COVID-19

Hopefully the first of many similar rulings

Disappointed to see that, but fingers crossed the Aussies don't get another similar pandemic. It's certainly a reasonable condition of employment for people with a duty to public service who come into contact with vulnerable people.

Even if the vaccine does not prevent transmission?

Interesting hypothetical question. In those circumstances the same principle wouldn't apply, I agree.

Those were the circumstances

Plenty mention of ineffectiveness of prevention of onward transmission in that very article. No reduction in viral load shed between vaxed and un-vaxed. The only mechanism by which transmission could be reduced is if the vaccine prevents infection. Does/did it?

Even the CDC concluded that effect would be "modest and short-lived"

I wonder if it would have affected the public's perception if that finding had been made public before the vaccine rollout?

Yes, it does / did. A "modest" effect that saves lives is certainly worth enforcing.

Sponsored by Pfizer

The least you can expect from the pharmaceutical industry is that they'll contribute to research on the efficacy and safety of their products, so I'm pleased to hear it. Did they sponsor the first piece I linked, which shows unequivocally that the vaccines reduce transmission? If they did, how exactly did they interfere with the results?

One minute parliamentarians are almost all incompetent or corrupt, the next minute they're the most authoritative voice on medical matters on the planet.

BTW, where are we up to with serious adverse reactions: 0.001%?

[Thenop]

Here, we report on a 62-year-old male hypervaccinated individual from Magdeburg, Germany (HIM), who deliberately and for private reasons received 217 vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 within a period of 29 months

Not a recommendation, but it appears he suffered no harmful effects either.
