    Was thinking we should get an ozbargain forum post similar to the birthday deal but for the vaxxed. That'll do it for now

  • Getting Ready.

  • +12

    Imagine it was free 4x AA eneloops. Ozbargain would have the first fully vaccinated community forum.

    • But is delivery free? IKEA click & collect kills the deal.

      • IKEA have LADDA, which to my understanding seems to be like an ALDI version of eneloops. Kind of like how Pfizer and AZ are viewed.

                        Do you know what's inside injection? No. Check.
                        Do you need boosters every 5 months? Yes. Check.
                        Is past Covid immunity way better that one from injection? Yes. Check.

                        What misinformation am I spreading again?

                        P.S. You forgot to downvote.

                          @[Deactivated]: First of all you said QUARTERLY boosters, now you've changed to 5 months. As far as I am aware there has been no official communication on any form of boosters.

                          This is very clear misinformation. And it's worrying that you don't recognise that.

                          Do we know what's inside the injection - yes, anyone who has read up on the vaccine knows how it works.

                          Secondly it is normal that past <insert disease> immunity is greater than vaccination, but you have to CATCH THE DISEASE to get that.

                          The chances of hospitalisation, serious illness, death are much higher if you catch the disease whilst you are not vaccinated.

                          • @p1owz0r: They said they'll look at boosters but so far studies have not shown any real benefit to them. AstraZaneca have also said at this stage they don't see boosters being necessary… And that's from a pharma company

                              Here you go:

                              Over the last few months, Pfizer and Bourla have argued that an initial booster shot would likely be needed six to 12 months after initial vaccination.

                              https://www.businessinsider.com.au/pfizer-ceo-albert-bourla-…

                              and:

                              The effectiveness of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine steadily declines over time, dropping to about 84% for vaccinated people about four to six months after getting their second dose, according to CEO Albert Bourla.

                              https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/28/pfizers-ceo-says-covid-vacci…

                              Pfizers expected revenue from the covid vaccine is $46billion this year.
                              It isn't in their interest to make a one shot vaccine.

                            Do we know what's inside the injection - yes, anyone who has read up on the vaccine knows how it works.
                            No one does, it's patented formula. Stop spreading misinformation that mRNA injection is a vaccine, it's not

                            Secondly it is normal that past <insert disease> immunity is greater than vaccination, but you have to CATCH THE DISEASE to get that.
                            You will. Stop spreading misinformation that injection protects you from getting COVID

                            The chances of hospitalisation, serious illness, death are much higher if you catch the disease whilst you are not vaccinated.

                            @p1owz0r: Boosters are coming, Izrael is already starting to get the 4th jab.

                            Remember one thing, whenever you're listening to glads, scammo and alike, whenever you don't hear a CLEAR answer as most times you don't, like for example reopening dates and benefits if fully vaccinated etc. Know you've been lied to:) it has been proven over and over again.

                            Mark my words, you'll be getting a booster, you'll be giving certain time frame to take it, if you don't your status as fully vaccinated will be revoked, frozen.

                            Mu variant is around the corner,
                            Wonder what poor soul will be blamed/framed this time for releasing it into the society.

                            STOP calling people names, antivax is someone who doesn't want to take ANY vaccines. Don't go slapping people that don't want the Covid-19 jab (won't call it vaccine as technically, medically it's not a vaccine) antivax, it's wrong labelling. Be informed, stay safe.

          Can I ask where you got your numbers from?
          Public sources state the number of cases in India is about 33M. I don't know where you got the other 867M people from…?

          I stand by my statement. Health care is expensive. I don't give a crap if you don't want to get vaccinated. Your choice. I do care that my tax has to pay for your decision if you end up in hospital.

          • +2

            @Lord Fart Bucket:

            Can I ask where you got your numbers from?

            Do you remember Pluck-A-Duck from Hey Hey? That big spinny wheel thing where someone picks something at random?

            I'd imagine it's somewhat similar for these people and their "facts".

        • These numbers are 100% wrong. 33m Indians were diagnosed with COVID. 440k died. India had almost 5m excess deaths over this period, so the real number of deaths is likely much higher, just as the real number of infections could have been much higher as the testing rates were poor, with over 70% of people in some regions that got a test finding out it is positive.

      • It is also free if you smoke, or are overweight. Both of which have killed many more people than COVID ever will.

    • Lots of negs, but I'm not seeing any substantial rebuttals to your statement. I for one live within an LGA of concern and right now am being told no jab, no work. The biggest issue, besides the complete and utter disregard for a person's individual freedom of choice for their own body and health, is the fact that the vaccines are made out to be the "ticket out".

      Does it mitigate illness if you catch COVID? Yes.
      Does it stop you from contracting the virus and possibly transmitting it? No.
      If one is vaccinated, does that person require every other person around them to be vaccinated in order for their own vaccine to work effectively? No.
      Has our government considered other nations whose populations are mostly fully vaccinated and their current situation now of degrading vaccine efficacy? I don't know?
      Have we ever in human history, ever eliminated a respiratory virus via vaccine? No. Will we? Maybe, but certainly doesn't look that way.

      I understand this is a heated topic, but I'm sure it would be greatly beneficial for people on both sides to stick to the up to date scientific findings/reports/papers. What I typically see from those who are pro-COVID vaccines are condescending, rude, impatient and a lack of compassion. On the contrary, there are some people who are anti-COVID vax and anti-vax altogether who are likewise the same.

      • +3

        It is expected that people will carry and transmit when they are vaccinated, of course, which means that those who aren't are at much greater risk of catching it (by sheer volume)

        They are then at risk of serious illness, hospitalisation, death.

        The idea is not to eliminate this virus - it's proven too easy to transmit - but to live with it, in the same way as we do with the flu.

        • Thanks for your response. What's your opinion on early treatment with medicines we have available to us now? There's plenty of doctors around the world who have done so with great success.

          • @m0usju1c3: Can you give me some examples?

            I have heard that monoclonal antibodies - and especially a combination of such - are effective, however they are only just becoming available in Australia at low numbers.

          • +2

            @m0usju1c3: Please note that it doesn't stop you from transmitting the virus but it does radically reduce transmission. Nothing is 100%.

    • +2

      Facebook is not exactly a reliable source

    • -2

      Labor wanted to help stimulate the economy while incentivising fence-sitters who will only get vaccinated if it personally benefits them. It's a brilliant scheme idea that will probably happen in about 6 months once the wheels fall off our healthcare system and we're looking at a 70% vacced rate that isn't enough.

      LNP: Always late to the party

      • +2

        Seems like a mostly bad idea because it incentivises people to wait until the government pays them (yer, with your tax dollars) to do something they should do of their own accord. Hence delays some vaccinations and also encourages people to hold out on the next thing that they should do of their own accord for themselves or the community.

        I don't think we want more wasted handouts, even if it's not to corporations this time.

        • Unfortunately, there's plenty of people that will not go out of their way to get vaccinated because 'they should do of their own accord'. That's just the reality. I personally know of at least a handful of people that would leap at it just to net a few hundy. I don't personally care, I'm double vaxxed, but you need carrot not stick.

          • +1

            @OfTheOverflow: The carrot will become clear, it is not dying.

            Look at the US now, thousands of stories of antivaxxers expressing regret on their death beds.

            It is funny, all these antivaxxers had conspiracies about how the government is trying to control us with the vaccine and thin the herd. Well, not getting the vaccine is killing off the stupid, gullible, fat, and/or lazy people. They are the ones causing the thinning of the herd and the ones being thinned are themselves…

          There is no research to suggest this, and all studies so far have shown the vaccine to be wholly beneficial.

          Also, as you so wrongly pointed out, Pfizer has been approved by the FDA, and AZ and Moderna are on the brink of approval. How can one person claim to be so knowledgeable about something whilst simultaneously being so factually wrong.

            @Fesnyng: When they already have a certain belief, everything else they research/read inevitably only confirms what they believe.

    anyone with experience care to share if the points are useful in any way and/or if 1000 points is a meaningful quantity?

      I use it and get to platinum every year. Just above 30000 points. It’s pretty good. Around about $500 in vouchers for woolies or straight into CBA account as well as I have one a few comps with them. 50% of Garmin comes round some times.

      Recently I had 50% of my flight refunded to (before taxes) and I couldn’t even get on the flight. So there is a heap of benefits. Plus $5 bucks a week just for moving.

      • thanks appreciate the response! looks like too hard for me right now.

      • Wait so you can actually choose cash or woolies voucher? Since when was that implemented?

    • +2

      1000 points itself isn't meaningful. Reward levels are generally at every 5000 points. But each activity only grants limited points so to get to the next level you need these 1000 point increments. Basically, only useful in combination with other point activities, in which case it may be useful.

      • thanks appreciate the response! looks like too hard for me right now.

  • No way to do it in app yet. Need to update app too to see the new menu option
