Unvaccinated Australians Will Be Barred From Major Sporting Events

Australians will soon need to have proof of full vaccination to visit major sporting venues as state premiers prepare the ground for the introduction of vaccine passports. The Premier of New South Wales said in a press conference on Monday: “Any incentives we can provide to encourage people to get vaccinated and stick to the health restrictions, that is our priority.” Mail Australia has the story.

Plans are already underway to make vaccine passports mandatory in New South Wales while a similar approach is being considered in Victoria.

Fans will need to have both Covid jabs to visit a stadium and watch big sporting events like the NRL, AFL, or cricket.

Venues NSW Chairman Tony Shepherd will put forward his proposal to the State Government in the next few weeks and hopes they will be approved by next year. 

“If you choose not to have the jab that is your civil right in a free country but the Delta strain is extremely transmissible and we need to do something to reopen our stadiums,” he told the Daily Telegraph

“The venues will have to say you can’t attend. Simple as that.” …

[Victoria] Premier Daniel Andrews said at a press conference on July 21st that officials would make an “informed discussion” about reopening games to vaccinated residents.

“[The vaccine] will be here September, October, November… then I think we can have an informed discussion and say: ‘Right, we’re at X%, here’s all the benefits that might flow from that’,” he said. 

The Premier said vaccinated fans being able to attend games would be part of a wider attempt to incentivise people to get the jab.

I agree – I’ve totally lost interest in sport. Huge sports fan for years but the bollocks of the last 18 months in particular has killed it for me. I literally forgot the Olympics were happening and have no idea who won what in any of it.

I read today an article in Wirtschaftswoche (a German economic magazine) in which a “rhetoric expert” advised readers (no doubt managers, politicians, and who else belongs to their enlightened audience) how they should argue when someone claims that a “mandatory vaccination is introduced through the back door”.

The gist of his expertly advice was to try to convince the “opponent” that they have brought the disaster upon themselves and that they are not being “ostracized” at all, but rather “made their choice to isolate themselves from society”.

Yes, really.

As they cannot test for the Delta strain because there isn’t a test then where is the proof it exists?

Full on fascism in Australia now. I believe it has been established that the vaccines currently available do not protect people from contracting Covid-19, merely protecting against hospitalisations and deaths. That being the case, they do nothing to prevent transmission, rendering it a matter of indifference to the wider public whether or not an individual has been vaccinated or not.

not protecting against hospitalisations in this study

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm?s_cid=mm7031e2_w

jury still out on deaths (no-one died in vaxxed or unvaxxed group)

But vaccine is touted as making your symptoms lowered to the level you don’t know you have it (but can still spread it).

This makes zero sense to be privileging the silent spreaders, the only people who could claim to be safest are those who have caught and recovered from covid as they are vanishingly likely to catch it again compared to the jabbed.

SweetBabyCheeses

For sure it’s the logical conclusion. I still don’t like it though as it emphasises:

1. That asymptomatic transmission exists when I’m really not sure it was a thing before.
2. That constant testing is in fact that necessary to find out who has “it”.
3. Other pointless NPIs are needed still such as masks again in USA.

I preferred the days when we could pretend that the snake oil was “95% effective” (even though the trial was trash) as at least the covidians temporarily conceded that we might be allowed our freedoms back 😡

hilarynw

Just as we argued against asymptomatic spread because if one didn’t have symptoms then one didn’t have enough viral load to spread anything, I wonder what is going on with the jabbed having no symptoms but spreading? Are they living with a false sense of security – because they are jabbed, dismissing any symptoms precisely because they believe they are protected? As an unjabbed, I tend to be acutely aware of how I feel throughout the day. I know this is maybe ridiculous and unnecessary but it takes a better person than me not to have some of the past 18 months affect me.

I would really like to know what is going on but as science has become so biased and agenda-driven, I doubt we will ever know. It will be deeply inconvenient for ‘them’ if these vaccines turn out to have no effect on spread at all.

The reason hospitalisations and deaths are low is because it is summer, not because Delta is now harmless.

It probably is considerably less lethal than Wuhan strain, but the bulk of the effect you’re seeing is seasonality.

The vax doesn’t stop you catching covid, nor passing it on. That much is agreed, yes?

So what are they going to do, when, having made it the rule that only vaxxed people can go to big sporting events, there are still cases of people catching the coof at those events?

Won’t be able to blame the unjabbed, as they won’t be there. Will they go for a new variant?

they blamed the natural falls in previous waves on lockdown without evidence

they claim the lack of deaths in the current wave is due to vaccines without evidence

the delta variant seems mild

they can’t cover it up forever or papers like this wouldn’t get out

You may be right.

And yet time and again during this crisis, the crazy notions of our rulers (that is what they are now) have been contradicted by empirical data and uncontestable day to day experience. And what has happened each time? They’ve pushed out even more propaganda, ignored all contrary evidence and just stream-rolled ahead.

They just won’t stop.

An internal email seen by the Guardian warned of 170,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine at risk of expiry within the next fortnight, as doctors across England have raised alarm at the unpredictability of vaccine take-up among young people meaning more doses will go to waste.

They’re not being unpredictable. They just don’t want the vaccine.

The problem lies entirely with government, in that they bought vastly more doses of vaccine than the UK needed, and then proceeded to try to use them all up by vaccinating everyone and their dog, no matter the benefit that they’d offer.

There is now compelling evidence that the vaccines have significant levels of side effect, that their protection from covid is short lived and that the risk of ADE hasn’t been ruled out. I’m not surprised that the youngsters are turning their backs on the vaccine.

Was at the Emirates stadium (Arsenal FC) for a game with about 3/5th attendance so 30-35K people and literally saw ONE person in the stands wearing a mask. Result!! Better than the actual score line as we lost 1-2 but still good news.
This is in contrast to Spurs where they will insist on full on Nazi checkpoints to prove your vaccine status blah blah blah. Not point scoring here but just what you would expect from such a bunch of cunts. The management that is. Spurs fans are human just like us Gooners, with a few exceptions obviously.

When they have everyone in respirators, locked down, triple jabbed and people are dying in droves, I wonder what will be given as the reason?
The stupid sheep will lap it up, slaughter the few un-vaxed or unmasked and be pleased with themselves. When everyone left is compliant but still dying they will blame each other and start killing their neighbors because of a rumour that they took their mask off in the garden. Assuming we’re not all starving by then.
