Probably the first time she's done it and she just happened to get caught out [emoji848]

What is unbelievable is that she did it in front of the supervising doctor. Those of us who have had the jabs at a GP clinic will know there are two health professionals present. The nurse administers the jab while the supervising doctor records the jab. In this case the doctor reported her, how did she expect to get away with it?
 
So another quick travel update.
Egypt was an eye opener, masks are supposedly compulsory but not enforced at all.
Guys I was working with are all vaccinated (military contractors) but they were saying most are not, the case numbers are supposedly extremely high but not reported in the govt run media.
Had to get a test to be allowed back in Dubai, before going to one of the approved labs I was asked if I wanted a Covid test or just needed a Negative Covid test certificate…..
Flights were good, travelling in a barely half full A380 is pretty comfortable.
Arrived in Dubai and was tested again on arrival. Extremely efficient process, was tested and at the carousel before bags arrived.
As per Dubai rules you are supposed to isolate until you receive your result. My company put me in a hotel overnight and actually got my results within a few hours anyway.

All in all travelling was ok but for a holiday the testing costs etc for the family would add up quickly. Also both Dubai and Cairo airports were crazy busy.
Coming from Dubai it was a bit confronting as everything is so controlled.

No one supervising when I had my jabs at Wayville
 
This is news to me

Wait, you deflecting to NSW outta nowhere?

Nope, not news on second thoughts.


I'm not deflecting it's a reality. Covid is a bigger deal in regional centres in NSW than it is here. With a smaller landmass here we are able to transport most cases to metropolitan hospitals , the vaccination rates are much lower in NSW regional areas than Victoria as well.

So was she doing this to people who didn't want the jab? Or to people who thought they were getting it but didn't end up with it?
Well she was approved by her workplace to administer the vaccine to people she knows and she put another RNs or Drs name on the vaccine certificate.
She was sought out by antivaxers according to the SMH and 25 patients sought her out that weekend.

Good news on anti-viral treatments for covid.

‘Nail in the coffin’ for COVID: New drugs promise to change way we live with virus


New antiviral pills for COVID-19 that take the fight directly to the virus could change the way the world lives with the pandemic – so long as they are proven to be as good as their manufacturers claim.

On Friday, Pfizer issued a press release claiming its antiviral reduced the risk of hospitalisation or death by 89 per cent for people at high risk from COVID-19. In October, Merck claimed its antiviral cut hospitalisations and deaths by half; the drug has just been approved for use in Britain.

The drugs mark a step-change in the way we respond to the pandemic, scientists say. If they are approved, patients could be given a pill as soon as they test positive – or even earlier as a preventative.

“Vaccination will always be our first line of defence. But we’re never going to get rid of COVID,” said Associate Professor Nial Wheate, an expert in pharmaceutical science at the University of Sydney. “We want to turn it into an endemic, rather than pandemic problem, something we live with. And these drugs will hopefully let us get to that point.”

Professor David Komander, who leads a lab studying COVID-19 antivirals at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, called them the “nail in the coffin for COVID-19”. “If I get COVID despite being fully vaccinated … I know I have another wonderful option to effectively not die from it.”

Both drugs were so successful in phase 3 trials, independent monitoring boards stopped the trials early, the companies claimed. However, neither company has yet published their results in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. “We can’t put any value in press-release data,” said Professor Wheate. He was “excited, but cautious”.

Good news for most of us but surely antivaxers will refuse the experimental drug ?
 
Same but I was going to say Playford...


Is the implication they were doing it to someone that was actually expecting to get the vaccine? Or were they just doing what the patient wanted?
She was serving the antivaxers

We've seen anti-vaxxers change their minds about vaccines while spending their last days in an ICU as a covid patient. People can do about-faces when facing their own mortality. I reckon there'll be takers for covid anti-virals but it won't be all the anti-vaxxers
