Victoria has recorded two deaths and 1069 new coronavirus cases on Sunday as demonstrators prepare to fill Melbourne’s CBD to protest COVID-19 vaccines. rpjward reports.

questions remain over who is profiting from the ongoing protestsMore than 300 people are in hospital suffering from coronavirus, with 74 active cases in intensive care units and 37 people on ventilators.

As Victoria’s daily coronavirus cases again surpassed the 1000 mark on Sunday, health authorities were investigating another seven suspected cases of the Omicron variant - what could be the state’s first cases of community transmission of the Omicron strain.On Saturday, contact tracers were tracking the steps of a person who tested positive for the new strain after being in the community while infectious.

Around 1.75 million more people will be able to access a booster from either Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine shot.Health Minister Greg Hunt said the decision was backed up by research and would help reduce the most serious effects of COVID-19. “Data from Israel shows boosters supporting reductions in the rate of infection in eligible age groups, severe disease in those aged over 40 years and deaths in those over 60 years.”Melbourne’s Austin Health has set up a dedicated low stimulus clinic at its new Flanders Wing Vaccination Clinic which is designed to help people with autism, ADHD and severe anxiety or phobias get vaccinated.

rpjward Ugh. That’s tough Vic

rpjward Basically Dan Andrew's doesn't know what his doing bc his big ears won't listen to anyone!

rpjward How many are actually sick from the vaccination?

rpjward Dan’s ‘triumph’.

rpjward Since day 1 of the Virus......Victoria have been a disaster zone under Chairman Dan.

rpjward They need to go home and get some Christmas cheer

rpjward Why is organising trouble much easier than organising peace😎

rpjward I guess the stupid is just not going to go away quietly.

rpjward How many of Victoria's cases are a result of these protests? Grandaughter's best friend, father an anti-vaxxer, and a protester. Now the whole family has Covid.

rpjward So two elderly people over 80 have died? So a trace of covid in their system not necessarily passing because of covid. Also can we find out how many of the 1069 are vaccinated and how many of the people in hospital are vaccinated and fully vaccinated. Covid in Melbourne Victoria

rpjward Great. I was going to take the kids in to see the Christmas windows, but now we won't. Thanks for killing Christmas protesters.
