Australia signs global deal securing access to future COVID-19 vaccines

Australia will have access to some of the world's leading COVID-19 vaccine candidates after the Federal Government committed more than $120 million to enter a global vaccine agreement.More than 150 countries, representing 64 per cent of the world's population have signed on to the COVAX global vaccines facility

The deal gives Australia the opportunity to buy doses for up to half the population if one of the vaccines in the scheme is successfulThe Federal Government has struck a deal to join the global vaccines facility known as COVAX, which is co-led by the World Health Organization , epidemic response group CEPI and the Vaccine Alliance of Governments and Organisations .

Health Minister Greg Hunt said the Government's initial $123 million investment gave Australia the opportunity to buy doses for up to half the population if one of the vaccines in the scheme was successful, with purchases of doses to be negotiated as potential vaccines are proven to meet safety and effectiveness standards."It gives us a place at the front at the queue, but it also acts as a credit towards any vaccines we may purchase through that facility," he said.

Maybe if they just mixed all the potential vaccines together, that might work. Or turn us into virusman, which is like spiderman but more of a sticky blob that has no real talents.

Front of the queue? Does he mean queue jumping?

Morons. HCQ + Zinc has been clinically proven to be a cure and preventative, filling the role of a vaccine. Its cheap as chips though so there's no money to be made is there? This is the government finding another way to get our tax dollars into overseas accounts. Wankers.

I’ll just leave this here 👇

Here we go again !!

Why would you take this? The illness is irrelevant to ppl in decent health under the age of 65,even 70. Will be similar efficacy to flu vaccine (ie not very), and not really effective at all in the most vulnerable (ppl w/obesity and the elderly).

Hmmn half the population, that sounds like a patience tester

Isn't it just the flu vax 'jazzed' up a bit?

This reeks.

Very Interesting international scheme. Antivaxxers suffering apoplexy as we speak.

So glad the government is wasting money buying MULTIPLE for every single person Won’t catch me at true front of the queue, someone else can have my 3 doses

No thanks ☝️
