Hope this isn’t going to be too controversial.

From the NSW government website

Every child aged 5 to 11 who gets a COVID-19 vaccine at the Sydney Olympic Park Vaccination Centre between 1 – 18 April 2022 will receive a free children’s ticket to the Sydney Royal Easter Show for use at any time during the show (8 – 19 April, subject to capacity).

Consent is required from a parent or guardian at booking and at the appointment. If the parent or guardian is unable to attend the appointment, a nominated accompanying adult can be identified during the booking process.

        Now break those numbers down into of covid and with covid. You'll find your numbers will be wildly different as they found out in the UK. It's like saying someone died with the common cold but you don't mention that they had terminal lung cancer that was the cause of death.

          I'm not aware of a data source that separates "of covid" and "with covid" as this can be challenging to accurately define. If one accepts the premise that comorbidities increase as people age (e.g. lung cancer) then if you were to exclude the "with covid", this would likely remove more people in older age groups, increasing the percentage of younger people.

              @tightass2: It may not be a coincidence. Chest pain and shortness of breath can be symptoms of myocarditis or pericarditis, which are among side effects of the mRNA vaccines (although very rare in adults). Most patients recover soon and can usually return to their normal daily activities after their symptoms improve.

                  @tightass2: Uh, no, that's not the conclusion that needs to be drawn. You don't die from pericarditis but you can die from Covid. The risk/benefit ratio is clearly on the vaccine side for now (until we get a new dominant variant which is much, much milder than Omicron).

        What is the source for the 25-30% increase?

        Provisional Mortality Statistics report that:

        • 13,878 deaths were certified by a doctor as being due to ischaemic heart disease (IHD) during 2021.
        • This is 1,220 deaths (8.8%) below the 2015-19 average, but is 2.0% higher than the 13,609 deaths certified as being due to IHD in 2020.

      I guess you didn't read the long list of known side effects Pfizer had to release due to a court order. The same company that wanted it hidden for 75 years. Why would they want to do that I wonder🙄

        I suggest reading Pfizer Forced To Release 9 Pages Of Vaccine Side Effects?! and 'Data is power': Experts weigh-in on court-ordered release of Pfizer vaccine documents

        He notes each event doesn’t mean the vaccine caused that reaction, rather he says it was reported to Pfizer in the “days and weeks” after the vaccine was administered.
        For instance, one of the adverse effects included in a report is about a child who swallowed a penny after getting the shot.
        “Swallowing a penny is something that five-year-olds do, on occasion, unfortunately,” says Dr. Kalina. “But I think we can plainly see that that wasn't related to administration of the vaccine itself, but it’s a good example of the fact that all adverse events are required to be documented.”

        The reason that all adverse events are reported is so that the data can be analysed to identify patterns. This is what occurred with the blood clots associated with AstraZeneca, enabling doctors to respond quickly to symptoms.

          Paracetamol has large labels saying to read the list.

          As for contraception, all doctors make you do a blood pressure check. If it's too high, other options need to be in place.

          As for the vaccine waver, that is literally for all vaccines, not just COVID. So, unless you are a total anti-vaxxer, this isn't out of the ordinary. And the waivers are signed to protect both parties from American style litigation.

        Polio vaccine is 4 doses. Smallpox is a nasty stab in the arm with a nasty sore. BCG, the vaccine for TB leaves a very nasty sore on your arm and scar called the Calmette-Guerin scar.

        The 4-6 months is literally non-issue. You taking the advantage that the fact you live in a first world country and don't have to pay hospital bills for you or extended family in Australia, and know that you will be treated no matter what age, race, income, class, etc.

        Be grateful for the fact it's free and available. Populations around the world cannot afford or have access to the vaccine. NSW government giving out incentives to give out tickets for free to get vaccinated FOR FREE. People here just whinge and complain about it.

    So Australia has approximately 161,400 deaths per year and covid has killed 6398 over what 3 years, so 2133 per year which is 1.32% of total all deaths to Covid. Sounds like it's from the same mob that thinks that if Australia stops producing green house gases that we can stop "climate change" and the Chinese totally won't just produce more themselves in the mean time. People are insane, 1% is basically nothing in the grand scheme of things, and 0.024% is even more so of nothing.

            But just in case you are not acting in bad faith.

            https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/just-how-do-deaths…
            "Looking at official statistics alone, COVID-19 was the fourth leading cause of death globally, accounting for just under one in twenty deaths worldwide since the beginning of 2020. After accounting for unreported deaths, the total toll could be as high as the third leading cause of death, responsible for an estimated 10 million deaths, or one out of every ten deaths. About half of people globally live to 70 before they die, so causes of death that tend to kill older adults such as ischemic heart disease and stroke predominate among the most common causes of death. COVID-19 mortality is similar in that it kills very few young children or adolescents but becomes sharply more dangerous with age and disproportionately kills people over 70 years old."

            Data source:
            https://www.healthdata.org/special-analysis/estimation-exces…

            It is very crazy that you don't think a country like Australia that has high vaccine rates and lots of government intervention wouldn't have much lower mortality. Do you not believe that the vaccines work, despite the mountains of evidence?

    • brenwildman on 05/04/2022 - 08:41

      Your stats on COVID deaths are not accurate. Given your data, ~6,000 people died who were SARS-CoV-2 positive - this is correlation not causation, so you could say ~6,000 COVID associated deaths but not that COVID caused ~6,000 deaths. Groups with an agenda intentionally and/or deceptively abbreviate this to 'COVID deaths'. It has only really been closer to 2 years in Australia not 3 years.

      We knew that the virus is highly transmissible, mostly asymptomatic, and it is endemic with a lot of people having it (since early 2020), so you would expect a proportion of people who die from any cause to be SARS-CoV-2 positive just coincidentally. We do not use a strong ICD definition of COVID death to rule out other causes and almost all COVID associated deaths have another underlying comorbidity.

      The way you could say 'COVID has killed' is by looking at excess deaths, which have not changed.

        That is so wrong. We should not jeopardise our health and wellbeing to partake in a "deal". The government should incentivise those who have done the right thing, not reward those who have chosen not to get vaccinated.

        It is sending out the wrong message. Next time we're all called upon to take another booster, this will make everyone stop and think. "Maybe I should not get vaccinated yet and wait for an OzBargain deal."

    Noone on either side here will change their mind. But the antivaxxers are fringe people who live in fear . They probably don't believe bin climate change either. Don't give them oxygen. Close thread

      Because you have never had a meaningful discussion with someone who knows what they are talking about and can show you legitimate concerns / issue with what is going on.

      If you knew someone close to you that is going through the hardship and pain caused by all this (medical), you would change your mind in a heart beat.
