The projections were modelled on a vaccine that had roughly 50 per cent efficacy in preventing infection and 93 per cent efficacy in preventing death, with face masks not mandated and no major public health response, such as lockdowns or increased testing and quarantine, in place to control an outbreak.
Without herd immunity, if we ... allowed the virus to spread, it is still likely to infect a large proportion of the community.“What it really shows is without herd immunity, if we stopped taking a public health approach and allowed the virus to spread, it is still likely to infect a large proportion of the community,” Dr Scott said.
Dr Scott said even if Australia reached more than 80 per cent coverage, there would be millions of Australians unvaccinated, and others who were vaccinated but could still transmit the virus, but not fall seriously ill. Professor Duckett said as vaccine uptake increased in Victoria lockdowns would probably become increasingly unnecessary and less intrusive interventions like wearing face masks would become the new norm.
MeljCunningham Are you guys on crack tonight? I’m no anti vaxer but the facts are the facts - there have been more deaths from Astra Zeneca than Covid - stop trying to feed panic to people who can’t see through your bullshit
MeljCunningham Keep safe and follow the rules .
MeljCunningham Bull shit
MeljCunningham Thousands of people could die, tens of thousands will be saved by the vaccine and millions will live on. But who wants to be one of the thousands or for their friends/family to be in that group
MeljCunningham Even if you are vaccinated, you can still attract the so called virus!
MeljCunningham It's a new world, sadly not a better one. Just forget getting back to what it was, it's gone, accept it.
MeljCunningham Yes, it’s unfortunate, but this is life. Some people die from viruses and diseases and we can’t lock ourselves away forever.
MeljCunningham It is so sad when fear is used as a tactic by the government. Rather than education based on facts the government has continually relied on fear based on false allegations. Maybe they fear the facts don’t support their contentions!
MeljCunningham What is this absolute trash!
MeljCunningham Surely everyone should have access to the vaccine with the highest efficacy to mitigate against outbreaks and minimise deaths? Why give older more vulnerable people a vaccine with 60 per cent efficacy when there is one available giving 90 per cent protection GregHuntMP ?
MeljCunningham The corrupt lying media is the virus
MeljCunningham 1984
MeljCunningham Fucking Bullshit!
MeljCunningham This makes me so angry...look at the data in US, Israel and UK that have used similar vaccines as Australia...VACCINES PROTECT AGAINST ILLNESS..STOP spreading fear to get attention and fame and keep international borders shut...STOP
MeljCunningham What utter BS !!! Don’t these completely arrogant people see what is happening in the US and the Uk . The only people ending up in hospital have been unvaccinated people . These vaccines are amazingly effective . Their models have been completely wrong . Stop their funding ! !
MeljCunningham Fuck off with your fear porn click bait bullshit headlines .... MSM struggling for relevance
MeljCunningham Yep! Way too many selfish arrogant and ignorant people in Victoria.
MeljCunningham The modelling based on a vaccine with 50% efficacy - none of our vaccines have such low efficacy - what a pointless article
MeljCunningham I’m confused. I kept hearing on abcmelbourne that vaccination is our way out of this? The only way out is to keep it out.
MeljCunningham Anyone remember when Donald Trump got covid and the media laughed and laughed at him then he beat it in like 3 days with a few pills and got on with the show? Yeah me too.
MeljCunningham
MeljCunningham UK are reporting 240% infection increase in one week due to Indian variant, Chile who has 60% of population vaccated is now in total lockdown as people are reinfecting, USA reporting 2 new COVID cases on a cruise ship of all vaccinated passengers. 451 dead in USA yesterday.
MeljCunningham And yet that “beast of a variant” has killed no one.. not even the aged care residents. I think I’ll take the risk and resume going about my business!
MeljCunningham Hahahhhahhhahhah us science studiers were here the whole time telling you the experimental V would make no difference! Any pro-vaxers feel regretful now?
MeljCunningham
MeljCunningham 😂😂😂 nobody believes it anymore
MeljCunningham Is this a) a news headline or b) weak government psyops?
MeljCunningham Just wondering if you have been paid to scare people around with this silly article?
MeljCunningham Fear fear fear. Cut the crap💩💩💩💩
MeljCunningham MeljCunningham learntocode
MeljCunningham This is agitprop
MeljCunningham What a load of malarkey! How can you even write such tripe!
MeljCunningham Rubbish only if the gold standard virus was released
MeljCunningham Crap article by one of Comrade Dans mates. Garbage. How do these pricks continue to get paid.
MeljCunningham
MeljCunningham Absolute fear mongering crap
MeljCunningham
MeljCunningham Who is the killjoy writing this motivating piece of literature?
MeljCunningham These are findings of The Burnet Institute... who are happened to be funded by Bill Gates. Mr Sutton also plays a role there.... that should give you an indication of how accurate this article is......
Oh well, call it gene pool cleansing. The race will be stronger. I can live with that.
MeljCunningham Yeah and IF my Aunty had a cock she’d be more Uncle… although that would probably pass for normal these days 🤔
MeljCunningham The contradictions, coupled to use of wrong equipment for covid tests, that its inventor advised using the PCR test for a virus will result in many false positives... Kary Mullis was silenced/killed.... Now news out of the US, hydroxychloroquine, is a valid anti covid solution...
MeljCunningham And if we all stood on the road we could als be in trouble!!!! How about giving perspective please!!! All this doomsday sh1t spewed out from jessups media factory, to improve his narrative Its appalling
MeljCunningham Thousands of people couldndie of ebola in the event ofa highly infectious outbreak if there were no restrictions on mivement and gatherings even if 70% were vaccinated
MeljCunningham Sounds similar to the ‘Melbourne house prices falling 40%’ that did the rounds a few years back
MeljCunningham Seriously what garbage. It’s not even a genuine media outlet anymore. Just a govt outlet.
MeljCunningham This is why people don’t trust the media
MeljCunningham This is full of crap🤬
MeljCunningham Bravo, timely article just when things are opening up and there are limited restrictions. Fucking clickbait media
MeljCunningham BULLSHIT - This is a ridiculous premise
MeljCunningham Instant Lockdowns a norm until we get the quarantine right. Vaccines only effective on what variants they are designed for. When the virus evolved you'll need a new vaccine. This is the reason why you have to have your flu shots every year.
MeljCunningham Probably thats when covididiots will realise that this is a real disease and follow basic common sense
MeljCunningham Sure
MeljCunningham It highlights the incompetence of the Federal government
MeljCunningham Mathematical Modeling in 1990 said there would be no snow in Australia by 2010
MeljCunningham Yawn
MeljCunningham 272 people have died from the vaccines! Why aren't you reporting this?.
MeljCunningham One would presume that only those in the 30% would die?
MeljCunningham
MeljCunningham Yes thousands indeed. Just like the flu does with the elderly and the very ill every year.
MeljCunningham
MeljCunningham Brilliant, scare everyone and keep then in lockdown to eternity!! So what is new? that risk that been the case since the Spanish Flu. By locking down they will die of some other diseases many around with an abundance of mental heath issues.
MeljCunningham Indeed true. Better to close borders with India and other high risk countries. Never trust their systems.
MeljCunningham We just need to flatten the curve We just need to get vaccinated
MeljCunningham thanks for the great news 😒
MeljCunningham No-one objects to strict restrictions short of a lockdown. What's your point?
MeljCunningham Seems this article is littered with a lot of ifs, coulds and mights. Borders on irresponsible journalism with the current economic climate, but whatever baits the clicks I suppose.
MeljCunningham Lock downs forever is their game. Time to play a new game Bitcoin
MeljCunningham Just like we were told that between 10,000 and 50,000 Victorian will DIE last year .. do these pricks realise it’s really wearing thin now . Enough fear mongering ffs .
MeljCunningham You do realize 1person dies every 3 minutes in Australia generally. Do the math over 24 hours
MeljCunningham But gyms
MeljCunningham Keep in mind the report clearly says it is a worst / near-worst case scenario And It appears to anticipate a materially lower vaccination rate than we are currently achieving.
MeljCunningham What say you michaelobrienmp? TimSmithMP?

Victoria records four new local COVID-19 casesThe new locally acquired cases are from the same household and investigations into the source of the infections are underway. Lifting lockdown too soon will have dire consequences Yeh victorians, dont worry they are linked to last year 2020 cases, aoon it will 0😂😂😂😂😂 Interesting fact - Spring Street to Dan’s electoral office is 25km. Is this coincidence or medical evidence? is this how they came up with 25km last time as safe viral load distance for every Victorian lockdown
