Thanks Peter. I had my second AZ a few weeks back, and there was no pain, no reaction, and no trauma (I've had saline drips which were worse). I'm now a vaccinated, low risk person. Despite that, I'm totally isolated from my immediate family, who are all interstate and unvisitable - ALL of them. My freelance work has totally evaporated because of knock-on effects from pandemic isolation. So I'm healthily unemployed.
And who might have contributed the most to disinformation, hesitancy, and sickness/deaths globally and locally? Why, the profit motive of my own industry. My passionate home of 50+ years. Businesses for whom I gave my all as an engineer and creative and volunteer and standards-maker. Wow. Don't I feel suitably rewarded!!
