under the current situation, because we actually have Covid and the Delta strain circulating, it then means that your individual risk of acquiring the strain is very much different than it would have been a month or so ago when the community risk would have been very low.”
Big change to AZ ‘risk situation’
The AstraZeneca vaccine will now be available to anyone over the age of 40 at mass vaccination hubs across New South Wales.www.news.com.au
