Of course we can avoid it: 1. 95% of the population vaccinated - this will be easy once under 12s are eligible in January, and 2. Make sure everyone has the full regimen: 3 doses for ModeRNA, and 3+ doses for Pfizer/AstraZeneca

@jordanwatson259 I believe some countries already tax unhealthy food like high fat and high sugar items, so it's not exactly groundbreaking rocket surgery! Increase tax on fast food. Additionally, why aren't people who haven't had their measles, mumps, and polio vaccines also been fired?! Complete double standards hypocrisy right there - those 3 are more dangerous than COVID.

@jordanwatson259 you have a rather bizarre definition of 'survival rate' - Long COVID Syndrome effects 2%-4% of young children, and 10%-15% of adults. My two fit and healthy 40-yo friends in California are still suffering permanent lung damage 18 months after infection. Furthermore the 1918 flu epidemic saw brain damage show up 5 years after infection (Parkinson's disease - watch a video of that death sentence). People who focus on the side reactions of the vaccines yet in the same brain fart completely ignore the side reactions of the virus are being ridiculously illogical / irrational. You are 1,000 times more likely to be permanently injured by the virus than by any of these vaccines.

It's not contained until we reach 95% of the population vaccinated - that won't happen until about Easter. Though I agree that no one should be losing their jobs due to not being vaccinated - we should treat people like we do with tobacco and alcohol: tax them with a 5% Medicare surcharge.

@tb5827 they're 3rd doses - i.e. dose 3 of 3. They are not boosters - get with the program.

@jordanwatson259 cut out that ridiculous nonsense: none of the vaccines used in Australia (or Singapore, UK, or USA) contain the actual spike protein. They all contain a modified spike protein - not the same one in the virus. Please stop listening to nuph nuph antivaxxers who have no clue whatsoever.
