    Quite unfair for the people who are trying to get vacinated when they actually cant. So they miss out on this deal not because of their actions but the slow rollout by the goverment.

          Well people better hurry up and get vaccinated if they want to be in that first 80% and claim this awesome offer! For those who can't get vaccinated due to health reasons, please email me ([email protected]) with proof of your condition (same burden of evidence as proof of vaccination) and I'm happy to spot them a free 3 months.

      Why? Literally, why would anyone do it? Your government already told you that there's no concessions for vaxxers, borders won't be reopen, vaxxers are not exempt from masks and lockdowns, so why would anyone with half a brain do it now with vaccines that are proven to not work with new strains and needing have booster shots every 6 months if you can just wait for a better vaccine in 2024?

      • listentomystory on 10/08/2021 - 17:28

        Gov: here's free vaccine that reduces the complication of Covid. The chance you die from Covid is significantly reduced and its long term effect won't be as severe.
        Antivax: if i'm not able to travel to less fortunate countries who have difficulty obtaining vaccine, I'm not getting it.

        because no one in the ICU with covid are not fully vaccinated, done, next question :)

        https://www.9news.com.au/national/coronavirus-disease-of-the…

        "Of the 175, 168 were not vaccinated. The remaining (seven) patients had one dose. There's been no patients in intensive care who have been fully vaccinated."

        Anyways, it's your life at stake, everyone I care about is vaxxed up so im cool, if your parents/yourself become one of those statistics dont say no one warned you

        • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2021 - 20:10

          Let me expand on a bit you deliberately omitted and tried to make impression that there is 175 people in ICU right now:

          "There's been 175 patients admitted to intensive care this year across the country," he said. "Of the 175, 168 were not vaccinated."

          So when you include time frame when practically no one in this country was vaccinated do you really expect me trust anything you say?

          Next question indeed.

            When was there an outbreak as serious as the current one in NSW, anytime this year?

            • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2021 - 20:14

              @DogGunn: You can speculate as much as you want but I can guarantee you that weasel statement "this year" was not put there by accident.

              • DogGunn on 10/08/2021 - 20:15

                @[Deactivated]: Yeah, because it would be pointless referring to the previous year, where 0% of patients in intensive care were vaccinated.

                Are you thinking this through before you posted?

                • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2021 - 20:18

                  @DogGunn: OK, so outbreak started month ago but we include statistics for half a year. Makes total sense. If you want hide something.

                  • DogGunn on 10/08/2021 - 20:20

                    @[Deactivated]: Not everything is a conspiracy dude.

                    Vaccination has only been available since about March in Australia. If they said "since March" the figures probably would've been very similar.
                    If they said since this outbreak began, they probably would drop off 10 or so cases.

                    There's nothing inherently suspicious about using this year as a time frame. 90+% of cases that have been in ICU would have been from the current NSW outbreak.

                    • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2021 - 20:25

                      @DogGunn: 10 or so? OK, let's see.

                      62 people in ICU Australia wide as of today.

                      Are you thinking this through before you posted?

            It would be better [for Signal] if you could choose to associate your mobile number to or for "chosen" people, rather than do so without control and also better to not rely upon a phone number of any kind whatsoever.

    As long as it's a bargain, people's opinions on topics outside of the deal are null and void. If it's a freebie that's easy to take part in (which applies to most of the populace) and for those that can't? See it as a geo constriction that often occurs.

    This is a bargain website not a soapbox opportunity to ridicule others for their personal choices (for or against) and arguing with strangers isn't going to change their mind either.
