And... wave after wave of endless Covid with it's associated death and sickness continues.

Death numbers that are at least 5 times more than the flu according to Australian Bureau of Statistics figures for last year.

From page 14 of today's The Sunday Times.

I wonder if our governments are going to mention the C(ovid) word ever again, especially in vaccination advertising campaigns?

Covid wasn't mentioned again in this year's "Don't Assume You're Immune" WA government advertising campaign which didn't seem to be on the TV and the newspapers anywhere near as long as it was last year (they didn't mention Covid last year either).

"current data does not indicate that this variant leads to more severe illness than other variants in circulation." WHO reported on Friday.

So, it's still at least 5 times more deadly than the flu with a countless number of extra long Covid cases to come, I take it?

And, again... I'm still wondering when the world's airlines (including our own Qantas and Virgin) are going to be held accountable and made to pay compensation for spreading Covid, flu and other diseases worldwide all year round with not the slightest effort being made to do anything about it?

I won't be holding my breath waiting for that to happen.

For a Pandemic. It sure did come and go so quickly!
Once Trump was out and Biden in, the world had its vaccines on the plate.
As for all those billions in poor countries who never got the vaccines (they couldn't afford 'that.many' jabs). Seems the Pandemic just didn't show up either.

Only the World that lived dependently on the American Media Left narrative of archaic Western Politics SEEMED TO HAVE GOTTEN SICK (in opposition to Trump).

...BECAUSE ITS POLITICS, ARCHAIC WESTERN POLITICS - WAS ALWAYS SICK.

Correct.

Africa - the continent which had hardly any Covid vaccines had hardly any Covid deaths.

What does that say?

I would say you're mistaken.

I don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't call a quarter of a million deaths "hardly any".

Official reports suggest that Africa was somehow spared from the worst effects of COVID-19, despite warnings that the pandemic would be devastating for the continent. But researchers have uncovered a different picture of the pandemic’s impact in Africa.

African countries consistently reported lower rates of COVID-19 infections and deaths between 2020 and 2022 than countries elsewhere, despite fewer resources to tackle a widespread pandemic. One factor contributing to this so-called “Africa paradox” has been the challenge in gathering accurate data, McKay and team said.

Hi Carl

Your dementia is showing.

You wrote

I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SEE THROUGH THE BS

You really do think you have special powers don't you.

This is delusional.

You are now in a rabbit hole by yourself

The consequence of spending too much time obsessing over yourself.

Tragic

You missed a crucial word.

And the Yanks with a much smaller population Africa had well over 1 million deaths.

This was also in yesterday's The West Australian. Not on the front page where it should be... it was on about page 10.

‘Have a serious think’: Health Minister Mark Butler urges COVID boosters as new NB.1.8.1 variant surges

Quote:

Health Minister Mark Butler has urged Australians to get their COVID booster jab after a surge in infections from the new subvariant NB.1.8.1.

The variant is behind surging infections in parts of Asia, with the World Health Organisation reporting it is spreading faster than other circulating strains.

Wastewater screening in WA has detected the new highly contagious variant of Omicron as the dominant variant in Perth.

Mr Butler said people aged over 75 should seek out a booster if it’s been more than six months since their last, while those aged between 65 and 74 should get one if it has been more than a year.

“For everyone else, have a serious think,” he warned.

Here's a radical thought, "Butterballs" - how about you and the Federal government "grow a pair" and stop (apparently) being afraid of the antivaxxers, antimaskers, antilockdowners and your big business buddies and actually do something useful for a change like run a national advertising campaign on TV and in the newspapers telling people about the ongoing dangers of Covid (which is still at least 5 times more deadly than the flu) and to get up to date with their vaccinations?

Oh, and to "mask up" in risky situations - especially on planes and on public transport (oops, we also can't say the M(ask) word anymore, can we?).

And, while you're at it, tell the States to do the same thing with their vaccination advertising campaigns. You can start with WA which, as I've mentioned several times here recently, didn't say a word about Covid in their "Don't Assume You're Immune" recent advertising campaign. Just like last year.

I know a few people who have been quite sick the past couple of weeks and they have/had no idea if it was Covid or the flu or something else (they never bother to test, of course).

And, I can guarantee the majority of people here in Australia have had no more than 2 or 3 Covid vaccinations since 2021... a lot of them probably haven't even had 1.

Unbelievable (deliberate) negligence by our governments.
