Weighing up the real risks with AstraZeneca
Twenty-nine per cent of adult Australians surveyed have reported they are unlikely to get the COVID-19 jab (The Age, 19/5). The sideeffects are the most commonly cited reason, but many people also believe there is no rush to be vaccinated. This is despite exhortations from experts who tell us that we are not done with COVID-19 yet and a level of herd immunity is essential for the safe opening of our borders.

Virgin Australia has been forced to defend the importance it places on the health and safety of passengers, following a controversial speech by the airline’s CEO.
Speaking at Queensland University of Technology’s Business Leaders’ Forum yesterday, Jayne Hrdlicka said the narrative needed to change around COVID-19 in Australia as the country continues to roll out its vaccine program, according to the uni’s media centre.
“We can’t keep (COVID) out forever,” she said.
“We’re all going to be sicker than we ever have been in the past because we’re not exposed to the viruses and challenges that the rest of the world is dealing with, so we need to get the borders open for our own health and for the economy (once vaccinated).
âIt will make us sick but wonât put us into hospital ⦠some people may die, but it will be way smaller than with the flu.
âWeâre forgetting the fact that weâve learnt how to live with lots of viruses and challenges over the years and [Australia] has to learn how to live with this.â
Hrdlicka reportedly told the forum that it was a mistake to believe that Australia could keep the virus out âforeverâ, and said that remaining isolated from the rest of the world posed both a health and economic risk to the country.
âWeâre all going to be sicker than we ever have been in the past because weâre not exposed to the viruses and challenges that the rest of the world is dealing with so we need to get the borders open for our health and the economy,â she said.
