COVID wasn’t an issue here until we let returned travellers in from the Sub-Continent carrying faked Virus results. Our incompetent public service then let it escape from Hotel Quarantine (twice!!) and the rest is history… Delta had arrived…
The Federal Government and most of the States (begrudgingly) have agreed to only remove restrictions once we have a minimum of 70% fully vaccinated… And authorities are offering cash incentives, vouchers, all kinds of unprecedented coercion to get as many as possible to yield to the jab.
The number of double jab indoctrinated is around 37%… And increasing at around 0.5% per day, so roughly another 66 days before we reach the elusive 70%. (~12th November)
Now back to reality… The first say 40-50% that will be vaccinated are the elderly, compromised and those that don’t research what medical information they are prescribed… The remaining 20-30% will be the hesitant and/or the fit that are prepared to confront this Virus and risk the 99.4% survival rate.
The vaccination rate will gradually decline (just as the US has at ~50%), so the 66 days is nothing more than a bureaucratic pipe dream…
Australia will still have massive restrictions through Xmas 2021… If Governments and Health Authorities continue to operate in their distorted reality.
We have had many reports of blood Clots, Injuries (Bell’s Palsy etc) and quite a few deaths from the AZ vaccines, so hesitancy against the AZ Vaccine is playing on many that wish to be vaccinated.
We may see a sudden change in official rhetoric from 18th September… Watch this space!
