Once again, please provide evidence of vaccine mandates that were “relaxed” starting in November and December 2021.

You said it, not me.

Either provide the evidence or retract the comment. It’s not hard.

This changed when the Omicron variant arrived in Nov-Dec 2021. Vaccination policies across government and private businesses were rightfully relaxed from this point on. I agree with those arguing this should have happened more quickly in some settings once the data became available.

Omicron variant of COVID first known to science on 24 November 2021.

Health departments collected real world data over the following weeks and by the end of the year there was enough evidence to say with confidence that vaccines were no longer reliably stopping transmission of this variant.

From this point on, in South Australia:

• The first round of COVID vaccine mandates that I'm aware were dropped in SA were SAPOL on 7 March 2022 (3 months later), and public transport and education workers on 30 March (4 months later). I'm not going to look up specific policies for every single other government agency and private business but from my recollection while others followed suit over the coming months I agree some should have been a lot quicker with this.
• The state government canned its Emergency Management Act powers in May 2024 (6 months later), and with this their ability to compel private businesses to do anything or for employers to terminate contracts on the grounds of refusal to be vaccinated against COVID.

You're welcome to search my posting history, I've been consistent in saying what governments and private businesses should have been doing during this period.

Following the emergence of Omicron and evidence that vaccines were no longer reliably stopping transmission, vaccine mandates should have been lifted, with the exception of those aligned with existing health and aged care workforce immunisation policies (which should refer to serological evidence of immunity, this could be vaccine or infection acquired).

If any governments or private businesses still have these mandates in place then it’s not something I agree with.

I'm more than happy to stand by this, and to discuss/debate how quickly these policies should have been lifted.

You seem bizarrely wedded to this idea that I am obliged to agree with (and apparently be held accountable for) every single decision related to COVID by every government and private business in every country on Earth for the past 5 years. Whether there were inconsistencies in appetite for risk by decision makers or influence of politics across the myriad of governments here and around the world is irrelevant to my own personal opinions on what should/shouldn't have happened.

I'm not particularly interested in engaging with your obsession over the fact that all restrictions were not lifted on day 1 of the pandemic with 0% vaccination coverage (notwithstanding that this would have caused even greater damage to our economy and healthcare systems, and killed thousands of Australians), and determination to spend the rest of your life fighting anyone who doesn't share this and your other delusional fringe ideologies on COVID. Good luck with this.

The take away is that people were censored, threatened and ridiculed for the mere suggestion of it.

A common theme on all things Covid was that lots of “conspiracy theories” turned out to be true.

The result is a huge loss of trust among the general public.

That’s largely because of people like you. Just so you’re aware.

Any thoughts on the current pause on external communications for health agencies without going through an official appointed or designated by the new administration?

After disruption due to Trump administration communication pause, NIH told it can continue some purchasing for research | CNN

After purchasing for research at the National Institutes of Health was put on hold last week, employees have now been told they can continue working with some current vendors, according to a memo obtained by CNN.

And I am sorry that someone ridiculed you for believing something that Bret Weinstein said.

Anyone noticed how the lunatics over in the TDS thread went from “deporting illegals is RACIST!” to “Biden deported heaps of illegals too, we swear!”

That ideological backflip happened in record time, even for those shitbags.

SP needs to get a life - Covid-19 is so 2020-2021.

Is America great again yet?

I reckon Trumpit will be as bad for the US as Brexit was for the UK. And that’s what happens when you let morons make the decisions.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Bass was all yes,yes,yes at a press conference with Trump. When decision time comes back to normal business.

 

[Mutineer]

Because he was either asleep or didn’t know where the f*ck he was.

Possibly both?

WOW...that changed fast

Funny, he also proposed this

Now, it tips are not taxed, who benefits??? - hint, its low paid workers

Now if income tax gets abolished, whom does it really benefit the most? hint, low paid workers

You guys are terrible at this stuff

how many times do you guys need to be metaphorically bashed around the head to wake up from your delusion - EVERYTHING you guys have predicted has fallen apart and your team has proven to be that toxic for the states that the people elected the guy your side tried to impeach, bankrupt, jail and then assassinate.

Normal people would just be that embarrassed by years of shit posting that they would cancel their account. not you guys, you just never ever ever learn and are on the wrong side of history

Has the CCP stopped supplying your propaganda and told you to find your own info.

Trump was sworn in a week ago and the price of eggs has not fallen.
The end of the world is happening.

Any chance the price is an overflow part of the Biden regimes incompetence.

Ahahahahahaha......woods articulates how most of us feel

Answer me this.
Do you ACTUALLY believe the BS and fantasy stuff you post?

Hey eagleboy, theses lunatics have got the failed biden regimes horror policies that trashed not just America at home but destabilised the world at the same time tied around their necks forever...every...stinking...last...one...of....these nation wrecking policies

 

[OneGreatClub]

Trump has not ended the war day one,
Has not brought down inflation day one,
Has not reduced the price of eggs day one,
Spewed BS about the LA water system,
Has put multiple incompetent DEIs into his administration,
Has released hundreds of his violent mob back into the community,
Has annoyed most of his allies
and is about to put the US in a massive tail spin
The little baby was offended by a Bishop asking him to show Christian values
And is an even bigger laughing stock than last time.
Not a bad effort for one week
What a winner.

 

[Crow till I die]

Lol...he truly is moving ike someone that no longer cares about his opponents, they tried everything to wreck him and failed and he knows its now his time to run the show and it will be largely unimpeded
