This does not make sense.
New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard has said he expects everybody in the state to contract the Omicron variant of COVID-19.
Speaking at a press conference this morning, Mr Hazzard was imploring residents to book in their vaccine booster shot as a defence against the variant of concern.
“Bottom line here is that we would expect that pretty well everybody in New South Wales at some point will get Omicron,” Mr Hazzard said.
So the vaccine isn‘t going to stop you from catching the virus. That means it’s not a vaccine. At best, if you believe Hazzard, it’s like a vitamin you take to boost your immune system in case you catch a cold so your body can weather the storm.
“We’re all going to get Omicron, and if we’re all going to get Omicron, the best way to face it is when we have full vaccination including our booster.
“The challenge for us in the state is to make sure that our health system can cope with that oncoming virus that is so transmissible – it’s extremely transmissible.”
The Minister said international and state evidence showed that Omicron was not as “severe” as earlier variants, with the majority of people in ICU wards being unvaccinated.
“Fully vaccinated” in Australia is defined as follows by ATAGI:
The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) have advised that for the purposes of people returning from overseas travel, those individuals who are considered fully vaccinated against COVID- 19 are those who:
- have received two doses of any Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved or TGA- recognised COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days apart, and
- are at least 7 days post their second dose, with the exception of the Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine, where they are regarded as fully vaccinated 7 days after the single dose
This definition includes homologous (two doses of the same vaccine) and heterologous (two doses of different TGA-approved or recognised vaccines) schedules.
This definition may be updated over time based on emerging evidence.
Damn right this definition may be updated over time. Several countries have already changed the definition of “fully vaccinated” to include “plus booster”.
When the government tells us the majority of people in ICU wards are unvaccinated, that could include people who have had one jab, or who have even had their second jab a few days ago. When questioned on this, the Victorian government has refused to give a breakdown of such figures.
Vox Day has received a message from a healthcare worker providing evidence that they are playing the same word games in other countries:
I’ve just had this news in from a Maidstone hospital consultant surgeon.
There are currently 45 people in Maidstone hospital with COVID. They are listed as half unvaccinated and half vaccinated. A 50/50 split.
But here is the realty of what I’ve been informed.
50% have had two jabs and the booster. The other 50% have had two jabs and no booster but have been marked down as unvaccinated!
Do not believe a word the government and their supporting corporations say. Not one person completely unvaccinated is in Maidstone hospital.
Finally, given Omicron has spread globally via air travel and only people who have had two jabs can hop on an aeroplane, it is very much a pandemic of the vaccinated.
