2 just 2 and being investigated. That’s how you deal with it. Not 100s/thousands have no idea where they went .

When there is no community transmission and you have more chance of dying from the vaccine than the virus why rush? No-one knows the long term effects of any on these vaccines as they have been raced into service. The mRNA vaccine is completely knew technology and would not have usually been approved for use until 2026 or later. The astra Zeneca causes potentially fatal blood clots

The WHO suggests that the actual amount of people who have contracted COVID is 10-20 times higher than reported which would be fast approaching 30-40% of the world population. Why would these people then need to be vaccinated as well? The vaccine doesn’t guarantee/offer immunity just lesser symptoms.

I like the EUs COVID passport systems which included people who have contracted the virus previously as they would have a immune response as good if not much better than the vaccine.

If people have a secondary illness that puts them in the high risk category it is worth the risk if not...

I think your assumptions are incorrect. It assumes that there will be no community transmission, but as this article says,, outbreaks do occur. So if you take the chance of an outbreak occuring and you getting Covid vs getting the vaccine and then dying, I think if you are older, you would be best to get the vaccine. The odds arre in your favor.

No-one knows the long term effects of any on these vaccines as they have been raced into service.

Firstly they weren't rushed into service, but even if you believe that, we now have a study of millions of people who have got the vaccine. So also know the short term safety of the vaccine - incredibly good.

Also, vaccines aren't generally known to have long term effects. If a new vaccine is developed, after about 6 months, all the side-effects that could have happened, would have happened by then.

Be vigilant Australia! Don't let anyone in until you feel safe.

And people of Australia--get your vaccines. You received what, 8 or 10 as a child. No one loses sleep over that.

Incorrect!

As opposed to the Japanese Govt the Australian state and federal govts have turned contact tracing into a fine art! The chances of contracting the virus here are minimal to none. The only reason for getting the vaccine is if you are in a risk group or want to travel.

True. But that is still higher than dying of getting a vaccine.

All the Covid Vaccines are EUA (emergency Use Authorisation) only. No health body has given them full approval!

Emergency Use Authorization doesn't mean they were rushed, nor does comparison with the normal vaccine development times. Also, both of these aspects are a moot point as the vaccines have proved to be both safe and effective.
