Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #2160 – February 19, 2021, 11:48:12 pm From what I have heard about the development of COVID vaccines, the research started with the SARS outbreak. All that was needed was a sample of the COVID virus - provided by the Peter Doherty Institute - and testing could get underway. Government bureaucracy, albeit the CSIRO, was heavily involved.However, I think that LP has a valid point about Governments and forward planning. They are wedded to the election cycle and refuse to provide long term funding for future-proofing exercises, be they health, housing, education, energy, environment, etc.The problem with the syringes is not quantity; there are more than enough. It's that the syringes we have waste a small amount of vaccine with every injection. The Federal Government is trying to source syringes that minimise that wastage. Inefficient? Probably. Incompetent? Not really. Quote Selected Last Edit: February 20, 2021, 02:12:06 pm by DJC

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #2162 – February 20, 2021, 03:27:43 pm Well, it happened... I saw footage of anti-vaxxers and sure enough, couple puffing on a cigarette and a number morbidly obese folks (with apologies if it is a medical condition and not a result of gorging).
