Australian Vaccine Rollout

[Stan_Darsh72]

There will be a news headline with Craig Kelly MP testing positive for covid
Then Craig Kelly is in Hospital
Then Craig Kelly in on a ventilator
Then Craig Kelly is dead

Unless Caliphate Craig has gotten the vaccine and is lying which is very possible, that fat campaigner knows if he gets it he is cactus

 

[Christopher Buttersnip]

Use of the term "underlying conditions" is a form of blaming people for acquiring the disease and shifting responsibility from those who should know better. In the days of HIV/AIDS, we saw this stigmatisation but called it out for what it was. As it must be again.

 

[HairyO]

They arent very good at maths. 20% have underlying conditions

Smokers and morbidly obese are 2 which are preventable and the fault of the individual. Cancer may be the fault of the individual or unavoidable. So too diabetes.

People who choose to live dangerously take on the risk. The problem is those who through no fault of their own are at risk. The big problem then is those in that group who are unable to vaccinate.

 

[Deliverance]

Essentially, a person who dies from covid because if obesity is in the same boat as an antivaxxer who dies. Poor life choices.

Don't be such a callous twat.

 

[Donakebab]

By most accounts I am considered reasonably fit and healthy, on smoker, not overweight, but I have an underlying medical condition which puts me at greater risk. I've had my first dose of Pfizer and will soon be fully vaccinated, but if I become a breakthrough COVID case from some selfish anti-vax pig, my ghost* will haunt you on the toilet for the rest of your days.




*I don't believe in ghosts, but I will break the laws of nature just for you.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

State favouritism which will allegedly be balanced out later.

Too bad right now, it's a race.

Explainer: Is each state in Australia getting its fair share of Covid vaccine doses?

Labor premiers have condemned the federal government over what they claim is an ‘under the table’ deal that sent extra Pfizer doses to NSW. Is this true?

Tick!

All Pfizer allocations should have been made on a per capita basis, the moment AstraZeneca was made available to 18+. But the temptation of yet another rort was too great for Scumo.

Are you aware front line Covid medical staff will get a booster towards the end of next month, i.e 6 months after receiving Pfizer(2 jabs) earlier this year.

Wanting someone dead because you dont like what he says. Then you call him names. Lovely, so caring.

And how is this relevant to states receiving Pfizer on a per capita basis?

Feds caught red handed siphoning doses from Labor states to NSW, then using the NSW rollout as a political wedge.

States have to wait for Pfizer boost after figures confirm NSW got extra

New figures show NSW got extra Pfizer doses above its share of the population, with the federal government promising to make it up to other states by November.

Emails between Pfizer and Australia released

Newly released emails between Pfizer and the federal government have been made public under freedom of information.

www.news.com.au

The federal health minister’s office did not take a meeting with Pfizer for two months after the pharmaceutical giant first approached the government, emails released under freedom of information show.

The documents, obtained by Labor, show Pfizer first contacted the Department of Health on 30 June 2020, requesting a formal virtual meeting with Health Minister Greg Hunt to discuss the role it could play in vaccinating the country at the “earliest opportunity”.
Instead, the health department’s first assistant secretary took an “introductory” meeting with the company about 10 days later. No one from the health minister’s office met with Pfizer until August.

A deal between Australia and Pfizer –for only 10 million doses – was not signed until November.
Australia’s slow vaccine rollout has been blamed for the current NSW, Victoria and ACT lockdowns, and the country’s lagging vaccination rates, with just over 35 per cent of the eligible population having received both doses.

Now, it can be revealed Pfizer urged the federal government last year to sign a deal as soon as possible, so that “millions of doses” could be supplied in 2020. No Pfizer doses arrived in Australia until February 2021.

The Opposition said it showed a “deliberate wait and see approach” to vaccine deals which meant Australia started its vaccination push a lap behind other OECD countries.

“Australians are paying the price of Scott Morrison’s incompetence; we have more people in lockdown and fewer people vaccinated than any other developed country,” Shadow Health Minister Mark Butler said.

Pfizer Australia first spoke to the Department of Health on June 26. Days later, in an email now publicly available, a company representative told the department that the vaccine landscape was “moving swiftly” and that Pfizer was engaging with other countries.

“I am able to make senior members of Pfizer’s global leadership team available for this discussion, particularly if the Minister and/or Departmental leadership can be involved,” the representative said.

In a letter attached to the email addressed to Mr Hunt dated June 30, a Pfizer representative said the company had “the potential to supply millions vaccine doses by the end of 2020” which would rapidly scale up to “produce hundreds of millions of doses in 2021”.

First Assistant Secretary in the Health Department Lisa Schofield responded to Pfizer’s emails three days later, confirming she – not Minister Hunt as requested – would meet with Pfizer on Friday, July 10.

The next correspondence from Pfizer was the following Monday, when an offer was made for high-ranking members Pfizer to meet virtually with senior government officials to discuss a detailed vaccine rollout plan, if the government signed a confidential disclosure agreement.

If the government was not willing to sign the agreement, Pfizer said they would accept an “exploratory/ introductory meeting” for the time being.

A Pfizer representative followed up with another email to Ms Schofield the following day, urging the First Assistant Secretary to take up a 90-minute meeting with Pfizer to run through a “lengthy and highly detailed slide deck” which went into the scientific development and clinical trial process, as well as information on vaccine technology, manufacturing, supply chain, and procurement processes.
The representative said the slide deck could not be emailed, so required a virtual meeting.

Ms Schofield rejected the offer for a detailed meeting as the confidentiality disclosure agreement was still being finalised, and instead agreed to the introductory/exploratory discussion.

“It is not usual practice for the Commonwealth to sign such documents (as the confidential disclosure agreement) as we are covered by various legislative requirements …,” Ms Schofield said.

During the meeting on July 10, notes reveal Pfizer wanted to have discussions to “move as quickly as possible”, so that their vaccines could be deployed “at unprecedented speed”.

Pfizer also disclosed how many doses they could possibly have by the end of the year, but the figure has been redacted by the government.
The notes say that Pfizer wanted to know a timeline for doses, and what the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation’s (ATAGI) approval process was.

Almost two weeks later, Pfizer Australia followed up with the health department noting the UK and the US had signed deals for vaccine supply.
At this stage, the confidentiality disclosure agreement was still being negotiated to allow for senior members of Pfizer Global to meet with the government.
It wasn’t until August 4, 2020, that anyone from the health minister’s office met with Pfizer.

There were later meetings but those details have been redacted.
Australia signed a deal with Pfizer for just 10 million doses in November 2020.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison did not speak to Pfizer’s global chief until July 2021.
The FOI decision has also revealed the government was “refusing” to release two sets of advice it received in relation to Pfizer’s vaccines in July 2020.
Mr Hunt has been contacted for comment.

News is the best of the lot.

Not much competition mind you, oz, dt, hun, the 2 fails.


Any goodwill morrison may have won with swingers yesterday with the travel ban stuff ( YES, there would've been people who would've hardened their support for him ) just went down the sink.

 

[Gigantic]

Let's get this right...

Pfizer themself was chasing up and requesting meetings with Minister for Health so that Australia could get vaccines and the bloke ignored their emails for 2 months?

We pretty much already knew as much, but seeing the emails is pretty damning.

A cautionary note. Remember that Singapore has fully vaccinated 80% of its 5.7-million population.

Delta variant outbreak threatens Singapore's 'living with Covid' model | CNN

Singapore has warned it may need to reimpose Covid-19 restrictions if a new outbreak of the highly infectious Delta variant is not contained, putting at risk the city's shift towards living with the virus.

Even by skimming the vaccines to NSW it puts the rest of the nations plans to 'open up' on the back burner and hurts everyone overall.


This is the biggest f**ckup at federal level i can think of in the past 50 years.

Hunt, Scomo and all the *-wits will try and pin this on the Deputy Secretary that responded, but I can 100% guarantee you that this decision went to and was made by the Minister.
