Teachers Push Back On Vaccine Mandates

Some of the biggest school systems in the U.S. are taking a hard line with teachers and staff members who are not yet vaccinated against COVID-19: Get a jab or lose your job.

In Oregon, where school staffers statewide are required to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18, the board for the 7,500-student district of Redmond last week passed a resolution protesting the mandate and mandatory mask-wearing in schools after “significant” opposition.

COVID-19 Vaccination Passports Are Useless

To the “COVID-19 vaccination passport” vs. negative COVID-19 test tomfoolery that has engulfed many concert venues.

To reiterate what I said earlier, let me say it in a simpler way.

EVERYONE CAN STILL GET COVID-19, AND SPREAD COVID-19, AND DIE FROM COVID-19.

But you probably won’t die if you do catch COVID-19.

VACCINATION STATUS DOES NOT MATTER.

Regardless if you’ve had your vaccination shot(s), or if you’re one of those refusing to get a shot at all, you are not actually immune from COVID-19 in either circumstance. Regardless of what you do, the fact of the matter is that you can still be affected by COVID-19.

OLD NEGATIVE COVID-19 TESTS DO NOT MATTER.

Just because you did not have COVID-19 three days ago, it does not mean that you didn’t catch COIVD-19, say on your way home from your COVID-19 test.

So why are we checking COVID-19 vaccination passports or requiring old testing results?

Surgical Face Masks Ineffective in Stopping COVID-19

Most blue surgical face masks used by many during the pandemic are not enough to avoid people from being infected with COVID-19, an alarming new study has found.

The study from the University of Waterloo in Canada showed N95 or KN95 masks did the best job in containing aerosol droplets from the wearer’s mouth.

The blue, cloth surgical masks that have become popular during the pandemic were found be only 10 percent effective as it does not cover the face properly.

Welcome to Camp Rona!

With quarantine continuing to be a critical part of the Australian response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Victorian and Australian Governments have committed to building a purpose-built quarantine accommodation hub outside Melbourne’s CBD, to combat and protect the community from the highly infectious COVID-19 virus.

This commitment followed the development of a business case by the Victorian Government, which was submitted to the Australian Government for approval. A project summary of this business case can be found at www.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-04/Alternative-quarantine-accommodation-hub-project-summary-April-2021.pdf

The business case identified a preferred site at Donnybrook Road, Mickleham – at the site of the existing animal quarantine facility, owned by the Australian Department of Agriculture. On 24 June 2021, the Australian Government confirmed that this will be the site of the new facility.

COVID-19 quarantine is an important feature of our public health response to COVID-19, and this new purpose-built hub will be designed and built with the primary purpose of ensuring the safety of our community.

The design of the new hub is fully informed by experts in public health and infection control and is based on the existing standalone facility currently operating at Howard Springs. With its cabin-style outdoor accommodation, Howard Springs has been widely acknowledged as the safest and most functional design for quarantine in Australia.

The master plan for the new hub includes dedicated onsite services, including catering that is tailored to be delivered alongside strong infection control and prevention measures. The first stage of the hub will provide 500 beds, with a second stage doubling capacity a short time later. It is also designed with the ability to increase to up to 3000 beds as part of a scalable build if a larger facility is determined to be required at any point.

The new hub will also be designed with relocatable cabins so that it can be utilised for alternative and future needs, including ongoing quarantine arrangements, crisis accommodation and other emergencies.
