More cases in NZ too despite their lockdown. Looks like the covid genie is out of the bottle. Futile now, and they missed a huge opportunity to role out the vaccine when it would've made the biggest difference.

Not enough.

My sister is a nurse and lives in South Australia; been jabbed, and said the government are a disgrace. Fear mongering about AZ and blood clots so under 60s have Pfizer. Problem is people are now s***e scared about the vaccine, period. Just over 20% took the offer.
They will never be out of lockdown at this rate.

Yes, they've really walked themselves into a corner over this.

A relative I have in NZ emailed to me the other day saying "One wonders whether this virus is ever going to be eradicated!" They've got far too used to a 'zero covid' idea that is completely detached from what's coming. Fear of getting vaccinated in this area of the world is the last thing they need!

Richard Fairbrass can make decisions about what jabs he puts in his arms. Honestly those thinking they are making a point about catching a virus with a 99 percent survival rate when most of the vulnerable are already jabbed just shows delusion in my view..

I decided not to have the jabs and I also contacted this virus. I was ill for a bit and then recovered, pretty much like most and no different to most...no drama and my risk assessment. If I was in regular contact with elderly people I might reconsider. Otherwise what people like Richard and I do is our business.

The over reactions on this are so high into the atmosphere ....I would say that those criticizing this guy want to justify their own heighted risk assessment of this virus.

I have no issues and no criticism for those that choose to have the jab because each individual has the right to assess their own health vulnerability.

However for those that want to criticise people like Richard I'd say they have a faulty risk assessment of the statistics for those in reasonable health under a certain age and a rather more willing nature to take government messaging at face value than I certainly have.

Just like many of them will probably cheer on a vaccine passport.

What? I'm not exactly sure what you mean. If you mean being on the side of the individual choosing what goes into their body. When it's their own body, yes....I'm not sure 'scientists' are arguing about that.

Besides, there are plenty of scientists, including some involved in creating vaccines who have issues with how this whole thing has been handled..

As I say, you are only getting one side.
