                    @DogGunn: Unless everyone got their second dose in the last 3 months it makes very little sense.

                    • DogGunn on 16/10/2021 - 14:25

                      @locknuts: Most people are though.

                      Regardless, it is clear that it is to entice people to get vaccinated, as well as to stop an overload of unvaccinated hospitalisations. Cases are about to explode as expected.

        • SBOB on 15/10/2021 - 23:07

          Except that getting vaccinated doesn't stop you from spreading covid.

          But does it reduce the likelihood…
          You continue to work in absolutes, but unlikely you apply the same to any other medicine or real life safety device.

          • ATangk on 16/10/2021 - 00:00

            @SBOB: If youre at home, the likelihood of spreading is zero as is your risk.

            If you're out and about, the likelihood may be reduced compared to someone doing the same thing, but its infinitely higher than not having any risk at all.

            @SBOB: It's a possibility.

            But when you have so many vaccinated people with waning effectiveness, it doesn't make sense to exclude those unvaccinated(especially when they're interacting with each other outside the venue).

            Those unvaccinated who have had covid before could be less infectious than those who are vaccinated.

            In the end, authorities have already said covid is here to stay(I'd guess most people already knew that) so the likelihood of spreading covid is pointless.

            Not even Victoria's long and strict long down is stopping the cases.

        • maverickjohn on 16/10/2021 - 07:23

            But as seen in other countries like Israel and Singapore, cases are surging despite their vaccination rates.

                                And vaccination is the wrong way to look it at, it should be whether you're immune or not.

                                Excluding people on a virus that is here to stay anyway and that can interact with other people outside the venue is ridiculous anyway, unless your reason is to coerce them.

        Getting more people into closed areas than otherwise would have been if they charged a fee does increase the spread, does it not, at least from the pro-vaxxer perspective.

      Vaccinations may reasonably be temporarily deferred for individuals with some acute major medical
      conditions (e.g. undergoing major surgery or hospital admission for a serious illness). Typically, these are
      time-limited conditions (or the medical treatment for them is time limited) and therefore temporary exemptions
      are considered appropriate. These exemptions are only to be given where a suitable alternative COVID-19
      vaccine is not readily available for the individual; all COVID-19 brands must be selected on the medical
      exemption (IM011) form.
      • For an mRNA COVID-19 vaccines this includes: Inflammatory cardiac illness within the past 6
      months, e.g., myocarditis, pericarditis, endocarditis; acute rheumatic fever or acute rheumatic heart
      disease (i.e., with active myocardial inflammation); or acute decompensated heart failure
      • For all COVID-19 vaccines: ATAGI recommends that vaccination can be deferred in those with PCRconfirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection until complete recovery from the acute illness (which may be up to
      6 months), regardless of disease severity. Chronic symptoms following COVID-19 ("Long COVID”) is
      not a contraindication to COVID-19 vaccines, but does warrant a clinical discussion with the patient.
      • For all COVID-19 vaccines: Serious adverse event attributed to a previous dose of a COVID-19
      vaccine and without another cause identified.

      Because they recognise it's discrimination. And discrimination is only ok when it's against people who make informed decisions based upon facts and evidence after hours/days/months of investigation and careful consideration.

      You only get bribe… uh, I mean, rewarded… if you blindly follow government and "health" officials nonsensical claims without question. Those same trustworthy "experts" who gifted a generation of babies with no arms from Thalidomide, and faulty cobalt hip implants alike which continued for months after they were known for causing tissue necrosis in the USA, are the third-leading cause of patient deaths, and the list goes on… oh, along with government itself which couldn't organise a successful meet-n-greet in a swingers club.

    It’s really disappointing to see a lot of anti-vax comments on this post. How can so many people ignore the advice and research from so many health professionals and scientists worldwide? The notion that it’s some kind of power trip or conspiracy is laughable. Clearly none of you have ever worked on a group project before if you think that there could possibly be that level of cooperation and collusion worldwide.

          Why are they making people who already had covid and recovered take the vaccine? Its a known fact that the antibodies made by your body after getting infected is 5 to 6x as strong as the vax. So why do they also need to vax to get a vaccine passport to participate in society? Seems like noone on the internet can answer that.

            @Chchnu: Not sure if you are trolling, stupid or just selfish.

            Some people can't get vaccines because they have other medical illnesses that put them at high risk of complications. These people also would likely have poorer outcomes if getting covid.

            Elderly people are also likely to do poorly if they get covid given they will have multiple other illnesses.

            The question is not why you should have to get a vaccine (I. E. To provide herd immunity and protect yourself as well as others) but why are you so resistant to doing the decent thing. Giving back to society etc.

            Here is the answer to your question regarding why previous covid positive people need vaccines.

          • Team America on 16/10/2021 - 17:48

            @Chchnu: I'm not sure why people act like mainstream media is such a bad thing. Mainstream for all sorts of fields implies credibility, high levels of training, higher levels of resources and contacts. The mainstream media can contact and interview any doctor or virologist in the world. These other media outlets would have to make an appointment with their GP to get an actual doctors opinion on something.

        Though Russell Brand isn't exactly a source for all things wise and astute…he definitely produces content knowing exactly the audience he is trying to appeal to. He is a performer. He regularly offers little self thought and in recent times has been posting videos that covid deniers just lap up, with YouTube algorithm worthy titles but little in the way of content that would do more than just repeat talking points

          But you have crossed the Rubicon, which may go a long way towards explaining it.

            @Global Nomad: "Exactly what in his article was in any way anti vax/ anti covid related?"

            The American system is incredibly broken as it's almost entirely politician for $. No arguments there. Though unsure how it relates to free entry into an Australian museum. Unless they have an American politics section, but that's a long stretch for relevancy.

            But I'm unsure what facts and truth bombs you think that video is dropping?

            Though, I can probably find a video from other comedians that are incredibly pro vaccine.
            Should I post one of those to refute any other comedians you follow who may have anti vaccine routines?

              @SBOB: What did you think of his recent video on vaccine apartheid and how it relates to free entry into an Australian museum? Seems to raise many interesting talking points supported with facts.

              The Australian system is basically no different…

        Russell Brand, the comedian?

        Or have you stumbled across a Dr Russell Brand who happens to be a qualified virologist or epidemiologist?

      I agree everyone has a right to choose. I choose to get a vaccine, some choose not to & that's OK. Everyone has a choice and what they choose will dictate the things they can and can't do over the coming period. It's a choice, so it's really not discrimination, is it?

      • vodamerc on 16/10/2021 - 09:54

        So it’s a choice but not really a choice.

        • Yorkshire-Man on 16/10/2021 - 12:58

          Every choice in life has pro's and cons.

                @Blargman2001: Just because billions of doses have been given doesn’t say anything about long term safety or effectiveness. Keep moving along with it, let’s see just how far ahead you’ll get.

                  @robredo: Your body your choice. You guys made your choice. Now it's time to let everyone else get on with their lives. Whinge all you want about being restricted in your freedoms, not like the unvaccinated didn't see this coming. We all have to live with our decisions and their consequences now. Unvaccinated aren't doing too well atm though.

    Let's be real, the Venn diagram of the kinds of people pretending they are medically exempt or harping on about "choice" and the kinds of people who would visit a museum is 2 separate circles.
