          Our luck just ran out in this case. May as well throw this quote out -

          "Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise."

    Why doe this thread get at least 9 pages!?

    Seriously though, I would have thought a 12 month trial subscription wouldn't hurt. And I would be really interested to know if the subscription really was non-tracking in any way; so many newsletters come from bulk mailers that track everything and it would be refreshing to find ones that don't (they exist, but they are not common these days).

              @htc: Servers still up.
              I made a post earlier this year (despite not being authorised to), about my experience having Novavax. I just got sick of all the negativity and impatience waiting for it.
              I was laughed at amd ridiculed by my work colleagues and family. Now they are all rushing to get Pfizer. Even better is I bought a Maton guitar with most of the money I received.
              Anyway, I'm sure the Ozb traffic went into overdrive faster than a $3 big mac deal.
              Reality is, having a vaccine is the only out of this mess. Who knows, you can potentially be infected twice? Did you John Laws had Polio twice @15 years apart. Diseases like polio and meningitis killed kids, or left them disabled for life. My uncle had meningitis and was part of the reason why I decided to take the vax, for the benefit of humanity.

        • htc on 10/08/2021 - 22:45

          People against this page drive a lot of comment, often people do something they want but getting the opposite of what they want. Several posts were vindication of this phenomenon. Looks like it will reach 600 soon, for so many plus vote, it will only get more as it will attract more attention, it is now hard to stop this force, may the force be with you op!

You're putting it in your body so of course, they should consider the safety of this never been used technology. "Why would you want to take the risk of these brand new mRna vaccine technologies? These vaccines are a few months old, they're never been used before. We don't know the long term safety profile." Dr Michael Yeadon, Chief Scientific Officer, Former VP PFIZER! Anyone person with a modicum of a brain cell would look at how putting a new EXPERIMENTAL vaccine that's been on the market for a few months in their bodies, with complete immunity for the manufacturers is side-eye worthy.

            @DogGunn: Perhaps you're failing to grasp the statement. It's the bigger picture…
            It's the division. It's the segregation. It's the two tier citizenry that's being welcomed open arms. Only in the UK the past few days did they start segregating people in transport. If you know your history you'll know Rosa Parks was famed for the moment where she said no to this very treatment, saying no to being divided on the bus from the 'white folk', which had went on for decades. History is our best teacher, it tells us lessons unbiased. And if it's not acknowledged now, it's willingly ignored.
