MORNING BRIEFING: The AMA is backing the NSW Premier in urging people over the age of 50 not to wait for the Pfizer vaccine, while a former police officer is charged with historical sexual assault offences.

The Australian Medical Association has backed the NSW Premier in urging people aged over 50 who are hesitant about getting the AstraZeneca jab not to wait in the hope they can get the Pfizer vaccine instead.

Dr McMullen said while a small proportion of people were still holding out for the Pfizer jab, the majority had been persuaded to get the AstraZeneca vaccine after they learned the potential risk of any clotting problems was "tiny". She told the inquiry it was such a concern she decided it wasn't worth the risk to have another child.

Police allege the 69-year-old man abused two girls unknown to each other in separate incidents between 1975 and 1978.

Fuck that

No need to wait. Will have vax tomorrow. pfizer vax that is. And I’m happy to pay for it. PfizerVaccine auspol nawpol

No need to wait. Will have vax tomorrow. pfizer vax that is.

It’s amazing it’s going to take 2 years to vaccinate a population off 25 million when the Uk did that in 4 months wtf we paid for over 100 million doses were the hell are they !! We need to get on with it

Stop shoving needles in our face

Peak medical body would.... just trumpet LNP mantra since DaveSharma and his LNP mates bought AZ shares and their same mates are forcing Australians to take the lousy one that kinda kills people but they also ordered too much of because DearLeader

The whole thing is ramping up the fear campaign so that everyone rushes out to get the vaccine. People are not as stupid as you all think. The media should be held accountable for this.

Yellow Card report from the UK Column. You do not need to watch it all to get an idea of AZ and Pfizer adverse reactions from both.

toninicho A lot of us don't WANT to wait, but can't get one, or easy access to one

Gonna be a big backlog if ppl wait for a vax which my doctor says is negligible in difference to AZ. I have serious clot history (see bio) & 3 weeks after 1st dose, no side effects

This is to make the pollys look not so stupid for not covering their bases on the better vaccines! And yes I have studied the data since before day one in Australia!!

Iwantwhatscottyhad

I’ll wait for all our very healthy athletes that are getting it first before the Tokyo Olympics. If none of them get a blood clot, then maybe I’ll get it then. I also have a list of every athlete that’s competing. So I’ll think something suspicious if they don’t go.

State media outlet, ABC, propaganda media of the Morrison gov, trying real hard to blame the states for Morrisons BOTCHED vaccine rollout. Yeah ABC, it's BOTCHED. The word you only seem to use when Labor is involved. This is all 💯% the responsibility of Morrison.

What an inhumane body doesn't fit to be called a medical body.

They bought the AZ....and now have to use it. And made over 50's forced to choose it. It's known to clot. But hey! Give it a shot. It's only your life you are losing....

Peak madness

Another case of VITT. 18 yr old was sent home from hospital 3 times, before they realised what it was. This is happening in all age groups. 50s need to be treated the same as 50s were when they were getting VITTS. GIVE 50s CHOICE BETWEEN PFIZER & AZ!

Wife and are waiting for Pfizer, clot took mother in law out so she isn't going to have AZ, i'm not keen on it as well.

I've had one dose of AZ already. Another five weeks to wait for the second dose. I only had to have one Polio vaccination and one Smallpox vaccination to be covered in days gone by. I wish they had made one dose vaccines. So much more acceptable.

The willingness of people to tell others what they *need* to do has been the most fascinating part of this pandemic. Like bro, back the fuck up. You do what you feel is right for you and I'll do what's right for me.

Pfizer doesn't protect against the Indian variant - though it does reduce the severity of symptoms. AstraZeneca is overwhelmingly safe. Ask your doctor. Not morons on Twitter.

The ‘waiting for Pfizer’ people really need to read up on current real world data showing how effective and safe AZ is. Go to your GP if you are concerned. This anti vaccine campaign against AZ is putting Australia at risk.

Peak medical body probably have shares in CSL

But those with multiple health issues over 50, shouldn't there be a right to Pfizer. That is recommendation from family members immunologist for family members situation. Sorry believe family immunologist who knows family member health situation than a peak body person

If federal govt had acted swiftly all could have had pfizaer/moderna

Peak medical body can go F itself!

Go for it lab rats... auspol

Peak government insider trader urges people to use the vaccine he invested in.
