It’s only an meme on the internet, not an article for peer review to a history journal.

It was the best I could find in memes about class.

Nice. I recently asked Mitchell Library for an image of the Sydney Harbour Bridge being built, photographed by Frank Cash. My brother had commented on it when reading a book, so I thought I would give him a large print for his birthday. They provided the digital file and told me that as long as it was not used for commercial purposes, I could use it :)

Health experts have slammed Senator Pauline Hanson for making false claims about vaccines before bizarrely stating it was a person’s right to choose to catch Covid-19 and die.

Speaking to Sky News on Monday, Senator Hanson claimed the Covid-19 vaccines had “not been properly tested”, and the government was using lockdowns as a “bullying tactic” to coerce people into getting the jab.

Senator Hanson pushed back hard against the suggestion of compulsory vaccination mandates in Australian businesses, saying workers should have the right to choose and things should be opened back up by December.

“Give them the opportunity to make sure the vaccine is there for people to have it, but you’ve got to have an end date to all this and I’m saying the first of December,” she said.

“Give people the opportunity, have the vaccines, and if people like myself who hasn’t had the vaccine, then I get Covid-19 and I died from it, that’s my choice.”

Former deputy chief medical officer Nick Coatsworth slammed Senator Hanson’s claims, telling NCA NewsWire that the Covid-19 vaccine was “probably the most thoroughly tested vaccine of all time”.

Dr Sara Marzouk

Today the COVID news cycle has been dominated by the announcement that the TGA has approved Moderna’s mRNA COVID vaccine in Australia.

As I did with both AstraZeneca and Pfizer’s COVID vaccines, I wanted talk a little bit about the efficacy and effectiveness of the vaccine, and promising data from trials involving children.

First, some background information.

Moderna is an American biotechnology company based in Massachusetts. Unlike Pfizer-BioNTech, which did not receive Operation Warp Speed funding to develop their vaccine (but did receive a commitment to purchase the vaccine) Moderna received over a billion dollars directly for vaccine development. Moderna partnered with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to co-develop a vaccine candidate dubbed mRNA-1273. Like Pfizer, Moderna’s vaccine is a mRNA vaccine which contains the genetic code for the coronavirus spike protein, but this one codes a stabilised version of the spike protein engineered by NIAID researchers, known as S-2P. As mentioned previously the spike protein is significant for two main reasons: it is the means by which the virus attaches to and gains entry into host cells, and it is also the main target of the hosts immune system response.
How does Moderna’s mRNA vaccine work?

mRNA-1273 is a lipid nanoparticle–encapsulated, nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccine. The premise behind it is that after being injected into muscle, the mRNA code is directly taken up by cells. The cells then use their own protein factories, known as ribosomes, to read and translate the mRNA instructions in order to make the S-2P COVID spike protein. These new proteins are then presented on the surface of the host cell, where the immune system recognises them as being foreign and hence mounts an immune response against them. The result is an antibody response against the spike protein and immunity against infection. And because mRNA is the genetic material used, any theoretical risk of recombination with our own DNA is eliminated.

So, what do we know about the Moderna vaccine?

Like Pfizer’s vaccine, the mRNA-1273 vaccine underwent Phase 3 clinical trial last year. More than 30,000 participants at 100 clinical research sites in the United States participated in the study.

The study includes more than 7,000 Americans over the age of 65. It also included more than 5,000 Americans who were under the age of 65 but had high-risk chronic diseases that put them at increased risk of severe COVID-19, such as diabetes, severe obesity and cardiac disease. These medically high-risk groups represented 42% of the total participants in the Phase 3 study. The study also included communities that have historically been under-represented in clinical research and have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. This included more than 11,000 participants from communities of colour, representing 37% of the study population, which is similar to the diversity of the U.S. at large.

Half of the volunteers in the mRNA-1273 trial were randomised to receive the actual vaccine, with two doses given four weeks apart. The other half of the volunteer group were randomised to receive two doses of a placebo instead. The trial participants were then monitored for the development of any COVID-19 symptoms that occurred from a point in time two weeks after the second dose (6 weeks after the initial dose). Once the number of COVID infections amongst the trial participants was confirmed to have reached 95 cases, the data was analysed to determine the efficacy of the vaccine.

What were the preliminary findings?

With 30,000 trial participants recruited at the point that 95 cases of COVID were identified, an efficacy of 94.1% was calculated.

Since the initial paper reporting this, final blinded analysis from the trial was released last week and shows that efficacy against symptomatic COVID is 93.2%, against severe COVID is 98.2%, and against death caused by COVID is 100%.

Are these vaccine efficacies good?

Exceptional. As mentioned previously, the US FDA has stated that in order for a potential vaccine candidate to be approved for emergency use, it should have at least 50% efficacy.

But what does that mean in terms of real world effectiveness?

We do have some excellent data regarding how well Moderna performs in the real world.
A Qatari observational study found that the effectiveness against any severe, critical or fatal COVID-19 disease due to predominantly alpha and beta variants of SARS-CoV-2 infection was 81.6% and 95.7% after the first and second dose, respectively.

Obviously more data will be published as it is available from real world analysis.
How long does immunity last?

Final blinded analysis of Phase 3 trial data showed that the immune response remains durable through six months after second dose, with an efficacy of 92.4%.

How about delta? How effective is it against this variant.

We don’t have any concrete data yet regarding specific efficacy against the delta strain. Moderna has reported that it is conducting Phase 2 studies of its vaccine booster against variants of concern, including delta. Preliminary findings show that a booster neutralised variants, including delta, up to 43 fold.

How about children? Any studies there?

Moderna has completed enrolment into its TeenCOVE Phase 2/3 study of mRNA-1273 in adolescents ages 12-17. An initial analysis of 3,732 participants showed a vaccine efficacy rate of 93%.

A Phase 2 study of mRNA-1273 vaccine in the paediatric population aged 6 months to 11 years is ongoing.
So does this means that this vaccine is better than Pfizer?

Once again, not necessarily. Both are excellent vaccines that do what they are designed to: reduce hospitalisation and death.

There are certainly some positives in Moderna’s favour.

Unlike Pfizer’s candidate which requires storage at much lower temperatures to prevent denaturation of the mRNA, the Moderna vaccine remains stable at standard refrigerator temperatures of 2° to 8°C for 30 days, ship/store at -20 °C for up to 6 months, and be kept at room temperature for administration for up to 12 hours.

Secondly, the main commonly reported adverse event seems to what has been dubbed as ‘COVID arm’, a delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction of the skin. The rare adverse events of myocarditis is much less common in Moderna’s vaccine compared to Pfizer.

Exciting times ahead, and much needed in our fight against this virus.

When I worked for Woolies ( in a distribution centre) there was a guy I worked with that had a grudge against the company and claimed he got them back by going to the deli/seafood counter in store and ask for a bunch of different products that he would then drop on the floor and kick under the product shelves.

OK, you asked for it.

Fig. 1. Net photosynthesis of typical C3 and C4 plants versus CO2 concentration, adapted from Taiz and Zeiger (1991). The vertical dotted lines at 350 and 700 microL/L indicate the present-day CO2 concentration and the doubled concentration projected to occur sometime near the end of the next century, respectively. The double arrows indicate the amounts of increase in photosynthesis due to the CO2 doubling. C4 plants are limited to a few fast-growing species of grasses.

ie. The dominant effect of increase in greenhouse gases, dominating over all other effects, is a 60% increase in global forest growth, worldwide. It’s even better than that. By throttling back on photosynthesis, wild plants save so much water that they can grow on half the water required before CO2 doubling.

The dominant effect. The 1995 IPCC report hit it in a single sentence on page 454 of the 588 page report. And the 2021 IPCC report missed it – totally.

Just for moll:

OK, you asked for it.

Fig. 1. Net photosynthesis of typical C3 and C4 plants versus CO2 concentration, adapted from Taiz and Zeiger (1991). The vertical dotted lines at 350 and 700 microL/L indicate the present-day CO2 concentration and the doubled concentration projected to occur sometime near the end of the next century, respectively. The double arrows indicate the amounts of increase in photosynthesis due to the CO2 doubling. C4 plants are limited to a few fast-growing species of grasses.

ie. The dominant effect of increase in greenhouse gases, dominating over all other effects, is a 60% increase in global forest growth, worldwide. It’s even better than that. By throttling back on photosynthesis, wild plants save so much water that they can grow on half the water required before CO2 doubling.

The dominant effect. The 1995 IPCC report hit it in a single sentence on page 454 of the 588 page report. And the 2021 IPCC report missed it – totally.

We’ve already discussed that.

The point is, you really need to be more sceptical.

While i certainly don’t think that Trump=Hitler, there were interesting parallels between the two.

Both used their interpretations of existing laws, and applied those laws, to seize or to attempt to retain power, both used ‘invisible’ scapegoats (the Jews/communists, antifa/Democrat conspirators) to discredit social and political institutions, both used bombastic and inflammatory speechifying to motivate their followers to illegal acts, both used or tried to use their own mobs (Brownshirts/MAGA loonies) to overcome opposition to their rule.

I do like the name Shitler for Trump.

The little boy, based in Texas with his family, was diagnosed with leukemia in April 2018.
His mother, Kaitlin, shared the photos to highlight the importance of family in hard times.

Well, if slagging other countries is off, Indonesia can GAGF with its comments about Australia, then.

IIRC, Afghanistan’s journey down the road to Shitsville really began when Russia decided to celebrate its Olympiad by infiltrating Spetsnaz forces into Kabul and murdering administrators, installing a puppet government, and attempting to subdue the rest of the country by force of arms.

I suppose that, technically, you could call Russia a ‘western’ nation, although they’d argue about that.

Then Mr. Bin Laden and his band of adorable rascals decided to attack the US, and Afghanistan kindly provided them with refuge afterwards.

In any case, if there’s blame to go around, it doesn’t all have America’s name on it.

My excuse is actually pretty weak as apparently it didn’t take off until 2009 anyway.
