The Therapeutic Goods Administration has announced it has approved CSL-Seqirus to manufacture the AstraZeneca vaccine in its facility in Melbourne.

In a statement, the TGA said that the approval was a ‘critical and very exciting milestone in Australia’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.’

Specific approval of Australian manufacturing by TGA was required to ensure that the locally-manufactured vaccine had exactly the same composition and performance as overseas-manufactured vaccine, was made to the same quality and is free of contaminants.

The announcement couldn’t have come at a better time, as supply of the vaccine are affected by a variety of issues.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/scientists-say-they-found-cause-of-blood-clotting-linked-to-astrazeneca-vaccine-11616169108?mod=trending_now_news_pos1

Two teams of medical researchers in Norway and Germany have independently found that the vaccine could trigger an autoimmune reaction causing blood to clot in the brain, which would offer an explanation for isolated incidents across Europe in recent weeks.

Subsequently, countries such as Germany, France, and Italy resumed inoculations while Norway, Denmark, and Sweden continued to suspend the rollout subject to a further review of the EMA decision.

Neither the Norwegian nor the German studies were peer-reviewed, and within the next few days, Prof. Greinacher expects to submit his work for publication in the British medical journal The Lancet.

I understood that CSL had been making the vaccine in Melbourne for months now. In preparation for it approval, and being able to immediately distribute it. max production about 1 million a week.

Since late last year, local manufacture of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been underway at CSL Behring’s advanced manufacturing facility in Broadmeadows, Victoria.

So many countries are still hiding the number of Covid vaccines given to defence forces.

Countries, stop treating Covid as a military secret ! And stop putting firewalls around medical vaccine research to hide progress.

Russia has been honest about this, defence forces got vaccinated before the roll-out to everyone else, 50,000 troops somewhere between April and November last year.
Australia has put defence forces on its high priority vaccination list, much higher than it has any moral right to.
USA vaccination of defence forces is officially “not available”.

North Korea is still claiming to have no Covid cases in the country, it was the first country to close its borders. It closed its borders in late Jan 2020 to keep Covid out. Pyongyang still credits its strict border closure with keeping out the coronavirus. North Korea will receive 1.7 million doses of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, but when? News reports don’t say when.

As of 18 Mar 2021, Turkmenistan is still claiming no Covid cases in the country. On 18 January 2021, Russia said that Turkmenistan had registered Russia’s Sputnik-V vaccine for emergency-use authorization.

Australia 253,000 vaccinations so far. Other countries.

Germany is considering making all people returning from abroad face quarantine and compulsory tests after infection rates jumped above the level at which authorities say hospitals will be overstretched.

They had well over 13k cases identified yesterday, I’d want to go into quarantine to keep away from the diseased mongrels.

Israel is approaching 100% vaccination.
111 vaccine doses administered per 100 population, keeping in mind that vaccination isn’t complete un til 2 doses are administered.
It shows in the new cases statistics.

UAE has the second highest percentage vaccinated 72 vaccine doses administered per 100 population. Not so good yet. Effectiveness depends on whether it’s the spreaders who are vaccinated or the non-spreaders.

UK, Chile and USA also have high vaccination rates, about 40 doses per 100 people.

UK

Chile – Yike! Something very badly wrong there.

USA

Was saying the same back in (check spreadsheet), on 19 Apil last year.
That was when I first realised that the Australian mortality rate was 1%, as against the then 17% mortality rate in the UK.

I suspect hat the Brits’ major problem was that they weren’t able to accept that the illness is just confined to the people below themselves in the ‘class structure’, and that the rules really didn’t apply to people in the station in life.

Mr buffy just rang the GP clinic to get an appointment for new prescriptions. That’s sorted. He asked about the COVID19 vaccine and they will be doing it when they get supplies. They are compiling a list. He is on the list (he thinks he is in the cohort just starting this week) He’s also on the list for a fluvax. The clinic will phone him when they are ready for him. I’ll get him to put me on the lists when he goes in. I’m further down the priorities, being healthy.

Immunisation-certified RNs and NPs are quite capable of delivering all vaccine injections, including intra-muscular.

Just a couple of years back, i worked with an outfit that ran immunisation programmes for nurses. They were hugely in demand, always more people applying than could be accommodated.

The programme was thorough, and skimped on nothing. Same for the testing/qualifying – it’s no tick-and-flick exercise.

Where I go for chemo the nurses give all the treatments IV, subcut etc. I wonder if they will be permitted to give the jab.

Mind you…there isn’t anything for them to actually vaccinate with in rural and remote at this stage anyway. There is time to sort it out.

It Gets Better And Better, Where “Better” Means More Like Morrison

AstraZeneca may have provided incomplete efficacy data from latest COVID-19 trial, says NIAID

British drugmaker AstraZeneca may have provided an incomplete view of efficacy data on its COVID-19 vaccine from a large scale US trial, the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) said.

AstraZeneca said yesterday that its COVID-19 vaccine developed with Oxford University was 79% effective in preventing symptomatic illness in a large trial in the United States, Chile and Peru.

(Reuters: Dado Ruvic)

“The DSMB (Data Safety Monitoring Board) expressed concern that AstraZeneca may have included outdated information from that trial, which may have provided an incomplete view of the efficacy data,” the US agency said.

“We urge the company to work with the DSMB to review the efficacy data and ensure the most accurate, up-to-date efficacy data be made public as quickly as possible.”

The request cast doubts over the company’s plan to seek US emergency use authorisation for the vaccine in the coming weeks.

Authorisation and guidelines for use of the vaccine in the United States will be determined by the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after thorough review of the data by independent advisory committees.

Texas Roadhouse CEO dies by suicide while battling ‘unbearable’ post-covid-19 symptoms, family says

Tim Elfrink
March 22, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. GMT+11

After surviving a bout with covid-19, Texas Roadhouse CEO Kent Taylor’s post-infection symptoms grew increasingly painful. Taylor was beset in particular with a severe case of tinnitus — a loud buzzing or ringing in the ears that can be debilitating.

Last week, amid an escalating fight with the conditions, Taylor, 65, died by suicide, his family said. His body was found on Thursday in a field on property he owned outside Louisville, the Courier-Journal reported.

“After a battle with post-Covid related symptoms, including severe tinnitus, Kent Taylor took his own life this week,” his family said in a statement shared with The Washington Post. “Kent battled and fought hard like the former track champion that he was, but the suffering that greatly intensified in recent days became unbearable.”

Queensland has recorded one new case of locally transmitted coronavirus, with a 26-year-old Brisbane man infectious in the community since last Friday.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the man from the Brisbane suburb of Stafford has been infectious in the community since last Friday.

From midday aged care facilities, hospitals and prisons in the Brisbane City Council area will not be allowed visitors.

Ms Palaszczuk said people in crowded places in those areas will now be required to wear masks.

“These are sensible precautions to look after our most vulnerable,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

A detailed public health alert will be issued later today on what locations the man had visited.

Dr Young: ‘We don’t know how’ man acquired infection

“We don’t know how we will be getting gene sequencing results later today or early tomorrow that will assist us in working that,” Dr Young said.

“We need to make sure we are socially distancing and where we can’t, to wear a mask. If you are in that vulnerable cohort, maybe stay-at-home for the next few days until we understand exactly what is happening here.”

Dr Young said people should be able to go outside this weekend.

we put it to you that if “you don’t know how” then you might also want to temper the “go outside this weekend” message with a bit more guidance on limiting transmission risk

“We need to make sure we are socially distancing and where we can’t, to wear a mask. If you are in that vulnerable cohort, maybe stay-at-home for the next few days until we understand exactly what is happening here.”

Dr Young said people should be able to go outside this weekend.

we put it to you that if “you don’t know how” then you might also want to temper the “go outside this weekend” message with a bit more guidance on limiting transmission risk


singing is not recommended but being outside, as they say, is

we would still carry if not wear masks while outside

we would still minimise contact with large groups

Wait until there’s no toilet paper on the shelves to go to the supermarket. Surprisingly empty at such times.

“The main suspicion among scientists about the Chinese vaccine is based on them not yet having published their data in a peer-reviewed journal — but neither has Johnson & Johnson, yet that got approved very quickly in the US,” he said.

Minister for Health Yvette D’Ath said that fever clinics will be open all weekend, and reiterated how important it is to get tested and isolate if there are any “Please be patient. Please be respectful,” Ms D’Ath said. “We will be doing our best to get people through those clinics as quickly as possible.”

She added that she was “concerned” about the number of positive cases coming into the country, the “vast majority of whom are coming from Papua New Guinea”.

could well be the most sensible place to start the investigation

Queensland has recorded one new case of locally transmitted coronavirus, with a 26-year-old Brisbane man infectious in the community since last Friday.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the man from the Brisbane suburb of Stafford has been infectious in the community since last Friday.

From midday aged care facilities, hospitals and prisons in the Brisbane City Council area will not be allowed visitors.

Ms Palaszczuk said people in crowded places in those areas will now be required to wear masks.

“These are sensible precautions to look after our most vulnerable,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

A detailed public health alert will be issued later today on what locations the man had visited.

More to come.

Badly worded. I will be in Perth on the evening of the 9th if anyone is up for a beer, flying out at midday the next.
