Coronavirus (Covid19)

Sitting in the waiting room at Wayville as I type, having just escorted on of the junior members of the household for a shot. The process is more automated since was last here - and the age of the crowd is easily several decades younger.

Just took my 15yo daughter to get her second dose over on Belair Road and yes, heaps of youngsters there as well.

NSW yesterday 11 October 2021 Freedom Day ! Whoa yeah right

So much for freedom.

NSW still/now has

Vaccine Passports.

Still Wearing Masks.

Still many many restrictions.

You gotta laugh

First the rhetoric was we must flatten the curve before we open up you all remember that.

Then we have to vaccinate the citizens.

Started with a target of 60% vaccinated then 70% then 80% then 90%.

They just make up the rules as when and how they like as been stated many times.

[Dutchy]

Smokers have restrictions also, pretty similar isn't it?

[Booney]

No shirt. No shoes. No service.

Been like that for a long time.

Vaccine Passports.

Another way of looking at this would be that masks and vaccine passports - arguably nothing more than a minor inconvenience - are now allowing the people of NSW to enjoy, safely, a lot of freedom they wouldn't have had otherwise.

We won’t get any concrete answers on our progress moving forward for at least another 4-6 weeks IMO. NSW are a test dummy for the rest of the country and SA are sitting back and waiting to see the response and then model a scenario around our States demographics.

The feds are opening up international travel to ease the pressure on the building shipping crisis. The more flights in and out of the country the more freight pressures ease off shipping containers which are increasing in price dramatically by the day and this is about to hit the retail sector hard. With increased demand peaking over the next 3 months this spells disaster for the national economy for Xmas and the building sector - If both are effected then inflation figures will be rooted.

The experiments are progressing well

Pregnant Women
In February 2021, Pfizer and BioNTech dosed the first participant in a global Phase 2/3 study to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in preventing COVID-19 in healthy pregnant women 18 years of age and older.

What are the objectives of the Phase 2/3 study in pregnant women?
The Phase 2/3 clinical trial will evaluate the safety and immune response in healthy pregnant women 18 years of older between 24-34 weeks of their pregnancy. Each woman will participate in the study for approximately 7 to 10 months.

Why is it important to conduct a separate study in pregnant women?
We need to continue to gather the evidence on safety and efficacy to potentially support the use of the vaccine by important subpopulations. In general, pregnant women are considered a vulnerable population given the unique changes that happen to their bodies during pregnancy. The safety of some vaccines during pregnancy, however, is well documented and supported from multiple randomized clinical trials and observational studies that have demonstrated vaccines such as tetanus, Tdap, and Influenza to be safe for use during pregnancy.

Children

What is the design of the study in children under 12 years old?
The Phase 1/2/3 dose-escalation study in healthy children six months old to 11 years will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on a two-dose schedule (approximately 21 days apart) in three age groups:

Children ages 5 to 11 years
2 to 5 years
And 6 months to 2 years
Children younger than 6 months of age may subsequently be evaluated, once an acceptable safety profile has been established.

When can we expect results from this study? When will children be able to receive the vaccine?
If safety and immunogenicity is confirmed, and pending authorization or approval from regulators, we hope to submit the vaccine for potential Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sometime in the September-October timeframe for children 5 to 11, and soon after for 6 months to 5.

Well yeah why not still Billions to be made ka ching $$$$ ka ching $$$ how long before vaccines come out for our pets cats and dogs guinea pigs sheep horses the gravy train will never stop .

Thats not freedom, you blokes are so ******* delusional if you think scanning wherever you go and producing a vaccine passport is giving you freedom. And what about when you need to get your 3rd and 4th and 10th booster shot to get the green tick. Then it will be the vax to get the dole, then it will be the vax to get access to your own money.
The biggest plandemic is still head of us and honestly i think were all ******, there just has to be a massive financial crash and it will be all us on here that will suffer, the middleclass, the elites wont suffer. Probaly a couple of you that think youre elite but youd be very wrong.

I tend to agree it's hardy freedom over there, all the up roar about having a beer Staind up and the mandatory Vax, like come on, it's crap.

I would be interested to hear more a out the next plandemic that's coming.

Also it would be a stretch to call myself middle class to be honest. I am a complete shit kicker to be honest.

SA Health just doing their job as normal

SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens defends QR code check-in system after secret data shock
SA’s Police Commissioner has staunchly defended QR code check-ins, saying he has confidence in the system after it was revealed personal data was not destroyed as legally required.

Police Commissioner Grant Stevens has launched a strong defence of QR code check-ins, saying he has confidence in the system.

The Advertiser exclusively revealed on Tuesday that the state’s chief auditor found that personal data collected from QR codes is not destroyed as legally required.

The seven-month review, tabled in state parliament on Tuesday, also laid bare SA Health’s data “shortcomings” in poor control of Covid-19 records.

Mr Stevens defended the QR system, and said the “sinister” perspective on data storing was disappointing.

“It’s disappointing that this sort of, what’s the word, sinister perspective has been placed on how the data is being managed,” Mr Stevens told ABC Radio’s Ali Clarke.

“I am absolutely confident that the intent and commitment that was made to destroy data is being honoured.”

Authorities say that in any rare restoration, data older than 28 days is automatically deleted.

Mr Stevens said data is deleted every 28 to 35 days, to keep a buffer in case there is a system crash.

“Every 28 days, within seven days of a 28-day period, so within 35 days, the data is gone,” he said.

“Nobody can access that data after that period of time.

“It’s a natural requirement for any complex IT system that they backup the data, so if there’s a catastrophic system failure, they can retrieve the data and restore the system when that data is retrieved from the backup,” Mr Stevens said.

“We’ve probably got the best QR system in Australia and it’s been very well managed.”

Earlier, The Advertiser revealed the state’s chief auditor has found that personal data collected from QR codes is not destroyed as legally required, while SA Health’s poor control of Covid-19 records risks “compromising” sensitive details.

Despite repeated state government assurances electronic contact tracing records are deleted after 28 days, an official review found check-in details are secretly backed up.

While Auditor-General Andrew Richardson said this was “vital” to help recover critical information after any disaster, or systems failure, the government has never publicly disclosed such a requirement.

The seven-month review, tabled in state parliament on Tuesday, also laid bare SA Health’s data “shortcomings”.

Mr Richardson, whose review was revealed by The Advertiser in April, praised the quick Covid-Safe app launch in December last year after six weeks work using “industry best practice”.

He said “reasonable controls” protected user records, including phone numbers, data purging and user vetting appropriate while technology encryption was also secure.

Authorities say QR codes are vital to quickly track contacts in any Covid outbreak.

The Department of Premier and Cabinet said all back-up data will be destroyed when contact tracing is not needed.

Latest figures show almost 430 million check ins at 90,200 public locations.

More than 375.4 million records have been purged from the database and then stored.

Raising concerns at “inherent risks” with the database, investigators made 21 findings – 13 critical – including failures to formally conduct risk checks.

The 44-page report found 28 SA Health staff used personal email addresses to access confidential records while 345 agency users had “inappropriate” data permission including 28 administrators.

This “increases the risk” for data breaches or illegal use, it said. “This could compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of sensitive information,” it stated.

No breaches were found.

SA Health’s decision to keep QR code data “indefinitely” was “not consistent” with State Records laws while a small business unit can access records despite claims it was solely for contact tracers.

Officials say various reviews will overhaul the system in line with its findings.

An SA Health spokeswoman said check-in data was like a confidential health record and protected under state law.

“QR check-in information is only released upon request to SA Health for official contact tracing purposes or for managing the Covid-19 pandemic,” she said.

“Once the information is obtained for this purpose, it is managed as a confidential health record and protected under the Health Care Act 2008.”

Police Commissioner and state co-ordinator Grant Stevens told the inquiry all 11 recommendations would be acted on.

Officials say DPC securely backs up all critical systems, including the Covid-Safe Check-In system.

A DPC spokesman said: “The State Government assures South Australians their check-in data beyond the 28 day period required for contact tracing purposes is not accessible.”

But Labor health spokesman Chris Picton accused the government of a “breach of trust”.

“During this pandemic, South Australians have done the right thing, they have checked in and provided their data to the government in good faith, on the promise their data would only be used for contact-tracing purposes and then destroyed after 28 days,” he said.

“There are … serious questions about whether South Australians’ data has been secure.”

Love this quote from the perreinal clown Picton: “There are … serious questions about whether South Australians’ data has been secure.”

He was part of the government that sold all of our house / land ownership data with the LTO. Ever wondered how those solar phone calls know you own a house?

MP John Darley, a former Valuer-General, said the deal “gives the winning contractor the ability to access and sell information which is currently held by the Lands Services Group which may include spatial, valuation and ownership information of all properties in South Australia”.

[Psyber]

I have a solution for important data about me being secure:
My electoral enrolment is silent, and my property ownership has my identity and residential location suppressed. My medical registration also does not give out my residential address. ASIC have granted me permission to use my accountant's address in South Melbourne as my address for my directorship of my own superannuation fund management company.

There are criteria to meet to get these permissions - in my case it was a murder threat made against my then wife by a former psychotic patient.

I don't care who knows someone with a name the same as mine, which is not a rare one, has been to Woolies or the PO, or to lunch at Parliament House, etc.

For all the grizzling about masks and QR codes the real people being stitched up right now are those flying internationally into Melbourne who still have to do hotel quarantine.

At this point it seems you're far less likely to have it in hotel quarantine in Melbourne than you are out in the streets.

[daysofourlives]

So let me get this right, in Sydney right now you can be sick as a dog with covid and still go into pubs and clubs but if you're perfectly healthy you can't and unvaccinated you can't?
Yeah Na this is most definitely about your health, I can't believe you're all that gullible
