Vaccines and innoculations are probably the most effective medicine we have invented.

Historically they have had a very good result.

They have saved millions of lives
Polio, Tetanus, Hepatitus A & B, Rubella, Measles, Whooping Cough, small pox, Mumps, Tuberculosis

All diseases we rarely hear much about these days thanks to vaccination.

But still safer than the disease they prevent
The tiny number of adverse reactions in both of those cases meant that there was no proven link with the vaccine

That's what they tell you, but we need to be wary with these new "rushed" Covid vaccines

I'm not an anti-vaxxer but I remember getting a polio jab in primary school, except I never knew it was a polio vaccine till years later, don't know that my parents even knew that I got it. In those days you just did what you were ordered to do. We were marched across the road to a hall where grown ups were sticking needles in our arms and saying nothing. Very sneaky hey!

Btw, A Pfizer vaccine costs $25 to produce. An Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine costs $5 to produce

Which one would you rather be jabbed with?

Will the Govt cost cut and buy the cheaper vaccine? How will you know which one you're getting?

Apart from the usual vaccines we all get plus the yearly flu jab, I've had some exotics like rabies, japanese encephalitis and I will get covid, but I won't be rushing to the head of the line.

Well it looks like the Govt has ordered the cheap $5.00 vaccine before it's even been fully tested and approved

Five dollars doesn't sound much and no doubt that's why the Govt can afford to say it will be "free a charge" to the public (and win the next election)

However, the real price could end up being double or triple that because of transport costs, storage costs, handing charges, foreign taxes and distribution costs

You can see why the Govt would reject a $25 vaccine, it would be just too costly by the time it was jabbed into arms

The Govt is doing it all within the doctrine of "Socialized Medicine" to win over the collective sheeple. If the Govt works their political expediency right, there's votes in it for them - votes are important, more important than a vaccine

What I would personally like to do as far as getting vaccinated, is to wait until a vaccine has been proved to be very well trialed and successful, and get the the top of the range that's less prone to impart side effects than all the others. Since vaccination is voluntary, and it should remain voluntary, I would like to get vaccinated as a private sheep at a private clinic and pay whatever it costs out of my own pocket. I'd imagine it would be no more than $100. Not sure we can do things like that these days but it's what I'd prefer to do

I won't be getting jabbed with a "$5" needle, I'll turn that one down. I don't need to worry about it anyway, I made the smart move of decentralizing from the big city years ago and now living safely in the bush. I could tell things like this virus would happen from the advent of globalization, mass immigration and the general lack of concern about the filthy conditions of take-away food shops in the suburbs of Sydney (which was one thing that told me no one cared about our health, so I wasn't surprised that this virus came into Australia) 

Good judgement on my part to get away from the big city, and keep away, it's going to the dogs

Consumers were getting salmonella sickness and upset tummies, I got it myself. I stopped patronizing them and complained to the Local Council, armed with photos I took on the sly, about the condition of the shops - not much was done about them

Lockdowns due to Covid were the best thing that could happen, to keep people away from these filthy shops, to protect the public, in more ways than one 

Read this once more, hopefully one day you'll get what it means ...

If they did, they turned a blind eye. Only a few shops came up to scratch. The rest, 80%, were pigsties, and probably still are, but now they have to sanitize their sh!tty hands and wipe down counters, chairs and tables

Food poisoning or viruses - our attitudes towards protecting our health have been abysmal. Though I might have failed to get Local Governments full attention, Covid may yet get them to wake up
