Personal attacks were supposed to stop when heavy weather ended. If you're worried about a sixty year old white woman dying of Covid I suggest you put her on a diet, to be in even marginally high risk group she'd have to be pretty ****ing fat.
No, its not really a personal attack, but you did mention on here that you wanted the lockdowns stopped as it stopped you from hugging your grandchildren who lived only kilometres away.
Now, you live in WA, seemingly not bothered by this thing that made cry about lockdowns when you were living in Vicco. It either was important to you or it wasn't.
If Covid is not a thing, why not stay in Vic where the grandkids are and live with it?
People should be concerned about getting 'their shots' in order to become immune to Covid. Even if it does not help them personally, it will help the community as enough people immunized will stop it from becoming an outbreak. Longer term it probably even means that that 30 year old when they are 80 are immune to the same virus.
People forget that in the last pandemic of this type 100 years ago meant a lot of people died and the people that were left were probably exposed to it and became immune to it. If you want to try the same method it will kill a lot of people. If you want to do it the modern way you teach the immune system by using a vaccine and far less people die from it.
Its all academic when you don't know anyone that died from it. One of my work colleagues who is originally from France was telling me that his 80 something grandmother died from it. In perfect health, she went on a trip somewhere in Europe and came back with it and died within weeks. Understandably his attitude to it is more understandable than yours or even mine.
