This is ages can we not talk about this someone close this thread

Let's not debate the actual vaccines here, but let's project the likely outcome of the program and impacts...

Most likely 15% of people in society will remain unvaccinated, there will also be another group of people (5-15%) who will not want to partake in a 6 monthly booster program. Community sport would struggle immensely with potentially loosing a quarter of it's officials/coaches/players/volunteers from the system, it can't be made mandatory.

Are we really so bored without NBL and NBA we are allowing shit posts?

I support the efforts, you don't have to.

If you have a problem with vaccination rules exercise your democratic right through your MPs, lobbying, petitions and lawful protest.

Don't stress junior level sport volunteers who are trying to follow a law, not have a moral debate.

And have unvaccinated kids been banned from playing sport to this point?

Also the current "Vaccines" didn't fit the description of a vaccine, it's an Mrna gene therapy procedure (I'm not saying it's sinister, just making a point), hence they changed the definition of what a vaccine is so these could fit.
There's reasons for 15% of society to remain hesitant until long term safety can be confirmed. Whether you agree with them or not, is it fair to ban kids from playing.

Once the TGA provisionally approves the Vaccines for kids 5+ are we going to make vaccine mandatory for under 10s to play? It's not mandatory to go to school.

No Vaccines are mandatory at schools.

Slow news day.
Last off-season was the same.

Because you seem to defacto claiming some medical expertise there 732, what studies have you seen that prove post viral immunity sufficiently exists to exempt from vaccines given the reinfection rate? Are they peer reviewed? In what grade of journal? How eminent are the authors?

If you don't know that's fine, I claim no expertise but I tend to listen to those who do and can answer those questions when providing evidence

Thanks for the links, will look over. I note that paper in the second link wasn't peer reviewed.

For your interest, the BMJ has some interesting stuff that claims it lasts about 8 months https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n2101 but note t

#781, that's what I'm saying. I am not a doctor, so I follow the directions of Govt Health departments because they use experts.

For those who claim expertise I challenge the source of it. I may look at it. But I follow health advice because my Google does not beat expertise.

And others have a right to not follow it I guess, but all I ask is they don't foist that choice onto junior sports who just follow health directions.

Listen guys I have put this post up because I have a vested interest with my children ballin. I also have my children playing footy. I'm not sure which way junior sport will go. But I hope it opens up without any interruptions moving forward. Good luck to all.

Yep, mandate vaccinations so that people who don't know it’s good for them get the benefit of it. Exceptions for people who have legitimate medical reasons to not be vaccinated.

Even though side effects are rare, and long term risks are most likely ok, you can't blame some people for wanting to be cautious and wait until long term safety studies are confirmed. What about 16-17 year olds who count as adults in the vaccine roll out, do u18s kids need to be vaccinated to play sport? Even if 10% of them don't want it, that means you're denying tens of thousands of kids from playing sport. It's not a simple debate.

Covid Vaccine is not compulsory for public schools. It is not compulsory for many work places but Employers are making vaccination mandatory. BV should keep their nose out of it and let the kids play. There are kids out there reacting and needing months of medications because they thought they were doing the right thing getting vaccinated and now have heart and other medical issues. Leave the kids alone!
