Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt as I’m sure it was a typo.

For once we agree 65 though there is hope coming soon.

Federal bureaucrats turned down an offer from pharmaceutical giant Pfizer in mid-2020 for a detailed meeting with top executives and the Health Minister about the company’s progress on a coronavirus vaccine, as other countries were already on track to signing deals for millions of doses.

Who really thinks dictator DantheMan will ever set us free again?
What used to be the most liveable city is now the most lockdown city in the world. 

Covid doesn’t stop people from getting sick, what will happen when the cases rise after vaccination like they have in Israel and Canada. In Chile population not much different to ours are currently over 70% fully vaccinated. Currently in September approx 5000 infected and approx 200 deaths.
Denmark also 70+ % vaccinated currently just under 10,000 infected.

I’m not against vaccination but I’m skeptical this bloke will be true to his word and give back our freedoms.

Victoria can have 100% vaccination but he will find an excuse to keep us caged and subjugated.

Tig,

Vaccination reduces severity of symptoms (as well as transmission).

Even if we have cases at least most of us won't be in as much danger.

Note that most hospitalised cases aren't vaccinated. From what I can see at work right now there's also lots from ethnic minorities, so you wonder if there's language or cultural components to it also.

This article is misleading considering the TGA had not given its approval for the Pfizer vaccine until October 14th 2020. AstraZeneca was approved on the 9th October 2020 but no media articles or complaints about that vaccine?

https://www.tga.gov.au/covid-19-vaccine-provisional-determinations

How could a deal be fully struck prior to the TGA response?

Unlike other countries we don’t have Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) but the TGA can give provisional approval based on clinical trial data available.

Politicians are NOT medical experts but await advice from the experts. We have seen this the whole way through this pandemic even state by state.

I am one of the few that liked the fact that we actually waited a bit and took our time until more data was available and more phase trails were completed.
As an island nation we could have arranged returned travellers a whole lot better and even waited 2 years (probably unrealistic) and then got a great sense of what the efficacy of each vaccine and looked at all the raw data from the other countries “guinea pigs” that had a more serious pandemic problem than we had at the time.

The article made it sound terrible but it wasn’t that terrible if you look at the real facts and what was happening around the world compared to what we were experiencing here.
