Our 1.16% second dose vax yesterday is the highest we’ve had, and if we keep it up (including on weekends) we’re at 80% on Friday 29/10.

covid-19 + covid-19 vaccine...

PASSING THOUGHT: Our world faces 2 risks/variables/unknowns=covid-19+covid-19vaccines. Like many, I dislike a mandated vaccine BUT, to me, covid-19 is the greater risk, the invisible killer. So, I accept the lesser risk of vaccine in preference to being fully 'naked' to covid-19. pic.twitter.com/KiZPHpulHy

While we Victorians agonise over numbers, vaccination and masks, there are still those away from 'high risk' data who wear other views... This one from a driver in the Northern Territory who, admittedly, has not been caught up in the urban 'close' fears...

I won’t be getting vaccinated

— BoutaNT (@bouta_nt) October 13, 2021

I don’t necessarily disagree with the vaccine. I totally disagree with them forcing you to get it.

— BoutaNT (@bouta_nt) October 13, 2021

The virus has a 99.7% survival rate for fuck sake. I’ll take my chances. And vaccinated people are still getting it. Wake up for fuck sake.

— BoutaNT (@bouta_nt) October 13, 2021

And I think I said if you want to travel then I understand the vaccine. It’s a personal choice.
