  1. Yes, Katie, what your said about vaccination being effective in preventing serious illness and deaths in vulnerable populations can't be disputed. Vaccination rates in the vulnerable age groups over 70 are now 85% first jab and should be the same for the second other than your governments incompetent decision to advise 12 weeks before the second jab (a 3 month wait for the most vulnerable, what fool thought that was a good idea). That stupidity should be able to be rectified in a matter of weeks. So other than that, Australia is already in excellent shape to remove all restrictions. There is ZERO benefit in delaying opening up to vaccinate perfectly healthy under 60 year olds. ZERO!

  2. Katie, take some advice from someone who actually knows something about covid ....... "Prof Pollard also warned that herd immunity was "not a possibility" because the delta variant would continue to infect people who had been vaccinated. Even if all children were vaccinated, that wouldn't stop transmission of the virus, he said. Over time, there needed to be a move away from community testing of mild infections - which will boost people's immunity - to clinically-driven testing of people who become unwell, he added. The focus should be on improving treatment for people who become seriously ill from Covid in hospital, Prof Pollard said." P.S. For those unaware, Professor Andrew Pollard lead the team that developed the AstraZenica vaccine.
