          Yes, it needs 10 years for approval and you can't speed up that process, it's impossible, no matter how much someone says it's urgent, it needs testing and you can't rush the testing to see long term side effects, time is needed.

              @Gehirn: In all other vaccines side effects have shown within 10 years time, there's a reason why the time frame is set to 10 years. Sometimes in some rare cases it has been expanded up to 15 years if close to the end of the testing trials some worrying results have been happening so then the time has been extended to see if those how much more the number of cases would rise over longer time period.

                  @Gehirn: Mate, you can mock me all you want, facts are facts and that's it, there's a reason for long time testings.

                  Quick example:

                  We're laughing stock of the world. NSW has had only around 10.000-11.000 cases since start of Covid-19 and only 82 dead.

                  While from influenza (flu) in 2017 we had 529 dead in, nsw.

                  2019 we had 112.000 flu infections and 312 dead in NSW . Did anyone know about that? Was it reported, ,posted, mentioned everywhere you turned, were you in Lockdown, sent home to isolate for 2 weeks and not work coz you had flu? No, wonder why 😂

                  all other vaccines side effects have shown within 10 years time, there's a reason why the time frame is set to 10 years. Sometimes in some rare cases it has been expanded up to 15 years if close to the end of the testing trials some worrying results have been happening so then the time has been extended to see if those number of cases would rise over longer time period or not, that would again determine approval of the vaccine.you can't rush things. what for example Pfizer is doing with fda and as they call it "accelerating" (their word, not mine) the Covid-19 vaccine approval is just laughable and criminal. you can't accelerate it, you can't just take the needed time and cut it to 10 times less, it's impossible.

                    We are the laughing stock because we have done relatively well containing it? Okay…

                    Wonder why? The why is because of how easy covid spreads.

Flu is easily spreadable also, 112.000 went to hospital to ask for help, have been recorded. maybe we had around 500.000 flu cases but most did what we mostly do when we get flu, get meds, drink tea, lemon, ginger, keep warm and wait few days to go away :)

          If you are referring to the covid "vaccines" then they have only been approved provisionally subject to the completion of clinical trials. Normally people would be paid and insured to participate in the trials and they would take many years. This time you will be the free guinea pig that helps to complete this process.

                              And yes, if were talking about australia, the flu is more deadly. Outside australia, yes more deadly, but it still kills thousands of people. Are you saying theres a line where we should care and where we shouldnt?

                    @ldq: Well, no, it's not indistinguishable if you are using reported statistics. Your only argument would be that reporting is not accurate. Unvaccinated, and admittedly underdeveloped, countries are up around 2% or higher. Vaccinated countries like Singapore are down to 0.05% now.

                      @incipient: I said "mortality profile" not "death rate". The rate may be higher than normal but these are not unusual deaths, the same people that die every day in droves are allocated to covid. That's why I keep saying that even if covid is not a hoax it is indistinguishable from a hoax.

                        @ldq: Haha got me on a technicality of English! Well done. Ok yes I see what you mean.

                        In a lot of countries people are only being assigned as a covid death if they get a positive result, but in a lot of countries people can't get tested so they're not counted. This also means the number of cases is too low also.

                        Currently in the states they're seeing massive rises in young people getting sick and dying.

                        Globally averaged data shows it's not a hoax. It's just not a hoax. Some people don't have the critical reasoning skills to analyse data, so stop using yours in detrimental ways.

                        The only argument I will give some very loose credibility to is long term effects of vaccination.

Over what is in all honesty, at worst just a bad flu. Why don't we go back to our normal course of action for the flu and do nothing or even multiply this effort two-fold? How about some prudent inaction?

                            @ldq: My home country tried your approach of going back to normal (too early) and being highly complacent with their "lockdowns". I think about 18,000 people died so far; their population size and quality of medical care are the same as Australia.

                            Yes, the circumstances aren't pretty, especially for those cut off from family (me), but burying your head in the sand and pretending it was all a bad dream does not fix that.

                        You just linked me to side effects of the vaccine. No body is scared of side effects that goes away in 2 days mate. You are scaring people with how it might be unsafe and we don't know enough and how it's not tested thoroughly enough. You have nothing to back that.

        Our government did not take shortcuts, and vaccines here have been through thorough approval processes. If you do not understand these processes, or how clinical trials are able to demonstrate whether vaccines are safe, you should listen to those who do rather than proclaim misinformed opposite views.

        • ldq on 10/08/2021 - 12:56

          This is nonsense, the approval process is just a paperwork review which is fair enough, as the TGA would not have the ability to independently test everything. The current approval is PROVISIONAL. The clinical trials have not been completed, and therefore there is no way for them demonstrate anything.

          "Our government did not take shortcuts" - you do know that AZ is NOT approved by the FDA for use in the United States? Although the U.S are all over the shop they at-least did not put all their eggs in one basket. I don't feel that I'm anti-vax, but knowing the vaccines have been approved under Emergency Use Authorizations I'd rather wait and see rather than jump straight on based on what the government is spinning.

            @ldq: Sort of.

            I'm suggesting that if there are side effects.
            and IF, they are severe enough to bother even discussing.
            Then, the entire world will be focused on fixing them.
            If we're unable to?
            Then I stand alongside my brothers and sisters, who all put ourselves on the line for what was percieved as for the good of our species.

            Being 'right' doesn't mean your actions are just.
            Ask anybody who put their lives on the line in times of crisis; survivors guilt is one hell of a crippling condition.

            For a lot of our millenials or GenZ, this is the first global crisis they've seen.
            They didnt see smallpox, polio or true wars.

            There are a lot who feel like they're 'entitled to their way'. They've not previously had to learn how a society is made.

            You build a good society by having moral people sacrifice, to create a better experience for the whole.
            There is a corrupt few, who expect the whole to sacrifice, to create a better experience for the singular.
            It's basic supervillain plot.

            They're welcome to this view, but it's immoral to be expected to be considered part of society anymore.

              @MasterScythe: I have to agree with one of the points you have made. The young view this as a major crisis and this creates an insanely skewed outlook. The pettiness of covid has been bothering me for quite a while. This is not a war, not a serious disease with people actually dropping dead, not an asteroid crash. It's none of the scary Hollywood stuff we've seen. It is not even what I have been through - the collapse of the USSR which caused many more millions of direct and indirect lives lost than anyone will ever have the gall to allocate to covid. The whole affair is basically a world-wide theatre production of Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes".

              I totally reject your quasi-religious morality narrative. There is no moral superiority in the covid cult. It is driven by personal fear and nothing else. All the eager jabbinators just want to save their pathetic life. Yet there enough of them to claim that they are the society and they think they have the right to impose their tyranny upon people who are mature enough to deal with their own fear of death. The fearful are the selfish ones, the corrupt ones and they want to literally sacrifice the whole world, the future of humanity to alleviate their petty fears. You basically said this - you are happy to potentially enjoy severe side effects among your cultist brothers and sisters, you would be happy with a collective suicide and would like the size of your cult to be as close to 100% as possible. Who is the a supervillian here?

                @ldq:

                Yet there enough of them to claim that they are the society

                If they're the majority, then, yes, they are 'the society'. That's not really a debatable topic, that's more a literal definition.
                You're welcome to reject my morals, that's toally within your power, but just expect society to reject you in return, because they align (mostly) with the majority.

                Interestingly, as a healthy person, I was never fearful for my life. Honetly.
                I was feareful that I might carry it, and end someone elses (mostly, my elderly parents).
                So whiel your suggestion that vaccination is driven by 'personal fear' may be correct (I don't want to lose my parents), the idea that it's based purely to save your own life, is very flawed.

                Honestly mate, the fact that you can rate the importance of someones life, and call it 'pathetic', purely because they're doing something they believe will save anyone (even if it is just them) should really be something to reflect on.

                  Life in fear is pathetic, and you are welcome to do whatever you like to save yourselves as long as you don't step on other's toes. Stepping on those toes and claiming that you represent the society is truly sickening.

                    I aknowledged that. I just pointed out that the fear came solely from saving ones one life is a flawed accusation.

                    you are welcome to do whatever you like to save yourselves as long as you don't step on other's toes.

                    Agree 100%
                    And THAT is precicely why anti-vaxx people are hated on, so much.

                    They're convinced that they're saving themselves, or others; and that bit is their right, perhaps they are?
                    But, they're wanting to be allowed into a society (read: majority) which wishes everyone to be vaccinated.
                    Ergo, stepping on the collective comfort of thousands. Sorry, as you said, stepping others toes is not OK.

                    Life in fear is pathetic
