Pharmacy Guild boss says masks and boosters will be a reality for 'a long time'
Trent Twomey said if 'data' says so, boosters could be needed every 6 months
Booster shortage partly caused by demand for jabs so people can 'party' on NYE
==============================================================================
A leading Australian pharmacist says measures such as wearing masks and getting six-monthly Covid-19 vaccinations could be a reality for many years.
Trent Twomey, National President of the Pharmacy Guild, says if modelling shows that its best for people to get a Covid jab 'every six months', then Australians should do so.
He dismissed concerns over lingering vaccine hesitancy and wearing masks, saying Australians 'just need to accept' necessary measures because 'it's pretty simple'.
Mr Twomey told Sky News he believes most Australians 'want to do the right thing' but that they were anxious to know what 'normal' life in the pandemic era looks like.
He predicted the need to wear a mask could remain 'for a long time', but that it’s 'not that inconvenient'.
'I think booster shots, just like your annual influenza shot [are] something we just need to accept, its [Covid-19] not going to be with us for many weeks and months, it’s going to be with us for many years.'
He said in order to remain 'fully vaccinated' people will have to get 'a periodic inoculation'.

Why would anyone want a shot, a very little tested shot that still allows you to catch AND transmit the virus it’s supposed to arrest?
OBTW...a virus that has a 99.8% chance
of recovery from. Not to mention side effects from the shot a person may NEVER recover from...why WOULD anyone want that?
Because it give you a much greater chance of avoiding hospitalization or death. Not really that complicated.
I am very confident there are a lot of people who would like that to happen. I'm also pretty confident that it won't...at least not in my state.
Agreed, why take a shot of a 2 yr old vaccine developed for the original virus strain and acknowledged that it just doesn't work. Or the booster of the same swill which doesn't work? Especially after they now spout that the newest strain does not respond to the old shots and 75% of new cases is the new variant as 25% are the older variants.
Seems glaringly obvious that biden pre purchased untold millions of doses which will have to be tossed before they date out. Why would he care, it was all taxpayer funded and 'free' medicine? The pharm kickbacks have to have made for a great Christmas for the politicians and the government medical con-men.
I suspect you are correct. The totalitarian instinct is strong, even in the US and certainly in Europe.
My wife says one can find totalitarian sentiments in a lady's club, and by brother-in-law says he finds it in HOA meetings.
Bwaa haa haa!
How about "no" and "no" ...
I no-longer wear a mask anywhere and I have never been vaccinated for covid and never will be.
Slaves don't want to be free, they want to be masters. Lots of petty suckups get a thrill when lashing out at others.
I had flu shots in the Marine Corps in the 70’s, but none since up until last year when I turned 65.
The flu vaccine you get in any given YEAR is always developed for the previous year’s variant, in the hopes that the body’s immune system will develop enough response to it to preclude getting the new version.
Most years it works well enough to prevent a flu pandemic.....................
Yet every additional shot further weakens your natural immune system. Walk softly brothers and sisters.
No, it doesn't.
At best, the treatment holds off the infection of a two-year old variant for 3-6 months. It does not work at all against the newest ("Omicron") variant.
Basically, the treatment is not working.
Not really that complicated.
The only problem is that is simply not true. It's a LIE! You are MORE likely to be hospitalized not less.
“Most years it works well enough to prevent a flu pandemic.....................”
Or is a flue pandemic actually prevented because most of us have enough immunity from our previous encounters with the flu bugs, and our immune systems’ ability to build on that experience????
Probably a combination of that and other factors..................
Not from the data I’ve seen.
Not from the data I’ve seen.
I’ll take my chances given the possible side effects
Our household has been an interesting controlled experiment for the flu shots.
My wife got them every year for decades.
I did not get them every year for decades.
We are both still here, both had occasional mild cases of the flu from time to time.
My anecdotal conclusion—total wash—no real benefit—no real harm either.
More important conclusion—those who claimed the flu shot was a great idea are full of ^%$#.
Actually, if the Omicron variant of COVID is as it is appearing to be, it could be a way out of this.
Trials?
It’s more likely that there will be genocide on the un-vaxxed.
