Why do people who don't understand how things work have this idea that everything has to be "all or nothing"?

Why can't they understand that it isn't a case of 100% protection or 0% protection?

Boosters are about increasing the protection already provided by the first doses. The fact the protection has declined does not mean that it failed. It just means that the level of protection can be improved.

Would you claim that eating breakfast was a failure because you felt hungry again at lunch time?

I would say that they are a tiny minority in comparison to the numbers of West Australians that don't want COV19 forced upon them.

So WA's gone from "an opening plan" to "indefinite no opening plan" again.... FFS

So my booster protection will have waned by 4 months when the state gets to 90% 3rd jab, will the whole process just repeat itself again, and again.....?

At the current rate WA will still be doing the same in 50 years time - WA does have to face reality at some stage - however vaccinations are still way behind every one else and the health system has not be upgraded to deal with the possible Omocron onslaught - now wait maybe on reflection it is best to stay locked up to allow the infrastructure and vaccination rate to catch up to be able to deal with the virus but at the current rate of progress is likely to be 50 years before anything happens.

Look on the bright side, At least you won't have to test the effectivity of your vaccinations for a while
More importantly neither will anyone else.

Sounds like pretty good advice It is a shame that those to the East of us didn't think of that, That way less people would have died because of the mad rush to open up and let it rip

It’s here and it’s speeding up, not slowing down. Slow though it may be, it’s already out of control.

If you call 82 active cases in the entire State "out of control" How would you describe what is happening in the other States at the moment.?
There were 122 active cases on 16th Jan and today there are 82 active cases, Those figures do Not suggest that this is "Out of control" at all.
