Around 75% of the Roosters squad have had or are currently dealing with covid

That Bellerive Oval wicket is rather green one has to say - Aus 4-85 after the first session - Out - Warner 0 (22) / Khawaja 6 (26) /Smith 0 (2) / Labuschagne 44 (53) - Not Out - Head 31 (33) and Green 2 (8).

200 would be a fair score from here and a chance to bowl at England under lights with a responsive pitch.

. The first product in history which doesn't stop you catching it, spreading it or dying of it to be called a vaccine.

You’ve never heard of the Flu vaccine then? Heaps of people who get the Flu vaccine still get it.

The point of this vaccine that it significantly reduces your chances of catching & spreading the virus, and tends to reduce the severity of symptoms if you do. People get vaccinated to protect their parents & grandparents, or others in the community who are at risk. Not everyone is a selfish maskhole.

I can see people getting covid boosters every year exactly like the Flu shot for a long time to come.As the protection you receive from each shot significantly reduces over time.

To be honest the vaccine mandate at the moment in my opinion is redundant. If the plan is to let it rip then everyone catching it is a part of it, why does it matter whose vaccinated or unvaccinated? You’re literally only affecting yourself at this point and when that’s the case, why does it matter?

I get that if you’re vaccinated you have less chance of going to hospital but that chance is low anyway. I wouldn’t mind a system where vaccinated people get preferential treatment (within reason) simply because the unvaxxed could have helped themselves and chose not to. But if we’re all going to get it then it’s really just about protecting yourself, and again at that point it really should just be up to you.

Before anyone shoots me down for being an anti-vaxxer lol I am double vaxxed and when eligible I’ll be triple vaxxed. I just don’t hate the unvaccinated and whilst most of their reasoning is nonsense I can’t begrudge people for not trusting their government, hell I can see many of them feeling very vindicated after watching our governments performance these last few months.

It's not easy for state and federal govts trying to deal with all things Covid.
Our society is a mess. Supply chains are crumbling, and record daily Covid death rate yesterday in NSW.
It's easy for their opponents to stand on the sidelines whinging and whining, they don't have to do it.
Hope none of our players have 'long covid', they could be sidelined for many months.

I would have agreed a couple months ago, Covid was and still is a guessing game, it’s not like there’s a blueprint to follow to get out of this. For that and also the media misleading people through hot takes and people misleading themselves through lack of comprehension (sometimes on purpose) they have my sympathy.

However their lack of preparation for letting it rip along with the sheer arrogance, smugness and the care or lack thereof they’ve shown over the people they govern has not gone unnoticed.

I am so sick of reading all the rubbish on here from the Know alls who actually know fark all on here.

The QLD CHO said yesterday they don't class anyone who hasn't had the booster as FULLY VACCINATED, he also said they count EVERY death of anyone who has tested positive to Covid , or is presumed to have had Covid, as a Covid death, because it is too hard to work out what they really died of, even if they have been in palliative care suffering from Cancer, Heart Disease, whatever for years.

The CEO of Phizer said recently that their vaccine is virtually useless against Omicron, which accounts for 97% of new cases, and they are HOPING to have a vaccine ready in March.

The 5 cent masks everyone wears have also been proven useless.

The death rate including ALL cases since Omicron emerged is 0.03% of new cases, including the ones with serious other illnesses, and the average age of deaths is in the 80's.

So get your jabs , wear your masks, sign in everywhere you go, get your kids jabbed and masked, even though they have virtually no chance of being affected by this thing, get on your knees and suckup all the bullshiit they are feeding you.

When Covid first hit they told us it had a death rate of 10% for the first 3 months, which is fuucking serious, and measures had to be taken which I agreed with, the next 3 months they told us the death rate was 5%, still fuucking bad.

Then they started to tell us that the average age was 85, and that 90% of the victims has serious other health issues.

For the last 3 months of last year the daeth rate was 0.2% still including all the aged and infirm. For the last month it has been 0.03% deaths to new cases, so something has changed, and it's nothing to do with the untested, unproven INSTANT vaccine . The first product in history which doesn't stop you catching it, spreading it or dying of it to be called a vaccine.

I know all deaths are tragic to someone, and I feel for the victims families, but the facts do not justify the reactionary measures taken by our so called leaders.

You are all entitled to your opinions and so am I. And I won't be bullied into not expressing mine just because most of you here seem to believe the information, which I think is wrong

I won't be entering into any further discussion about this subject.

Fair points mate.

My only comment on the Coronavirus is that in the 2000 or so years that it's known to have been in existence, it has never mutated as quickly as it has over the last two years. It's almost like it was genetically modified to mutate like it has.

It’s a by product of the world’s population. The more people that catch the virus, the more often it will mutate. This virus has had the opportunity to infect more people because the population is much greater and living more densely than previous pandemics.

Letting rip...should never have happened.
There should've been a very slow, very controlled easing of some restrictions.
There wasn't.
State govts and Federal govt seemed to cave in to the anti-vax, anti-restrictions protesters, and went down the let rip road.
The anti-vax protesters marched thru Sydney today, screaming their opposition to little kids being vaccinated.
One placard read, para: that it was like persecution of the Jews in 1940
Their poster boy? Yes, the placards read "Novak", of course.
Straight from a US forum, how Australia's Covid rules are like Nazi Germany and the yellow stars Jews were forced to wear.
How Australia has gone full Nazi with vaccine passports, " no jab no fly" etc...and making people answer the phone every 30 mins when they're quarantining at home instead of in govt facilities. (SAust).
How Aust has gone full Nazi having Covid restrictions.

Exactly and now they have got away without any repercussions if you think this is the last man made virus they are going to produce you are surely mistaken. Who needs to go to war with nukes just bring nations to their knees economically with a virus.

Mary had a little lamb.
She also had a Rooster,
They all went and got the jab,
But Snuffed out after the booster..

[Rocky Rhodes]

Came across a jem on FB that sums things up, Here's the cut and paste..

"Among all the vaccines I have known in my life (diphtheria, tetanus,measles, rubella, chickenpox,hepatitis, meningitis and tuberculosis), i want to also add flu and pneumonia I have never seen a vaccine that forced me to wear a mask and maintain my social distance, even when you are fully vaccinated. I had never heard of a vaccine that spreads the virus even after vaccination. I had
never heard of rewards, discounts, incentives to get vaccinated. I never saw discrimination for those who didn't. If you haven't been vaccinated no one has tried to make you feel like a bad person. I have never seen a vaccine that threatens the relationship between family, colleagues and friends. I have never seen a vaccine used to threaten livelihoods, work or
school. I have never seen a vaccine that would allow a 12-year-old to override parental consent. After all the vaccines I listed above, I have never seen a vaccine like this one, which discriminates, divides and judges society as it is. And as the social fabric tightens… It's a powerful vaccine! She does all these things except IMMUNIZATION. If we still need a booster dose after we are fully vaccinated, and we still need to get a negative test after we are fully vaccinated, and we still need to wear a mask after we are fully vaccinated, and still be hospitalized after we have been fully vaccinated, it will likely come to “It's time for us to admit that we've been completely deceived."
