Good reply. Looks like Covid may effect the sense of humour.Quote:

Most of the restrictions they've imposed are from the Melbourne playbook but in some cases actually a bit stricter - no exercise permitted.
Naah, I'm a softie, I would have given the blue ones away out of pity. :angel::banana::banana::banana:Quote:

i find it funny that we dont know everything about the virus, as you posted earlier, but the vaccine is completely safe.
how can it be safe if we dont know everything about it...
I don't think even the makers have claimed the vaccine is completely safe. The actual data has yet to be assessed by the independent that has been nominated to do so, let alone peer reviewed and published. And nobody has ever claimed that any vaccine or treatment of any kind is completely safe. The requirement for any treatment or vaccine to be approved should be (and generally is) to show that there is a high probability of the treatment or vaccine to be much less dangerous than the condition or disease, taking into account the probability of infection (in this case of an infectious disease) and the probability of outcome of this infection compared with the side effects, their seriousness and probability of the vaccine.Quote:

No vaccine or drug is completely safe, you know this mate [emoji6]Quote:

Personally I would much rather take my chances having the vaccine than getting infected with COV19.Quote:
