Unfortunately the aboriginal communities have very low vaccination rates, they just don't seem keen on the idea perhaps.
Let's take a look at reality. You posted a article from Zero Hedge which included fabricated quotes found only on extremist websites making it appear that Australia was rounding up people and placing them in quarantine camps -- trying to make it look similar to what the Nazi's did to the Jews. As outlined in the mainstream press articles, the Howard Springs quarantine facility is the nearest location in NT which had Covid testing and treatment facilities -- which makes sense that a quarantine facility would have these entities. Bringing them to the facility allowed the two Covid tests to be performed and the individuals to be monitored & cared for medically. Any of those in serious condition with Covid were airlifted to Darwin. In this situation this was the best way to provide the testing and treatment. Many of the the aboriginals have either sub-standard or no housing. Forcing them to go home would mean that they have no place to stay which reasonable shelter and would not be monitored easily - -hence they would be out in the community. The ramifications of this are very clear. Especially in view that the aboriginal communities have a long history of being adversely impacted by disease -- Covid is just the latest plague to cause issues. Zero Hedge, InfoWars and other right-wing extremist websites trying to make this look like the government is the equivalent of the Nazis rounding up people and placing them in camps are pushing completed nonsense.
The article stated that the Australian army was transporting people to quarantine camps. Now you may not like the the way it was phrased but it’s exactly what’s happening. Themickey gave us the back story as to why. Your contribution to the debate was totally wrong. Your attempt to spin this in your favor is laughable as you engage in the same activity daily on these boards, spinning narratives to fit your agenda.
Maybe you need to read the mainstream articles on the subject. Trying to make this look like the military is going around rousing out people in the middle of the night and transporting them to camps --- like the Nazis did to the Jews is absurd. Yet this is the propoganda you are pushing from Zero Hedge -- complete with fabricated quotes.
Please point to where the ZH article mentions any if what you say. That’s total projection on your part. And truth be known your dark wishes.
Go search on the quotes in the article -- find a source which is not an extremist website like ZH or InfoWars for them.
The important part of this article outlines how a small study is showing that Covid boosters may be longer lasting. This aligns with earlier research that having the time between the first two shots be greater than four weeks may provide anti-body levels. (Note the first part of the title about a chewing gum medicine & text is not included below). Booster shot protection may be longer lasting https://www.reuters.com/markets/eur...ad-booster-shot-protection-may-be-2021-11-22/ Protection against COVID-19 from an mRNA vaccine - either the Moderna (MRNA.O) or Pfizer (PFE.N)/BioNTech shots - may last longer after the booster dose than after the original two-shot regimen, researchers speculated based on the results of a small new study. They measured vaccine responses before and after the boosters in 33 healthy middle-aged adults who had received their second doses an average of nine months earlier. Before the boosters, their antibody levels had decreased about 10-fold from levels early after their second dose. By 6 to 10 days after the booster, their antibody levels had climbed 25-fold and were five times higher than after two doses of the vaccine, according to a report posted on Sunday on medRxiv ahead of peer review. In the volunteers who had COVID-19 before being vaccinated, antibody levels after the booster were 50-fold higher than after their infections. "Because these antibody levels are so robust, the booster could potentially give us protection for a longer duration than what we saw for two doses of the vaccine," study coauthor Alexis Demonbreun of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, said in a statement.
Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine was 100% effective in kids in longer-term study https://www.statnews.com/2021/11/22/pfizers-covid-19-vaccine-was-100-effective-in-in-kids-in-longer-term-study/ Pfizer and BioNTech announced Monday that their Covid-19 vaccine was 100% efficacious in preventing infections in 12- to 15-year-olds, measured from seven days to four months after administration of the second dose of the vaccine. The companies said the new data — a longer-term analysis of a Phase 3 trial conducted in 2,228 participants — will form the basis of an application to the Food and Drug Administration for an extension of their Covid-19 vaccine license to cover youths in the age group. “These are the first and only disclosed longer-term data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of a Covid- 19 vaccine in individuals 12 to 15 years of age,” Ugur Sahin, CEO and co-founder of BioNTech, said in a statement. “The growing body of data we have compiled from clinical trials and real-world surveillance to date strengthen the base of evidence supporting the strong efficacy and favorable safety profile of our Covid-19 vaccine across adolescent and adult populations.” The longer-term analysis of the Phase 3 trial data showed no serious safety concerns over a follow-up period of at least six months after the second dose of the vaccine. The additional data “provide further confidence in our vaccine’s safety and effectiveness profile in adolescents. This is especially important as we see rates of COVID-19 climbing in this age group in some regions, while vaccine uptake has slowed,” Albert Bourla, Pfizer’s chairman and CEO, said in the statement. The vaccine has been in use in this age group since May, when the FDA extended the emergency use authorization for the vaccine to cover 12 to 15 year olds. In August, the vaccine, which the companies market under the name Comirnaty, was the first of Covid vaccines to receive a full license for individuals, 16 years of age and older. The companies said they will also use the data to pursue regulatory approvals in other countries where the vaccine has been granted emergency use. The Phase 3 data saw 30 Covid infections — all in the placebo arm. Efficacy was consistent across race and ethnic demographics, gender, and underlying illness status, including obesity, the companies said.
Once again let's outline the facts.... the Australian government is providing accommodations for "Aboriginal people unable to quarantine at home." If the people have an appropriate place to stay to quarantine then they can go home after testing. Many of the Indigenous live in sub-standard housing, live in crowded dwellings or have no home. How many ways do we need to explain this before it sinks home. SA Health plans regional quarantine camps for Indigenous close contacts https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11...ps-south-australia-indigenous-covid/100644212 Health authorities in South Australia are racing to organise quarantine "camps" for Aboriginal people unable to quarantine at home. A tender issued by SA Health this week sought companies able to manage facilities in regional centres like Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, Renmark and Mount Gambier in the event of an outbreak. "It has been identified that facilities would be required for the quarantining of persons who would otherwise be unable to home quarantine due to their living circumstances," the tender document stated. The sites, which are "currently being identified", are expected to be available from the end of November until June. The tender said only contractors who could take control of and prepare the facilities with 24 to 48 hours notice would be considered. The tender process opened on Monday and will close on Friday. Cabins for close contacts The tender called for the provision of health services like daily COVID-19 testing and "camp services" including food, waste management and cleaning. The successful contractor would also have to provide translation and cultural support, including printed material in different languages. "Some Aboriginal communities' sociocultural practices may place them at higher risk of transmission because they involve mobilisation and participation in communal cultural activities," the health document said. Despite repeated warnings over more than a year, a COVID-19 outbreak took hold in Wilcannia in August. Many were unable to isolate because of overcrowded housing. Authorities in New South Wales eventually sent in a fleet of motorhomes, but not before the town's outbreak became the worst per capita in Australia. Two-week quarantine expected The facilities would house close contacts for 14 days, according to the tender. Under a loosening of restrictions on Tuesday, only unvaccinated close contacts must quarantine for 14 days — vaccinated people are only required to isolate for seven. Earlier this week health services expressed serious concern about the low rate of vaccination in some of SA's Aboriginal communities. In Port Lincoln, only 34 per cent of Aboriginal people were fully vaccinated. Ceduna's fully vaccinated rate sits at 36 per cent. 'Only the most vulnerable' In a statement, a spokeswoman for SA Health confirmed it was looking into regional quarantine facilities to allow for a rapid response to a COVID-19 outbreak. The vast majority of COVID-positive people will be treated in the home via virtual care, if needed, with only the more vulnerable cases – approximately 10 per cent of cases – requiring care in a quarantine facility," the spokeswoman said. According to the tender documentation, workers who test positive would be taken by bus to a medi-hotel. Any patients requiring assessment at a hospital would be taken to the emergency department at Berri, in the Riverland. Port Augusta Adnyamathanha elder Vince Coulthard said the camps were a "great initiative". "I'm just saddened by the fact that they knew the borders were going to open today and they only just called the tenders on Monday," he said. "It's something that should've been worked out long before this."
