Booster Review Delayed by CDC as Debate Swirls Over 3rd Shot
"The plan is surrounded by controversy as the medical community remains divided about whether the data support a need for boosters and the World Health Organization has called for richer countries to hold off on distributing third doses until less-vaccinated countries catch up."
"The review comes as U.S. health officials are investigating emerging data suggesting that the Moderna vaccine may be associated with a higher risk of heart complications in younger adults than previously believed, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday. The article cited two unidentified people familiar with the review who emphasized that the side effect still probably remains uncommon."

Only need one but have friends who will take the other two. You can fight the virus with Hydrochroroquine, Ivermectin or bleach. Just tell us how it works for you.

I guess I should stop being mindboggled by the fact that people don't seem to watch the news, or if they do, they think it's fake. The full-on brainwashing of a certain segment is complete.
What I don't understand, is that you have the 'leaders' anti-mask/vaxxer's that ARE vaccinated. Why put their own constituents at risk? That part is just nonsensical to me. Like that Texas Governor. He's triple vaxxed, now himself has COVID, and now is getting the monoclonal antibody treatment.
But he won't allow masks in schools.
It's insane.

So Pfizer is a "buy". In other news, Moderna is a "sell":
U.S. reviewing if Moderna shot tied to higher heart inflammation risk - Washington Post
"The review was focused on Canadian data that suggests a higher risk from the shot than the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, especially in men below the age of 30, according to paper."

Australia has had a total of 978 reported deaths since January 2020. Is that a lot? Is it worth shutting everyone down and forbidding them to even speak to one another?

This link has a chart showing the age breakdown of those deaths.

You don't get the point at all, which is remarkable.
The reason they only have that many (which is too many still) is that they executed procedures.
Otherwise, they'd have a US-style pandemic. Get it?
The choice is 1000 dead with lockdown or prevention procedures, or hundreds of thousands without.
Why is that concept so impossibly hard to grasp for people?

It's not a fair comparison.
Australia is not the US. We have more than 10x as many people, for one and the US has 1/3 of Australia's entire population packed into NYC alone - around 25-30 square miles, I think....
Politically, I think Australia has 6 states...we have 50.
and, in the end, IMO the US is (arguably) the Hub of the World for travel, business, entertainment, finance etc. etc....not the only Hub, but a bigger one than most (including Australia), IMO.
That being said, IMO, the US can't shut down the same way as everybody else for many, many reasons...some of which are frustrating as hell, I'll give you that.
We sure made a mess of it, I'll also give you that...I honestly expected nothing less, though.

There are a few important differences. For example, Australia has no borders with other countries and all international travel has been pretty much stopped for 18 months.
Melbourne is in its sixth lockdown with more than 200 days of restrictions since March 2020. I don't live in Melbourne but I think the majority of lockdown has involved stay at home orders.
Recently the restrictions mean you cannot travel more than 5 klms. Many if not most people would have family outside that zone. So I can understand the frustrations. Having said that, I doubt protesting will achieve any positive outcome. And, I think it is unnecessary for the police to use pepper spray and pepper spray bullets on the protesters.
Looking at the statistics, maybe the better way would have been to lockdown those in higher risk groups - aged, with chronic illness, etc?
