Two reported cases of the low platelet blood clots have been reported here in the last day. One is a 44 year old male. Details of the other haven’t been reported.

Canada has suspended the use of Astra Zeneca on those younger than 55.
Too Late already had the Injection.

My Doctor said I need to take as I am High Risk with Covid
Because you take aspirin daily Dave your risk is minimal. The risk before taking asprin is also minimal (1:100's of thousands if not a million risk) according to an independent voice on ABC news this pm (from the AMA)

If the reports are correct in Australia it is one, maybe two, in 750,000. assuming every injection in Australia has been Astra Zeneca and not Pfizer brand.

It’s interesting that the FDA hasn’t and probably won’t approve of Astra Zeneca being used in the USA after they were caught submitting false figures in relation to its effectiveness.

In Victoria, 36 days in a row of no community cases. 12,079 test results were reported yesterday. Still the 1 active case from overseas. Nothing has come of the “positive” wastewater testing, so far.

So it’s just fear mongering by a government who loves control and restrictions?

No it's how you respond to data

You can say shit the sky is falling in, its the end of the world it's 1:750,000 risk or 1:1,000,000 risk

or you can say 1:750,000 risk or 1:1,000,000 risk is a very low risk - more risk of getting run over by a car

Ignorance breeds fear aided and abetted by a media who are not averse to sensationalize.

Notions of Goverment control is the in the same space of unthinking extreme right wing nutters who occupy the web: Oh it's you Eddie...... sorry I forgot........carry on.

I was talking about the wastewater testing...Only time the government would say anything bad about the vaccine is if Danny wants to score cheap political points.

Sensationalising would be a government that tells us that the UK strain is extremely infectious, moves at light speed and just 2 cases is enough to lock the entire state up for a week. Then after 5 days claim it’s because we locked down it never spread, ignoring the part where an infectious person spent 9 hours working at a cafe and not infecting a single person.

Then weeks later the truth comes out, the truth the stooges denied, we locked down because Victoria’s gold standard contact tracing system had failed with just 2 cases...

Oh I'm sorry, did the highly infectious strain actually infect more people? Did the Government lie? Or are you just talking complete shit as usual?

Nope, the government, as advised by the heath experts, did the right thing, and a very, very serious outbreak was avoided.

Score: Well done the government, partisan loonie denialism from Eddie, nothing to see here, all just the same as usual.

I prefer the “it’s better to be safe than sorry” way of thinking. People like you couldn’t give a shit but having an eighty nine year old mum, I want the health authorities to do whatever they need to do to keep her safe. No bowing down to far right wing freaks who want to deny reality. Those folks can go join the right wing dumbos like the proud boys in the states

Love the revisionist history, classic stuff indeed.

The problem with your version, is everyone who got infected was a close contact already in isolation, so the statewide lockdown and massive financial losses occurred by already struggling hospitality businesses was completely unnecessary.

Plus the super infectious strain that moves at light speed didn’t spread to a single co worker or customer at the airport cafe, wow, so super infectious...

But yea they acted on the advice of the health authorities, because the health authorities had $@&^# up and needed everyone locked up so they could catch up. Their new program that’s supposed to handle 500 cases a day failed at 2...
