            • @Clear: So that clear things up now. Since vaccine cant and dont stop you getting virus and also spreading, you must not be in favor of mandating vaccines? Right?

              • +1

                @SickMyDuck1: It's to prevent serious disease. Always has been. I'll happily administer a jab for you.

                • @Clear: But what happened to my body my choice? You in favour of vaccine mandates?

                  • @SickMyDuck1:

                    But what happened to my body my choice?

                    Antivaxxers in a nutshell. They get mad when people push their agenda on them but think it's perfectly okay for them to push their own.

                    • @Clear: I am not anti vaxer. I have taken all of them including wuhan virus vaccine. Just not a fan of mandating with a threat of job loss

                      • @SickMyDuck1: lolz imagine lying on the internet for imaginary internet points 😂😂😂

                        You should probably go back to telling women their body autonomy doesn't matter because floating imaginary fairy in the sky said so, since you're all about bodily autonomy when it suits you 😂😂😂

            • @Clear:

              Are you one of the people with the false belief that the vaccine means you can't get COVID?

              LOL, as if the general attitude of getting the vaccine wasn't to stop the spread, thinking of the community, and saving grandma. Maybe all the politicians and health experts with all their restrictions on the unvaccinated missed the memo.

              I did surprisingly well not to catch it until several months ago.

              Lol, maybe everyone else who did catch it in those settings just didn't wear all their ppe properly?

              I'm immunocompromised that's why I was lucky enough to get molnupiravir. That stuff works amazingly well.

              Yea, my elderly relative(with like 4 comorbidities) was prescribed that too. He felt like absolute crap for the first few days that he got covid, but was back to 100% within 3 days of finishing his molnupiravir prescription.

    What you going to do after you test positive? Go to hospital and only to be told to just wait till you start to die. Our "free" Medicare is a joke nowadays

      Go to hospital and only to be told to just wait till you start to die

      Been a problem long before COVID-19 existed. Ambulance ramping for example is a real issue and can have fatal consequences.

      You isolate, like people should be doing when they know they have the flu. I used to work at a dominos and the hero store manager came in dripping with flu ones and knocked out half the staff. The store owner wanted him to come in though, because the manager lived for his work and things get done when he is around. But when he had the flu he was too sick to do anything except make other people sick, the dude was pale and dripping with sweat, he could barely stand.

      • +1

        Why do you need a test though? Can't you tell if you have flu or cold or whatever by how you feel? like it used to be for decades?And then you call in sick and stay home?

        • I feel like if the manager did have a test and took it and it was positive, then the owner would have felt obliged to tell him to stay home. Flu costs billions every year so maybe there should be a test and a social norm that says you must isolate if you have the flu. I mean there is that norm already, but maybe it would be observed more often.

        • You are saying for the last few decades you have been isolating when you got a cold?

          Covid is more serious than the common cold.

        Anything more reputable?

        What a ridiculous website. Do you know who Dr Michael Yeadon is? Where did he spend a couple of decades? Which company? Pfizer.

        What about the others? Do you know their credentials? They all face censorship and defamation for telling the public what is really happening with these depop shots, while the non-thinking public just accept what they hear from those with political affiliations and profit motives.

        You are free to actually listen to what data they present and debate them on specific points, but you don't want to do that, do you?

          A Telegram account under his name has promoted the unfounded claim that the vaccines cause recipients to become magnetic.

          Have you seen any evidence of magnetic people?

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Yeadon

          You are free to actually listen to what data they present and debate them on specific points, but you don't want to do that, do you?

          I would need more reputable sources(including smaller independent sites) or have more consensus among experts in the area before I took a look. Here's a quick fact check on some of his claims: https://www.reddit.com/r/CoronavirusUK/comments/jguhz5/mike_… .

          There is a low chance that he is correct and ignored by the MSM, but based on some of his claims and the views of the website he appears on this is infinitesimally small.

          • @ihfree: Take your time. Go through his interview. You don't need to read or hear anything that anyone else has said about any truth-speaker, except listen to what they themselves have said, and the data they are looking at and the patients they are seeing.

            Assuming you even care enough to look into it.

            • @lowgo: To be honest, no. I need more reputable sources - I'm not even talking mainstream - smaller independent publications would also be acceptable.

              • @ihfree: Watch the interview. Respond with specifics. Same with the others.

      Gosh, I didn't realise that this website had so many tinfoil hatters.

      Ah yes, I'd love to see you debate Dr Michael Yeadon (let alone the others) with that scholarly good ol' standby: the catch-all (always insightful) tinfoil hat line!

      Are you willing to debate any doctors on what they have actually said? Nah, didn't think so.

      • What makes him worth listening to over others in his field? Especially if his viewpoint isn't common within the field.

        A better question is how would he go in a debate against someone who is respected in the field.

        • What makes him worth listening to over others in his field? Especially if his viewpoint isn't common within the field.

          If commonality makes you feel comfortable, just know that the truth is being censored all over the internet. You know it is, right? USAwatchdog used to have YouTube channel. As did SGTreport. Why is it being censored? Websites attacked too. Why can't we be allowed open discourse on popular platforms?

          The censored are the very truth-tellers we need to be hearing and promoting if we actually believe in taking care of each other in this age of universal deceit.

          A better question is how would he go in a debate against someone who is respected in the field

          What makes you think he is disrespected? Is it the defamation all over the internet to those who happen to speak the truth? Or is it actually something you heard him say or do?

          • @lowgo: Commonality isn't the issue.

            There's no denying there are issues with current media, relationships with advertisers which are often big pharma. The thing with people like Yeadon is that he makes claims which can't be backed and are disproven. From a skim read of articles on him - colleagues think he has changed and interviewers are not impressed with him.

            He didn't deny the whole magnetism thing. Do you really think a vaccine could make a person magnetic?

    • I think it correlates with the number of contrary people on ozbargain generally.

    I had wuhan virus last year. It was ok. Cough runny nose and sore throat. That was it. Then I had flu few months later and it was worse than wuhan virus. I know many friends who had wuhan virus and were fine and we all are just puzzled by extreme lockdowns and penalties etc and whole economic crisis because of lockdowns and God knows what else harm it caused.

    • +1

      You're way ahead of all the other tinfoil hat wearers. Acknowledging that COVID had weakened your immune system and the flu being much worse as a result. I'm proud.

      • So it's well know fact according to vers reports that heart inflammation is worse for people who had vaccine than who did not for people under 40s. Long list of vaccine injury deaths and permanent damage caused by it for a disease mainly affecting obese people and people who had co morbidities. But burgers and pizza deals on this website gets hundreds of up votes. No responsibility there.

        • Now you've just gone backwards. This is a deal on RATs and not vaccines.

          • @Clear: Read whta i said again. It may save you from harm. Do your research. Wake up from deep sleep

                  • @Clear: Yes, i am trying to wake u up. Looking at your frequency of comments and engagement looks like this is your full time professional job in that matrix. You are in deep in it. Wake up

                    • @SickMyDuck1: A better way of putting it is this. I'm a toddler in a sandpit. Absolutely having the time of my life with the crazies.

      Never mind the fact there have been 6.5 million COVID related deaths. But it’s great you and your couple of random mates aren’t part of that figure.

      With your degree of knowledge on the virus you ought to step up and become a doctor to help our struggling hospitals filled with those that have just got a bad case of the “wuhan virus”.

      • Since covid, around 100 million died of other things

        And if you think my figure is wrong, im using a conservative 7 / 1000 mortality rate (which is common in the western world, i expect less fortunate countries have a higher rate).

        If you are scared, go get vaccinated and boosted.

        • An added 6.5 million dead in addition to your number. That alone is a pretty significant number even with measures that most of the sane population took to curb the spread of the virus. You're not doing a good job at making any decent point here.

          And I'll get vaccinated+boosted to lessen my chances of passing on COVID to someone's grandma and killing them.

          • @Reticent: Then it is best for you to stay at home, do not go out at all. Zilch, nada, naught, nowhere ok? It will lessen your chances of bumping into someone's grandma at Coles and killing them, as an example.

      • Never mind the fact there have been 6.5 million COVID related deaths

        Is that including all the people already morbidly ill, already in hospital, that got Covid in hospital and died from their existing condition, yet still get a tick in the Covid box as well?

        There has been some magic done with numbers if you scratch under the surface, but one thing we know for sure is that the total numbers of deaths is a rounding error. Certainly not worth destroying the global economy for, nor the future impact it will have on half a generation of kids that will live with the effects of development disruptions due to lock-downs and forced mask wearing.

  • +8

    Pretty sickening to read a lot of the comments here. Do people actually think Covid doesn't exist and isn't dangerous? I know a handful of people who got it, were in pain and recovered in a week or two but I also know people who have permanent heart damage because of it, young, heathy and active people. Just because you were one of the lucky ones and got off easy doesn't mean it's not real or that it's over. The biggest point of reflection during this pandemic is the freak "non believers" up rising. Honestly I don't want to share a planet with them. They are out there and will only cause issues. What a strange world we live in now.

          Censorship only matters when the hate speech and ignorance you want is allowed. On the other hand you are always the first to downvote people and deals and report them or attack them when you don't agree.

          The fact that nobody else really downvotes or upvotes but you hateful people try REALLY hard to downvote / upvote is so funny and ironic. There are only small handful of you and you are #1 users of the upvoting system lmao. Each of your 100 comments have same +5 from the exact same people. I also have gotten many reports and instant downvotes from you.

          Literally the first people to cry about censorship are the ones who censor the most or deserve to be censored the most (in this thread attacking everyone with smug ad hominem instead of just presenting your opinion).

            Voting and censorship are two completely different things. Voting is democracy, censorship is tyranny.

              @1st-Amendment: Their negative voting of deal is also censorship of the deal - it's less likely to appear on ozbargain. They are also downvoting others comments to censor.

              If that's just a "voting system" then why are YOU crying about the voting system?

              If anything, they're the one that thinks censorship is ok because they are the main user of the "voting system", both for deals and for comments - not me :) and yes, your whole crew is going around downvoting people too

              Looks like the point just whooshed over your head though!

              No-one ever deserves to be censored

              Oh really? Noone ever deserves to be censored? You ok with someone screaming racial slurs at your wife? Free speech! You ok with ISIS being the main channel on YouTube and what your children see when they log on? Just a difference of opinion, bro! Marketplace of ideas!!

              Don't censor ISIS or the Nazi camp or someone telling you your race should be genocided. NOBODY DESERVES IT! Free speech bro!!

              If you agree with censoring ISIS and Nazi, then you DO agree with censorship. You just believe in YOUR version of censorship. And I sure as hell don't trust you to censor correctly :)

              Unless, you were for sure there crying about censorship when ISIS videos were banned? Hahaha - then carry on :)) next time your family getting pushed down in society due to race and they are gaining huge traction, it's all good man, just their personal opinion. Next time someone screaming racial slurs at your kids in the Metaverse. Don't call for ban, it's just their personal opinion. They just don't like the race and think it's inferior. Nobody should be censored, right? They should also be allowed to buy Facebook and YouTube ads :)

                Yes, because they have the power to not watch it if they don't like it.

                Don't censor ISIS or the Nazi camp or someone telling you your race should be genocided

                Your race, whatever that is, should be genocided. Did this trigger you? Should the Thought Police come and arrest me now because you are so emotionally fragile?

                next time your family getting pushed down in society due to race

                What? So down-voting a deal now means racial oppression? If you disagree with me you are literally Hitler lol…

                They should also be allowed to buy Facebook

                No-one is forcing you to use Facebook. If you don't like the content, do what I did and stop looking at it. Problem solved, no Thought Police required.

    • Do people actually think Covid doesn't exist and isn't dangerous?

      Do people actually think it's that dangerous? Then they would stay home, wear three masks, get all the vaccine shots they can(which they don't even recommended for those under 50 to get a 2nd booster)

    • +3

      Do people actually think Covid doesn't exist and isn't dangerous?

      I think Covid is not much worse than the Flu and the draconian measures put in place to try and control the uncontrollable have and will cause far more damage long term.
      The government admitted that these measures had no cost benefit analysis done on them and were not based on any science but rather 'public perception'.

      The biggest point of reflection during this pandemic is the freak "non believers" up rising.

      You read too much fake news. I worked for the Health Dept during the peak authoritarianism period and it had very little to do with science and almost everything to do with politics. An example is NSW Health counting those already in hospital without Covid, that caught Covid in hospital, as being part of increased Covid hospitalisations. I can't recall the exact number but it was significant, like at least 1/2 of all hospitalisations were people already in hospital that were conveniently added to the numbers to make it look as bad as possible.

      The uprising of which you speak is more people becoming aware of theses types of charade. If YOU want to be afraid and live in fear then YOU are free to do that. But don't force ME to play your silly games.

  • +5

    Just another awful response from the government, since nobody looks at the science of new reports coming out. Covid is politicized these days.
    How about giving away N95 masks or hand sanitizers to the people that are entitled here (most vulnerable), prevention is always better!
    And research shows that a N95 mask is at least 70-80 effective at preventing infection.

    Instead waste tax payers money that doesn't actually help people much in these tests.

          I think you mean to say there is no cure for covid. There's certainly ways to treat covid like Sotrovimab and molnupiravir.

          There's plenty of other tests that must be done for things that have no cure. Take my cancer for example. My CgA levels are always elevated in tests, but there's no cure. Only treatment.

          So RATs have their purpose. They certainly help confirm if people have covid and can prevent the spread to more vulnerable people. Like nursing homes for example.
