To put it kindly, you clearly didn't understand the question I was posing, nor the science behind vaccination...

But I did enjoy the "lockdown we had to have" meme.

As much as there seem to be a lot of people pushing for everyone to take the AZ vaccination, I'm getting increasing numbers of people who I know both in Australia and elsewhere (from the Canaries to the Philippines) saying its best to hold out for non AZ. And some here in Australia are medical experts. So yeah, I don't blame people for taking whatever is available first, but I also think it's a fair call for those who take the decision to have something else ...or nothing at all - if that is the way that they feel.

And the virility of a tyrannosaurus side effect remark was a laugh too - for those of us who saw it

I am assuming these mates in the Canaries and Philippines are epidemiologists?

Victoria's Lockdown 4. I am hearing reports Dan Andrews was taken out by some thugs, rather than falling down the stairs.

So what question are you asking, I assumed you asked about having to take AZ indefinitely for boosters in the future?

Maybe someone pushed him?

Unions aren't happy with him

Not quite, but answer that anyway, in an Australian context. Have Australian authorities, in your view, given any indication that they will allow access to a non-AZ vaccine as a second shot (or a booster, once those become a thing), after a first AZ shot?

Getting close to 50 here, not getting any of the jabs on current evidence.

I like my current blood thickness and why would I want to pollute this immaculate temple?

Happily put me in the Idiotic Camp.

Let history decide.

I heard on ABC Radio this morning that AZ are being urgently contracted by the UK government for a booster shot product. But wait for it...it's directed at the "Beta" strain (formerly known as the South African variant), and not the "Kappa" (a.k.a. Indian variant) strain currently driving the Victoria lockdown.

AZ always seems to be a day late and a variant short, in terms of addressing current VIC needs.

But it's being targeted at that variant specifically because the current AZ vaccine (which already gives good protection against the Kappa variant), isn't anywhere near as effective against the Beta variant.

Sorry, where has that been demonstrated, from a high-quality, peer-reviewed source...??
