The prime minister has actually said that he won’t be giving the public a date, in which we will open the borders. This country is quite vaccine hesitant. And it’s growing. I was going to get vaccinated when I could get Pfizer. But knowing what I know now, I won’t be taking any vaccine.
What do you know now about the vaccines that changed your mind about them? If I were a woman, I would likely pass on the Johnson and Johnson vaccine because of what's been said in the media about it.
The U.S. wasn't and I think still isn't using the Astrazenica vaccine, but much of Europe is. I hope the media has overblown the negatives about it because several of my family who live in Germany got it....a fair while back. They are doing fine. Thank goodness.
I had the Moderna vaccine with no side effects about a month ago. Soon, like in a week or so, Oregonians will be able to go maskless and it will be business as usual with almost all restrictions removed. I'm excited to be able to go to the gym again and I have almost no fear about getting COVID.
I suspect your Prime Minister, Scott Morrison's thinking is that if he can keep Australians isolated from the rest of the world you will avoid a major outbreak of COVID. That's well and good, but you can't stay apart from the rest of the world indefinitely. If and when travel has opened up, Australians will likely be more prone contracting COVID having done very little to develop immunity to it. Instead of having herd immunity, you'll have herd vulnerability.
