I might just be living under a rock down under, but I don't really get what's satirical about that news segment. Is it the lockdown whilst having low case numbers? Only one death in Sydney on that day? Just keep in mind Australia has, unfortunately, low vaccination (< 15%) due to low supply. The low case numbers are due to the sharp lockdowns. The sharp regional lockdowns are to contain the virus so the rest of the country stays relatively free of the virus. Things have been relatively "normal" outside of the lockdowns.

Low vaccination was because we backed the wrong horse (AstraZeneca) for the right reasons (more mature tech). When we had to about face, the alternates were not readily available. :-(

  What do you mean with "the wrong horse"? AstraZeneca is an effective vaccine and it's available as much as the others.

    You are right, AstraZeneca is an effective vaccine against COVID-19, but the extremely low instances of blood clotting have caused our regulatory bodies to limit its use to the over 60s. If you’re younger you can (and are highly encouraged to) speak with your health professional and still obtain it.
