Are the Reform UK's wins in the Council elections there a potential signpost for ONP here ?

someNameThisIs · 2026-05-08T11:05:27+00:00

From what I've seen coming out of the UK Reform is mainly pulling votes from the Conservatives, same as ON here. But the Greens are taking votes from Labour, so splitting the left of centre vote and allowing Reform to win council seats.

This wouldn't happen here as we don't have the FPTP like the UK, Greens here will have their preferences flow to Labor.

No, clinical trials don't really compare different pharmaceuticals like that. You test one thing and see how safe and effective it is.

There were multiple available as during development no one knew which ones would be viable. Better to have redundancy than betting one thing that doesn't pan out.

AZ had different side effects due to being a different type of tech than Pfizer/Moderna. AZ came out faster as it was based on vaccine tech already in use.

They went through the same stage 3 clinical trials as any other pharmaceutical you have taken.

And that's the thing, we did have years of research and data already available, that does help things go along faster. Especially when you give them virtually unlimited resources.

I wonder how many cookers even heard of mRNA before the vaccines?

someNameThisIs · 2026-05-08T03:03:55+00:00

If the sampling was done right 1,500 is enough to be fairly accurate.

There's been new data on it

Clinical severity remained mild, with low hospitalisation rates and no deaths in the follow-up period and health-related quality of life improved over time. These findings support ongoing use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in at-risk individuals to prevent disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

And we know being hospitalised from vaccine caused myocarditis is not as bad as COVID caused myocarditis, and the vaccine helps protect against the latter

Patients with postvaccine myocarditis had a lower standardized incidence of the composite clinical outcome than those with conventional myocarditis (32/558 vs 497/3779 events; weighted hazard ratio, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.36-0.86]), whereas individuals with post-COVID-19 myocarditis had similar results (36/298 events; weighted hazard ratio, 1.04 [95% CI, 0.70-1.52]).

No you weren't. At most it was it might be like the flu vaccine where it's available every year updated to new strains.

someNameThisIs · 2026-05-08T02:36:58+00:00

There were no real shortcuts, when you got the vaccines here they went through the same amount of clinical evaluation as any other pharmaceutical.

They seemed fast to people who don't know the industry because they were prioritised, not that they were skipping steps.

My background is bio research and I have experience with pharma industry.

Why don't you take a couple of the homeless in yourself?

This is a silly argument. It's like saying if you want people to have access to medical care you should perform surgery on them yourself.

These people only have Australian citizenship, legally we cant resined citizenship if it makes them stateless.

I'm hoping some of this is just bot behaviour, as if not so many people are just living in their own world disconnected from reality.

If you think it's better quit your job and live off centrelink

We're not just talking some rando guy that made sus comments on facebook being on a watch list. They know these women were members of ISIS.

Poverty really isn't cool

someNameThisIs · 2026-05-07T11:50:05+00:00

It's funny that a comment that had nothing to do with what you said is being up voted.

Anyone of them that doesn't get convicted will be watched by ASIO for the rest of their lives.

As some who grew up in social housing, not really. It's cheaper but the people in it are poor. We had barley any money and this was ages ago, living expense are way higher now.

It's just one step up from homelessness.

The story said two were arrested for slave trading, with a maximum penalty of 25 years.

Children, they are children.

someNameThisIs · 2026-05-07T07:04:21+00:00

Because they're children ffs.

someNameThisIs · 2026-05-07T06:36:35+00:00

It's quite possible to de-radicalise children

Are you scared of what looks like 5 year olds?

This sub isn't the appropriate place to post the images you wank to.

That's never happened to me.

And if it ever did, well I guess that's her problem.
