This Aussie finding is pretty much what one might expect with vaccines: overwhelming good with the odd complication that is very minor compared to the greater benefits. In a sane world this wouldn't need to be said, but the studies still need to be done to make the point:

^ No. The decision-making process in that particular case was unlawful because it did not comply with a requirement under local Queensland law to consider human rights issues. The decision was, consequently, struck down because it was vitiated by legal error. The decision does not mean that vaccines can't be compulsory under Queensland law - it just means the relevant bureaucrats have to do their job properly in reaching that determination. Put simply, one overcomes what was - in technical terms - a failure to take into account a relevant consideration by taking that consideration into account and reaching a considered determination that - to put it colourfully - on balance, the public health benefits of the proposed action outweigh the paranoid ravings of numpties.
That is, this was a judicial review application, concerning the procedural correctness of the exercise of the adminisitrative decision-making power. The subject matter of such a proceeding can never be the substantive exercise of power.
Of course, it should not surprise anyone that Queensland authorities struggle with due process. It's been a problem there for many decades. "Don't you worry about that".

This seems like a fairly mainstream update of what we know, or think we know, about Covid thus far:

From that article.
"But with Covid, children seem to have largely been spared from severe illness. Only a small number are hospitalized or develop life-threatening conditions like multisystem inflammatory syndrome, or MIS-C.
We now have a clearer idea why that’s the case: Children’s immune systems may be better primed against Covid precisely because they are frequently exposed to the benign coronaviruses that cause common colds, said Dr. Alpana Waghmare, an infectious disease specialist at Seattle Children’s Hospital."
Same for plumbers I assume. I could count the number of times a cold/flu has stopped me from going to work in the last 45 years on one hand.
"In some cases, the body can fight off the virus before it replicates enough to cause symptoms, or clear it so quickly that a person never tests positive."
Never tested positive on a RAT, the only time I tested positive (no symptoms though) was on a pcr when the rest of the family were showing symptoms.
Vaccination rates in Australia have been below 10% of the population for the past 12 months.

My poor old neighbours across the road, Vic (80) and his missus (78 ) are still terrified from the initial media hysteria. They rarely go out and have had over half a dozen 'boosters'

I'm still a novid despite it being through our house a couple of times. Have kept up with vaccines and boosters - and will have another one before the weather turns to crap. Rarely get sick from other viruses or the flu. Probably a good thing given my health profile...(high blood pressure; obesity; type 2 diabetes; kidney disease; and general stupidity).

Each day someone at work has Covid. Now many suggest it's just a way to take a sick day but in our work, you just WFH. Most are young and have got it through their kids or siblings. Many have now had it multiple times and many have had minimal vaccines. Now I am still a Novid and minimise my risk. Covid now seems to be the norm like the flu.
