Vaccination experts say they fear the reputation of the AstraZeneca vaccine could have been tarnished beyond repair in Australia, leaving the population dangerously exposed to coronavirus outbreaks in the months to come.
“But there’s no doubt its reputation is tarnished, perhaps even to the point of no return in Australia. I certainly hope that’s not the case because there’s a lot at stake here.”released by the federal government to help the public weigh up their personal risks estimates that in an outbreak similar to Victoria’s second wave, that 100,000 doses of the vaccine would prevent 21 deaths among those aged in their 70s, for fewer than two cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia.
Dr Munoz, who works at a GP clinic in Melbourne’s CBD, anticipated doctors would face an uphill battle to convince patients over 60, who were still eligible for AstraZeneca, to get vaccinated or have their second shot. Infectious diseases specialist with the Australian National University, Sanjaya Senanayake, said while he wished older Australians would take up the “very good” AstraZeneca vaccine “the reality is that we may not win this public relations campaign”.
Victoria recorded one locally-acquired case of coronavirus on Saturday, a person who had been in isolation while infectious, while the state’s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton warned the virus was “Mr Hunt has said supplies of the Pfizer vaccine are due to double next month, when weekly deliveries increase from an average of 300,000 a week to 600,000.
Australia has already ordered 15 million doses of Moderna’s variant booster vaccine. Like the Pfizer vaccine, the Moderna jab uses mRNA technology.
And who is to blame for this. The media. As an RN vaccinator who has had AZ it is inexcusable how the media has put people at risk as many now do not want to be vaccinated. We do not have an option for Phizer in rural areas. Shame on you.
Pay walls on health reports? Or is this just another ‘scoop’ from Scoopy do?

Sorry it’s probably already too late for a lot of you, but if you are one of the sensible ones that have held off, you need to realise that I this is the largest human experiment in our history. Please for you and your family’s sake don’t do it 🙏
Seriously people, STOP and listen to yourselves. These are not vaccines they are experimental synthetic drugs, none of them are safe. Wake up and realise that this is the biggest human experiment in our history. It will change your DNA and your family’s for ever. Don’t do it 🙏
More shit has been talked in the past 18 months than in the whole time since Federation.

Lesson 1. Be on top of issues to ensure drug suitability Lesson 2. Transparency with consumers Lesson 3. Don’t hand over your brand to a bunch of idiots in the LNP
Like most in UK, Fully vaxxed with AZ & feeling Great. What a relief! TimeToTravel sundayvibes
Business is war. Even more if dealing with toxic EU & UnitedStates on vaccines AstraZeneca. It's only a mistake to lose. Covid_19 vaccines billionaire profiteers of failed startups BioNTech_Group & moderna_tx: Evil UnitedStates behind entities: Pfizer & NIH will lose.
And I wonder which outlets may be responsible for that ? 🤔
AZ not even FDA approved in USA
Putting things into perspective around 16,000 people die every year in the US alone of NSAD’s such as Ibuprofen, as most things in life it’s a cost benefit analysis exercise
And so where does that leave the over 60’s. At the very least all over60’s who have not had their first jab should now be given the option of having the Pfizer vaccine. To not do so would be not only irresponsible but potentially dangerous.
In the latest news today another blood clotting disorder that is said to affect 1 in 2000 people has been identified as one of the 2 conditions that are a risk for the AstraZeneca vaccine. This is a new development that is leading to specialists advising to caution re the AZ jab.
Taipan57602002 the shareholders of the company are unhappy.
The talcum powder cancer scandal never hurt J&J.
Fear big pharma profits will take a hit
Taiwan has 12 elderly (between 59-97 years old) who died after getting AstraZeneca vaccines. You can use your common sense if you decide to take AZ.
Pfizer isn't magic, don't believe the hype. It's been causing myocarditis in some young men and it caused tinnitus for someone I know (and health Canada has had other reports of it causing tinnitus).
Australian media has turned into a pack of whinny crybabies..take whatever is offered …I bet most would not know what they put into their bodies every single day . Just stop talking about it and get on with the job. I know plenty of people who have had AZ & they’d do it again
Data seems to be showing that 1st dose AZ and 2nd dose mRNA offer the most robust protection. It's what many of us in Canada are doing for that reason.
This is what the leftgreen media has been aiming for all along too promote their view of who should be running the country what a disgrace promote unity not division
When it’s sub standard then it deserves the treatment
Spot on. A huge organisation which has delivered significant benefits over decades. Of course, releasing to market a competitively inferior product was never a great idea. But in the hands of Morrison, they went from underperformer to pariah. He truly is our Trump. auspol
Shit - hope lucky Dave Sharma was able to off load all those insider traded shares.
Canada trialling successfully COVID vaccination (2'types) jab mix ?
Golly I wonder why.
There was a stoush between EU and AZ earlier in the year over prioritising supplies to the UK. Once alts were available, EU began a vocal anti-AZ campaign. Both AZ / PZ have significant side effects and comparable immune responses but could the EU hold a grudge? Never!
bencubby Overheard approaching Sydney Olympic Park Vaccination Centre: “is that the clot one, or the other one?” …
Well more people have died from AZ vaccine than covid and despite being vaccinated with it we still get it, we just might not die from it and now hearing blood clots are at 1 in 35000 rather than 250k.
I'm more concerned about Pfizer. That one has some serious adverse reactions.
reality …… they did a deal with the devil sQomo
We don’t want it!
Morrison still needs to shift his dodgy vaccine. He can’t give enough away to the third world so the over 60’s need to pick up the slack.
It’s the only vaccine available.
nevermind the people who died due to the experimental drugs and who now have life long injury without compensation. ...I bet SCOMO's super fund has lots of big pharma shares in it with profits in the billions this year so he probably isn't worried about it...
If only Smirko’s purchasing dept had as many resources as marketing
So those who chose not to have a CoVID vac should not be covered by health insurance or life insurance should they contract the virus. Their decision and actions could be classed as reckless disregard for their own safety and health. Much the same as drunk or drug driving.

Shame Hunt declined the 40m pfizer doses last year. The MorrisonGovernment reputation should also be tarnished beyond repair.
Hmm only just AZ?
Still, no one has answered the question. Why can't people over 60 get Pfizer. Is it that older people are disposable.
1) we have the most corrupt govt in Australian history with a penchant for telling lies and bullshit on a daily basis. 2) We have RW media running protection for said govt 3) more and more people are learning to trust neither 1 & 2 See the problem yet?
Seriously? The guy is a vet and malaria researcher, he has no expertise in population vaccination. How do you want readers to trust what is the media? The AZ vaccine is primarily discredited because it is promoted by non-expert whose sole ambition is personal publicity.
Just stop the negative reporting
Soo...
Why is the Government continually moving the age goal post? First unsafe for older people, then ok for under 50 then unsafe under 50 now unsafe for under 60 We should have gone with Pfizer for everyone.
It's tarnished because it is unsafe. More people have been killed & injured globally from the AZ vaccine then from takata airbags. The airbags were recalled.
It’s not being widely used in a great deal of countries for the same reason.
If they banned Penicillin when my father had an early life threatening allergic reaction then there would be millions of people dead for not having had access to a life saving antibiotic. Get vaccinated as soon as you can. My second AZ is due in a week and that makes me a winner.
For heaven's sake they are experimental gene therapies that no one needs, what is wrong with you ridiculous media people
I want the vaccine Morrison received
NO. People have the right to choose. Make it 62yrs so I can have Pfizer. TY. Enough of this bullish! Govt tried to take the easy way out, ie. No FREEZING! and they are to blame for lack of vaccinations.
You think? 🤔

Second AstraZeneca dose 'absolutely critical' despite minimum recommended age being raised to 60'It's exactly what I did.' Health Minister Greg Hunt is urging Aussies who have had their first dose of AstraZeneca to still proceed with their second, saying it 'will help protect you and it will help protect everybody else'. AusPol 9News I wonder if he is happy to be sued for false information and reparations for deaths and injuries from the vax. Just like Fauci, he will be taken down too.
