    I have a strong memory of having a wound on my lower abdomen when I was a child (primary school aged) - I put a bandaid over it, as you do. The rash I developed from the bandaid (unsure what brand) was far worse than the wound itself!

    When I was in high school - the cleaning chemicals they used to clean the benches in the science lab would give me terrible rashes on my forearms - I still get this occasionally, food courts or other venues where I'm likely to lean with my forearms on a surface.

    Yes. Time to be really practical and realistic.

    Aviation? Another comment. I would love to fly with a vaccinated Aviation company. Would avoid those that aren't.

    You should consider the positive. By eliminating those in the lower portion, the median IQ of the group remaining is automatically elevated and while, you may remain in the lower quantile of that, you're still receiving an uplift in absolute terms in comparison with the previous situation.

    I get the flu booster every year. It's really not a big deal at all.

    The technology behind the covid vaccine is the same as the flu vaccine. In fact once covid settles down, they'll come as one vaccine (covid and flu booster, one jab, once per year). So in terms of long term side effects, well if there was any, we'd know about it from the flu vaccine. The only difference is the anti-bodies change from influenza to novel coronavirus sars-cov-2.

    What I also know is that I'd rather get vaccinated than wait to find out if covid will kill me, this delta variant is no joke.

    And possibly not even using a big, scary needle for administering it but a microneedle array patch.

    I have heard at least one Australian company is researching it as well

    Progress in microneedle array patch (MAP) for vaccine delivery - PubMed

    what sample size are you looking to for
    4.97 billion doses have been administered globally

    have you been vaccinated for any other diseases ?
    ie: measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, polio

    luckily most of these diseases are rare in Australia and virtually eradicated thanks to, ------ vaccines.

    Many argue that the vaccines were developed in the last 18 months and are poorly tested. That's simply not true.

    Corona Virus variants have been around for over 100 years. Human infections were discovered in the 1960s. More recent examples are SARS & MERS.
    Coronavirus - Wikipedia

    Vaccine research was bootstrapped by SARS about 18 years ago. The basis for the current vaccines are not 100% new, they've been in development for over a decade and they have been deployed in humans against other COVID variants.

    When COVID-19 was identified, researchers already had a huge head start. Then there's been the collective focus of virtually every resource humanity can bring...

    It's likely that the COVID-19 vaccines are already the most researched and observed vaccines in history.

    Call me cynical but I think its quite selfish for fearful adults not to get vaccinated, because what it facilitates or implies is that young kids will need to fill that gap and do the heavy lifting.

    Get vaccinated - do it for the rest of us if not for yourself.

    Sorry, but people who are happy to 'wait and see' and let others do their bit to quash the pandemic on their behalf is well, a little selfish TBH.

    Do you even know how to read medical data?

    Here is a list of people who actually know how to read and interpret medical data and they are telling you vaccines are safe.

    - Your GP who has a degree in medicine
    - TGA who employ hundreds of people with advanced degrees in medical science
    - ATAGI which is a peak body of top most experts in the fields of immunology, epidemiology and medical sciences
    - FDA (a US version of TGA with basically 100 times more resources)
    - Every single health regulator in every country in the world

    If you are waiting for you local conspiracy-theorist/natural-healer/essential-oils-distributor to ‘okay’ the data, you will be waiting forever!

    How much work are you going to be able to do with Long Co-vid? How many people are in hospital or dead from work place acquired accidents and afflictions? How many people in hospital because they took a Co- vid vaccine and are stuggling for every breath ?? How many people because they didnt ?? How much irresponsibility and selfishness is too much. How many stats will be enough?

    More data?

    Really?

    There is probably more data around on these vaccines than there is on any other vaccine ever made.

    You could read for months and still not get through it all.

    For goodness sake.
