    Oh, there definitely is a virus, and it is dangerous.  Problem is,Australia needs EFFECTIVE vaccines, not some semi-placebo that the LNP ispushing because they have a financial interest in its manufacture.From the American Centers for Disease Control:https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2021-05-12/10-COVID-Scobie-508.pdfIn other words, why Australia's "elite" get Pfizer and the LNP governmentcondemns the public, and all the seniors, to AZ.Note that AZ is totally ineffective again some South African variants thatare now in Australia due to fly in/out mining executives with African mineinterests.More details:https://seekingalpha.com/news/3673435-astrazeneca-vaccine-ineffective-against-south-africa-covid-19-varianthttps://cnnphilippines.com/news/2021/3/3/AstraZeneca-COVID-19-vaccine-South-Africa-variant-Philippines.html?fbclid=IwAR0I7Pjryk26e2YOPGQAjY62IJXz2wFMEYIrVmCJ-mCF-V-jEbNz9AN3-_whttps://fortune.com/2021/02/08/astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-ineffective-south-african-variant/https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/02/south-africa-suspends-use-astrazenecas-covid-19-vaccine-after-it-fails-clearly-stophttps://ca.news.yahoo.com/astrazenecas-covid-19-vaccine-no-103036443.html?guccounter=1https://afro.com/south-africa-rejects-astrazeneca-doses-for-covid-19-immunization-drive/https://www.theverge.com/22274371/covid-vaccine-astrazeneca-south-africa-varianthttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/10/south-africa-to-sell-or-swap-astrazeneca-shots-ministerI note Morrison and his cronies were quick to get vaccinated with Pfizer,even before front line health care workers. Wealthy prep school kids getvaccinated with Pfizer, but emergency service workers in NSW are stillwaiting for Pfizer (or better).Australia needs real quarantine facilities and effective vaccines, notnear placebo's supplied by the LNP's mates.My wife and I will continue to wear our N95 masks and eye protection whenwe are out in public, in addition to avoiding crowded locations.  We willNOT be taking the AZ which has too high a probability of seriousdebilitating side effects (reports of which are being suppressed inAustralia).  When real vaccines appear (as in approved by they AmericanCDC at least) then we will get inoculated.  Unfortunately, it looks likethe federal government here will have to change before that can happen.At least the Americans got the science denying superstitious cultists outof office.  After that they were able to roll out a range of possiblevaccines and they continue to make progress on those fronts.
