"Thank you" America for giving everyone so much freedom which caused over 550,000 deaths so far. Big "thank you". Bravo Australia! You guys have done an outstanding job with this pandemic! I wish we all had a government like yours. All I want to do is cry really.
I am in Australia (Brisbane) and had my first AZ shot about 2 weeks ago. 24 hours later I felt terrible - almost all the symptoms suggested in the literature. The side effects lasted less than a day, by then I felt fine. Well worth it, though.
All Australians seem to be so smart and likable! I’m so glad your excellent public health program seems to have confined the spread from this case. The Australian contact-tracing programs should be adopted by my country, US, in fact every aspect of its pandemic response should be adopted. American government arrogance, lack of compassion and incompetence has resulted in nearly 600,000 deaths here, not to mention greatly contributing to the worldwide spread of this virus, which can’t be quantified, but must be enormous.
We were very lucky that all the states here eventually followed the New Zealand model: initial hard lockdown, strict 14 day hotel quarantine for all international/interstate arrivals, mandatory testing, and digital contact tracing system. Hence, zero community transmissions. Once it's out in the community, It's harder to control. We had an out of control spread in Victoria for a while, so needed to have an extended lockdown until the digital contact tracing system was in place. Luckily, things are better now. Hope things improve in the US.
@@michaelfrank5239 they have, but the leadership at the top is sub par. We got lucky. Smoco was telling everyone to go to the footy live in the middle of the peak. He wanted all states to allow access to Victorians during their peak. It goes on

One of the factors that's been overlooked in the current India situation is a propensity for pre-diabetic and diabetic conditions in the younger population that exceeds the average in the west.

@@Mis-AdventureCH And now account for the underreporting and a less developed health and infrastructure system. When "rural" USA like El Paso/Texas were overrun, they flew patients nonstop to the metro areas who still had capacity. Kind of stark contrast to two guys carrying a sick one on horse as there are no roads. Unable to find the video. I know rural India will struggle with *any* case, but I don't know how they're doing as most cover the big cities. Underreporting is 5x-10x by estimates, but impossible to verify. That puts India where US was during winter peak, with Indias peak expected to hit mid May (by prognosis): covid19.healthdata.org/india?view=daily-deaths&tab=trend We have no data (in that chart) on their bed or ICU coverage, and also no data on excessive deaths. Variants are "well" known, B.1.1.7 (UK) and B.1.617 (Indian double variant). There is a new triple variant but not much data on it yet and not dominant (yet anyway). Likely not "more lethal" per case, but much more transmissible making more people sick, causing people who could have been saved to succumb, leading to far more deaths. When this blows over globally we'll get a final estimate. And it's not going to be the "pretty" numbers we see now. Flu+pneumonia deaths are estimates - we're undercounting data as they come in.
As an over 50 Australian I note we have purchased 10m Pfizer now and another 50m in September. Given containment I’m happy to wait till September and get a 94% efficiency vaccine rather than a 74% efficient vaccine. Should COVID get into the community before September it would be regionally contained and if my region I would get the lower efficiency vaccine. There is much chatter about side effects. for me and many others it about quality (efficiency)
Here's a published article in Medicina about efficacy: Medicina article: Outcome Reporting Bias in COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Clinical Trials By Dr Ron Brown www.mdpi.com/1648-9144/57/3/199 "Abstract : Relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction measures in the evaluation of clinical trial data are poorly understood by health professionals and the public. The absence of reported absolute risk reduction in COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials can lead to outcome reporting bias that affects the interpretation of vaccine efficacy. The present article uses clinical epidemiologic tools to critically appraise reports of efficacy in Pfzier/BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine clinical trials. Based on data reported by the manufacturer for Pfzier/BioNTech vaccine BNT162b2, this critical appraisal shows: relative risk reduction, 95.1%; 95% CI, 90.0% to 97.6%; p = 0.016; absolute risk reduction, 0.7%; 95% CI, 0.59% to 0.83%; p < 0.000. For the Moderna vaccine mRNA-1273, the appraisal shows: relative risk reduction, 94.1%; 95% CI, 89.1% to 96.8%; p = 0.004; absolute risk reduction, 1.1%; 95% CI, 0.97% to 1.32%; p < 0.000. Unreported absolute risk reduction measures of 0.7% and 1.1% for the Pfzier/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, respectively, are very much lower than the reported relative risk reduction measures. Reporting absolute risk reduction measures is essential to prevent outcome reporting bias in evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine efficacy. "
Laughed at the comments about finding Aussies everywhere. When I travel, I always see them. I jokingly say that Australia has a law REQUIRING its citizens to leave the country on a regular basis.
Two great jolly doctors. pleasure listening to your useful debate. Than you! May God bless the people of India who are having a terrible time with COVID-19 right now.
Having family in Ausy I find this video interesting and both Docs show their concerns for their countries and the world in general. All those Dr John speaks to show us all how we should have the highest regard for medical staff across the world.
Where I am in the Carribbean ( medical system would not cope ) does / has been doing the same as Oz. With respect to border closure, quarantine entry & testing. Sanitizing hands & details recorded upon entering premesis. Vaccine drive going since ~ February thanks to supply from 🇮🇳. Really hope they can turn things around.
Australia and NZ are praised for their authoritarian response to covid but if you look at the entire Oceanic region the picture is exactly the same everywhere including the likes of Japan and Taiwan who had no lockdown.
I had my second Moderna shot yesterday and feel so tired and achy, I doubt if I’ll get anything done today (except napping), but certainly not exercise. I have a bad headache, but am refraining from taking acetaminophen, as discussed on this channel, and am just toughing it out. After this video, I’ll lie down and listen to a book.
You going lie down and "LISTEN" to a book is that the new now of reading a book. But i'm sure you will make another 10 comments about your world of so called vaccines and doom & gloom.
There were two cases of community transmission in Perth after that guy that was infected in the quarantine hotel got out for those five days. One case was a lady friend he visited and another case was a guy that was sitting in the same restaurant where the "Melbourne" guy was present at the same time. The guy was called the Melbourne guy because after those 5 days he went back to Melbourne.
Australia here. This pandemic for us is turning out a bit like the ‘global financial crisis’ something that effected everyone else, do not understand really what’s so different about us.
Financial crisis - we had a left-leaning Federal government and the stimulus went to ordinary people, which, despite the pink batts debacle, was the best way to go. COVID - the Federal government is right wing and about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. Much of the responsibility for responding to COVID has fallen to the states and they've got their acts together. In both cases, it doesn't hurt that we are on an island.
All Countries can LEARN from the Strict Australian Rules .... to get better results in keeping people safe now + for any future pandemics that may arise Absolutely.. So Well done Australia we salute you ;)
30 years ago my first girlfriend told me to wear this condom so she would not get pregnant, well it worked she never had kids so can I take this bloody thing off now?
Possibility as of midnight tonight (Australian time Saturday) it will become a criminal offence to travel into Australia from a "red zone". This came about by a number of persons using a loophole to travel from India via Doha,Qatar. This has & will affect Aussies living in India trying to get back home, but.... If we not harsh & callous, Covid will come knocking.
Australians were advised to return home in early 2020. If they've waited this long, I feel they are just trying to escape what has become a bad situation where they now live.
As an Australian, I am concerned about the number of nearby countries with out of control infection, and the accompanying risk of more parlous variants arising. Add to this the dual delayed and slow rollout of vaccines, and we have a risky situation for at the least a spike in community covid infection, and at the worst, an out of control outbreak of a more dangerous variant here in Australia. There is no place for complacency anywhere with this nasty virus.
Australia (and New Zealand) politicians have bitten the bullet and demonstrated how to deal with the pandemic from the outset. Meanwhile UK and Europe still dithers, we are slow to shut borders and implement effective quarantines.

Dr. Campbell, I like listening to your podcast and your Australian counterpart doctor. The pandemic doesn’t seem to be ending soon. Do you think the entire population needs to be vaccinated first to control the spread of the mutating virus, ban travels temporarily. What are your thoughts?
R0 with no shutdown was 2.5. For the pandemic to be over, we need R0 to be 1.0 or less. To get R0 from 2.5 to 1.0 we need to 1.5 out of 2.5 to be immune. If the vaccines were 100% effective, then we’d need to vaccinate 60% of the population. If the vaccines are 80% effect at stopping the spread of the virus, then we’d need to vaccinate 75% of the population. We don’t yet know exactly how effective all the vaccines are at reducing the spread of the virus, and getting R0 below 1.0 is better than exactly 1.0. Therefore 80% would be the bare minimum, and 90% would be significantly better. It would be optional to require vaccination for access to anywhere where someone might infect others like airports, movie theaters, grocery stores and everywhere else where strangers come into contact with each other until the virus is eliminated.
Surprising how well Queenland has done, lot of people moving up from Victoria and NSW expect to see more migration from NZ soon too. Price of homes and used cars has gone up as a result and trafic congestion has increased.
Yes, it's getting crowded up here. I hope this doesn't bring the southern problems to this area by way of population increase. The safest places in Australia seem to be small country towns. I wish I could make a tree change.
I agree, prof Spector is incredibly premature. This pandemic is not over. Either in the world, or in the Uk. I was very disappointed in his declaration. I disagree with quite a lot of his analysis recently as it goes - his dismissal of Vit D being one of the issues I struggle to understand his rationale for his viewpoint
@@warrenklein7817 The reason I have seen given for the "stop" of the Spanish flu pandemic is that those that were infected either died or developed immunity. I'm glad we have a third choice: getting a vaccine.
@@bootburner4544 From the article you linked: "The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. " In other words, first, the person had the influenza virus infection, then they contracted bacterial pneumonia, unfortunately before the use of antibiotics for pneumonia. Bacterial pneumonia is deadly without treatment and occurs frequently with or after a viral pneumonia infection.
There are very strong viral fragments in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. They suspect that travellers who were on the plane from Perth have become positive to the virus now. Testing has stepped up in that area.
It helps that Australia is only 40th in the world in number of international visitors. Additionally a big chunk of those 8 million annual arrivals are from NZ.
Lessons from the Land of OZ (Australia): 1) Early restrictions on international flights from COVID-19 hotspots. 2) Formation of a proactive National Cabinet to work cooperatively between the Federal Government and the 8 State and Territory Governments. 3) Political parties and mainstream media initially avoided the usual politicisation of events, leading to a more unified and informed approach to fighting COVID-19. Much less bickering to distract from what needed to be done. 4) Early introduction of Quarantine procedures and facilities for travellers entering OZ.. 5) Very effective Testing, Contact Tracing and Isolation procedures (with supporting apps and other technologies). 6) Well resourced and well run Hospital systems and Emergency Services (all these are controlled by the State and Territory Governments). 7) Comparatively quick introduction of government (Federal and State) policies to provide financial support to individuals and businesses impacted by COVID-19. 8) Cautious approach (sometimes overly cautious) to locking down States and Localities where there has been community transmission of COVID-19. 9) Being a large island with one of the lowest population densities (even though the bulk of the population reside around 8 major cities that are mostly near the coast). New Zealand (NZ) largely used the same approach as OZ except that there is no State level of government, making it a bit easier for the NZ National Government to implement and coordinate policies and procedures to fight COVID-19. Thank you Dr John (and Dr Nigel) for providing so much up-to-date information about COVID-19. Your Channel is a breath of fresh air, providing such a wealth of knowledge and facts. There are far too many other people on mainstream and social media who express "opinions" that are not based on knowledge and facts, but based more on political bias. 😷😓🤒😀🥰
I think the Paramedics and hospital staff all over Australia would challenge you on number 6. We are not resourced to handle what we have in a closed borders Australia at present. I hope we get our act together on resourcing our hospitals before we open the borders - we seem to be only interested in how much the value of our homes have increased instead of how our hospitals are terribly under resourced and understaffed and our Paramedics need thousands more colleagues. Lets hope the government can work as efficiently fixing them before we open up...
"Early restrictions on international flights from COVID-19 hotspots." We didn't do that that early, America I think did it the day before we did. We waited till they did.

Really enjoy listening to Dr farrier, big respect to Australia's way of dealing with this pandemic, its kept its citizens safe and has been superior in the fight against covid. Thankyou both for another great talk😊💐xxxx
Another good video. Our UK track and trace programme has been nothing but an expensive disaster. We seem to have used sledgehammers to crack nuts and made a huge mess whereas Australia has been much more focused. In Australia it's hard for people traveling for work or seeing family, expensive too, I know a few people too, but it is hard to argue with the results and they got back to relative normal quite quickly and have all sorts of places open events going on etc. I've heard from a number of doctors in Australia that they want to target / swap vaccines for certain groups due to some of the risks. I'm certainly in the camp of waiting for more data on vaccines.
It's been interesting to see how our Covid app and tracing system have gone from being declared unready, badly made etc etc to being this effective. I honestly think it's the humans behind all the tech that make the calls and do the hardest work that have been our salvation, God bless them.
Second half of video The Matrix breaks, and you can see a lil thru the filter on the "australian doctor" lizard lookalike LOL jp. Extrememly glad you docs cover this info for everyone who watches. Its appreciated.
28 active cases, out of 2,300 people in quarantine here in perth. hotels are not the perfect solution, as they weren't built for the purpose of quarantine, but they're all we've got as, sadly, the federal government decommissioned all our quarantine stations quite some time ago. nevertheless, so far we're doing ok. qr code scanning helps enormously in contact tracing, but it would be awful trying to trace hundreds or thousands of cases. i'm happy that we're only dealing with one or two community cases at a time.

I'm in Australia, "just over 50" and very positive about vaccination. However, several of my friends are in the the 'wait and see' category. Their reason is usually "It's all been developed too quickly and not yet tested throughly". However, this seems to be based on media hype. None of them seemed to know how vaccines are actually tested, or how vaccines for illnesses not as contagious as COVID will often take years to get a big enough sample size of people to give meaningful information.
I saw that Pfizer was tested on 18,000, with placebo of 18,000 over 3 months (I think), which resulted in relative risk benefit efficacy of 95.1%, but worries me the unpublished absolute risk benefit is 0.7%. Would like to see updated figures for all the vaccines with both calculations.
Your friends caution is valid. Wanting a choice of Vaccine is valid for all Australians as is choosing not to have it at all or to wait a little longer for the outcomes of those being used overseas. Myocarditis in Israel using Pfizer or blood clots Astrazenica. world wide. We don't have the risk here until we open the international borders, also caution and choice is sensible. My mother died of thrombocytopenia blood clots after the 2nd dose AstraZenica - its not all cake and honey. You believe whatever you are told or whatever you are allowed to read ... you can also belittle your friends sensible caution as you have done in this posting as uneducated... when you lose someone to the vaccine I don't think you will be "very positive" about the unknown any longer..,.,
@@shantishanti1949 It works both ways. I had a brother who died of diphtheria because people in that era wanted to be sure before vaccinating. My decisions are based on my own analysis of the best fact-based information available, not on stories circulated about individual cases that I would have to accept on unsubstantiated trust of someone who I don't know and whose motivations, experience and expertise are unknown to me.
It's happened again today (Sat 1 May). A security guard from the Pan Pacific hotel has tested positive, as have 2 of his 7 housemates. Back to mask wearing in the Perth and Peel regions. No lockdown yet. There is a big football match on tomorrow in Perth between the 2 West Aussie teams with 45000 spectators. Mask wearing mandatory. I'm being cynical, but lockdown will probably come in after the game is over!
Like their fellow Antipodeans, Aussies 🦘 don’t need to think about the “downgrading” terminology ‘endemic’ or namely ‘living with the virus’. One other major thing Australia and N.Z. don’t need is to experiment with are ‘trial’ events such as horse racing festivals and football matches … the original U.K. super spreader events. Well done 👍 U.K. for leading this pioneering research. What a kudos to have …. NOT!
Great discussion. The question of when this pandemic may reduce to just another cold may also be impacted by ongoing natural mutations as well as any accidental releases from laboratories tinkering with splicing new bits into test their ferocity in infecting humans.
They are basically a big Island. Of course it’s easier to deal with any possible outbreak. It’s impossible to do the same thing here in NA where trade between our Countries is essential. It would be much smarter to make the International Airport Arrivals quarantine for 14 days though, I think we only require 3 days in a Hotel.
LOL @ Aussie travel fever. There's a Apple festival in a small mountain town near my home in Atlanta. Last time I attended, half the guests were Australian. Most Americans don't know the town exists. Fun people who handled Covid like champs.

Really make me proud of being an Australian. I hope other countries will learn a thing or two from Australia and make their countries safer. Hope to be able to visit many of these countries safely soon.
Australia has the best biological and most effective border control in the world and apparently these skills have transferred to pandemic control..the evidence supports that ..well done 🏄🏻♂️
51m doses of novavax on order so between that and another 20m Pfizer and domestic AZ there will be enough to do full population 3 times over so while rollout is slow by later in year it should be full on also news of a local facility being built to make local MRNA
Re Myocarditis. The thing is Israel is the only country which has vaccinated most of their young people so it is unsafe to assume this is only a potential issue with Pfizer. UK adverse reaction data indicates similar numbers of myocarditis in both Pfizer and AZ. Hard to draw too many conclusions without knowing if this really is a second dose issue and whether more young people in the UK have had pfizer or AZ.
Also have to compare it to the background rate of myocarditis in each given population prior to covid. (As well as individuals possibly being infected without symptoms and having potential damage to various organs regardless)
Many Australians have a wait and see approach to the vaccine , including myself . Rather a few have told Me they don’t feel it’s urgent for them to get vaccinated . If they wish to travel they will get vaccinated . Some are concerned about side effects and don’t see why they need to risk it right now .
I live in the state of Georgia, USA. Our governor put out a new de-regulation on Covid today, with no seating rules for restaurants, theaters, etc Most states haven't allowed theater's to open, and restaurants are required 6 feet of space or plexiglass dividers between tables.
Colorado here, stopped by the local Flying J truck stop to try out their IHOP biscuits and gravy. Three people seated in a room that could seat 50, there doesn't seem to be a rush just quite yet. It could have been the ten dollar price though too. Oh, and no special reason to give it go yourself, biscuits were nice and big and quite soft, but the gravy was nothing to write home about. Adequate at best.
Historían Geoffrey Blainey wrote a book about Australia called “ The tyranny of distance” , this time in history we should say Australia had a “ Blessing of distance”
I’m really interested in the topic of cross-vaccination, giving two different types/platforms/technologies of vaccines, to increase the immune response.
Study going on at the moment in UK to research just that. If you're in the UK and have had one dose, you can volunteer for the study. I tried to, but you're excluded if you previously had the infection.
I'm with the doc on the Flu Vax..I probably got a non-adjuvant version but nonetheless, I had zero side effects, not even a sore arm. No dramas at all. My second AZ is in mid-June and expecting fewer side effects then as well (based on what I read and what people have told me, the second shot carries far less in the way of side effects).
Can Dr Farrier clear up the issues around section 158 of the Health Act which seems to say that vaccinations can be given by force? PUBLIC HEALTH ACT 2016 - SECT 158 158 . Enforcement of requirement to undergo medical observation, medical examination (1) If an authorised officer gives a direction to a person under section 157(1)(j) to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated, an authorised officer or police officer may use reasonable force to ensure that the direction is complied with, including, if necessary - (a) to apprehend and detain the person to whom the direction applies (the relevant person ) and take the relevant person to a place where the person is required to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated in accordance with the direction; and (b) to detain the relevant person at the place where he or she is required to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated in accordance with the direction; and (c) to restrain the relevant person - (i) to enable a medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment to be carried out; or (ii) to enable the relevant person to be vaccinated;

All Australians seem to be so smart and likable! I’m so glad your excellent public health program seems to have confined the spread from this case. The Australian contact-tracing programs should be adopted by my country, US, in fact every aspect of its pandemic response should be adopted. American government arrogance, lack of compassion and incompetence has resulted in nearly 600,000 deaths here, not to mention greatly contributing to the worldwide spread of this virus, which can’t be quantified, but must be enormous.
It may "seem" that way, but I can assure you, I am the only smart and likeable person in the whole of Australia.
We were very lucky that all the states here eventually followed the New Zealand model: initial hard lockdown, strict 14 day hotel quarantine for all international/interstate arrivals, mandatory testing, and digital contact tracing system. Hence, zero community transmissions. Once it's out in the community, It's harder to control. We had an out of control spread in Victoria for a while, so needed to have an extended lockdown until the digital contact tracing system was in place. Luckily, things are better now. Hope things improve in the US.
Drs. Campbell and Farrier thank you so much. Thank you for not only giving us what the paper says but also all surrounding facts.

One of the factors that's been overlooked in the current India situation is a propensity for pre-diabetic and diabetic conditions in the younger population that exceeds the average in the west.
That probably didn't change between the waves. Per capita US seems worse than India? Some mixup with or without prediabetes, I didn't look that hard.
It's a good point , I think generally the burden of genetic problems is higher.
@@gottagowork There's also a season change underway. And what I haven't heard in any of this discussion about India is where this is occurring. It's a continent. Only "Alarming" reports.

THAT SAID.....we're gonna find out soon if this is some strange new variant that's more lethal. If that's the case, well, fuk...
@@daninmanchester It's def going to be interesting to see all aspects of it unpacked over time.
@@Mis-AdventureCH And now account for the underreporting and a less developed health and infrastructure system. When "rural" USA like El Paso/Texas were overrun, they flew patients nonstop to the metro areas who still had capacity. Kind of stark contrast to two guys carrying a sick one on horse as there are no roads. Unable to find the video. I know rural India will struggle with *any* case, but I don't know how they're doing as most cover the big cities.
Underreporting is 5x-10x by estimates, but impossible to verify. That puts India where US was during winter peak, with Indias peak expected to hit mid May (by prognosis):
covid19.healthdata.org/india?view=daily-deaths&tab=trend
We have no data (in that chart) on their bed or ICU coverage, and also no data on excessive deaths.
Variants are "well" known, B.1.1.7 (UK) and B.1.617 (Indian double variant). There is a new triple variant but not much data on it yet and not dominant (yet anyway).
Likely not "more lethal" per case, but much more transmissible making more people sick, causing people who could have been saved to succumb, leading to far more deaths.
When this blows over globally we'll get a final estimate. And it's not going to be the "pretty" numbers we see now. Flu+pneumonia deaths are estimates - we're undercounting data as they come in.
As an over 50 Australian I note we have purchased 10m Pfizer now and another 50m in September. Given containment I’m happy to wait till September and get a 94% efficiency vaccine rather than a 74% efficient vaccine. Should COVID get into the community before September it would be regionally contained and if my region I would get the lower efficiency vaccine. There is much chatter about side effects. for me and many others it about quality (efficiency)
Here's a published article in Medicina about efficacy:
Medicina article:
Outcome Reporting Bias in COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Clinical Trials By Dr Ron Brown
www.mdpi.com/1648-9144/57/3/199
"Abstract :
Relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction measures in the evaluation of clinical trial data are poorly understood by health professionals and the public. The absence of reported absolute risk reduction in COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials can lead to outcome reporting bias that affects the interpretation of vaccine efficacy. The present article uses clinical epidemiologic tools to critically appraise reports of efficacy in Pfzier/BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine clinical trials. Based on data reported by the manufacturer for Pfzier/BioNTech vaccine BNT162b2, this critical appraisal shows: relative risk reduction, 95.1%; 95% CI, 90.0% to 97.6%; p = 0.016; absolute risk reduction, 0.7%; 95% CI, 0.59% to 0.83%; p < 0.000. For the Moderna vaccine mRNA-1273, the appraisal shows: relative risk reduction, 94.1%; 95% CI, 89.1% to 96.8%; p = 0.004; absolute risk reduction, 1.1%; 95% CI, 0.97% to 1.32%; p < 0.000. Unreported absolute risk reduction measures of 0.7% and 1.1% for the Pfzier/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, respectively, are very much lower than the reported relative risk reduction measures. Reporting absolute risk reduction measures is essential to prevent outcome reporting bias in evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine efficacy. "

There were two cases of community transmission in Perth after that guy that was infected in the quarantine hotel got out for those five days. One case was a lady friend he visited and another case was a guy that was sitting in the same restaurant where the "Melbourne" guy was present at the same time. The guy was called the Melbourne guy because after those 5 days he went back to Melbourne.
Australia here. This pandemic for us is turning out a bit like the ‘global financial crisis’ something that effected everyone else, do not understand really what’s so different about us.
Financial crisis - we had a left-leaning Federal government and the stimulus went to ordinary people, which, despite the pink batts debacle, was the best way to go.
COVID - the Federal government is right wing and about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. Much of the responsibility for responding to COVID has fallen to the states and they've got their acts together.
In both cases, it doesn't hurt that we are on an island.
Australia is not only superior in contact tracing. Australia is superior in most ways. We are also very humble lol 😂🤣😂🤣

Good evening Dr. John Campbell. Ready for another exciting video !
Why,are you going somewhere else?
As an Australian, I am concerned about the number of nearby countries with out of control infection, and the accompanying risk of more parlous variants arising. Add to this the dual delayed and slow rollout of vaccines, and we have a risky situation for at the least a spike in community covid infection, and at the worst, an out of control outbreak of a more dangerous variant here in Australia. There is no place for complacency anywhere with this nasty virus.
Thanks again...very good

Valuable discussion.. Thanks
Dr. Campbell, I like listening to your podcast and your Australian counterpart doctor. The pandemic doesn’t seem to be ending soon. Do you think the entire population needs to be vaccinated first to control the spread of the mutating virus, ban travels temporarily. What are your thoughts?
R0 with no shutdown was 2.5. For the pandemic to be over, we need R0 to be 1.0 or less. To get R0 from 2.5 to 1.0 we need to 1.5 out of 2.5 to be immune. If the vaccines were 100% effective, then we’d need to vaccinate 60% of the population. If the vaccines are 80% effect at stopping the spread of the virus, then we’d need to vaccinate 75% of the population.
We don’t yet know exactly how effective all the vaccines are at reducing the spread of the virus, and getting R0 below 1.0 is better than exactly 1.0.
Therefore 80% would be the bare minimum, and 90% would be significantly better. It would be optional to require vaccination for access to anywhere where someone might infect others like airports, movie theaters, grocery stores and everywhere else where strangers come into contact with each other until the virus is eliminated.

Thanks Dr Campbell much appreciated 👍

Welcome back, Dr. Nigel.
Its a great time to be an Aussie.
It's always a great time to be an Aussie.
Surprising how well Queenland has done, lot of people moving up from Victoria and NSW expect to see more migration from NZ soon too. Price of homes and used cars has gone up as a result and trafic congestion has increased.
Yes, it's getting crowded up here. I hope this doesn't bring the southern problems to this area by way of population increase. The safest places in Australia seem to be small country towns. I wish I could make a tree change.
Dr Campbell did you happen to ask Dr Farrier off camera or at another time what the Australian response to the apparent success of ivermectin was?
Dr Farrier is tops.
I agree, prof Spector is incredibly premature. This pandemic is not over. Either in the world, or in the Uk. I was very disappointed in his declaration. I disagree with quite a lot of his analysis recently as it goes - his dismissal of Vit D being one of the issues I struggle to understand his rationale for his viewpoint

The Spanish Flu disappeared without effective treatments or vaccines in about 3 years. Who knows?
@@warrenklein7817 The reason I have seen given for the "stop" of the Spanish flu pandemic is that those that were infected either died or developed immunity. I'm glad we have a third choice: getting a vaccine.
@@bootburner4544 From the article you linked: "The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. " In other words, first, the person had the influenza virus infection, then they contracted bacterial pneumonia, unfortunately before the use of antibiotics for pneumonia. Bacterial pneumonia is deadly without treatment and occurs frequently with or after a viral pneumonia infection.
It’s like I’m seeing twins. 😲
Aye, twin bullshitters.
There are very strong viral fragments in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. They suspect that travellers who were on the plane from Perth have become positive to the virus now. Testing has stepped up in that area.
It helps that Australia is only 40th in the world in number of international visitors. Additionally a big chunk of those 8 million annual arrivals are from NZ.
I enjoyed this, thank you.
Lessons from the Land of OZ (Australia):
1) Early restrictions on international flights from COVID-19 hotspots.
2) Formation of a proactive National Cabinet to work cooperatively between the Federal Government and the 8 State and Territory Governments.
3) Political parties and mainstream media initially avoided the usual politicisation of events, leading to a more unified and informed approach to fighting COVID-19. Much less bickering to distract from what needed to be done.
4) Early introduction of Quarantine procedures and facilities for travellers entering OZ..
5) Very effective Testing, Contact Tracing and Isolation procedures (with supporting apps and other technologies).
6) Well resourced and well run Hospital systems and Emergency Services (all these are controlled by the State and Territory Governments).
7) Comparatively quick introduction of government (Federal and State) policies to provide financial support to individuals and businesses impacted by COVID-19.
8) Cautious approach (sometimes overly cautious) to locking down States and Localities where there has been community transmission of COVID-19.
9) Being a large island with one of the lowest population densities (even though the bulk of the population reside around 8 major cities that are mostly near the coast).
New Zealand (NZ) largely used the same approach as OZ except that there is no State level of government, making it a bit easier for the NZ National Government to implement and coordinate policies and procedures to fight COVID-19.
Thank you Dr John (and Dr Nigel) for providing so much up-to-date information about COVID-19. Your Channel is a breath of fresh air, providing such a wealth of knowledge and facts. There are far too many other people on mainstream and social media who express "opinions" that are not based on knowledge and facts, but based more on political bias. 😷😓🤒😀🥰
I think the Paramedics and hospital staff all over Australia would challenge you on number 6. We are not resourced to handle what we have in a closed borders Australia at present. I hope we get our act together on resourcing our hospitals before we open the borders - we seem to be only interested in how much the value of our homes have increased instead of how our hospitals are terribly under resourced and understaffed and our Paramedics need thousands more colleagues. Lets hope the government can work as efficiently fixing them before we open up...

Another good video.
Our UK track and trace programme has been nothing but an expensive disaster.
We seem to have used sledgehammers to crack nuts and made a huge mess whereas Australia has been much more focused.
In Australia it's hard for people traveling for work or seeing family, expensive too, I know a few people too, but it is hard to argue with the results and they got back to relative normal quite quickly and have all sorts of places open events going on etc.
I've heard from a number of doctors in Australia that they want to target / swap vaccines for certain groups due to some of the risks.
I'm certainly in the camp of waiting for more data on vaccines.
It's been interesting to see how our Covid app and tracing system have gone from being declared unready, badly made etc etc to being this effective. I honestly think it's the humans behind all the tech that make the calls and do the hardest work that have been our salvation, God bless them.
@@catercoz2491 The AU Federal tracing App is an absolute disaster. Its the States individual Apps that are doing the hard work!!
Second half of video The Matrix breaks, and you can see a lil thru the filter on the "australian doctor" lizard lookalike LOL jp. Extrememly glad you docs cover this info for everyone who watches. Its appreciated.
28 active cases, out of 2,300 people in quarantine here in perth. hotels are not the perfect solution, as they weren't built for the purpose of quarantine, but they're all we've got as, sadly, the federal government decommissioned all our quarantine stations quite some time ago. nevertheless, so far we're doing ok. qr code scanning helps enormously in contact tracing, but it would be awful trying to trace hundreds or thousands of cases. i'm happy that we're only dealing with one or two community cases at a time.

I'm in Australia, "just over 50" and very positive about vaccination. However, several of my friends are in the the 'wait and see' category. Their reason is usually "It's all been developed too quickly and not yet tested throughly". However, this seems to be based on media hype. None of them seemed to know how vaccines are actually tested, or how vaccines for illnesses not as contagious as COVID will often take years to get a big enough sample size of people to give meaningful information.
I saw that Pfizer was tested on 18,000, with placebo of 18,000 over 3 months (I think), which resulted in relative risk benefit efficacy of 95.1%, but worries me the unpublished absolute risk benefit is 0.7%. Would like to see updated figures for all the vaccines with both calculations.
Your friends caution is valid. Wanting a choice of Vaccine is valid for all Australians as is choosing not to have it at all or to wait a little longer for the outcomes of those being used overseas. Myocarditis in Israel using Pfizer or blood clots Astrazenica. world wide. We don't have the risk here until we open the international borders, also caution and choice is sensible. My mother died of thrombocytopenia blood clots after the 2nd dose AstraZenica - its not all cake and honey. You believe whatever you are told or whatever you are allowed to read ... you can also belittle your friends sensible caution as you have done in this posting as uneducated... when you lose someone to the vaccine I don't think you will be "very positive" about the unknown any longer..,.,
@@shantishanti1949 It works both ways. I had a brother who died of diphtheria because people in that era wanted to be sure before vaccinating.

Like their fellow Antipodeans, Aussies 🦘 don’t need to think about the “downgrading” terminology ‘endemic’ or namely ‘living with the virus’.
One other major thing Australia and N.Z. don’t need is to experiment with are ‘trial’ events such as horse racing festivals and football matches … the original U.K. super spreader events.
Well done 👍 U.K. for leading this pioneering research. What a kudos to have …. NOT!
Off topic: What a great example of how great Australian internet really is!! /s
disgraceful, isn't it? please have a word with our useless federal government about this.
@@michellewestlake6766 Well it isn't completely useless, it's effectively keeping the other, far worse, bastards out!
the pure joys of the Governments national broad band network. Faster than a speeding snail... more powerful than a broken locomotive.
@@catercoz2491 Able to shut down all telecommunication with a power outage. It is disgraceful.
Lol well we can't have it all 😂
Thank you. 🇨🇦😷👍
Great discussion. The question of when this pandemic may reduce to just another cold may also be impacted by ongoing natural mutations as well as any accidental releases from laboratories tinkering with splicing new bits into test their ferocity in infecting humans.
They are basically a big Island. Of course it’s easier to deal with any possible outbreak. It’s impossible to do the same thing here in NA where trade between our Countries is essential. It would be much smarter to make the International Airport Arrivals quarantine for 14 days though, I think we only require 3 days in a Hotel.
OMG - john has a Aussie twin... haha...
Luv the channel, it is much appreciated :)
Congratulations to Australia..fingers Crosses it will continue 😁
Dr Campbell...you have a Brother in Australia...you look so much alike😃
LOL @ Aussie travel fever. There's a Apple festival in a small mountain town near my home in Atlanta. Last time I attended, half the guests were Australian. Most Americans don't know the town exists. Fun people who handled Covid like champs.
yes, we do like to get around. hopefully all those australians weren't a nuisance at the apple festival.
@@michellewestlake6766 I share travel fever with Australians and they were a joy at the festival. Joined right in dancing & drinking at the BBQ party.
John i have to say you are an inspiration and of all the go to places for covid related information you are the guy. Thankyou for your tireless focus and contributions which i have been following since day one when you started giving the presentations, which i must say are first rate. The information you present is in vernacular so that whether one is medical or non medical you are easy to follow and consistent in your methodology and reliability. Do you have a bio on line one can read or a place for people to email in a query ?
Really make me proud of being an Australian. I hope other countries will learn a thing or two from Australia and make their countries safer. Hope to be able to visit many of these countries safely soon.
Australia has the best biological and most effective border control in the world and apparently these skills have transferred to pandemic control..the evidence supports that ..well done 🏄🏻♂️
Certainly helps to be an island🌴
Yes the new convicts of OZ
Thank you as always.. great info
Well done Aussie!!!
In Australia each state is in control of it's health restrictions novavax due in August
51m doses of novavax on order so between that and another 20m Pfizer and domestic AZ there will be enough to do full population 3 times over so while rollout is slow by later in year it should be full on also news of a local facility being built to make local MRNA
Re Myocarditis. The thing is Israel is the only country which has vaccinated most of their young people so it is unsafe to assume this is only a potential issue with Pfizer. UK adverse reaction data indicates similar numbers of myocarditis in both Pfizer and AZ. Hard to draw too many conclusions without knowing if this really is a second dose issue and whether more young people in the UK have had pfizer or AZ.
Also have to compare it to the background rate of myocarditis in each given population prior to covid. (As well as individuals possibly being infected without symptoms and having potential damage to various organs regardless)
Many Australians have a wait and see approach to the vaccine , including myself . Rather a few have told Me they don’t feel it’s urgent for them to get vaccinated .
If they wish to travel they will get vaccinated .
Some are concerned about side effects and don’t see why they need to risk it right now .
I live in the state of Georgia, USA. Our governor put out a new de-regulation on Covid today, with no seating rules for restaurants, theaters, etc
Most states haven't allowed theater's to open, and restaurants are required 6 feet of space or plexiglass dividers between tables.
Colorado here, stopped by the local Flying J truck stop to try out their IHOP biscuits and gravy. Three people seated in a room that could seat 50, there doesn't seem to be a rush just quite yet. It could have been the ten dollar price though too. Oh, and no special reason to give it go yourself, biscuits were nice and big and quite soft, but the gravy was nothing to write home about. Adequate at best.
Historían Geoffrey Blainey wrote a book about Australia called “ The tyranny of distance” , this time in history we should say Australia had a “ Blessing of distance”
Australia is criminally impeding their own Australian citizens to return to their country.
@14:00 Yes, we're like a bad penny. We're everywhere :-)
I’m really interested in the topic of cross-vaccination, giving two different types/platforms/technologies of vaccines, to increase the immune response.
Study going on at the moment in UK to research just that. If you're in the UK and have had one dose, you can volunteer for the study. I tried to, but you're excluded if you previously had the infection.
are these two people related somehow. they look similar to each other lol.
😆😆😆
Lolol
Cousins on the mother’s side
I'm with the doc on the Flu Vax..I probably got a non-adjuvant version but nonetheless, I had zero side effects, not even a sore arm. No dramas at all. My second AZ is in mid-June and expecting fewer side effects then as well (based on what I read and what people have told me, the second shot carries far less in the way of side effects).
Same situation here.
Can Dr Farrier clear up the issues around section 158 of the Health Act which seems to say that vaccinations can be given by force?
PUBLIC HEALTH ACT 2016 - SECT 158
158 . Enforcement of requirement to undergo medical observation, medical examination
(1) If an authorised officer gives a direction to a person under section 157(1)(j) to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated, an authorised officer or police officer may use reasonable force to ensure that the direction is complied with, including, if necessary -
(a) to apprehend and detain the person to whom the direction applies (the relevant person ) and take the relevant person to a place where the person is required to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated in accordance with the direction; and
(b) to detain the relevant person at the place where he or she is required to undergo medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment or to be vaccinated in accordance with the direction; and
(c) to restrain the relevant person -
(i) to enable a medical observation, medical examination or medical treatment to be carried out; or
(ii) to enable the relevant person to be vaccinated;
I got the AZ here in OZ at a local clinic, it had a real party feel with the oldies . I asked the nurse why are they all so happy, she said think they can all go, on a cruise again soon.
Thanks John , your keeping me company via Your updates , still resting , and appears a to be getting better following shingles , took my antiviral tabs , Ireland is rolling out the vaccine nonstop , so thing’s improving , numbers are still fairly high , 🤞🌷
While on quarantine Dr John figured out cloning!
Awesome accent from Dr Farrier

@@vickit3124 hello Vicki, how are you doing?
@@markdolan9459 Hi Mark - I’m doing ok! 3 weeks since my first AZ jab, 2nd one in July. Hoping that Australian borders will reopen in later 2021. Besides that life in Sydney is pretty much normal. I’m feeling heartbroken about India - I worked there often and love the country and the people. How are you? 🌻🇦🇺
Good morning my good friend, how are you and your family?
I hope Australians and New Zealanders appreciate their Governments. They have done so much better than nearly everywhere else.
Hi from NZ, I would like to shout out Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam as well
