Why are fully vaccinated people subject to COVID-19 restrictions, and is that likely to change?

Millions of Australians are grappling with fresh COVID-19 lockdowns and enhanced social distancing measures as the country faces multiple unfolding outbreaks.

People, regardless of their vaccination status, are being asked to wear face masks, comply with strict stay-at-home orders, and adhere to various state border closures.

It's a different picture to Europe and many other parts of the world, where authorities have opened or are set to open quarantine-free travel to people who are fully immunised against COVID-19.

So why are fully vaccinated Australians not afforded the same freedoms? And can we expect that to change?

How much protection do I get when I'm fully vaccinated?

Australia's COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at protecting people against symptomatic and severe disease, and at reducing their risk of becoming infected.

But no vaccine is 100 per cent effective, said epidemiologist Meru Sheel of the Australian National University.

"They reduce your ability to get the infection … but these vaccines were never designed to stop 100 per cent of infection," Dr Sheel said.

The vaccines' effectiveness depends on how many doses someone has received, and what COVID-19 variant is circulating.

It is currently recommended that people have two shots of Pfizer three weeks apart, or two shots of AstraZeneca 12 weeks apart, for maximum effect.

Data suggests two shots of either the AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccines reduce the risk of hospitalisation and death by more than 90 per cent against the original virus.

And two doses of Pfizer provide around 94 per cent protection against symptoms, while two doses of AstraZeneca provide 74 per cent protection.

But both vaccines are less effective against the highly transmissible Delta variant, Dr Sheel said.

While one dose of either vaccine only provides around 33 per cent protection against symptoms from Delta, two doses provide between 88 per cent (Pfizer) and 60 per cent (AstraZeneca) protection against symptoms.

Maricopa County Announces They Will No Longer Use the 2020 Voting Machines – GOP Senator Wendy Rogers Chimes In: “Ban ALL fraud machines!”

Maricopa County officials announced on Monday they will not use fraudulent voting equipment again. “The County will never use equipment that could pose a risk to free and fair elections.”

On Monday, woke local Arizona journalist Jen Fifield shared some good news for a change.

Maricopa County will no longer use “compromised” voting machines. This announcement comes after Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobb’s May 20, 2021 letter, to the County, blaming the Arizona Senate for compromising the machines.

If we want free and fair elections, we should just go back to paper ballots.

Unlike machines, paper cannot be compromised without one’s knowledge.

We know the machines were compromised long before the Senate took hold of them. If fraud occurred in November, voting machines do need to be replaced.

If the machines were so secure, cyber ninjas would not be able to compromise the machines, and Dominion, with total access, could correct any issues.

The Arizona Senate still has not received Dominion routers or passwords.

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers wants ALL fraudulent voting machines replaced.

Fifield: Breaking: Maricopa County announces it will not use any of the voting equipment that has been in the hands of Cyber Ninjas again. County was required under subpoenas to give most of the $6 million in equipment it leases from Dominion to the Senate for the audit.

It appears that Katie Hobbs and the county are trying to destroy the evidence before the final report comes out likely in August.

This was not the most secure election in American History and they know it.

Pittsburgh man dies after 2nd Moderna dose, doctors say, in first known blood clotting case linked to the vaccine

Doctors in Pennsylvania have reported the first known case of severe blood clotting believed to be linked to Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine, after an elderly man contracted the condition and died within days of his second dose.

Healthcare professionals at the Allegheny Health Network in Pittsburgh reported the case on Monday, noting that a 65-year-old man arrived at the hospital with a serious form of blood clotting known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia (TTS) just 10 days after his second and final dose of the Moderna shot. Two days later, the unnamed patient, who also suffered from chronic hypertension and high cholesterol levels, died, with doctors concluding his symptoms were consistent with vaccine-induced clotting, also known as VITT.

“The distribution of thrombosis, especially the cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, was characteristic of VITT or TTS,” the doctors wrote in a journal article published at the Annals of Internal Medicine.

They said their findings “fulfill the interim case definition of VITT or TTS” set out by the CDC and that further blood tests “[strengthened] the likelihood” of a vaccine-linked condition. However, while they called their evidence for VITT “robust,” the doctors cautioned that they could not rule out other causes for the clotting.

The report in Pittsburgh would be the first known case of blood clotting linked to a vaccine based on messenger RNA, or genetic material located in the cell, which includes those developed by Moderna and Pfizer. While a number of recipients of the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson shots have developed clotting, including some fatal cases, those vaccines use different technology and are instead based on a deactivated adenovirus.

The doctors at Allegheny Health said their research “complicates” theories that prior clotting cases were specifically caused by adenovirus-based vaccines, as some experts have previously speculated.

While adverse reactions have remained uncommon among the millions of vaccine recipients in the US, clotting is not the only vaccine-related condition to crop up. Last week, the CDC reported more than 1,200 cases of a rare disorder known as myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart, in those who took the Pfizer and Moderna shots, which comes out to about 12.6 per million doses. The health body found a “likely association” between the vaccines and the condition, though noted it is “still a rare event.”

Ongoing clotting complications with the AstraZeneca and J&J inoculations have also prompted some countries to put the shots on hold, with Denmark opting to continue its suspension last Friday. Though the AstraZeneca formulation has yet to be approved in the US, American health officials previously paused the J&J shot over safety concerns, but resumed its rollout in April.

While the doctors in Pittsburgh may have discovered the first clotting case linked to an mRNA vaccine, they noted that “many millions” had received such immunizations without serious side effects, adding that their report “should not prevent persons from receiving the benefits of these vaccines.”
