Yes, but why the kerfuffle over the EU supposedly stopping delivery? Was that just bull**** too? Why worry about more from Europe, when we make our own, we might ask. Perhaps it's not so much production, as delivery. And who is in charge of delivery?Quote:

Weeeeeeeelll they might as well.
EDIT.
Scomo mate, you had better get your Mob's act together as Election Day draws closer, just like your nuts in a Mangle.
Quit the bull****, give us the truth & get the **** on with it ASAP.
Hang on , old mate The EU [ France & Germany included] were making AZ long before we started. They are well advanced in their vaccination programs, we are rated 90th in the World. Their problems were their public just weren't disciplined enough [ unlike Aus.] to do all what was necessary to keep safe. Including hard lock downs. And we are lucky we are not as densely populated as Europe, and even more fortunate to be relatively isolated from the rest of the World, [ except PNG, which is now a worry. Why have we waited so long to help PNG, it was obvious that the virus would run rampant there?] If there are failings in our vaccination process , don't point the finger at any one outside Australia.Quote:

It's the lack of transparency , and that's a word that needs translating , so here goes;
Transparency, as used in science, engineering, business, the humanities and in other social contexts, is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed. Transparency implies openness, communication, and accountability.
Let that be the start point.
The Australian-made dosesQuote:

What’s actually happening: CSL is still not producing one million doses a week of AstraZeneca, but it is getting close.
Mr Hunt revealed on Wednesday about 1.3 million doses of CSL-made AstraZeneca had already been distributed, with another 1.7 million expected to be batch tested and ready for administration “over the next eight or so days”.
It equates to about three million doses over three and a half weeks. However, CSL did fall short of plans to supply two million doses by the end of March.
Professor Murphy said CSL would produce about 800,000 doses a week in coming weeks, but had given a “strong commitment” to “regularly achieve over a million doses a week”.
TND understands CSL is looking to make refinements to its processes to accelerate the doses it produces, including quickening its “fill and finish” process where raw product is bottled and distributed.

All we need to do is find a way to send Scomo a copy of this thread including your line....:Rolling:

It was inevitable, but there has been a case of the virus in Victoria at hotel quarantine. Nothing to worry about at this point, you would think. Have all those working in hotel quarantine been vaccinated? How much difference does it make, if they haven't had the second dose?. And why the hell are we talking about this at this stage of our vaccine roll out?

The health of all Australians is at stake here.
Probably waiting in a very long queue in the UK. Or died of C19?Quote:

although it is the sort of patriotic crap that Alf would have spouted in one of his irrational moments at the tea Table.
