I see no particular use in trying to tell desperate folk what to do! Given the available options actually on the table! All we should and can do, is offer to help in any way available to us, including the possible gift of millions of AZ doses. And as they find as many others have? That the Chinese vaccine is not particularly efficacious? Our gift? Would be remembered!
We're all in this together and any vaccinated individual can still get and spread this virus. And vaccines may not provide immunity beyond 12 months or less. So, we ought to be ramping up the local production of a number of effective therapeutics we have here.
First of all, is an injection that kills 99.99% of the viral load, the other, an out of patent nasal spray that apparently provides excellent protection, if used thrice daily?
If we're not making millions of these and stocking them in cold storage or better yet, using them and the mercy rule to end the spread of the delta variant in the community! And why not?
The only reason, recalcitrant and dithering blame-shifting pollies are standing the way. Like spell-bound rabbits caught in the glare of the spotlight!
It's not for government many will spuriously claim? Why not? It used to be when sanity prevailed in both houses/parties!
