Mater launches trial of combined COVID-flu vaccine

Mater Researchers in Brisbane are leading a trial of a non-mRNA combined COVID-19 and flu vaccine that will protect people who cannot have mRNA vaccines.

The Novavax vaccine that will be trialed at Mater is a protein-based vaccine that contains part of the coronavirus spike protein.

When injected, the immune system cells recognise the spike protein as a threat and begin building an immune response against it. There are currently no protein-based COVID-19 vaccinations available for use in Australia.

Professor Paul Griffin, Mater Director of Infectious Diseases, is the Principal Investigator of the clinical trial, and said that Queensland has just experienced a very significant influenza season – and that COVID-19 is still present in the community.

“We know that the majority of people are currently under-vaccinated against both influenza and COVID-19,” Prof Griffin said.

“We hope that providing people with the option of an approved combination vaccine will help with vaccine uptake as there will be no need for two jabs.”

“Making it simpler could have a very big impact.”

Only 559,000 Queenslanders received a COVID vaccination in the last 12 months, out of a population of 5.56m. More than 1.7m Queenslanders were vaccinated against influenza this year, some 400,000 less than during 2022’s free flu vaccination campaign.

Professor Griffin said the trial may benefit those who are [rightly] hesitant about mRNA vaccinations.

So they still convinced 10% to take it.

I have taken out my quercetin with zinc supplements ... together with vitamin D caps ... in preparation for the winter.  Ivermectin at the ready just in case.    Suppository on request for the assholes in the crowd.

The original version of COVID was highly lethal to people like me, especially because of my advanced age, but also because of other factors.  I got the original mRNA shot followed later by 2 boosters. 

Since then, as COVID became milder, I've began taking Vitamin D and quercetin and stopped getting boosters.

I've never had COVID, but interestingly, while I used to get the flu once or twice a year in spite of getting flu shots, since I started taking Vitamin D and quercetin I haven't had the flu either.  (I still get the flu shots).

[nonentropic]

I had the first to mRNA shots but had been taking Vit D 2000units for a decade or so.

Once the C19 came around learnt about Quercitin Zinc plus A, K2, B12. and have taken all since then.

I have never knowingly had C19 many around have and more than once I have not had a flu shot they are to all intents 6 months out of date so of limited value.

I get a cold if run down but just a sniffle for a day and no other ailments.

IVM is what I would like to try just to see how it would work The cat gets it flees why not me.

Virtually all farm stock get it. That is the biggest disgrace ever.

Are you sure? Genuine influenza is serious and debilitating.

I'm sure some of these cases I called flu were not genuine influenza and were just bad colds. I didn't get them officially diagnosed.  But, in any event, I haven't had a case in the last few years.

Visiting in-laws right now in Java Island, they lost an infant (flushed chest then died) and a 19 yr old in icu with heart problems. I know what I think and as for myself no politicized shots, thank you. I'll take my chances with the scary fake diseases.

Just had a visit from my cousin who is also visiting and he said "I worked for nasa and I'll always trust the science". I let that one ride, more power to him but caveat emptor.

The question is "Whose science?"

. Yes indeed, but I don't stand to gain enough personally to make debating it worthwhile

A local government body in Western Australia - Port Headland - had started the ball rolling on DNA contamination in COVID19 "vaccines" .... see letter to PM and the very well-researched PDF document listed below which includes medical specialist testimony:

This motion seeks to urgently address the serious health concerns related to synthetic DNA contamination in the Australian COVID-19 vaccines, and to ensure informed decision making for residents and health practitioners in Port Hedland and beyond.

Scary, fake (or semi-fake) diseases often come in political packages.  Could be religious packages too.  Any of those stand out over there?
