That was an intelligence test. If you were not smart enough to get someone else to buy your alcohol for you or your food, then you deserve to have to sit down and think it out.

Damn I failed at turning myself into an alco and clogging up the hospitals. Sorry.

Yeah sure. One of the benefits was helping out others and protecting yourself and your family. If you are free to be able to avoid that benefit, then you did the right thing for yourself. Wait long enough and the rest of the population would help you out by getting immunity. Which is essentially what has happened.

I haven't decided against the 5th vaccine yet, but as I said, I am not so keen. Did you not read that correctly? Is this a comprehension test thing?

FormulaNova, the Covid vaxs don't stop transmission. This is not 2021 anymore. You can turn off the TV. It was a noble claim to say you're protecting your friends and family by taking the vax and I wish that were true, however the reality was that the vaccines weren't designed to stop the spread. Even Pfizer admitted so as you would know.

Please get the 5th jab FN, it's 'safe and effective'*. You've got nothing to lose.

* In extremely rare' cases you may suffer from one or more of the 1000s of adverse reactions noted in the 9 pages of adverse events in the Pfizer clinical trials.

Nope, I don't agree. Youtube video or not. Even if Pfizer has stepped away from saying it doesn't prevent transmisson.

Does Pfizer saying 'it doesn't stop transmission' equal "it doesn't stop transmission"?

I hope you can see the difference there.

I personally think it does reduce transmission. If your vaccination means that you may still catch Covid but are not coughing and sneezing all over the place, surely that reduces the chance of transmission.

I suspect that the Pfizer 'admission' is a legal thing as they know it cannot always reduce transmission. The immune system in your body finds it hard to protect some parts better than others.

But what you say is all a waste anyway as 'we' as the public didn't know if it stopped spreading it at the time. Someone deciding to take it to protect others was still doing so under the impression that it did. Until later when Pfizer made that 'admission'.

At the time, you made the concious decision not to take it. Others took the concious decision to take it. All of us were under the impression at the time that it would reduce transmission.

Did you really watch that video or just forward it on? I really have my doubts that you watched it and its only short.

She says something weird in response which doesn't really address your point, but the bonus is that she clearly highlights that they had to release it 'at risk' due to the speed of development and the urgency.

I can understand the question from the guy with that weird foreign accent, but the response she gives is not about transmission. Is my hearing failing? Is MY comprehension now as rubbish as I like to claim for others?

Imagine if this discussion was held publicly and not on the world wide web.

Since you seem obsessed with the level of my Aussieness, I'll explain my heritage. Born in The Netherlands in 1977. Mum & Dad moved to Australia in 1978 when I was 15 months old. Have lived here ever since. Have dual citizenship for Australia and Holland.

I have a short test that will settle this nationality problem.

Can you tell me what a Dutch Oven is?

Remember, there is no right or wrong answer.

They sell that on 'Brand Developers' right?

Oh yeah, also..

I was out of town for a few days last week and missed the whole 9/11 discussion in this thread.

I have absolutely no idea what or why 9/11 was brought up.

Could somebody explain ? I am worried I may have missed something.

No problem if it is unexplainable.

Who cares, you're about to pay OK's compensation.

Five vaccinations... no COVID, no adverse reaction, still windsurfing, bike riding, working, travelling overseas... living the dream. Thank you medical science.

Be careful, them's fighting words for Argon Man.
I mean, all I said a couple of days ago alluding to the 3 "C"s ( correlation, coincidence, causation) was enough to get him going.

Ha. LOL. I just realised who you were talking about.

He uses big words sometimes but gets the words wrong other times. Must be a politician

I still care about how you got 'vaccines don't stop transmission' from that video. It says nothing of the sort.

As for compensation, OK deserves it, so its not an issue.

Argue it with the former Premier of NSW.

Nah. he is a politician and would win the argument no matter what. Plus he thinks 'God did it all' so I can't argue with that.

But do we agree that even though Pfizer did not require the vaccine to prevent transmission in order to release it to the market, i.e. it was not designed to prevent transmission, that it could indeed prevent transmission and still be compatible with what was said?

I guess what I am saying is that 'not designed to prevent transmission' is not the same as 'designed to not prevent transmission' or even 'does not prevent transmission'. (sorry no videos are available to explain comprehension)

95% of Aussies got double vaxxed.
Did Covid run rampant throughout Australia?
A) Yes
B) No

You seem to be using terrible logic to try and avoid clear discussion. You aren't even clearly stating what your points are meant to prove. You are just putting stuff out there and hoping it assembles itself into an argument.

When did 95% of people get double vaxxed?

Does 95% confer herd immunnity when done at the same time?

It's been a while now and people forget things with time, but as far as I recall, where I live Covid was barely a thing for the most part. So given that its a significant part of Australia, I guess I can say that Covid didn't run rampant (a scientific term?) throughout Australia.

Now, not that you asked, vaccines that I received were targetted to a different strain to the one that was circulating at the time. I think its a reasonable understanding that it meant that my body was primed against "Covid" but not the exact strain. It had a head start.

My symptoms were almost non-existent when I got Covid, If it weren't for the testing I wouldn't have known I had it and only did tests because a close contact reported they had Covid. I have no way of knowing if I would have gotten it worse if I had not been vaccinated.

I have had other people telling me they had a terrible couple of days with Covid even though they were vaxxed. They were vaccinated, but not as many or as early as myself. Had this had an effect? Again I have no way of knowing.

I don't know any unvaccinated people that have volunteered they had Covid. I think you can understand that I think these people would be very quiet about it if they had Covid and suffered badly. For people vocal about not being vaccinated I think they would also be vocal if they caught Covid and got almost nothing. Which proves nothing.

Do vaccines generally work? Yes.

Have we reached a point where most people can catch Covid and be relatively okay? Yes, I think so.

Did Pfizer say that their vaccine did not prevent transmission? No.
