Too bad there's no vaccine for stupidity.

Here's another Australian Premier (QLD) Annastacia Palaszczuk that would do well to get the stupidity vaccine if one is invented.

“For some industries, it may have to be (mandatory). I think the federal government will address …. that because they are the most vulnerable.

“If someone had it, and went into an aged care facility, if they had the UK strain, it would go right through.”

First point, presumably the residents have had the vaccine - so if it works as well as claimed then there's nothing to worry about.

Secondly, the vaccines, as we've said, don't prevent a person catching the virus - they just reduce the symptoms. So even if all the workers are given the vaccine, they can, presumably, still transmit it.

I'm not against people getting the vaccine - if they want it - but forcing people to take some biological agent cooked up by scientists to prevent a disease which may well have been cooked up by scientists - that's another frightening high-tide mark in the state's intrusion into our private lives.
