Are you vaccinated?

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

People round here are all wearing their masks outside. I don't get it. Even NSW Health said there are no recorded transmissions outdoors. At least NSW has never mandated mask wearing outdoors, like other jurisdictions.

Inside maybe...although some experts are saying they dont help wherever worn, and may well hinder.

I've been wearing them outside since January, 2020. I'm not happy about it. Summer is hell is here at the best of times. Scientists have indicated the Wuhan virus doesn't survive under sunlight. As someone who is fully vaccinated I'm still wearing a mask because it is compulsory and out of consideration for others. I think it is finally coming to an end though.

Hope so.

Make sure you get out and about for some fresh air vitamin d and some exercise Just as important as laying low. Wear your mask if you feel vulnerable.

yeah good advice. i go for a walk in the morning away from the crowds. not a lot of vit d around atm but the one supplement i take every other day is a vit d tablet.

Zinc and echinacea are also good vitamins to take Echinacea is good for the repsiratory tract

On the contrary voodoo child. I am a law abiding citizen, a clean skin in society, with not so much as a parking ticket against my name.

I'm not saying otherwise. You mentioned earlier that you only need to worry about you and your family and that you were not concerned with others. Right?

I have a reasonably large circle of acquaintances/contacts/friends. I do not know a single person who has contracted the kung flu, let alone have complications or die from it. I know two who had adverse reactions to the covid jab. One died three days after his first jab, the other a fit young man (23) with no health issues was admitted to hospital with heart inflammation (myocarditis) and now has to take three months of work, no physical exertion of any kind. So far, the results from the human trials are not looking good. Hopefully Novavax will have better outcomes.

Well played

Honestly this is nothing compared to the anger you will see. If vaccination status is used to control movement or mores o access basic life necessities like food. A hungry mob is an angry mob.

I’ve lived all my life in a minority so I know how that feels. As for the vaccination, given my age and medical history, I decided that the risk of complications from covid are higher than the risk of the vaccine. But everyone will have their own risks and benefits to weigh up.

[mightyrooster]

there are arguments both ways i guess, mr. being in canberra makes a difference and i don't think it's clear cut whether it's better to wait or get it now.
i'm happy i've done it and i'm going to keep my head down for the next fortnight to let the vaccine work - on the morning i got it i did enough shopping for two weeks!

Yeah I’m fortunate being in Canberra so I have some time. Hopefully you have no side effects from the second dose.

Red's not even posting on this thread and comments are being directed at him..that's how silly some people have been today. Poor attention to detail and lack of patience before posting.

There are a few more contenders today coming out of this thread.

Hi RWB. How are things going? We haven’t spoken for a while. Hope all is well given the lockdown and everything.

[redwhiteblue]

Wow a lot of anger on here today. Hope everyone is keeping well.

Yes nothing worse than grown men blaming women because they can't control their anger issues. It's the 'look what you made me go and do' syndrome alive and well. Some on here can't string a sentence together so it's my fault apparently. Or Red's..but he's not even posting on this thread so I'm not sure why comments are being directed at him. Maybe there are server issues. Anyway I hope all is well with you too MR and yes we are all keeping well here in Sydney and thanks for asking.
