Why no C19 vax for children in Australia? Last year, ACIP reported 58 deaths in infants ages less than a year, 44 deaths in children ages 1-4 years and 81 deaths in children ages 5-19 years. 50% of children hospitalised with COVID had no underlying health conditions. www.cdc.gov/acip/evidenc...

I thought I'd check the Australian Immunisation Handbook to see why children can;t get a COVID vaccine. immunisationhandbook.health.gov.au/recommendati... A typo shows failed effort to explain the change. Hyperlinks for "risk outweighs benefit" go nowhere. It's been like that since May 2.

journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... Interesting study of a new mask that uses UVC to kill 99.9% of pathogens rather than fine filters. Needs some further refinement but the main points are that the UVC really works and they are much more comfortable than N95s.

Australia is terribly vulnerable too. We rely on US weapons and it's going to get worse if the submarines ever happen. I can imagine Trump or his sequel saying give us your minerals or we stop supplying parts for your subs/fighters/aircraft carriers (if not turn them off).

During the peak years before vaccines (late 1940s to early 1950s), there were typically 15,000 to 20,000 cases of paralytic polio annually in the USA. By the 1970s, polio was eliminated in the U.S., with no indigenous cases reported since 1979. The iron lung industry might make a comeback.
