AND Gladys wants to keep bringing repats in from India...
Whilst the National Cabinet proves her prove by reducing the number of repats from India by 30%...
This suggests that Gladys is losing the plot....
Other Premiers also disagreed with Gladys....

A medically based statement .........

......... Analysis of reports received to 25 April 2021 shows the overall number of reports received for COVID-19 vaccines is no higher than the expected background rate for the more common type of blood clots in Australia.
The TGA is continuing to calculate observed reporting rates of thrombosis following vaccination on a regular basis and compare these to the expected background rates.
These reports for the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine are not related to the very rare clotting disorder associated with very low platelets (thrombocytopenia) being investigated in relation to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. ...........

good medical information

The medical field are divided on the matter, Sprint. So the word 'medical' doesn't necessarily make their opinion anymore relevant than those in the same field who are at odds with it.

Six people who tested positive for COVID-19 in hotel quarantine in the past three weeks had already been fully vaccinated overseas, revealing the difficulties with implementing a vaccine passport system.

According to data from NSW Health’s weekly COVID-19 surveillance report, between April 10 and May 1, six people in quarantine who reported being fully vaccinated were among the 150 overseas cases recorded.

One had received a one-shot vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson, and the remaining cases had received both doses of a two-shot vaccine, such as Pfizer, AstraZeneca or Moderna.

It's no magic fix and is a personal choice. Read the pros and the cons and decide for yourself. I doubt we'll be travelling overseas anytime soon either.

Hi,
It is no magic cure. It is optional.
We will not be travelling internationally as we did for some time. I would think a few years.

Amazing isn't it.
How the world has changed because of a version of the cold.

I read somewhere that they reckon 2023 for overseas travel. Not that I plan going far.

I'm really itching to go overseas.
But, if I can't, then I accept that.

This is good news. A bit wordy but stick with it.

London: Fully vaccinated people make up a tiny fraction of those being hospitalised with the new Delta variant of coronavirus, new figures show, giving officials more confidence in the success of Britain’s world-leading rollout.

Of 12,383 people infected with the variant, which was first detected in India and has also been identified during the most recent outbreak in Australia, 464 sought hospital care and 126 were admitted.
Of those 126, some 83 had not been vaccinated at all, 28 had received only one shot and just three had been fully vaccinated with two doses.
“The jabs are working,” Health Secretary Matt Hancock told MPs at Westminster.
Hancock made the announcement as scientists work to calculate how much more transmissible the variant is, whether it causes more serious disease, and whether it has a better chance of evading vaccines.

British scientists believe the Delta mutation could be 40 per cent more contagious than the previously dominant UK variant, which also had a higher level of transmissibility than the original virus which caused tens of thousands of deaths in the UK last year.

Australia can still get everyone vaccinated by Christmas, according to a former health department secretary.
The new variant makes up the vast majority of new infections in Britain.

Confirmed daily cases fell from a high of nearly 60,000 in January to low of just over 2000 last month, but have crept back up to about 5000 as the toughest elements of a national lockdown are swept away.

Nearly 76 per cent of adults in the UK have had at least one shot of vaccines by AstraZeneca, Pfizer or Moderna, and 52 per cent two doses.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Monday pointed to Britain’s rising cases to argue mass vaccination will not automatically end the crisis.
“Every day in the UK at the moment, there are 4393 cases,” he told reporters. “That is in a country that has a 75.8 per cent vaccination on first dose.”

However, the data released by Hancock shows the vast majority of new cases do not require hospitalisation and those who are in hosptial may have avoided admission had they been double-vaccinated sooner.
The three fully vaccinated people hospitalised with the Delta variant represent 0.02 per cent of cases, and 2.38 per cent of those admitted for treatment.
“Despite the rise in cases, hospitalisations have been broadly flat,” Hancock said. “The majority of people in hospital with COVID appear to be those who haven’t had the vaccine at all.
“We should all be reassured by this because it shows those vaccinated groups who previously made up the vast majority of hospitalisations are now in the minority.
“We have to keep people coming forward to get them and that includes, vitally, that second jab which we know gives better protection against the Delta variant.”

Preliminary analysis by Public Health England recently suggested there might be a 17 per cent reduction in the effectiveness of AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccine against symptomatic disease caused by the Delta variant compared to the British (variant known as Alpha), but only a modest reduction in effectiveness after two doses.

The UK will announce next week whether the final stage of unlocking can go ahead later this month as planned.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make vaccinations a key topic at this week’s G7 summit in Cornwall by asking world leaders to sign up to a pledge to vaccinate every person in the world by the end of next year.
