Majestic Princess cruise ship docks with 800 positive Covid cases onboard
A huge cruise ship with hundreds of positive cases on-board is set to disembark in Sydney early this morning. Shocked

News.com.au
November 12, 2022

A cruise ship with around 800 cases of Covid-19 on board has docked in Sydney this morning just as the state declares a fourth wave of the virus.

Almost one in four guests on board have now been diagnosed with Covid-19

The headline should be 800 fully vaccinated people catch covid on cruise ship.

Which begs the question .... so what?

From day dot there was never a claim that the vaccination would stop you catching or cure COVID.

all it indicates is that the majority of people are now vaccinated. Roll Eyes

Thanks sir Crook,
the link is here:

This thread should be in the Coronavirus area.

Cruise ships are incubators for disease.

And fat old people looking for a root?

If the major public hospitals on the east coast aren't overwhelmed with patients and facing staff shortages over the holiday break - I'll donate $1000 to charity.

Don't forget to read the replies.

So you think the QLD Chief Health Officer would still be in a job if he said that?

I call BS on that meme.

Read a funny (well, not really) story in today's The Sunday Times. Apparently, many of the passengers who boarded the Majestic Princess in Sydney yesterday didn't even know about the Covid outbreak on board until they arrived at the dock but that still didn't deter them from boarding.

Soon we'll be hearing stories like "It wasn't fair, I had to spend the entire cruise locked in a (windowless) cabin because I caught Covid on board".

Cry me a river... or an ocean in this case. Roll Eyes

His advice is far better than the “real” CHO’s as he’s not actively trying to kill people. For all we know he IS the real Dr Gerrard Tweeting from the basement he’s been locked in by his evil doppelgänger who’s been fronting press conferences in his place. So why do this bro?

John Gerrard is a parody of a doctor, who has betrayed the hippocratic oath.

This parody of John Gerrard is literally doing a better job of protecting public health.

If you have a problem with a person handing out sound medical advice, hand in your credentials.

👆 Anyone who supports vaccines want to have a go at this FACT?

Meantime I'm totally unvaccinated and I've yet to experience Covid19 personally.

Oh and I've had to take care of a triple jabbed Covid19 positive husband THREE times!

My HONEST opinion?

• The vaccines to date were rushed through and were not fit for purpose.

• The multiple jabs required to maintain vaccine passport currency is destroying people's natural immunity.

• The cumulative effect of the above 2 factors --> Covid19 numbers will continue to escalate and will slowly but surely totally destroy global human population levels. Only the fittest will survive.

Anyone care/dare to take issue with the above? Don't be afraid. I won't bite you.

I hope your luck continues.

I got the convid according to the RAT test and got over it in 3 days without being vaccinated. I did not end up in ICU like they said I would and all of the symptoms such as loss of taste completely disappeared after 3 weeks and now I have natural immunity and have not got it again unlike others that are fully vaxed and have convid many times as it keeps coming back. That is a sign of a weakened immune system and the hypochondriacs on this forum that know better would get a vax for a headache or a hemorrhoid that's how pissweak they are.
