All the people shouting ‘discrimination’ might like to have a little think about what it means for disabled and clinically vulnerable people if they can never. go. anywhere. safe. ever. again.

Including work, hospital, the shops, your mum’s nursing home or jail.

[Prof Gemma Carey, PhD MMedSci @gemcarey]

When modelling says X number of people will die, who do you think those people are?

They're people who have had organ transplants, they're people with cystic fibrosis, people with disability that makes them more likely to die or unable to be vaccinated.

Who wants facts about COVID-19 and children?

Almost all children will eventually be infected if they aren’t offered vaccination.

Of those children who test positive:
🤒 1 in 14 will get long COVID
🏥 1 in 100 will be hospitalised
⚰️ 1 in 20,000 will die

Why are these findings different to the recent Doherty Institute modelling?

The Doherty Institute made some unrealistic assumptions. They assumed a low proportion of young people are symptomatic, and that children don’t transmit much, which is wrong.

At what level of vaccination can Australia safely reopen?

With 70% of adults vaccinated, expect:
📈 6.9 million cases
🏥 154,000 hospitalisations
☠️ 29,000 deaths

At 80%:
☠️ 25,000 deaths
🤒 270,000 people with long COVID

We need >90%, including children, to be safe.

It looks like people need to see these statistics again.

The fact that some COVID-19 patients have pre-existing medical conditions is irrelevant.

COVID-19 ends people's lives prematurely.

In Australia, over a decade is lost on average.

[Dr Greg Kelly @drgregkelly]

5 million people and just 7 deaths from #COVID19

Substantially fewer days in lockdown than Vic, NSW or almost anywhere else in the world

Objectively one of the most effective managers of this pandemic IN THE WORLD - congrats to the people of Queensland and Dr Young

Humanity is full of underlying conditions.

We have chronic illnesses and prior conditions.

There are MORE people with chronic illnesses than those with perfect health.

67% of Australians are overweight or obese.

DO NOT ATTRIBUTE COVID DEATHS TO UNDERLYING CONDITIONS.

[Dr Andrew Miller - bring back disease prevention @drajm]

‘The child who died of covid had underlying health conditions’ is a dark phrase meant to convey

1. this avoidable death wasn’t our fault even tho we started this outbreak thru carelessness then failed to control it then gave up & pretended this was not only our PLAN but /2
