The bloke who cleans our Concrete Water Storage tank calls himself "The Tank Doctor" but I bet he'd be bloody useless when it came to diagnosing humans. No Kid.

On the other hand, I regularly talk to a cousin of mine, who does not call himself a doctor - but his last job before retirement was Chief Veterinary Officer for the state, and in this role his major concern was contagious diseases and their control. While not particularly expert on diseases of the homo sapiens mammal, he has a very good knowledge of infection control for mammals in general - and currently is advising the local health district on control of the pandemic. He is not a doctor, but thoroughly understands the science and also the practice of infection control.

Vets are underrated because they treat multiple species and their patients are unable to tell them whats wrong either.

So, a couple of the A.V's at work now have a copy of their covid certificate on their phones, hopefully they get busted or have to scan in to get into places. They'll do anything to get out of it

The ultimate payback will be when they sign in to somewhere with their dodgy certificate, catch covid and end up on a ventilator. Its not like they are a hazard to vaccinated people.....Having said that the govt has said that the NSW app won't be the only way to prove your vaccinated status. By December it will all be over anyway and then they can go where they please unvaccinated and take their chances. I can't see them getting caught with a dodgy certificate going to a pub but that trip to Bali might be off the agenda.

I hope work makes it mandatory as we are classed as essential workers, working in commercial premises, hospitals, peoples homes etc....these people are so insanely paranoid all because of youtube vids.

I'm not sure that the anti-vaxxers have worked this out yet, but in the past, with diseases like measles, they've been protected by the vaccinated majority and because outbreaks of the relevant disease have been contained and therefore aren't widespread, so their chances of getting infected were pretty low. That's not the case this time: Covid is everywhere, almost endemic, and they stand a very good chance of being infected - with potentially serious consequences for their health.
