The infected Brisbane hospital receptionist who tested positive for COVID-19 before a snap lockdown was called was offered the vaccination, but Health Minister Yvette D’Ath says she did not “take the option up”.
When asked why an unvaccinated worker was allowed to work outside the COVID ward, Ms D’Ath told ABC Radio the issue was being investigated.
She obviously took the vacation option instead.
Have they said how she got it yet? How did it get out of the ward? Who past it onto her?
This is definitely Dan Andrews and Scott Morrisons fault, just ask Karl Stefanovic and every other pathetic point scoring journo’ ! I know some blokes who, over the last few days drove from Townsville, Brisbane Goulbourn to Melbourne and not checked….!!
Why would she? It doesn’t stop her transmitting the damn thing for Christ sake!! Would the headline really be any different if it read ‘infected Brisbane hospital receptionist was vaccinated?’ Enough of this rubbish.
Stop playing geopolitics and source the superior Russian vaccine
She should be made unemployed - give her plenty of options in the future.
It's called having free choice of whether you want a vaccine or not. It's individual choice.
let me get this right. QLD cases due to unvaxxed health worker and NT cases due to healthy domestic traveller picking up Covid IN QLD’s hotel quarantine bc after 18mths QLD doesn’t have a functioning, safe HQ system. And the knee jerk response is to try punish strandedaussies?
So the guy who flies backwards and forwards to Indonesia without the vaccine with morrisons blessing and gives it to a child isn’t a problem. Yep! You go after the kid. coalitionmouthpiece
The nutter
Stop asking casual workers to pay for this by possibly having to take time off, I reckon
Entirely Labor Q’land Government’s fault
Bloody federal government
BECAUSE IT'S VOLUNTARY AND EXPERIMENTAL
What a surprise. Give their CHO the opportunity to spread a little more vaccine hesitancy and Queensland will find itself an isolated rump in the middle of nowhere that no one cares about travelling to. Well done Premier!
Anastasia had shot the sheriff live on tv! Hilarious! “Do not follow the advice of Scott Morrison!”. Under 40s AZ was NOT agreed by the state premiers. Pfizer will run out in QLD because Scott Morrison can’t supply more. Scomo’s reputation is shot to prices!
Idiots. Everywhere.
So the other case must have been vaxd since there was so much talk about the hospital worker not being vaxd. Isn’t that the most startling part of this story? Why are so many vaxd people getting the virus?
Do not blame one patient. It could have been anyone.
It should be a condition of employment in a hospital that you have the vaccine
So she’s working with sick and vulnerable people and happy to spread the virus to them which could kill them? Selfish c*t
No vacs no work in or near essential services. Take it or leave it. Criminalise breaches
That's it, demonise the individual rather than the actual problem. The Age = Daily Mail Lite VictorianVultures
This is irresponsible journalism.
Grrrrrrr Is this a joke to these people
Here's a dumb straight to the point question. Are all the doctors in Brisbane hospital vaccinated? If so, why some staff or people who work there haven't been vaccinated?
So what - that’s her choice - why was she rostered on outside the covid ward? Who was her supervisor and why didn’t he/she do something about it? She’s 19 for crying out loud where were the hospitals management in all of this
Those who are fully vaccinated should not be subject to restrictions.
She may have been offered it, but still very difficult to get your appointment. This women should not be blamed, the roll out has been trying, and again, if you can still get the virus while vaccinated, what incentive are you giving the population to get it
qldtrials
Let’s blame it all on one person who didn’t want to get an experimental untested medical procedure. Great work for being absolute fascists. You would have been great publication to help the nazis out in 1930/40s.
Incidents typically only happen when there are repeated ‘near misses’. How many other folks In close contact with covid infections haven’t taken the option? Failure of leadership to leave the person In the position.
Mandating vaccinations is challenging. However maybe don't leave the unvaccinated ones near the covid ward
Were they also offered a fit-tested N95?
Two words come to mind 'Stupid' and 'Unemployed'
Selfish
Which is why it needs to be mandatory in all healthcare places
