More bad news for the lockdown zealots;

Britain's daily Covid figures fell for the fourth day in a row today as Boris Johnson faced renewed calls to get the country back to normal amid signs that the Omicron variant is less severe than previous incarnations.
It comes as the former head of the UK's vaccine taskforce suggested that coronavirus should be treated more like flu from now on, with booster jabs reserved only for the most vulnerable and at risk, amid signs that the Omicron variant is less severe than previous strains. Dr Clive Dix, chairman of the government agency from December 2020 until April, called for a return to a 'new normality' and a focus on disease management, saying: 'It is pointless keeping giving more and more vaccines to people who are not going to get very ill. We should just let them get ill and deal with that.'

You can always tell if someone isn't taking the mask seriously when they have not pinched the top to fit the nose. If he has even worn that other than on his chin he has not pinched it at the nose.

The one he is wearing does not have metal strip for nose.

You can't tell. Some masks like that have a wire over the nose. When the mask is flat in the package the wire is flat, but it's there and you can bend it to fit your nose.
 
The Australian government's treatment of Novak Djokovic is shameful.

Novak Djokovic's chances of playing in the Australian Open still hang in the balance tonight as the country's immigration minister considers using his personal powers to re-cancel the anti-vaxxer's visa - despite a judge freeing him from detention this morning. The tennis star celebrated his reprieve by posting a picture of himself getting back onto the courts with a midnight training session in Melbourne on Twitter - alongside a message thanking the judge. 'I’m pleased and grateful that the Judge overturned my visa cancellation. Despite all that has happened, I want to stay and try to compete,' Djokovic wrote alongside an image of himself on court with his team.

But this pales in comparison to the way it treats its own citizens.

Whenever I see RWExtremists lamenting how people are avoiding sickness and death, I have to bite my lip to avoid telling them to lead the way… which they will do eventually anyhow.

I agree entirely.

He should have been deported without delay, and banned from returning for five years, like any other person whose visa is revoked at the border.

Allowing him and his family to turn this simple and common process into a media circus due to his wealth and fame is a total disgrace.

Why ought he have been deported without delay? Djokovic obtained an exemption from the government.

Djokovic breaks his silence as his family launch accusations at Australian officials

Novak Djokovic is adamant he wants to remain in Australia, as his family thanks the judge who presided over his case but stays silent on allegations the tennis star posed maskless with children after being told he had COVID.
www.abc.net.au www.abc.net.au

In its submission to the court, the federal government argued Djokovic should not be exempt from vaccination requirements for international travellers.

Both Tennis Australia and the Victorian government had granted him a medical exemption to compete despite not meeting vaccine requirements, due to his recent COVID-19 infection.

On arrival last week, Border Force officials revoked his visa, and the judge ruled Djokovic was not given a reasonable period to respond.

Djokovic did no such thing. He did not deceive anybody. He applied for and was granted an exemption.

If the Australian government's position is now 'we changed our mind', there is still no reason to ban him for five years.
 

Anti-Vax Leader Urges Followers to Drink Their Own Urine to Fight COVID​


Anti-COVID-19 “Vaccine Police” leader Christopher Key has a new quarter-baked conspiracy theory for his anti-vax followers to use to cure themselves of COVID-19: Drink their own urine. “The antidote that we have seen now, and we have tons and tons of research, is urine therapy....“This vaccine is the worst bioweapon I have ever seen,” he concluded. “I drink my own urine!”

What a world. Intelligent people are being silenced so that uneducated people won't be offended.
 
Well, finally I'm getting my booster shot tomorrow - somewhat late, but it could have been worse.

They tell me it's a Pfizer vaccine (after 2 doses of AZ). Over here, Pfizer's vaccine have been authorized for use up to 90 days after the expiration date (not to throw them away then they expire, perhaps due to mismanagement), and it seems a considerable percentage are indeed expired, though I do not know the actual numbers.
I'm not sure what impact - if any - that would have on effectiveness if I get an expired vaccine. I know many drugs are okay after the expiration date, but I'm not sure for how long that would be for the Pfizer vaccine.
