Victoria has recorded an average of almost 18 deaths each day from the virus, up from an average of 15 a day in May.Under changes announced over the weekend, some mask rules will end and visitor caps at residential aged care and disability facilities will be lifted.Health Minister Martin Foley has defended the state government’s decision to further relax mask and vaccination rules despite Victoria recording the highest average daily coronavirus death rate in June.
But head of Monash University’s epidemiological modelling unit, Associate Professor James Trauer, called for more transparency and publicly available data around who is dying after being infected with coronavirus in Australia.“There’s just not enough of a breakdown.
Some epidemiologists have criticised the decision, warning it will further jeopardise the elderly and people with underlying health risks while adding to strain on the health system as the winter flu season continues to bite. Government-imposed third-dose mandates in education, food distribution, meat and seafood processing, and quarantine accommodation sectors will also be lifted.As almost 95 per cent of Victorians aged 12 and older have had two COVID-19 vaccine doses, rules requiring general workers to work from home unless they are double-vaccinated are lifted. Employers can still set their own workplace conditions.
He always looks like his face is melting 😂😂
So what is the vaccination status breakdown on all the recent 'convid' deaths? Are they still releasing those details? Or is it still 'Safe and effective'?
Is he a Dr or Scientist oh no he’s a Politician and standing for the election in Nov. I feel their attitude is let it rip to hell with the Drs, nurses etc who have been pushed to near limit in 2.5yrs, sadly.
❗️MartinFoleyMP I have COVID19 Haven’t left house in WKS! NO interactions with anyone besides partner & child, they test daily! continually test NEG! Yet I have it! Taking masks away when clearly it passes on WITHOUT positive result is INSANE! & Dropping agedcare RESTR❗️NUTS!
Australian Political Class has wiped its hands of Covid Deaths. It has become very easy for politicians of all persuasions to just go 'oh well' but carry on as normal as they want the Economic & Political pain to end. We need as a nation to be accountable & recognize each death.
Unmitigated disgrace. Tone deaf and defies logic particularly in education settings where infection rates are significantly higher and staff and student wellbeing is being significantly impacted upon.
Thank you Martin. Yes enough of this stupid mask bullshit. Let's move on.
Isn't this what everyone wanted FFS? First they call him a dictator and now he's being careless...
Imbecilic.
Highest jabs Highest deaths Oh the irony hahahaha
These Muppets are gone in November!
Absolutely disgusting. Politics over public health. Hundreds dying each week & despite warnings we’re relying on waning vaccines to keep us safe? How many people have to die before the government does something?
Politics over public health. In an election year. Surely not. What a (not so) fun game to embark upon.
AFL being listened to , as crowds down and AFL inc wouldn’t want masks in the crowds !
You’d have thought medical advice would be sensible particularly at airports with overseas arrivals ! Common sense ?
Who are you Still trying to kid? Was the 38th cause of death in 2020, more died from the flu. The PCR tests produce 96+% false positives & the ones that died WITH covid died from a more serious disease. The truths out now 'Age' so about time you revert back & reported the truth!
Politics before health?
Defended? Or explained?
You mean \\/accine injuries or death from the jab.
So much for the efficacy of the Vaccine we were TOLD we had to have. Loss of confidence is the main thing.
This government's been full of $!£ from the start. It's always been about the polls and not the 'health advice' 🤪
Relaxing the rules to prevent the spread of Covid is a HUGE mistake which endangers the lives of many people. It is WINTER, when this virus is known to be rampant. The very least which should be done is to continue making the wearing of masks compulsory, max & quarantine go on.
Is it me or has he a swollen neck? Climate change? Or just good health?
'Because the forcing of the jab period is over'... that is all it was about people, never about health!!
Well it is an election year.
What happened to the tough inflexible vaccination mandates
Victoria is weird.
Like watching a bulldog chew a wasp hearing this kent talk.
Poor form from Foley and co. I usually like our state government’s decisions but they are failing us and health care workers even more now.
It’s not Covid killing people.
Haha Fooley
Why were Vax mandates put in place in the first place, let alone extended when you never even required to be 'up to date'. You could have had only 2 doses since Sep/Oct and still be allowed to work this year despite it having well and truly worn off.
Why would you bet your life on anything these clowns say. Everyone is so divided that there’s only one way it can all go. Welcome to Clown World..
Unbelievable 180 given the last 2 years just goes to show we where all taken for a ride. If they don’t care about the death rate now why did we end up with the title of the ‘worlds most locked down city’!?People wake the f up these f&kers are just abusing us and their power!
Always humours me that a person with as many chins as him is minister for health.
Glad the mandates have ended but in true form for this DanielAndrewsMP MartinFoleyMP government they end in hypocrisy.
This bloke is in no state to be giving health advice - none
We were taken for a ride.
There's still confusion regarding lifting the 3rd dose requirement for teachers etc. Are vaccine requirements for teachers gone or do they still require 2 doses?
Dying with a +ve test result is not the same thing as dying from the virus. 99% of people who die are dying from other things. Now end these idiotic vaccine mandates in healthcare. The efficacy of the 3rd jab disappeared months ago. We are essentially unvaxxed. It’s pointless.
Do whatever you want mate, just don't forget to update your resume before November
Lol proving that the vaccine does not work
Still following the health advice?
Funny what happens in a election year! 🤔
