'Only hot people get Pfizer': Is COVID vaccine brand tribalism a thing in Australia?

, the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine invokes patriotism as well as warm feelings about its not-for-profit roots, even as some consumers prefer the "fancier" Pfizer vaccine., fraught cold war politics have resurfaced as consumers can be vaccinated with one developed in the East or West.

show younger and ineligible people are still stumping up to try and get vaccinated with whatever vaccine they can get.Having numerous brands of a particular vaccine is not new. Every year,One of us has been interviewing people about influenza vaccination for over five years, and no participant has told her they prefer a specific brand.

No one normally cares what brand of vaccine you get! With the flu vaccination […] people don't start quizzing me on "what brand is this one?"

All the hot people will soon enough be cold and six feet Under going off the stats...in UK alone around 1300 hundred have died and over a million have had adverse side reactions. 🤷☝️

Who wrote this crap? “In Australia, we've seen something different. Since the move away from the AstraZeneca vaccine for people under 50 announced in April, brand preferences became about safety rather than efficacy.” No. It was about safety AND efficacy. A double whammy!! 🙄

Ha! Good to know! I didn't think i was a hottie! THANKS!😅

Purely a sensationalist comment. C’mon ABC News be more like the Beeb!

It dosen't matter which vaccine you have within the guidelines, just get vaccinated to free yourself and the Country. This crap by the ABC does nothing for anyone. But it's expected from the ABC and their Labor Union Masters

I'm hot, I'm having a hot flush right now... 🔥🔥

Time government came clean astra zeneca is available to them for free it's free because the makers know it's not only dangerous but it's also ineffective Morrison government simply too cheap to put our national health first but it's a government destroying Medicare TRUTH

Why not... you are playing geopolitics

Nah, no brand tribalism. Just get people who want Pfizer, Pfizer, and those who are (bizarrely) happy with AZ, AZ. That is all. The end.

Except they are not ‘approved’. They are ‘provisionally approved’ vaccines, which is a notable difference.

Some countries would be grateful for either of these highly effective vaccines. First world problems.

Only *smart* people don’t get any of them

Not even worth the click

Is this Buzzfeed?

It started with our Elitist PM setting the tone and getting Phizer when it was meant to be only for front line workers at that stage. He should have set an example for his constituents and asked for AZ.

As good little children, they will buy what Daddy tells them. Just imagine the out cry if they brought the Sputnik V. And forget about the Chinese made. It's not about the best one. But where it is sold.

The most amazing things about the COVID vaccines were the speed of development and free to the people ? Besides flu vaccines are group specific so why not COVID vaccines ?

Seriously? 🤦‍♂️

It's revealing of what kind of people we've become. Take boomers, the generation that have never been told - NO. They've self inflated their sense of entitlement to such an extent that when they're told they can't have something - all hell breaks loose.

Only people who don’t want clots get Pfizer!

I might expect a title like this from a crappy Murdoch rag, really abc this is disgraceful

Hot as in menopausal hot flushes

It took three people to write this “story”

I can't believe what I'm reading.... Is this from a primary school newsletter?

another hint is biden and scomo they both got pfizer

Ita Buttrose takes over and now ABC online is a glossy trash mag. Almost like it was done by design.

Fabricating the news now. Pathetic

Hot as in sexy or Hot as in body temperature ? As I'm one of either

AZ was talked up as safe, then it caused blood clots. AZ blood clots were really rare, 1 in a million. Then they weren't as rare, 1 in 100,000. Then they weren't rare at all, 1 in 32,258. Over 50 were safe from clotting. Then an over 50 died from clots. Feel like a lab rat yet?

I’m living proof that that theory can be debunked

Click bait.

F'n pffft! F'n Classism!

Not your finest hour headline wise!

I'm hot AF. I'm perimenopausal 😉

Hi is this shit as a result of the gov pulling funding from ABCaustralia, no longer being able to afford real journalists, so you are using teenage Insta hopefulls to report on ‘the news’?

What garbage

I’m going right now to get my second dose. I can assure everyone reading this that I am definitely super hot.

What.the.actual. grow up

Is this news? Can we please focus on actually getting the population vaccinated first?

OpinionnotAnalysis. (And juvenile, petty opinion at that)

What a piffling tabloid headline. Stop embarrassing yourselves with these stupid takes.

Is she from the ethnic Anglo, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, or Scottish community after millions of migrants from the shitholes of Ireland and Britain?

It's winter. The hot people might just be running a temperature. Yikes!

What sort of bullshit clickbait headline is this? Do you think this isn’t a serious issue? Are you now Channel 9? Grow up. Do better.

Stop promoting Pfizer ABC. Wasting cyber space.

Then explain why this guy got Pfizer then

Is ChaserInterns writing the headlines for ABC news?

I always knew I’m hot 😂

WA police 'used COVID check-in data' in criminal investigations: Caleb Bond | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Caleb Bond says Western Australia police have been accessing personal COVID check-in data for use in their criminal investigations despite Premier McGowan telling Western Australians their data was 'safe'.\n\n'WA Police accessed the check-in data of more than 2,400 people,' Mr Bond said.\n\n'In November last year, WA's Labor Premier Mark McGowan said this data would be used only for contact tracing,' Mr Bond said.\n\nIn a Facebook post Premier McGowan said the data would be 'stored securely' and be only accessible to 'authorised Department of Health contact tracing personnel'.\n\n'A month later, the police made their first request for check in data. And it was handed over, because McGowan's dopey government wrote the legislation, and the terms and conditions of the app, so that it was legal.\n\n'When McGowan told West Australians that their data was safe, he was either lying, or he didn't know what he had actually implemented. Take your pick.'\n I would be safer from these moronic criminals tan concern myself about Police using any data necessary to do their job. If you toe the line you have no need for concern.. And just like that….people won’t use the app. I don't understand why people still believe any Govt or Police when they say that. We lost privacy years ago.

Kerry Chant calls for increased COVID testing numbers | Sky News AustraliaNSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant says she wants to see the state’s daily COVID-19 tests exceed 30,000 after an indoor mask mandate was imposed on seven local government areas in Sydney. \n\nThere were two locally acquired cases recorded to 8pm on Saturday night but Dr Chant said there were an additional two cases which will be included in Monday’s numbers. \n\n“We want to see those testing numbers much higher than they currently are,” Dr Chant said.\n\n“We want you to be stressing our labs to the ultimate end of their testing capacity. \n\n“I would really like to see those numbers today exceed 30,000 to 40,000 tests. \n\n“The quicker we can diagnose cases, the quicker we can get ahead of the transmission of this virus.”\n\nThe indoor mask mandate has been imposed on the Randwick, Bayside, Botany Bay, Inner West, City of Sydney, Waverley and Woollahra local government areas.\n Anyone at Sky asked Gladys to step aside yet? No one going to complain about an 'unelected official' running the state? Kenny... Credlin... bolt? Funny how differently Sky treats a Liberal government. Correction: 8 million a day, for 365 days. No need for masks, the testing,contact tracing, lockdowns, border closures, resultant economic impacts in billions to trillions, social/health impacts, if govts stopped allowing virus into our densely populated cities in our island nation.Remote quarantine or get vacs rolled out!
