Scientists have produced evidence that the pandemic virus is 'uniquely adapted to infect humans', raising fresh questions over whether its origins were natural or could have occurred in a laboratory.

Coronavirus is 'uniquely adapted to infect humans': Top vaccine scientist says it could only have come from an animal through a 'freak of nature' - and the possibility it leaked from Wuhan lab MUST be investigated

I get so sick and tired of the ads on tv telling us we should all go and have a jab!
Then I get barred from having mine.
I think everyone that wants and needs the jab should be allowed to have it and those that don't want it fine let them sort themselves out.

AUSTRALIA VACCINES
• Australia to receive 500,000 extra Pfizer doses in a 'vaccine swap' with Singapore.
Beemee
2 yrs ago
Yeah that's questionable? They spout that yet do not say what is the swap?
RnR
2 yrs ago
The deal will see half a million Pfizer doses that were originally allocated to Singapore now diverted to Australia. In response, Australia will provide Singapore with 500,000 doses in December.
Singapore’s ministry of foreign affairs has issued its own statement about the arrangement with Australia, saying it “will enable both countries to support each other in optimising our respective schedules for vaccinating our populations against Covid-19”.
The statement says:
As Singapore has made good progress in our national vaccination programme and possesses sufficient supplies to meet our immediate needs, we will provide around 500,000 doses of our existing stocks of Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA-based vaccine for Covid-19 to Australia. This will help Australia accelerate its vaccination programme amidst its current increase in cases caused by the Delta variant.
In exchange, Australia will provide the same quantity of vaccines back to Singapore at a later date, after we have drawn down on our existing supplies vaccinating the rest of our population, including new incoming long-term pass holders as we open up our society and economy.
These returned doses would come in more useful for Singapore then, potentially as booster doses for specific segments of our population that could benefit from such boosting.

News - overseas and local. All this jab, jab, jab has nothing to do with the virus but rather as a replacement Australia Card. Once all who want the jab do so, there will be restrictions placed against all who didn't. Then you get a Gold Card (friggin whoopie, new name but it's still the Australia Card) and with producing that card to do all your business, they will know exactly every single move you make - now tell me this isn't the sign of the beast? Are you are criminal? They will know exactly where you are when buying food, fuel, ammunition, guns, a car etc. Then when they do the double whammy - bringing in the credit card and no cash - now they know even more about what you are doing. Cash can not be followed but a card can.
Already established by a PhD that the vax only covers the Alpha strain, not the variants. Its all crud, to get control of the populous. Do you doubt it? Why then if this jab is so important to save us that politicians do NOT have to have the jab even if it was mandatory? Australians and the world have all been taken for a ride, the Government will get what they want as control of the people, but as far as the actual virus is concerned, they don't give a rats ass.
Not a fan of Pauline Hanson but she told her party faithful at a meeting that all Politicians DO NOT have to get the jab even if it was mandatory. Saw our so called PM go through the motions of getting the vax, but did he? Nurses who saw the video say it was not AZ (the only one at that time available). I reckon they would have a clue more so than us street people.

An upbeat Mr Morrison donned an Australian flag-themed face mask as he rolled up his sleeve for the injection just before 11.30am today.
He is one of a small number of people to receive the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine at a medical clinic in Castle Hill in Sydney's north-west, before the large-scale rollout across Australia commences tomorrow."

At our age we have little family left as they have all moved on to another realm.
So on that basis here's a ratio you might be more interested in. The people I have left in my group of friends and family are - 4 in Qld, 2 in NSW, 2 in Vic, 2 in SA, 2 in WA, 1 in Tas.
Of these 13 there are 7 who have had the jab ( some 1st one & a couple with 2nd). Out of all of these so far 3 in Qld who have had the first vax not too long ago have had bad reactions. One whose arm that was injected has doubled in size and going black. The doctor stated it was tendonitis - BS I have had RSI on both shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers, and none of them swelled to double size or went black. Another can no longer walk and is as weak as a kitten. Another is paralysed from the waist down. Not a bad ratio 3 out of 7, and not good odds as far as I am concerned.
The remaining 6 have yet to contact so have no idea how well they are doing.

David Icke ... Mmmmm !! Totally agree Axel.
Far out whacko IMO from what I've read.
An English conspiracy theorist and a former footballer and sports broadcaster.
In 1990, he visited a psychic who told him he was on Earth for a purpose and would receive messages from the spirit world. This led him to state in 1991 he was a "Son of the Godhead" and that the world would soon be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes, predictions he repeated on the BBC show Wogan. His appearance led to public ridicule. Books Icke wrote over the next 11 years developed his world view of New Age conspiracism. His endorsement of an antisemitic forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, in The Robots' Rebellion (1994) and And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995) led his publisher to stop handling his books, which were then self-published.
Icke believes the universe to consist of "vibrational" energy and infinite dimensions sharing the same space. He claims an inter-dimensional race of reptilian beings, the Archons or Anunnaki, have hijacked the Earth and a genetically modified human–Archon hybrid race of shape-shifting reptilians – the Babylonian Brotherhood, Illuminati or "elite" – manipulate events to keep humans in fear, so that the Archons can feed off the resulting "negative energy". He claims many public figures belong to the Babylonian Brotherhood and propel humanity towards a global fascist state or New World Order, a post-truth era ending freedom of speech.

BeeMee,
Due to the intense collaboration of scientists et al, experiments and tests running side by side and not consecutively, and important data being available from previous corona viruses such as SARS dating back to 2002, and MERS to 2012, I feel that the scientists have done an excellent job in producing the necessary COVID vaccines.
Personally, totally sick of COVID anti-jabbers ...
I have the feeling many of them would have happily had other vaccinations required for overseas travel in the past plus all those who get tattoos, botox and other cosmetic without a second thought.
