Not sure if Nuremberg 1947 and Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 allows people to expose others to known and foreseeable harm? Pretty sure flu vaccines are compulsory in several work areas?

Employers should get their own legal advice if:

• they’re considering making coronavirus vaccinations mandatory in their workplace, or
• they operate in a coronavirus high-risk environment (for example, health care or meat processing)"

Yes, and there are many thousands of known coronavirises and many more unknown.
Just search 'Emerging viruses' - and prepare to be very scared.

I think you could mandate mandatory Covid vaccinations for employees just via your obligation to provide a safe worksplace for your staff, which of course flows on to protecting your "customers" as well.

Passing the buck eh Navy......nothing new there....a fairly typical response from a government organisation faced with a decision which will have future ramifications in both the legal and ethical areas.

I was somewhat nonplussed watching our PM on TV yesterday. He stated that the various vaccination types and their allocated age groups was not a rule but a guideline. So I take this to mean I can now ignore the AZ and front for the Pfizer. Happy days.

Whatever you do, this is starting to look serious. One is an aged care worker, believed to be unvaccinated. However, the residents are vaccinated with Pfizer. Thank goodness.

Yes, they've been around for millennia, mostly in animals. Do you really think that the Chinese weren't playing with this stuff? Manipulating it? Fiddling with it's genetics?

"Let's see what happens if we do this. Oh **** that wasn't supposed to happen!"

There is much speculation as to the origin of this particular virus. I was going to post some articles but for ever article that says it is not natural there is one that says it is. I guess we'll never know because the CCP will cover everything up and if the world gets too close to the truth there just may be an unexplained fire at the WIV.

Here's a thought. If this is transferred from bats,....................STOP EATING BATS!!!!!

Again, thanks China.
