A report yesterday told of over 5000 in the UK who were fully vaccinated, [if that is what you call this goo], but still contracted the virus, a few hundred have been hospitalised, & almost 200 have died.

I have not heard that these who have had the jab in Victoria are excused the lockdown. Obviously the Vic lefty government doesn't trust the jab to be of any use in preventing the current spread.

Who was it who said if facts change I change my opinion? Should have said, if it doesn't work, stop wasting money on doing it.

"the Vic lefty government doesn't trust the jab to be of any use in preventing the current spread." Not with the low rate of vaccination, thanks to the shambolic roll-out by the Morrison government.

No one clamed that vaccination gives 100% protection from the virus.

"According to medical experts, so-called breakthrough cases -- cases where fully vaccinated individuals test positive for coronavirus -- are possible, but have so far been rare."

"While the vaccine itself cannot give you the virus, it is also not 100% effective at preventing the virus entirely, though those who receive the vaccine are far less likely to be hospitalized or die from it, data shows."

What disturbs me somewhat is that people under 50
are given one kind of vaccine and those over 50
are given another. Why?

Why the discrimination based on age?

One in eight Brits are vaccinated. 42% in the US. 10% in Brazil. Australia - 1.9%, and a lot of scaremongering about the side effects of the vaccine on almost nobody. The biggest wet blanket and obstacle to a way out? Scott Morrison, who is now siding with the state idiots, which include the morons in Victoria. Morrison, who has no political beliefs at all, sees that the nut jobs in the states are being re-elected for their draconian stupidity, and he wants the same for himself at the next election. Bugger what is right for Australia and Australians, it's all about Morrison's election welfare.

"Why the discrimination based on age?"

I agree with Foxy. The virus affects different age groups in different ways. It discriminates against the elderly and in favour of the young. We need to take the virus to the anti-discrimination courts for its open and unapologetic ageism.

Ageism?

No at all.

There have been reports of rare blood clots linked
to the AstraZeneca vaccine. Many older people
especially ones who do have a history of blood
clots on the lungs prefer to wait for Pfizer or
Moderna vaccines due to be available at the
end of the year.
