Any gov that goes against health advice of the TGA and most other countries health experts is criminal and completly out of step with their duty of care fucken disgraceful and the real agenda is we have nothing else.

He's actually suggested they weighed up the risk of a clot with the risk of a pandemic...?! 'A Pandemic' does not equate with 'A Clot'; the risk of the clot equates with the risk of getting covid. The flip-flopping alone is bad but the lack of forthought about this is palpable...

girl_lockdown Hey MartinFoleyMP what vaccine did you have ?

girl_lockdown What’s the bet this A$$hat had a Pfizer vaccine.

Hell yea. Open them up to the Under 50s who aren't whiny pussies.

Great news ,I look forward to getting the vaccine when it's my turn .

About time they got on with it, sick of them complaining

So you might die of Covid or a blood clot in the brain. You just can't be sure of anything these days...

...😳..so the 🇦🇺Federal Government’s recommendations of no AZ for under 50 is no longer applicable?🤔...what about the medical recommendations?

Martin Foley is a fool...’need to rebuild confidence in the vaccination rollout’... Can’t rebuild confidence in something when there was none in it to begin with...

Under 50s ?

They sure it’s okay this time? NO IDEA what they’re doing!
