/// Thalidomide is a drug that was developed in the 1950s by the West German pharmaceutical company Chemie Grünenthal GmbH. It was originally intended as a sedative or tranquiliser, but was soon used for treating a wide range of other conditions, including colds, flu, nausea and morning sickness in pregnant women.11 Dec 2019 ///

//..neither is travel//

But it is, Bobbie:

At present you can only travel out of the country for essential purposes. But when the restrictions are ended next week (be it Wednesday or Thursday, depending on whether the PM and his fiancée can agree a date that ties up with the old and new legislation) travel will be open to all.

//…maybe we'll all have to have vaccination cards, like all pets have.....//

I already have one. Whether it will be acceptable to Mr Qantas if I have my Covid jab added to it I don’t know. It is not an acceptable certification for Yellow Fever immunisation for which I have a separate certificate.

//…the problem with that is many believe everything they read on FB.//

A bigger problem is that government ministers and their advisers know this and are anxious to put those with those unfounded and irrational beliefs at their ease by introducing unfounded and irrational restrictions.

The question about vaccination certificates was posed at yesterday’s press briefing - but I don’t think it was answered.

LOL, so true.

I think it's a terrible idea. Why the hell should people have to prove they have had the vaccine and if anybody doesn't want it, that is their prerogative and they shouldn't be bullied into it. I know some people who refuse point blank to have it and I haveno problem with that at all. Me? I'm not sure whether I will have it or not.

[Bobbisox1]

I think it's more an idea of stopping the spread ILM, some countries will demand such measures , I'm not against those not wanting the vaccine , that's entirely their choice

[mushroom25]

// some countries will demand such measures //

"if you haven't had the vaccine, you can't come in" - so not a lot different to "if you want to go to the USA, don't get caught doing drugs".

[New Judge]

Yes, many countries are rather fussy about who they allow to cross their borders. Such a stance is viewed as heresy her and in most of Europe. But it is what it is.

I am probably wrong on this, but the vaccine doesn't stop you from catching and spreading covid. It does however stop most people from getting the worst symptoms and complications.

[Bobbisox1]

Which should eventually 'dampen it down' and hopefully eradicate it Drmorgan

Dr Morgan
I think that you are right on the money with the knowledge that we have about Covid at the moment.

I ised to have a vaccination certificate that was required for some travelling - probably still got it somewhere. It was required by countries, though, not airlines.

nobody's saying you must have it, margie, you just won't be able to fly Qantas if you don't.
