Here’s @ProfRobBooy’s personal immunisation record. #ACE22NSW

New wave at the moment, we need to surf it (with protections in place). #ACE22NSW

Novel variants much more catchy.

Genomics is key.

#ACE22NSW

#ACE22NSW

Bats and genomics.

#ACE22NSW

Covid lab link theory largely debunked now by genomics.

Wet market much more likely.

#ACE22NSW

Death rate in Au in 2021 was 10x less than UK/USA. 2022 different:

Covid deaths. #ACENSW22

Covid deaths in children in Au, was virtually non existent. However some deaths now due to larger numbers with covid. Kids under 1 at highest risk. #ACENSW22

Hybrid immunity (vaccination plus infection) is best. #ACENSW22

Boosters are important because of the sub-variants. #ACENSW22

You can get re-infected with omicron within as little as one month,

#ACENSW22

Omicron specific boosters. #ACE22NSW

Trump got steroids, oxygen, anti-virals. #ACENSW22

Two Presidents with Covid. #ACENSW22

PBS scripts for oral covid19 Australia.

#ACENSW22

Game changers, oral treatments for covid. #ACENSW22

Treatment for the 2% who don’t respond to vaccination. #ACENSW22

No one in sage until we are all safe.
