But don't you understand?
The fact that most governments can't organise to fix a pot hole in a timely fashion was just a cunning ruse over the last hundred years to lull the population into a false sense that governments couldn't organise a fawk in a brothel........then strike and take over the world

Exactly

Everyone needs to get used to it... one of my conspiracy mates was forced by work to get his shot... he was going to see lawyers and Shit last I heard...

Lawyers are circling around this and clamoring to be involved in the first test case so will be an interesting couple of months. There are some pretty clear conditions for employers to implement

I can’t see anyone wanting to fight this ?
At present there are certain rules some companies enforce before you can turn up to work……like hospitals and nursing homes, you have to have a current flu shot, so I see this as no different.
It will become the new norm, and the quicker it happens the less time those in opposition will have to complain or mount a defence against it.

We're both booked in for our second AZ next Sunday.

Mark will have his first AZ on the same day.
He's decided it's better to get AZ now than wait who knows how long for Pfizer to become available for his age group.

2nd AZ jab last Thursday...
Everything aok til yesterday, (MON) ... 5 days later...
Suddenly I began to feel crazy tired and like someone had roofied me ...
(Wasn't sure if I was having a stroke or otherwise fading away.... ).   Very unpleasant experience....
4 hours later, bang - I had my mind back, thank God...

I had the first jab today.

Had a bad reaction.

I was driving home and my vision was blurred, could barely see the road.

I stopped on the side of the road and rang the vax clinic and asked if I should ring an ambulance or something, and they said don't do that. Come back to the clinic straight away, you have left your glasses here.

Agree and no arguments from me. I know of two people who are anti-vaxxers the same as others here have indicated and knowing their personalities they will take it as high as they can legally go if they are dismissed because of not having the vaccine.

Each to their own.  Perhaps they can go and relieve the nurses in some of the COVID wards in hospital in Sydney for a couple of nights.

The Bride and I had our first Pfizar shot yesterday at midday. 

The Bride went first and when I finally get mine, go out to wait the desired observation time the Bride is having reactions.   I am called and asked how I am feeling, "yep no worries" and told I can go.   Said she not feeling well.   Thankfully she said in the waiting area.   Anyhow the nurse took her back into to se the Drs.   Yep having an allergic reaction to the Vaccine.   Tingling and pain to jar and tongue and hot flush.   Given antihistamine and observed for another 30 minutes.   

After a Nana nap she felt okay yesterday evening.   Today she is feeling 'flat' but okay.   See how she goes the next couple of days.
Cheers

Wow. Not good.
Hope she doesn’t have any ongoing issues mate.

Daughter has a double dose of Pfizer, wife a double dose of AZ, and my second AZ jab is due in two days.  Glad to have a (nearly) fully vaxed household.  ;D

From a couple of people I’ve talked to from USA, even though they are having a booster shot ( it’s the same as the other doses ), their antibody levels are still good.
As for a few others that I’ve talked to, their antibody levels are still almost zero, after 2 shots of Pfizer….because they have had chemo previously for cancer, and they are having a booster shot in the hope that more is better ??
