While acknowledging climate change is real, I'm not going to discount the historical truth that humans on both sides of this debate contribute equally to the bushfire issues through ridiculous land management politics, and the situation is getting worse not better!
In one regional district, I recently came across a news article reporting efforts by a councillor to move a ban on the planting of gum trees, because they are dangerous in bush fires and storms!
Why do fires burn intensely?
One simple answer (in terms of what man can control).
Fuel load.
Byrams's Fire Intensity Equation - simple, clear, precise.
The unequivocal standard for nearly 70 years.
I = Hwr
I = intensity (kW/m)
H = heat yield of fuel (J/g) w= fuel consumed (kg/m2) r = spread (m/sec)
An interesting study reported in Lancet found that "Vaccine effectiveness [after a the third dose of vaccine] ... was estimated to be 93% (231 events for two doses vs 29 events for three doses; 95% CI 88–97) for admission to hospital, 92% (157 vs 17 events; 82–97) for severe disease, and 81% (44 vs seven events; 59–97) for COVID-19-related death." The study is based on data from Clalit Health Services, the provider of mandatory health-care coverage for over half of the Israeli population'
My analysis of the VAERS records showed 5 of the 13 died of cardiac arrest. That’s not normal for kids. In a recent 5 year period (2015 to 2019), there have been zero deaths listing cardiac arrest in that age group (as you might expect). Zero deaths in 5 years! So the 5 deaths are both excess and suspicious and merit investigation. But not according to the CDC.
The sooner we concede - or at least discuss openly - that this current batch of CV19 vaccines are next to useless - we might have a chance as a society.
VE, cited as a relative measure is a useless measure without looking at, in tandem, the absolute efficiency.
Time to revisit the swag of early treatments readily available (absent TGA 'bans').

2 jabs + 2 boosters in a 12 month period = NOT a vaccine.
Don't stop infection or transmission = destroys the argument for any form of vaccine passport.
Latest data out of the UK - vaccinated folk have higher rates of infection and hospitalisation than the unvaxxed....in all age deciles above 30.
Just a money generating, poorly conceived treatment. On a good day.
Let's see who steps up - so gleefully and readily for the ongoing series of boosters....
For a disease that was #38 on the causes of death in Australia in 2020 (pre vaccine). When the great majority of those CV19 related were caused by government malfeasance.
Meanwhile, our beloved Premier, true to form, forgetting (again) he's a public servant.
Judge dismisses challenges to NSW COVID-19 vaccination orders for workers, abc.net.au. The judgment was broadcast over a live stream on YouTube where some 40,000 people watched. Let’s hope the vaccine hesitant now have another reason to stop tilting at windmills and get their jabs like responsible citizens do for the public good.
Of course, the Victorian challenges may be able to find more support in the bill of rights, but the more general notion that vaccine mandates are unfair and unreasonable has taken a major hit.
Hell no, she’s on her way to sainthood after being a martyr to ICAC, so best avoid that.
Brilliant opinion piece from Michael Gerson in the Washington Post. When you’re reading this, bear in mind he is a neo-conservative and former speechwriter for George Dubya:
Brilliant? Facile more likely.
Why is CV19 anything to do with politics?
And herein lies your problem:

But if these vaccines are carefully tested and encourage greater immunity to a deadly disease, with minimal risk of side effects
That is laughable.
They have not been carefully tested - a blatant lie - studies are still ongoing. I understand some animal studies were skipped and several other tests eg relating to fertility.
They do not encourage greater immunity - even the manufacturer's acknowledge this fact.
And there is not minimal risk of side effects (and no one has any idea about the longer term issues - as we aren't there yet).
Love it! An anti-vaxxer was walking down Hollywood Boulevard using a bullhorn to spread her nonsense about Covid being a hoax. But she learned a valuable lesson: don't ask a question to which you don't know the answer, even if (or especially when) the question is a rhetorical one:
So, if vaccines (these current cv19 ones) are so effective, why the hate and heat on the unvaxxed to get jabbed?
You're safe as houses right?
(or perhaps you've seen the data out of Israel, the UK etc and you too appreciate they're a waste of bloody space against delta and likely future variants and will require ongoing multi annual jabs just to keep the drug company coffers topped up?)
By the way, how often in the last few years have you been in a pub or restaurant when someone has been happily puffing away on a cigarette inside? The rarity of such incidents isn’t just due to mindless enforcement of the law. Fact is non-smokers had no great desire to be breathing in a cloud of smoke just to humour a few people who felt they had the right to inflict their habit on others. Owners of restaurants realised they’d lose business if they didn’t enforce the law.
If there is a vaccine passport and it’s obvious the owners of a restaurant blow off that scheme, rest assured they’ll lose customers who don’t want to be seated in a room with the unvaccinated. There was a restaurant around where I live which closed down when they opened up for anti-lockdown protesters in defiance of restrictions. Though there were people who supported the actions of the owners, there were many who made it clear that they would never return to the restaurant. The owners bowed to the inevitable and announced they were closing for good.
Don’t underestimate how much businesses have to lose if the vaccinated believe their safety isn’t of great concern to the owners.
Nothing to see here, Flyboy77 is peddling certain uncertainty, the report conclusions are the exact opposite of the fears Flyboy77 wants to promote.
The report notes LNP(Lipid Nano-Particles, the particles which encapsulate the mRNA vaccine) also form in the body naturally as a response to inflammation, and the detected LNP levels are not outside the normal range expected for an inflammatory response.
Further no detrimental effect is expected from the LNP levels found in the study, the conclusions are that this response should be noted and monitored which is the perfect reasonable and the sensible option. It does not mean there is something to fear.
The report also omits any longer term data - 9 day is the norm, at least....
Odd that.
Conclusions can't be drawn on a lack of - or no - data.
But thanks LP. For trying to wash away the unwashable.
The same biodistribution studies released from Japan showing LNP accumulation in the ovaries of rats were actually released by the TGA in a FOI document here
