So let’s get this stra8 .. playing league is high risk and everyone is going crazy that players don’t want to take flu shot , which is our democratic right As they are undertaking high risk in the covid environment and it’s to save lives from the covid virus which a flu shot does NOT Protect against

then why the f*** won’t a covid vaccine be mandatory to society if one is found

https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-...ons-ease/9841a727-e8fd-4cb7-a01f-73ec6ee4a5f9

So as per deputy chief officer comments it seems
Footy players have to take a flu vaccine that doesn’t protect against the covid virus , but when a vaccine for that actual virus gets released people don’t have to take it .

Please tell me how that makes sense

Because of circumstances and risk.

You're not FORCED to take anything.

you are being FORCED If you cannot continue employment without taking a flu vaccine
And I would think that the actual risk is the rest of country not taking the vaccine that actually protects against the actual virus then a injection for something else

If they don't want to adhere to the conditions of their ongoing employment then they can apply for Jobseeker whilst finding new employment.

Replace the word FORCED with the word CHOICE.

We all have choices we can & sometimes must make.

Wuhan is calling. What do you choose ?

I think Wuhan is what this country has become and you all have become used to bending over and don’t realise it.
Flu shot protects against flu - must take flu shot to function in covid society
Covid vaccine protects against covid - she will be right don’t worry about taking it you don’t have too

Cool story needs a little more hyperbole.

I think that you will find that when a Vaccine is developed, that the vast majority of the population will take it as they do for things like TB and Tetnus and a all the other myriad of diseases.

Flu is different because it is endemic, and it is seasonal for most part, and it does not overwhelm healthcare systems so totally or almost guarantee to kill off the elderly.

It may turn out that Covid dies out completely in the presence of a world wide vaccination program, we just don't know.

The other difference is that Flu is a known threat that is well understood, and manageable.

Flu doesn't disrupt supply chains and force Governments to use the defence act or war powers to force meat plant workers to go into a place of work where workers are dying from it.

At this stage in our understanding of Covid 19, comparisons to a seasonal influenza virus is not useful.

There will also likely be a degree of compulsion if the public do not create herd immunity to Covid by accepting the Vaccine.

You will find governments forced to legislate to protect economies, healthcare, and citizens from a new virus (although they will hope for voluntary compliance in adequate numbers in the first instance).

This flu vax story is just the ultimate in the media milking the life out of this. Next it will be 'League star J walks, threatening the return of the NRL -so selfish and stupid says Kent'. So what if they don't get the flu shot. Are they getting dengue fever shot.

Just tell them "if you don't get the flu shot you will wake up looking like Phil Gould".
