      Let's not forget that when the pandemic occurred Qantas refused to refund customers for their cancelled flights. They forced customers to take vouchers that they make impossible to redeem because you need to wait on the phone for 8 hours to redeem them. Will never use them again if I can avoid it.

      • ScottyAU on 23/08/2021 - 14:45

        Yes, because it would have been better for them to run out of cash and go into administration like many other airlines… at which time the administrators could well decide not to honour your fully-paid bookings at all.

        I didnt have an issue getting a refund if Qantas canceled the flight, but it took a while to be processed. If you cancelled it before they did then you had to take a voucher.

      Vaccination doesn't reduce the risk of getting COVID onboard to zero but it does reduce it significantly for Qantas' paying customers. Qantas should be applauded for encouraging a safe (as possible) environment for their customers.

                  The following passage is also from your link.

                  "However, like other variants, the amount of virus produced by Delta breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated people also goes down faster than infections in unvaccinated people. This means fully vaccinated people are likely infectious for less time than unvaccinated people."

The more % of people vaccinated, the higher the % of people who die will be vaccinated people, as there are now much less unvaccinated people, simple maths.

                                1 - cars are invented without seatbelts and people die crashing them.
                                2 - all cars must now make it mandatory to wear a seatbelt. Still those not wearing them die more than those who do.
                                3 - Now the % of people wear a seat belt with exceed those who don't but millions more cars than there were originally were around and those who end of dying with a belt on exceed the small number of people when cars were first invented without seat belts, but significantly LESS than if we all didn’t wear a belt

                                Plenty of articles around explaining the maths of statistical % and shift.

                    If you think that it means you can't read. Also, it's not my theory, it is from the CDC

                    I am vaccinated. Why does every discussion on this topic revert to pro-vax/anti-vax? The vaccine will not stop the spread, and if we open up after 70-80% vaccine rate, we will end up with more cases. So assuming the vaccine will protect you from infection is not supported by any data anywhere. You only have to see the 30,000 daily cases in the heavily vaccinated UK to understand this.

                    The following passage is also from your link.

    Great work Qantas. As soon as everyone has had the opportunity to get vaccinated, I hope non-vaccinated people are denied entry to cinemas, concerts, sporting events, etc. People have a right not to get vaccinated (and this will continue) but other people (the majority) have a right to not be exposed to these higher-risk individuals.

    • DATApush3r on 23/08/2021 - 08:49

      I totally and completely agree with your general sentiment about incentivizing vaccination but in regard to this:

      As soon as everyone has had the opportunity to get vaccinated

      Has everyone had the opportunity to get vaccinated? Maybe that is true in the US as they are jabbing people left right and centre. But here in AU, that's just not the case and never has been until 4 or 5 days ago that Australia to opened Pfizer jabs to 16 to 39 year olds.

          This. Particularly given many, many of them qualified and claimed JobKeeper based on their FORECASTED earnings rather than their ACTUAL - and as it turns out 2020 was an excellent year for many businesses as people used their disposable income on other items. Yet businesses like Harvey Norman and Premier Investments (Just Jeans etc) are keeping the money despite posting massive profit increases, paying dividends, executive bonuses etc. At least Qantas actually needed the money.

                Symptoms of permanent lung damage and other side effects such as loss of taste and constant fatigue plus possible death from suffocation. 100% real and are facts.

                OR

                Remotely possible symptoms in the future from vaccine. Pure speculation.

                Take your pick. And yeah, I know which one I'm betting on.

                  @Erkel: Go for it then buddy. You are in Sydney so really don't have much of a choice. Let me know how the next 1/2 yearly booster shots go for you.

                    @Beeker: Man even got you looking up my location, this is too good. I won't even remember you tomorrow, but you obviously got pretty worked up, so feel free to dm me in 6 months to see how I'm doing.

                    You don't need to wait for me to let you know, you'll see it on the news and everywhere when I get more access to facilities and privileges than unvaccinated people.

        What difference does it make if someone else has been vaccinated or not to you?

        If a person vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (e.g. Pfizer) does get infected, they are less likely to transmit it to others.

        The Cairns pilot who caught the Delta strain earlier this month was vaccinated, but according to Dr Young he had a low viral load so his own family members did not get infected.

        The less people are vaccinated, the more covid circulates, the more likely we will have “breakthrough cases” as they’re calling them.

        Anything less than 100% vaccination is not good enough, and unlikely to return us to normal life.

          worse, the less people are vaccinated, the more chance for additional mutations….

          Vaccination reduces this risk.

        It's called herd immunity for a reason.

          That's True.
          but im afraid there is no such thing as herd immunity for a flu-like virus or RNA virus since they mutate too quickly
          So to answer your statement, there isn't going to be any herd immunity for Covid, we need to live with it like we previously lived with the flu

          And how is it called when you choose to remain vulnerable to a deadly virus despite having the vaccine available?

          Is "stupidity" good enough or we should create a more elaborated term?

            @this is us: Studies show that 900 million of Indians (68%) have had this deadly, as you call it, virus.
            They survived, most of them actually were not affected by this deadly virus to even go and get tested.

              @[Deactivated]: (profanity) me if you're using India as an example, with their mass graves because of all the deaths they suffered, you're beyond help.

              Enjoy the COVID and the taxpayer funded ventilator you'll be needing.

              Yes. It's deadly.

            @this is us: Flu is deadly too, although it seems it magically doesn't kill people anymore! Isn't that amazing?
            The term I'd use is choice.

              @Maledetto999: And I support people's right to make their own decisions. That's why I think we should define a deadline, hopefully end of October, to accept that some people don't want to get vaccinated.

              Once everyone had the chance to get the vaccine, we should open borders, stop lockdowns, and keep recommendations, not rules.

              Businesses should be free to implement their own rules as well as its in their own interest to have people moving around and spending money. I don't think it's discriminatory in any way to offer benefits to those who are vaccinated. It's business… It's like offering a discount to fathers on father's day, or to health workers during the pandemic, etc.

              The main problem here is that the unvaccinated will end up in hospital, the health system won't cope and leaders will eventually step back and use lockdown again. Therefore, everyone will be again paying for those who don't want to get vaccinated.

            • anna10 on 28/08/2021 - 17:16

              @Maledetto999: That is because since we all locked down and started washing your hands and wear a mask people are not catching the flu. That’s the amazing part.

        No one ever said vaccination was a cure, nor is there anything stating that you won't catch it whilst vaccinated. Hospitalisations and death is what vaccinations will definitely help with.

        What then are you suggesting will help us out of this pandemic, if not vaccination? Our immune systems?

        'Biggest medical experiment'? You know reseearch and testing of mRNA vaccines has been going on for decades now right?

        • Maledetto999 on 23/08/2021 - 09:25

          prove me they have been tested on humans before
