'Australia’s vaccine advisory body is unlikely to approve a second Covid vaccine booster for under-30s due to the increased risk of myocarditis and diminishing benefit of successive doses.

Currently, Australians considered most at risk of severe illness and those aged 30 and over are eligible to receive a fourth dose three months after their third dose.'

We are here for your protection.

"However we don't know about efficacy because that requires doing a study of many thousands of people, so we have to rely on the immunogenicity, the antibody production," he said.
Translation - We will not know if it works until after we inject thousands of people of people with it.

@BDair Doing research is the only way to find out if the vaccine works. We have to give the vaccine and do testing.

Generally, the protocol is to do long term trials on a test population in a controlled environment and prove the safety and efficacy of the product before introducing it to the general public.
Not do inconclusive trials on 8 or 10 mice for a few weeks before getting a rubber stamp from the FDA.
The breach of protocols between Big Pharma and the alphabet agencies charged with overseeing them is criminal. The excrement will be making contact with the fan blades post haste.

Thank you for participating in a thoughtful discourse.
I must point out however that your rude ad hominem attack
comes across as stupidly 'dickish'.

@BDair - Wow!

Since you have renounced the use reason, I will refrain from argument.

Yeah, why trust a guy who has spent his life researching a subject when you just do what a cartoon animal advises? "It's Grrreat"

@273kelvin
Look at the numbers. More people are dying with the vaccine than those without it. I actually encourage the liberals to get vaccinated.

@CourtJester Hey pal, my brother was anti-vax (and pro-Trump, go figure). When I say anti-vax I mean rabid anti-vax. (we fell out for over a year over this) Whatever arguments you can come up with he could give you 5 more. He took ivermectin, vitamin D and all the crap you can get when you "do your own research".
Anyway, his eldest son was getting married in Ireland this year. We were talking by now so he, me, my ex and my daughter all booked a b&b for a 4-day stay. The night after the wedding he could not sleep due to shortness of breath. So the next day we all went out and let him try to get some rest. When I came back he was practically immobile. Struggling to get air into his lungs and was unable to even pull up his pants. Things got rapidly worse and I had to call for help. We called the emergency services but then his heart stopped. Luckily my ex used to be a nurse and we both did CPR until the paramedics came.
He did not make it.
Later the postmortem showed COVID in his system.
Now you can mine the internet all you like for any nuggets that support your view but it don't stack up diddly against me trying to pump life into my brother's body on that hotel bedroom floor. For the 1st time in my life, I wish that I was wrong and he was right but wishing don't make it so.

@273kelvin

I don’t have to mine the internet. I work in a hospital and see it six to seven days a week. More people dying of or with Covid are vaccinated. I see it constantly. There was a huge uptick in miscarriages and heart attacks for those that have been “vaccinated” as well.
What we’ve been seeing over the past few weeks is that those with the harshest flu symptoms have also been vaccinated.
I haven’t done an actual study myself and no one is paying CNN to tell anyone the facts, but from what I see on a day-to-day basis; the vaccine is absolutely not a vaccine (a vaccine actually PREVENTS you from catching a virus) and it weakens the immune system.
Amazingly, the democrats have sealed all of the studies and information for the Covid “vaccine” for 70 years. That in itself should raise some giant red flags. But mostly democrats are getting it. So go for it man.
Best of luck.

@CourtJester Man to man, I can only tell you about my own experience. I am still alive to tell you it, my brother is not. Hand on heart, I truly hope you are right and that you or yours never have to go through anything like I did.
We argue on here about crap like politics and such and although it seems important (and yes it kinda is) but not really. I mean we are unlikely to change each other's stance or effect any form of change in our lives that matters.
But this is not a game and people's lives are on the line here. Real people, not just numbers but your friends and family. If I were you I would think very carefully before you offer medical advice that contradicts the vast majority of the medical profession. What you do with your body is up to you but are you willing to gamble with the lives of others? Some of which may be close to you. What if you are wrong?

@273kelvin

What if I’m wrong??? Hell, what if everything I see day to day is actually right because I’m seeing the facts rather than listening to what people are paid to tell me?

It appears from the ATAGI info-graphic, that they only recommend the 5th shot for
the 'severly immunocompromised'.

@BDair I know, but they want the people who do not have any shots to have more choices. Our Covid cases are going up.

@Jolanta Save your typing, he does his own research.

You're citing Robert Malone as an authority? He's a fucking wack job! I call

You can hold your own opinion, even if it is based on BS.

@BDair Your opinion is noted.

@jlynn37 I have not offered my opinion.
