Get first in line for a free dose, they may even pay you.

Beware, ur life is more precious than the free trial unless u r at covid final stage
You don't give vaccine to someone at final stage. Vaccination is given to boost the body's immune system to prevent infection. Not to cure the infected body itself
It’s called tax, nothing is free.
It is free for low-income workers and the unemployment.
free for all as dental should be
@abuch47: NSW have public dental.
https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/oralhealth/Pages/public-oral-h…
In NSW, public dental services are provided to children and eligible adults.For adults, the eligibility criteria means they must have one or more of the following cards:
Commonwealth Seniors Health Card,
Health Card, or
Pensioner Concession Card.
@Miss B: It is free or uber subsidised in Vic, but your teeth will be well and truly dust before you get work done
For now, if they ever amount to something as they should, then they'll be paying it back in the future. That's why we have a welfare system, not so that people can mooch off the hard-working for the rest of their lives but to support them during times of hardship.
tax
rejoice
you'd be surprised how many people think the gov just prints money.
We'd still be paying the same amount of tax on everything if we didn't have free health care regardless.
Wait, you are saying SoMo secretly sold off the mint during this recession? So he screwed up both the bush fire and covid response, so much so that the states now ignore him, he keeps known, morally challenged people in positions of power and now he has given away our golden goose for an undisclosed amount?
Got any links to back your claim up?
Bulk bill.
That's what Medicare is for.
If you don't have Medicare, pay for whatever is asked.
yeap, need to add $0 as option

I'd pay twice that much.
That is the same joke you replied to, doc.
If I had 100% trust in one and could start traveling again safely and also avoid any quarantine requirements/costs? Probably a few hundred =p
That's a good point. That's the biggest impact I think for a lot of people at the moment.
+1
I would see it as a travel expense, like a visa etc. Is it still worth the trip if I need a vaccine? If so, I'd pay for it.No way I'd pay $0.01 otherwise.
+1 it would be another travel expense to get back to business travel.
If it meant bypassing quarantine then yeah it would be worth the spend given the current costs to isolate\quarantine at entry to countries.Would they accept Qantas points?
But seriously: in exchange for the right to travel internationally unhindered by quarantine rules? To me, that's worth at least a couple of grand. I've already written off four major overseas trips this year.

I'm in the super high risk category.
If it's confirmed that it's effective, I'd pay whatever. Having money is pointless without a life!
Having a life with no money won't last long nor be any fun.
You are exactly the type of person who should NOT have to pay and be prioritised when an effective vaccine is available. We live in Australia, not the land of the free…
If our taxes are used to subsidise bank profits by this mob, they should allocate WHATEVER it takes to making these vaccines available for free, en masse and prioritise the people most at risk. I have confidence they will, even if it does take some steering from the opposition, which I suspect they will.
Honestly, same (yay for lifetime glandular + pre-MS….)
Would like to see the world before the really shitty symptoms kick in
Probably a question better posed to a US forum given it'll be free in Aust.

The vaccine would be available to the American people at no cost.
Interesting. So out of character for US health care.
It was their way of apologizing for the last 4 years :P
That’s unadulterated communism. I doubt a single Republican voter would accept a free vaccine as it’s simply not the American way, and quite likely would open the floodgates to rampant socialised healthcare, which in turn would spell the end of American freedom.
@Ozpit: Exactly any freebies in healthcare will destroy their economy, there's no coming back from that, can't have a healthy population, that's nuts!
An America once tried to convince me once that Medicare was tanking the Australian economy, lol, needless to say, he didn't like the fact I presented on medicare.
You missed the bit that says "As is customary with government-purchased vaccines, healthcare professionals could charge insurers for the cost of administering the vaccine."
As mentioned by apsilon; the vaccine is supposed to be free in Australia.
Yeah mate, also you're saving money because the vaccine itself is gonna be super expensive once Bill Gates adds his nanochip technology into it. That shit aint cheap.
Stop spreading disinfo about our tech-overlords.
Nah, that’s just the media being hypocrites because the preferred candidate of Wall Street, the global corporations and the coastal elites won. If Trump won the media would be screeching about it.
Biden warned they are “facing a very dark winter” and didn’t he also previously suggest a national mask mandate?
If you're going to lie, why stop there? There are multiple shots of them wearing masks and Joe Biden will indeed be introducing a mask mandate.
Get off 4chan with your Q conspiracy theories.
@dchoj: He isn’t lying if he believes it.
Besides, there were hundreds of thousands of people celebrating throughout that country and not social distancing as evidenced by multiple videos, the mask claims might seem far fetched however even if only 2% of those people didn’t wear them that would make his claim of thousands of people correct, albeit they would be spread over various events around the country.If you don’t think the media would have screeched about social distancing if that was at a Trump event you must be living under a rock, or lying to yourself. I’m not a trump fan and even I can see the media bias.
@mapax: Trump events are organised by the trump campaign. Spontaneous celebrations in the street aren't organised by the Biden campaign.
Did the democrats invent the virus to put Melbourne in lockdown too?
Did Hillary clinton have 20,000 people killed in Milan to scare voters in the US?
Why do you believe these ridiculous Republican party talking points. Living outside the US it should be obvious it is thdm who are trying to control people
Too late for that. The nanochip Bill Gates put out has already been implanted in all of us via 5G. Dare I say one should also be concerned about Autism due to this vaccine.
Last I checked the CCP has already infused their 5G tech into the vaccine so they can spy on you
Lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Do you think I held back my true opinions too much?
I think you should avail yourself of the opportunities we have in Australia and get a mental health check.
Lol, have a poz.
People may laugh, but you aren't wrong. If people will take a mandatory vaccine for something as mild as covid, it sets a dangerous precedent.
The GP in the other thread even says he won't take it, not enough testing time.
Have the mind controlling nano-bots had enough time to charge all the way up?
No one is worried about nano bots, or mind control.
Mild? You would benefit from availing yourself of the copious peer-reviewed data concerning the number of deaths and continuing illness as a result of Covid-19.
I have, hence the rating of "mild".
I don't know why you are getting downvoted to hell. There is something fishy going on with everything.
I'm not unwise to post on a public forum though.Because there isn't. How come noone with an education has any of these concerns?
Dude you need to read more Facebook posts.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
Why are you using modern technology to spout bullshit, instead of living in a mud hut in the bush?
Look - a lunatic in the wild!
Fetch the butterfly nets!
Already paid with my taxes :/
We all know you don't pay any taxes.
perhaps i do… wink wink if the ATO is watching
crap, they are on to us… ABORT ABORT!!!!!
Vitamin D tablets are the way to go
$0.
There is no Covid vaccine 😷This.. also why is everyone so happy about 90%? What about the rest 10%?
90% is way above the effectiveness level required to suppress community spread. Very few vaccines are 100%. If 9 out of 10 people can't catch it then the virus would need to be far more contagious to maintain a foothold int he community.
No vaccine is perfect.
If 90% of the 'herd' gets 'immunity' from the vaccine, the virus should die out and the 10% are then safe.
It also depends on how infectious the disease is.
$0
My taxes will be used to subsidize the big pharma to purchase the vaccines either way, so I guess I will be involuntary paying for it anyway.
It should and most probably will be free.
If we have no community transmission why do we need the vaccine? If you fly to a country with no cases say NZ should be no issues. By the time international travel starts again the virus might be gone?
Why on earth would you ask rational questions like that?
Are you some kind of science-denying, grandma-murdering, selfish Nazi or something?
anti-vaxxer!!! /s
What do you mean gone? Do you think that the virus is just spending some time abroad and going back to Mars after Christmas?
This virus won't be gone, it will just be contained by vaccines. The same as for measles, tb, hepatitis, etc.
The virus won't be gone for years if ever. unless you want Australia to stay shutoff from the world for the next decade at least then we need a vaccine.
Govt only has 10 million of these Pfizer ones on order. Two doses per person to become vaccinated = only 5 million people are going to get vaccinated. The rest of us?
You've got some special mental gymnastics skills if you think all 25million Aussies are all in the age bracket to be vulnerable or exposed to the risk of transmission.
Clearly we are. We all got locked down.
We are all vulnerable and all exposed to the risks of transmission.
I don't know what you are on about.
You seem to be saying in an extremely poor fashion that only some people have their life threatened by this. That is also clearly obvious!!!
I was pointing out that 20 million people are going to miss out.
Since you mentioned the lockdown. Here is a latest study published in the Lancet.That same Lancet study, as interpreted by a Sebastian Rushworth MD, also says there is no proof that lockdowns work
Lockdown and covid deaths. The authors found no correlation whatsoever between severity of lockdown and number of covid deaths. And they didn’t find any correlation between border closures and covid deaths either. And there was no correlation between mass testing and covid deaths either, for that matter. Basically, nothing that various world governments have done to combat covid seems to have had any effect whatsoever on the number of deaths.
@frewer: Come on! I have been against Dan's lockdown in Vic for many reasons, but "lockdown doesn't change covid deaths" is not one of them. Lockdown can't be the only solution, but that's obvious that if you keep people locked in their homes you reduce transmission, and deaths.
It's like setting a speed limit of 20 km/h on the roads to decrease the number of motor vehicle accidents. Of course that's gonna work and people are unlikely to die even if they manage to crash at 20km/h, but that's not a reasonable long-term solution for the problem, the reason why we combine speed limits of 100km/h with seat belts and air-bags, and accept that some people will die due to car accidents anyway.
No proof that lockdowns work doesn't mean they don't, but that there are no well designed studies showing that they work, or that they are cost effective.
We have to understand that we can't compare Australia with Sweden or Belgium, as we can't compare Australia with the US or Brazil. These are all distinct countries in totally different circumstances geographically, politically, and economically.
Australia is one of the few countries which apparently has the cheating code for infinite money in this game. No one else can afford that… In most other countries, if people don't work they don't see the money, they don't pay the bills, they don't eat, they often don't have access to health care. Therefore, lockdown is not an option for them, but that's not because lockdown doesn't change death rate.
In a few years time, we will look back and analyse what the countries did during the pandemic, and
hopefullywe will learn with that. With all the data, we will be able to elaborate decent studies and compare the results to define what was actually effective.
give all that to the medical professionals first, elderly and high risk people second. everyone else must wait.
