Experts have cast doubt on the feasibility of a COVID-19 vaccine being rolled out to the entire Australian population by late next year, as the Morrison government's budget assumes, but Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says there is a chance it could come even earlier.
"That is what's ahead of us, because there is a great deal of uncertainty in this pandemic," he told the National Press Club in Canberra."We know that the road out of this crisis will be unpredictable ... We are taking nothing for granted.
, but RMIT Professor of Immunology Magdalena Plebanski said this would only be one step towards population-wide protection. "If that happens in December, in terms of production and distribution, it should be feasible to get the vaccine in 2021," she said. Melbourne University Professor of Epidemiology Tony Blakely said the budget's assumptions were plausible, but that an effective and safe vaccine is not guaranteed to arrive in 2021. He said it was unclear where Australia sat in the global queue to receive the vaccine.
Henry Cutler, director of Macquarie University's Centre for Health Economy, said even a partially effective vaccine might reduce the severity of illness for those who contracted COVID-19, meaning fewer hospitalisations and deaths.

Delete that assumption from the budget. This panpanic is a population growth killing Godsend manna from heaven. Maybe we'll learn to live without the ponzi scheme!
I’ve never had a flu shot in my life and I won’t be starting now. You can shove your vaccine. And no, I am not anti vax.
History has shown us that an effective vaccine takes many years to develop. That's is a fact, just ask any scientist. Any 'vaccine' rolled out within a year will just be making us all guinea pigs to pharmaceutical companies wanting to make money. It's all BS from this Government
Don't need it.
We don’t need a vaccine for something that has a 99% survival rate. The flu vaccine has not got rid of the flu...

Experts say vaccine still 'unlikely' by mid-next year as COVID-19 timetable exposed in BudgetThe Federal Budget papers have hosed down initial hopes of a COVID-19 vaccine by early next year, with some health experts believing it is still 'very unlikely' Australia will have a jab available by the middle of 2021. The coronavirus is Mongolian biological weapon! If don't believe it, they may slowly end killing humanity! Then EricTopol says as long as FDA holds out long enough to make sure Phase 3 are completed properly (maybe January), the vaccine capacity of the USA will expand very very quickly They’ve never found a vaccine for a coronavirus. It will never be found in our lifetime. I’ll be glad to be proven wrong

If Australia gets a COVID vaccine ‘it won’t stop the need for restrictions’ | Sky News AustraliaAustralian National University’s Professor Peter Collignon says even if the federal government’s assumption of a COVID-19 vaccine in 2021 happens, it will not mean life goes back to normal.\n\n“Realistically, even if everything goes according to plan and we get something that’s really effective, it won’t be towards the second half of next year at the earliest that we’ll have a large proportion of the nation vaccinated,” Professor Collignon told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n“To really work at stopping restrictions it’s got to be ninety per cent effective because if you look at the only two respiratory viruses that we’ve stopped spread and eliminated … that didn’t happen until we had basically a vaccine that was ninety per cent effective or more.” \n\n“I think we will get a vaccine that will save lives, but it won’t stop the need for some restriction of our movement and crowding, and some interference with our lives,” he said.\n The BS, propaganda, fear peddling goes on 24/7 either by MSM, pollies, those pushing vaccines.. Things will go back to normal because the public will wake-up sooner or later.
