TGA does a weekly update of reported side effects and also has a database of adverse event notification
All relevant links on its site, which concentrates on the more serious adverse health effects
Not sure I need stuff floating around my nervous system. It’s screwed up enough already.
The above (possibly the translation, possibly what was actually said) was not intended to be a factual statement.
The translation is accurate, and it’s a fairly fact-free statement from them.

Can we really say we gave it enough resources and time to see if it could work? It seemed to work in the Kensington towers. Imagine the police resources used for the protests, repurposed to lockdown enforcement in the high case suburbs. We may have prevented some of the protests from occurring. I guess we will never know but it does seem to be 1 noticeable difference between the NSW and Vic measures. It would be interesting to see analysis of what worked in Sydney. If it’s purely Vax % we should be close to the same level when their cases started to drop.
everyone was at the beach…
Not true
Well, I mean, the muscle contains nerves so either way there’s some interaction with the nervous system. But not in the way you have described.
He might’ve misremembered and is talking about accidental intravenous injection opposed to the intramuscular desired injection. That’s legit especially considering a lot of people giving the injections aren’t registered nurses and won’t be aspirating the needle to eliminate accidental intravenous injection.
EDIT: There’s research papers on it etc

Vic Govt got a big hit from the Ombudsman for its initial handling of the Towers.
There has not been evidence of protesters coming from concentrated locations or that they are connected to any ethnic or socio economic group - indeed, most of the pics were of European ethnic background.
The pictures of police - some in close to full riot gear - grappling with protesters ( and one policeman being charged in relation to one protester) have been exploited globally by right wing extremists and the ‘freedom’ marchers to depict Victoria as a police state and as denying its residents their civil liberties.
So many of the exposure sites in metro are child care, schools and retail food (some plants and warehousing), construction and mobility of construction workers, including younger workers only recently eligible for vax in short supply.
Some of these issues have been addressed, with tighter compliance, mandatory vax , more vax supply and younger eligibility for vax etc.
They will time to work their way through.

I once had to be the jabber of my mother in an emergency. She guided me on filling the syringe, the angle and where to jab in the upper arm, but we were both so tensed up, it was probably the most painful jab ever ( even if it worked):

Living in Sydney I think the best thing they did was the compulsory regular testing for people living and working in LGAs of concern. For example my workplace is in an area of concern and I couldn’t attend my office without a Covid check and a permit. By doing this they were restricting the unnecessary movement of workers in and out of those areas.
Whilst onerous on both the individual and the employer it has contributed in slowing the spread in work places.

TGA approval for self administered RAT is going to make a huge difference.
Compliance - including employer enforcement - with mandatory testing at work sites may have been an issue and an explanation of seeding into other LGAs

Would you know if you got IVd by mistake? Like you’d bleed or something.
WA already has mandatory vax for all health workers - ahead of most other States until recently - and signalled it would be extended to port workers ( reflecting rostered crew for bulk cargo and the relatively high numbers of foreign crew that come onshore for Covid care) .
It has also had tight controls on FIFO workers, including testing, quarantine for those moving north for work ( affording protection to remote communities and others where hospitals have limited capacity).
But WA rarely gets recognised for the measures in place which have served to prevent outbreaks.

I’m not sure. Not a health practitioner. More bleeding should be an indication of a particularly bad one you’d imagine.
