Targeting 'fence-sitters' key to improving Queensland's COVID-19 vaccination rates before state opens up

The Queensland government needs to do more to target "fence-sitters" and smarter, stronger marketing strategies are needed to boost vaccination uptake and get the state over the finish line before borders reopen, experts warn.

While Australia has reached the 80 per cent full vaccination target of those over 16, Queensland is still playing catch-up.

Queensland is expected to reach the 80 per cent single-dose COVID-19 vaccination of those over 16 milestone today — the rate currently sits at 79.6 per cent.

Queensland COVID-19 snapshot

In the past 24 hours:

Locally acquired cases: 0

Other sources: 1

Tests: 8,121

Queensland's vaccine rollout (percentage of those aged 16+):

First dose: 79.6 per cent

Second dose: 67.4 per cent

Latest case information from Queensland Health.

According to the latest figures, 67.4 per cent of Queenslanders aged 16 and older are fully vaccinated.

However, jab rates in regional areas are still lagging behind – and time is of the essence.

The Queensland government released its roadmap to reopening the state's borders last month, but this has not resulted in a notable spike in vaccination uptake.

In the past week, Cairns has had a 2.1 per cent increase in first doses, central Queensland recorded growth of 2.5 per cent and Ipswich 2 per cent.

The Gold Coast recorded first dose growth of just 1.8 per cent.

Today Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced there will be greater freedoms granted to Queenslanders fully vaccinated against COVID-19 from next month.

Marketing experts suggest appealing to 'FOMO'

Griffith University consumer behaviour expert Joy Parkinson said government efforts should focus on convincing "fence-sitters" or the vaccine-hesitant.

"There's always a certain part of the population that are really hard to get to – to change their behaviours, whether that's to get them to give up smoking or to even wear a seatbelt, they're hesitant," she said.

Arizona School Board, Police Coordinated To Spy On, Arrest Concerned Parents

An Arizona school board coordinated with the Chandler Police Department to gather information on concerned parent groups and arrest unmasked parents at school board meetings.

The Chandler Unified School District’s (CUSD) Director of School Safety was in communication with Sergeant Greg Howarth, a Chandler police officer, in April and May, as parents were protesting mandatory masking in schools, according to emails obtained by the blog “Not in our Schools.” Howarth was tasked with aggregating intelligence on local concerned parent groups, all of whom are adamantly opposed to Critical Race Theory-inspired curriculum being taught in the district.

On May 4, CUSD’s Director of School Safety Tanya Smith notified Howarth that one of the agenda items at an upcoming May 12 governing board meeting was about mask mandates. Smith said that she was patrolling social media to see which parent groups were attending and asked police, “if you hear anything specific, can you please let us know.”

Hours later, Howarth said that he had access to the websites of concerned parent groups and would “be monitoring all of them” and updating the district.

In a separate email, Smith told Howarth that CUSD governing board member Jason Olive was in conversations with a school board member in a separate district who had access to a parent Facebook group. Olive’s inside source claimed that CUSD’s governing board meeting would be the next “target” of parent activists who wanted to end mandatory masking.

By the end of May, the Chandler Police Department had an intelligence operation on parents underway. According to an email dated May 27, Howarth informed Lieutenant Jason Sieczkowski about his research into different parent groups.

“Here are some sites for you to pass along to the Intel Unit and Lt. Salazar, so whomever [sic] is coordinating and running this [operation] can continue to monitor and prepare for this one,” Howarth said.

Howarth pointed to three groups specifically. First, he pointed to the group “Parents for Equity in Education,” a group of progressive parents that calls for a curriculum inspired by critical race theory teachings. The police officer dubbed two opposing groups to “Parents for Equity in Education” as “the disruptors.”

“Disruptors” include the group “Purple for Parents,” which advocates for the removal of Critical Race Theory-inspired curriculum, and a fringe Republican political group named “Patriot Party AZ.”

Howarth’s “intel” included links to the left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate watch” page. The intelligence was focused more on the fringe political group and its leader than on actual parent groups that were protesting the mask mandates.

Other links included in the “intel” report were to articles that dubbed passionate parents as disruptive for speaking out against their school board. The examples of “disruptive” protests included three examples of parents refusing to wear their masks.

Howarth also said that the progressive Parents for Equity in Education had tagged the Chandler Police Department to deal with unmasked parents.

According to the available emails, coordination between the police and CUSD began in April. The first emails available date to April 27, when Howarth crafted a strategy for CUSD board meetings. The police officer encouraged the president of the governing board to “cut the mic” for any parent that speaks without wearing a mask.

Obama demands urgency on climate, but says nothing about carbon footprint of bombing campaigns

Ex-President Barack Obama tried to get in a few jabs at political opponents while sounding the climate-change alarm at COP26, but critics called him out for harming the planet with bombing campaigns and lavish lifestyle.

“Some of our progress stalled when my successor decided to unilaterally pull out of the Paris agreement in his first year in office,” Obama said on Monday at the UN climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland. “I wasn’t real happy about that.” He went on to accuse former President Donald Trump of “active hostility” against climate science and said America lacked leadership during his successor’s four-year term.

Twitter users suggested otherwise, noting that Obama’s own record on climate change was stained by military interventions around the globe, among other alleged sins against humanity and the environment. “Progress wasn’t stalled by Trump,” one commenter said. “It was stalled when the Obama administration dropped 26,171 bombs in his final year in the White House… How good was that for the climate?”

Fresh outbreaks of highly contagious bird flu confirmed in Europe

Several outbreaks of the highly contagious H5N1 avian flu have cropped up across Poland’s poultry farms, affecting over half a million birds, animal health officials have said. An outbreak was also confirmed in England on Monday.

The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) revealed the Polish outbreaks on Monday, saying that five were documented in the eastern part of the country alone. Four of the instances were at turkey-fattening facilities, and one at a chicken broiler farm. Meanwhile in western Poland, another outbreak was discovered at a turkey and geese farm.

Nearly 650,000 fowl at the country’s farms have been contaminated with the highly pathogenic bird flu, the OIE said.

In a statement released by Poland’s Chief Inspectorate Veterinary on Saturday, the body said that it implements disease control measures at farms which suffer bird flu outbreaks. These actions can include killing infected animals, deep cleaning and disinfecting contaminated areas, and establishing designated infectious zones.

Warsaw is not alone in facing a bird flu outbreak. A 3km protection zone, as well as a 10km radius for surveillance purposes, was established on Monday in the UK county of Warwickshire, following an outbreak of the deadly influenza strain at a small poultry unit.

Poultry owners in this zone will be required to record the details of any visitors, to stop the spread of the highly contagious strain. Meanwhile, any owners in the 3km sphere will have to isolate their birds.

H5N1 is estimated to have a mortality rate of around 53% in humans who contract the disease following contact with infected fowl. Between 2003 and October 2021, 863 human infections with H5N1 have been recorded globally, according to World Health Organization data, with 456 of these proving fatal.

Man Shot In The Head At Reflecting Pool On The Mall Near Lincoln Memorial In DC – Helicopter Airlifts Victim

At around 7:25 p.m. on Monday a man was found by police with a bullet in his head in the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC.

Bystanders captured video of a helicopter landing at the Lincoln Memorial to airlift the man.

Raheem Kassam retweeted the video.

The Sun reported that it appears to be self-inflicted according to police.

The victim’s condition is still unknown after he was airlifted to the Westington Hospital Center.

Video caught by eyewitnesses shows a helicopter landing at the eastern edge of the pool, nearest the Lincoln Memorial, as bystanders stood watch.

Authorities are then seen using flashlights to search through the pool’s water as a stretcher was pulled out to reportedly retrieve a body.

This is very strange.

More on this to come.
