You know I've been a regular poster here for a few years, but I've never had a comment removed.
I could be tempted to deliberately throw out some p's and q's and earn myself a black mark on this.

"I find it hard to believe we'll ever get to that magic 80% if there are no penalties or restrictions placed on those choosing to remain unvaccinated and insodoing, endangering the health of the rest of us."

How does me not getting the jab place your health in danger?
I'd argue that all you sheep going to get the jab and hoping for this 80% is going to end up with me be forced to take the jab, and that puts my health in danger.

Everything I've said about this crap has been more or less right so far.
25% of people WONT GET BETTER

The path to protecting our nation was SHUTTING THE DOORS ON OUTSIDE VISITORS.
Our pos leaders have failed at every turn.

Now it's all about vaccination and herd immunity.

We either have a gun to our heads with Covid,
Or a gun to our heads with the vaccines.
99% of the nation held ransome for the 1% of people who wanted to catch planes.

I told you all there would be no end to lockdowns within the country if we didn't lock people OUT OF the country.

I told you all a year ago, we should've shot the planes out of the sky, (say Russia did it, works when convenient) and put permanent firing squads on the tarmac, for anyone dares to set foot in the country from overseas.

I blame government incompetence for this whole entire sh*tshow.

I can afford to buy 2+ years of food, and have no contact with the outside world if I need to, so why do I have to be imposed upon for the lives you want, living normally whilst spreading your filthy shite pandemic virus around, because you all live week to week.

So screw your virus, and screw your death causing experimental vaccines as well.

Also many religious people see all this vaccine-passport as mark of the beast and end-times tribulation.
Have fun getting them to take the jab.
You can put your gun to these peoples heads, but it won't work.
You'll have to pull the trigger.

Herd immunity to a man-made bioweapon that permanently makes 25% of people sick forever, and reliant upon big pharma?

You know armament manufacturers don't care about world peace.
So why would big pharma want healthy people?

You're not going to get your 80% without mandatory vaccinations.
I'd say roughly half or more of the people I speak to don't want anything to do with it.
On the other side you've got little sinister old ladies taking everyone they know down for shots, because they believe its in the communities best interest.
- Like covid gave their miserable lives some purpose

So when 76% of kids get adverse reactions on the first shot, and 80 something percent have adverse reactions on the second shot, you can bet that all this will be waste of time and money, built on the sickness of our nations citizens and upon the incompetence of our own leaders, who cared more about the economy, than they ever did about anyone's health.

And where are the economist people who say we can never run out of money and debt is good?
They're the same ones telling you to go get your shots, for the good of the economy.

Dear Hasbeen,

I put this on another thread but it could just as easily apply here:

Back during the Spanish Flu in Australia the developed an experimental vaccine quick smart. Don't imagine they would have had the number of whingers flapping their gums about a tiny risk of an adverse outcome. They just got on with it.

"Commonwealth Serum Laboratories was established during the First World War to alleviate Australia’s dependence on imported vaccines. In 1918 it developed its first, experimental vaccine in anticipation of pneumonic influenza reaching mainland Australia.

Researchers did not know what caused influenza, but produced a vaccine that addressed the more serious secondary bacterial infections that were likely to cause death.

Between 15 October 1918 and 15 March 1919, CSL produced three million free doses for Australian troops and civilians. It later evaluated the vaccines to be partially effective in preventing death in inoculated individuals."

God we are getting soft aren't we and blokes like you are leading the way.

Dear Armchair Critic,

Look mate I know you are wetting your pants about getting the vaccine which is understandable for someone your age, put these are mostly sensible measures mostly to make sure our elderly are protected and our health system isn't over run as it has been in many other countries.

That some of the deliberately unvaccinated will act as Typhoid Marys is a given, what the rest of us need to do is make sure the impact of that selfishness is minimised, that is all that is going on. No great conspiracy old boy.

For gods sake SR, give over.

You obviously don't believe the so called vaccines will protect you or the rest of the jabbed herd. If you actually believed they will save you it would not matter to you if others get or don't get jabbed.

Just why the hell do you think it will be better for you & the herd of vaccinated if a few others do or do not get the jab? Your reasoning is totally irrational, & I could say as usual.

Well Armchair Critic has made some good points.

No, I disagree with what he said about vaccines, but I do agree that Australia's border should remain closed, even after 80% vaccination is reached, and I do agree that federal government has let us down in their appetite for "economy".

I think that we should only open the borders once an anti-viral medicine is available whereby anyone who even suspects of being infected can take it and avoid the illness. I think such a medicine will be available next year, but if it doesn't then Australia should remain closed indefinitely.
