    I’ve just had my second vaccine shot. But unfortunately, my 5G phone service did not immediately improve. How long do I have to wait?

    Based on my 16 years of University Education (including degrees in Medicine and Surgery, and Physics and Mathematics, and having done lots of Statistics electives) and the data of the last three years, I have booked my 5th COVID vaccination for Friday 18th March.
    Karl Stefanovic: “I’m concerned if I have another dose, I may get complications. I have seen reports of fit healthy people just dropping. It’s not established whether the vaccine causes some of the heart issues but it’s more a worry than getting Covid.” news.com.au/entertainment/…

    Triple Vaccinations worked really well. I didn't die, get Ventilated in Intensive Care Unit, or even get really unwell. I had 3 days of feeling off-colour, and needing Nanny Naps. I shudder to think of how my body would have responded to SARS-CoV-2, if I had NOT been vaccinated.
    @doctorkarl ABC poster boy tests positive for Covid after triple vaxxed. Thank goodness he had the vax he says. It worked well.

    The WHO warned the world to set up specific dedicated Pandemic Units. Singapore did. Australia did not (and also fired one quarter of the scientists at CSIRO)

    The current bushfires in Oz are a result of long-term Global Warming. The treatment/fix/cure will likewise be long-term. You can't treat a disease caused by a lifetime of bad health decisions in 10 seconds.
    A simple questn to climate change champions. Could you please explain what action we need to take to stop the fires. How would renewables stop the fires? How would ceasing mining stop them? How would electric cars? How does locking up national parks solve it? Knock yourselves out

    Is this person really an elected Federal politician in Australia, in 2020?
    CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a clean, odourless, colourless gas, vital for the health of our planet and vital to our very existence. Plants and trees absorb CO2 and release oxygen. We need oxygen to breathe and exist #auspol -my speech in the Senate tiny.cc/nnonkz

    I finally worked out why my 5G access did NOT improve after I got vaccinated. The reason? Too many other people in my area already vaccinated (and using up all the bandwidth). I am hanging out for the Booster (before everybody else gets it)

    ( 1) too slow 2) does NOT integrate well with solar & wind, which already supply 32% of our electricity 3) too expensive (twice the cost of wind/solar 4) solves a problem that we do not have)

    40,000 lost University jobs? 80 coal mine jobs? Which is most important for the future of Australia?

    I think that Andrew Bolt has called me a Scientific Fraud about half-a-dozen times (something about Climate Change) and called for my removal from the ABC a similar number of times. I am sorry to hear that your family is subject to his bullying.
    Andrew Bolt has come after my sister three times in one week alone and I worry he may prematurely blow a gasket discovering there are three more siblings where we came from.

    We already have all the technology needed to stop and reverse climate change. We just need different politicians
    Replying to @DoctorKarl
    The thing with terraforming other planets to make them habitable is, if we had that technology, we should use it on earth to stop it becoming uninhabitable.

    Sometimes, there are NOT two sides. For example, the Earth does orbit the Sun, vaccines are overwhelmingly safe, and we humans caused this current episode of Global Warming
    We’re not dealing with opinion here where it’s about finding common ground between different subjective perspectives. Believing the truth is in the middle is skewing data with ignorance. If a mathematician says 2+2=4 and a shock jock says 2+2=6, the real answer isn’t 5.

    In Buenos Airport, the **free** WiFi is over 400 Mb/s! In Mongolia and Tibet it was 175Mb/s. How did we end up with 2-10 Mb/s in Australia?!?!?
