Coronavirus vaccine news

Whats happening at street level in Gladistan?
Tradies back to work.

A lot of young people are really struggling. I'm worried about the long term damage to society from what isolation has done to kids.

Shops are all shut (eg kmart, harvey Norman, shopping centres) office works, bunnings still open.

Police questioning/booking everyone.

Two tier businesses with some doing great (big stores are raking in the cash) while small businesses are smashed. Consumer choice is disappearing.

I get to sit on my arse more with "Its Covid lockdowns" excuse.
 
Mild joint aches today. Surprisingly joint pain was worse in the opposite arm from injection point last night.

Pain behind the eyes.

I was expecting to get a rough 4-6 day run after vax similar to a mild flu cycle.
So far it's just been uncomfortable. Joint pain was the worst.

Unvaccinated man in his 20s died today in Sydney from Covid while in quarantine.
Sounds like he should have been in hospital. Hey, he is young, he will be alright.
I feel sorry for the guy. Too young to be vaccinated.

An unvaccinated 80 year old woman died also.

Yes, very sad, the blood clot headlines are certainly falling away.
 
I'm keeping my eye on this as The Australian and ABC have a different take saying he was really suffering symptoms and he was a fitness freak.

The rhetoric certainly has rotated in the media, from you could die from the vaccine, to you could die if you don't have the vaccine.
That is the benefit of owning the stage, you only have to promote the show, you want to promote. :2twocents

The oldest guy at work who wears a Trump cap sometimes for a stir :) has rotated from no way I am having a vaccine to I am only going to have Pfizor, to yesterday actually getting vaccinated with AZ and saying the government should be making people take it.
Surprised me.

The numbers on AZ vax problems hasn't changed any where in the media maybe a slight rise in Pfizer reported issues,

Haven't heard of an Australian blood clot for a while, maybe they don't happen anymore? Or the incidences have reduced.
Only going off what is in the local Australian papers, SMH, AGE, Guardian, Telegraph, Australian etc. A while back there were clots reported almost daily. It might be because a lot have now been vaccinated, just an observation.
But there appears to now be much more focus on the chance of dying because of not having the vaccine, as opposed to the chance of getting a blood clot, due to having the vaccine.
I guess those that are hesitant, would be looking for positive reinforcement to get the vaccine, so good on the media for giving it to them. ?
It also must be hard to sell a paper, when your market is locked inside?

Interesting you say that.

Recently,one of my neighbours informed me that a mutual friend, following the death of one of her friends, from a blood clotting disorder, is now too frightened to have the AZ.

I don't know whether or not the reported statistics include the deceased on this occasion.

Suffice to say we (as in my friends and neighbour) share suspicions about the possibility that some events may be going unreported.

We will never know, but there is one thing for certain how the media present an issue, has a big bearing on how the public perceive it.
The problem that has persisted, is a lot of the public perceive death from a clot, far exceeds the chances of death from covid.
Really they should have been pushing, this isn't going away, in all probability everyone will either get the vaccine or eventually get covid or something along that narrative.
Would the ones who die from a dose of covid vaccine, die from a dose of actual covid? It will be quite a while before all the results are in and definitive answers are known IMO.
But the World can't go on from lockdown to lockdown indefinitely.
My guess is, there will be booster shots, for a few years to come.
