We as in all anti vaxxers,
I am probably allowed in the shop now but why should i support a business that discriminated.
I could order online but I prefer to pay cash and support local mum dad business.

I agree, AV(antivaxer) and CT(conspiracy theorists) should not be discriminated against.
They should have been able to have their protests (festivals) 3 years ago without being bashed by the police.
But now in 2023 its time to recognise this community and make them feel included in society.
So LGBTQIA+ has now been changed to LGBTQIA+AV CT.

Thankyou (they lotofwind) for accepting us into your LGBTQ+ community. Because your authority and leadership in the LGBTQ+ community could you design a flag for us?
Sorry I don't know your pronouns.

Is there a question to this?

I will naively assume that you are highlighting that social distancing and mask wearing which were intended in reducing the spread of an airborne virus were effective in reducing the spread of an airborne virus.

Makes you wonder if it also reduced the spread of Covid compared to what it would have been like otherwise. Well it makes me wonder anyway.

Uh oh, I just got it. Japie has posted it. And the WHO would not have posted a question bubble on their own data asking where the flu went. Which means that someone has editted the graphic and posted it around to people like Japie who have latched onto it for some reason.

Which means Japie may or may not understand what is important about the graph.

I retract my assumption that it was about effective control of airborne virusses and go with one of the following:

A) - The illuminati were too short staffed to coordinate more than one virus at a time.

B) - The guys at WHO were too scared to go to work so they submitted no reports on the flu for the entire period.

C) - The paperwork in accidentally releasing new strains of the flu were too onerous on the Big Pharma guys so they only sent the new one out.

D) - Big Pharma want to delay the release date of the next flu as they are making so much money from Covid.


Now that I see them written out it is clear that one or more of these are the answer. Clearly masks and lockdowns don't work as some doctor somewhere said they didn't.

Mostly B. if you reviewed this data with the accompanying explanations, not surprisingly WHO explain it. First dot point in WHO influenza updates (eg from 403 in mid 2021):

The current influenza surveillance data should be interpreted with caution as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has influenced to varying extents health seeking behaviours, staffing/routines in sentinel sites, as well as testing priorities and capacities in Member States. The various hygiene and physical distancing measures implemented by Member States to reduce SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission have likely played a role in reducing influenza virus transmission.
In Australia there was no mandatory reporting to flunet for a couple of seasons.

Interesting you pick a graphic that seems to minimise the impact of two deadly childhood diseases.
On that scale it looks like whooping cough and measles deaths were near zero prior to vaccination and very little change since.

What it doesn't show is that in the years leading up to vaccination, the modern standard of care for children had stalled at reducing deaths from measles at around 300 dead kids a year in the US alone.

Society didn't accept 300 dead kids from a disease when vaccination became available, with widespread in the US the number of deaths from Measles dropped to single digits or less.

And now thanks to 'silenced anti-vaccine' career misinformation spreaders*, those deaths from a vaccine preventable disease are rising around the world.

*I'm talking about every anti-vaccine' Dr, pseudo scientist, alternative health, and supplement salesperson who claims to have been silenced/censored while some how maintaining a healthy monetized YouTube, Substack, Fox media presence (hell even the Authors of the Great Barrington Declaration got to advise Trump and are now providing their version of events to Senate inquires)

Silenced my arse!

Your living in the past, done to death, move on.

We should treat the vaccine injured like returned war veterans with injuries. They took the vaccines for the greater good. It was marketed as 'safe & effective'. Clearly it wasn't for many people.

If the Government or your workplace mandated it & you got injured, then you should be entitled for compensation. Anything less than that & it's a scandal.

I applied for the covid vaccine compensation scheme in May of 2022. Jabbed October 2021I finally got a response last week April 2023 asking for me to organise appointments with my cardiologist, immunologist & GP so that they can all confirm and rule out any other cause of my autoimmune condition that's continually enlarging my heart.
The covid compensation scheme in Australia is so overwhelmed and under staffed that it's not coping. I've spoken with many staff there who all sound depressed as hell after speaking with hundreds of thousand's vaccine injured people.
My doctors are in disbelief that it's taken so long for a response and that they want it in writing AGAIN. It will slowly come out how absolutely incompetent Australia was when it came to covid. But yeh sure move along

OK, it really does sound like you got crazy unlucky, and yours is the kind of case that compensation scheme is supposed to be for.

I wish you the best and hope you get some improvement with your health.

In regards to finding many other similarly unlucky people on this forum, there's probably not many.

The proportion of reported Adverse events to Doses administered is so low that it just highlights how rare your situation is.

As of 2nd April this year, there had been 65,664,650 doses administered in n Australia (approx 2.5 times our population) registered with TGA.
There had been 138,117 adverse event reports (including headaches, fevers, chills, muscle soreness) .

So I'd be very surprised if the COVID compensation scheme is actually having to deal with "hundreds of thousands" applications.

However, I'm sorry to say your case is possibly being held up by people like my mate . He had a Pfizer dose, then about 9 months later had an event sort of similar to yours but it resolved itself in a couple of months (bit of a scare with his lungs and heart and rampant inflammation). What he is trying to hide from the review of his application is that in the 6 months prior to his "reaction" he had: RSV, then Flu, then COVID, then Viral Pneumonia. Any one of those viruses could have triggered onset of his episode.

But I hope that you can get the assistance you need and there is a change for the better in your health

Pick me. Pick me!

He put the graphic up, with no text explanation of his own, because someone sent it to him.

It's called 'doing research'.

"On a global scale, influenza circulation was particularly low in 2020 as lockdown and travel-related quarantines were imposed in many countries."

Actually it's called "Doing your own research".

Yeah, I know My bad... I need to get with the program!

It's like "doing your own plumbing" and "doing your own electrical work", what could possibly go wrong?

No, not the same at all!

With plumbing or electrical you can say that it is done and can even test it.

With this sort of 'research' you just join the dots even if the dots aren't in a line, the same size, the same colour, and even if they are invisible, and arrive at whatever you wanted to, while also ignoring any dots that don't work with your story (oh sorry, the word is narrative if you are in the know ).

The great thing about 'doing your own research' is that you are actually just copying what someone else has sent you, so it saves you effort too. It is generally of the type that cannot be verified or demonstrated, but it just is, so it saves a lot of time.

The only "research" you need to do is look at anything on YouTube.
ALL medical advice and conspiracy theories on YouTube are 100% true, you just write it has been peer reviewed and all the tin hatters get suckered into it. lol
Social media is their research, it's a shame they gobble up the crap they get fed, then copy and paste it on other social media sites thinking they have personally uncovered the truth.

This comment has been peer reviewed, and fact checked so you can't argue it's not true

^^^^^^Yep, agreed.
It seems the majority of people that got any side effects from the jab were already anti gov, anti vax or already a CT. Strange hey??
It seems a bit funny that the jab found these types of people the easiest to give side effects to.
Maybe it is all a conspiracy....... maybe the gov. wanted to wipe out these type of people and made the jab to only attack the anti everything crew.

OMG, I'm off to buy a roll of aluminium foil, now that I unravelled the truth of the covid conspiracy they might be trying to aim the 5G satellites at the lizard people to come and kill me!!!! The German secrete society might be tracking my seabreeze posts as we speak.......

I'd better make a YouTube vid of my findings so the gullible will believe its all true. with a warning the gov. is trying to silence me, so they think its legit. lol

Are you pointing out that COVID vaccination is like tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, typhoid, hepatitis, influenza and others that require a booster vaccination? If so, thank you for reminding us.

Your theory is that the rest of us have got these 'injuries' but didn't notice? Or because we didn't test for them, we didn't know we had them?

It sounds like you're describing a condition called 'hypochondria'.

I mostly hang around with rational people. All but one are full vaccinated. None had any side effects other than feeling crap for a day. None of them mentioned issues with their families or friends. I don't know anyone who has had a serious edverse event. The people I know who have had COVID had mild symptoms and feel crap for a few days.

However, two people I know, one an anti-vaxxer and one who claims to have had a serious adverse event caused by the vaccine, both say they know many people who's lives have been ruined by COVID vaccination.

This got me thinking that it's like people who "see" UFOs or claim to have been abducted by aliens; they report they have had this experience repeatedly and that they know other people who have been abducted. Surely these "unlucky ones" are not surrounded by other unlucky people. Is it some sort of mass-psychosis?

Thanks for your anecdotes, I trust all your decades of research is conducted in the same manner.
Anyhow, there is value in the theory that anti vaxxers are disproportionately get injuries, it's not that they get them more often, it's more so that they are in tune and getting tested for them.

Like in Mark Skidmore's survey where he found:
-people who knew someone who experienced a health problem from Covid19 were more likely to be vaccinated.

-People who knew someone who experienced a health problem following vaccination were less likely to be vaccinated themselves.

The survey also found that despite having lower vaccination rates as a political demographic, self-identifying Republicans were more likely to know someone who had an adverse reaction to vaccination.

The paper has been retracted over methodology issues.

But I like to think it shines a light on why people might be more prone to report things that align with their world view, beliefs and background.
