Time to stop this rubbish about #herdimmunity Herd immunity is the desirable outcome of a national immunisation program. It is NOT a strategy for preventing illness and death from an uncontrolled infectious disease. There is no vaccine against #coronavirus yet

Bloody hell. This is extraordinary. imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial…

Apologise to a GP you publicly ridiculed for following your own Department’s guidelines...??

When choosing between alternatives for standard practice in the COVID-19 Patient Group, select options that fulfill the following criteria: Safe Simple Familiar Reliable Robust For more information see the Safe Airway Society Consensus Statement in MJA mja.com.au/journal/2020/2…

This seems big.

#GAMC2020 patient on fire doesn't need a Bair hugger.

Shocking revelations (not) ... UK scientists estimated #COVID19 IFR in the early stages of the pandemic, and got it about right (~0.66%) – CDC current estimate 0.65%. And some even had research funding from international charities. Seriously ... thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

It’s craft time.

The probability of developing DIC from the vaccine is 0.000035%. With Canada's latest COVID-19 situation you are 285,714 times more likely to develop prolonged illness (PASC) and 71,123 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than developing DIC from the AstraZeneca vaccine. 6/

The probability of developing CVST from the vaccine is 0.00009%. With Canada's latest COVID-19 situation you are 111,111 times more likely to develop prolonged illness (PASC) and 27,659 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than developing CVST from the AstraZeneca vaccine. 7/

You can deny vaccines work. You can deny masks work. You can deny Trump lost. You can deny climate change. You can go fuck yourself.

Give the NSW Government a break — it's hard to make public health policy using Cards Against Humanity.

Sorry, are you talking about vaccine program, climate change, Afghanistan airlifts, tackling corruption ... need to be more specific please.

In addition to being the PM I also have a little side hustle buying up PS5s and selling them for a 300% markup on Amazon. That's the kind of resourcefulness I'm known for.

I’m fully aware this won’t stop “the vaxx gave me 5G” jokes. But #LetsVaxx anyway.

Singapore has double-vaccinated about 80% of its *entire* population, yet is still struggling with Delta. Australia's target of 80% *of >16s* is only 64% of our population. We need to aim higher & start expressing our targets as a % of the whole population abc.net.au/news/2021-09-1…

To help contextualise Singapore’s 🏆 performance: as at 30 June 2020, Australia had 21.9 million people aged 12+ (ie eligible for Covid-19 vaccination) and a total population of 25.7M. If 90% of Australians 12+ were vaccinated, that would still only be 77% of our whole population
