No Jab No Job

I work in health in another state and have looked after patients post vaccination with adverse effects and major adverse effects. Yet we too, have been told its mandatory.

The information sheets on these trial medications state clearly there is insufficient data for use in pregnancy, lactation and no information on long-term effects. Yet the government is happy to advertise the vaccines as safe for use in pregnancy/breastfeeding.

Thar data is still being collected. Why should Australia be a guinea pig. Israel is not doing so well with its high level of population vaccinated. If the vaccines are what they are cracked up to be, why the worry over the unvaccinated. You should have no worries apparently!

I am also surprised that the rates of influenza and deaths from influenza seem to be non-existent 2020-21. I also note that the Australian Bureau of Statistics dictates the recording of COVID-19 on the death certificate as “…all deceased where the disease caused, or is assumed to have caused, or contributed to death”. “Is assumed” i.e. how to skew the stats!

Guidance for Certifying Deaths due to COVID-19

This guide published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics is intended to provide some immediate guidance on how the new coronavirus disease strain, i.e. COVID-19, should be recorded on the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death. Examples are included in section 5 of this document.

The use of World Health Organization terminology COVID-19 or Coronavirus Disease 2019 should be certified on the death certificate. Terminology such as SARS-CoV-2 can be used but it must be clear that it is the 2019 strain of disease. WHO terminology is preferred.

The term “coronavirus” should not be used in place of COVID-19 or Coronavirus Disease 2019. This will introduce uncertainty for coding cause of death which may lead to under reporting in national statistics.

Existing conditions, especially those which are chronic in nature, that may have also contributed to death should be certified in Part II of the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death. Chronic conditions may include but are not limited to: coronary artery disease, COPD, diabetes, cancer or disabilities.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics assign codes from the International Classification of Disease 10th Revision to all conditions listed on the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO has issued emergency code U07.1COVID-19 to be assigned to all mentions of COVID-19 on the death certificate.

Due to the public health importance of COVID-19, the WHO have directed that the new coronavirus strain be recorded as the underlying cause of death, ie, the disease or condition that initiated the train of morbid events, when it is recorded as having caused or contributed to death.

Following the guidelines above will assist in the accurate coding of these deaths and the production of robust national mortality statistics.
