The logistics of a pandemic : Comments

By Craig Minns, published 13/8/2021

Professor Doherty has just released a very influential and convincing report on the sorts of vaccination levels we need to achieve and it seems to have pushed our Federal Govt into some action, at last.

Alan B, I asked about the current vaccines because all previous vaccines actually stopped us getting the disease because our body knew it was a pathogen and killed it. These so called vaccines are new technology but are not and have never been vaccines just a profit to big pharma.
Again not everyone catches Covid I believe Whitty in the UK said 70% of people would not be able to catch Covid? So why are we so panic stricken over just another virus? Really deadly viruses (Marburg, Ebola) have a 90% kill rate but they are very unsuccessful because of this. If the virus kills you it dies as well. A successful virus will co-exist and cause us no problems as so many do.
I still cannot understand the rank fear of another common cold virus?

People under 25 have more chance of being hit by lightning than they have of getting sick or dying from Covid. Yet, the urging to get vaccinated is now upon them. It's not for them, the 'experts" say, but to protect people who are due to pop their clogs anyway, through old age or serious illness.

For most of the population, Covid is just a bad flu, very, very unlikely to make you all that ill or kill you. The risk of a Covid death is less than 0.03 percent.

And, for that, we have people snitching on their neighbours, supporting clearly useless and costly lockdowns, and overlooking heavy-handed police tactics.

J.B. The common cold and covid19 are both coronaviruses. But that's where the similarity ends. There's no mass graves the result of the common cold!

Getting the virus and getting over it may confer some limited immunity? But almost worthless when you get a new more deadly variant! And as we've seen with the delta valiant, killing young folk as well and or making others very sick for literal months!

Months where everything was an extreme effort! And months where the internal organs were attacked and permanently damaged in many cases, along with the quality of life!

You can continue to bury your head somewhere warm and comfortable and see only what you want to see? But that and your lassie faire approach changes naught as you display your indifference, corresponding ignorance and wilful blindness/lack of normal human empathy?

Three or four months in hospital gashing for every pain-racked breath is probably the only thing that'll change minds as closed as yours to the truth/evidence-based facts!?

For centuries many sometimes intelligent folk believed the world was flat! And at times with inculcated fanaticism. But such conviction no matter how resolutely held, never ever made a round world flat! And the common cold has never ever resulted in more deaths than two world wars nor mass graves to bury them!

Better the world should suspect you are a fool than to open your mouth to remove all doubt.
Alan B.

JBowyer says it the way it is. No doubt about that.

Thank you JF and I note what you say AlanB.
I would point out that there has still not been any young people dying of Covid. The usual rank dishonesty and corruption from the medico's is disgusting. Latest was a teenager who recently "Died" of Covid. They have now admitted he actually also had meningitis and the family agreed to this being publicised? I read that as they were going to tab that to Covid but the victim's family stopped our rank dishonesty.
Tony Abbott is right a Royal Commission is needed but it would result in absolute murders in Australia!

Isn't it amazing how all these supposedly super-smart people can dissect every attempt to solve problems but they never manage to produce a solution !
