The new variants are evading immunity granted from both prior infection, and the 'very little, if any' from the previous three jabs. So we need everyone to get a fourth jab, because it will definitely work this time.

No they aren't. We know effectiveness fades in mere weeks, this is mainstream knowledge now. We should be focusing on treatment...

Health First and Staying Safe. It is really happening, Reg.

Remember before the rushed jabs and there was already a 99.4% survival rate? Not including Aged Care which was a complete stuff up.

Masks

Lol

BMJ investigative report shows 96% of TGA funding comes from pharma companies.

FINALLY!!! It took a change of government

Aussie prime minister is coocoo

More chance of me winning both Euromillions on Friday and following it up with a lotto win on Saturday than being injected with any more of that muck.

The left will never let COVID go..ever

Someone can have mine.

I just hope nobody is listening to this shit and the media find something else to carry on about it more stressful wondering if our freedoms are gunna start getting restricted again 🤦‍♂️

Ok Ukraine guy

Really? Where's the logic? Where's the science? The chance of dying of the Chinese bioweapon, if you catch it, is 0.12%. This is lower than the death rates from a normal flu season. The far left ABC thought bubble needs it get it's facts straight.

First 3 aren’t working 🤔

It's 'a matter of urgency' that you take more of the pharmaceutical products that didn't work the first three times!

Isn't it the exact same formula as the other doses? You know the same doses that you guys reported a few days back that the BA4 and BA5 variants have been evading? Why would injecting the same stuff be any diff?

Weird timing for the government to open the borders to unvaccinated.

Still pushing this garbage. Even the triple jabbers have worked it out now.

🤡🤡why is it a matter of urgency if the survival rate is so high

Fourth COVID-19 jab likely as borders re-open to unvaccinatedAustralia's borders have finally fully re-opened more than two years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, even as calls grow for a fourth booster shot to be made widely available. 9News That’s awesome yet I still can’t get an appointment with a plastic surgeon to get a cancer from my ear cut off. Why? Because I’m not vaccinated apparently. That’s great news as the virus continues to ravage the international community. Let’s not make any sensible decisions. But certainly not wear any masks locally even as the hospitals begin to go to breaking point and the death rate continues to increase. Celebrations all around No way
