"One of the biggest parades", nearly 10,000 people attended on Saturday!
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Australia's friends have witnessed large and small parades.
While protesters chanted "freedom,"
Many people watch them not wearing masks and not doing protection,
They all expressed concern and tiredness.
Just yesterday, about 10,000 protesters opposed to vaccination poured into Canberra, and three more were arrested.

Protesters heading to Canberra have been gathering in the capital for the past two weeks.
After yesterday morning's march, 10,000 people reached their final goal —
The main focus was on the Parliament Building.
Due to the multitude of marchers, so much so that on the grass between the old Parliament Building and the Parliament Building,
And the lawn of the National Mall, there are dense crowds.
In the pictures of the scene, we see the protesters standing shoulder to shoulder,
Next to it, individual heads and flags covered the entire avenue.
Journalist Jennifer Bechwati tweeted,
"This is one of the largest parades I have ever seen".

On the spot, a man suddenly broke through the fence, ran outside the area and was arrested.
The police quickly pushed him to the ground.
According to police, two others were also arrested during the protests.
A spokesman said: "A man driving a truck through a barricade has been charged with multiple crimes and two men have been detained for disrupting a peace march."
Police estimate that as many as 10,000 protesters moved along Commonwealth Ave and gathered in Federation Mall.
A spokesman said: "The crowd performed well overall."
There are fears that protesters may enter the children's "Superhero Day" vaccination campaign at the Australian Sports Institute clinic.
But police said that did not happen in the end.
A spokesman said: "Police remind people camping at Canberra's Exhibition Park,
They had to leave the venue by Sunday to ensure preparations for the Royal Canberra Exhibition could take place. ”
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison had earlier said Australia was a "free country".
Protesters have the right to express their views, but he asks them to do so in a "peaceful and respectful manner."
He told reporters in Sydney: "The federal government only supports decrees relating to elderly caregivers, people with disabilities and those working in high-risk situations in the healthcare system.
The mainland government only supports tasks recommended by the Panel of Medical Experts and our Chief Medical Officer nationwide.
All other vaccine-related orders are issued unilaterally by the state government. ”
Morrison also said,
The mortality rate in Australia is almost the same
The lowest of all the countries in the world.
"We have one of the strongest economies in the world to fight COVID-19.
We have a high vaccination rate of 95 per cent of our population over the age of 16 – which guarantees australia's safety. ”

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese asked the protesters to "go home" quickly.
"It's not going to drive any cause, and if you think that's the way to win support in Australia, I think it's a big mistake," he said.
I think these people need to go home and think about the facts outside:
The truth is that if you are adequately vaccinated, you are more likely to avoid Getting Covid.
The truth is, if you're really covid-19 and you're fully vaccinated, you're less likely to have a serious acute health problem, and if you're adequately vaccinated, you're less likely to die. ”
This Saturday's march has come to an end,
People also have different evaluations of this activity of nearly 10,000 people.
I can only pray that this mass parade will not cause any large-scale contagion!

With the popularity of the new crown vaccine in Australia,
Not only is the double dose vaccination rate getting higher and higher,
There are also more and more Australians participating in the vaccination of booster injections.
According to the latest data from the Federal Government,
As of Feb. 10,
The two-dose vaccination rate of people over 16 years old in Australia reached 93.9%,
Booster vaccination rates are rapidly approaching 50%.
Across Australia, 9,727,513 people aged 16 and over were vaccinated with more than two doses of the vaccine, of whom 173,062 were given boosters in the last 24 hours.

Among them, the Australian Capital Territory has the highest increased vaccination rate, reaching 62.62%.
It was followed by Victoria (51.21 per cent) and Western Australia (50.42 per cent).
The Northern Territory had the lowest rate of enhanced vaccination at 42.24 per cent.
As of 10 February, the number of people vaccinated by state and territory is as follows:
Health Minister Greg Hunt noted that Australia's enhanced vaccination rates are "at the global leading level".
However, there are reports that some vulnerable groups , including nursing home residents, people with disabilities and residents in remote areas ,
There are also many difficulties in receiving the booster needle.
So, Australia still has a long way to go in this regard.
Official Warning: Vaccine may expire after 4 months!
At present, although the Omicron epidemic in Australia has eased, it is still not to be underestimated.
Recently, the Australian Immunization Technical Advisory Group (ATAGI) warned that
The effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine will drop from 80% to zero in just 4 months.
This requires everyone's attention even more.

It is reported that the effectiveness of Pfizer or Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines is likely to decline rapidly in a short period of time.
If a person is only given two doses of the vaccine,
Its protection against viruses
It can be reduced by 50% in just 120 days.
Moreover, the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine in preventing hospital admissions at this time also dropped to 52%.
The recommendations suggest that the initial effectiveness of 36% to 88% may drop rapidly to 0 to 34% around 4 months after receiving the second dose.
ATAGI recommends giving a booster injection 3 months after the second dose.
ATAGI says that for symptomatic infected people,
Vaccination of boosters appears to restore a "moderate" level of protective efficacy (71% to 76%).
In addition, the study found that vaccination with boosters increased the effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing hospitalization to 88%.
AtAGI wrote in a statement, "The first two doses of the vaccine, along with booster shots, will provide protection for individuals from contracting the Omicron variant or avoiding hospitalization for infection."
It is expected that the strengthening of the needle will also increase protection against asymptomatic infection, which should help prevent the spread of the virus, thus providing a layer of indirect protection for the wider population. ”
At present, the Australian Immunization Technical Advisory Group (ATAGI) has announced that
From the end of March 2022, Australians over the age of 16 who receive 3 doses of the vaccine,
Then their vaccination status will be considered "up-to-date".
If the booster injection is not given 6 months after the second injection, it is considered "overdue".
Although the national cabinet does not mandate a third dose for people engaged in important work, nursing staff in nursing homes will be required to receive a booster injection or face dismissal.
Recently, the news that the definition of "complete vaccination" has been banned has caused mixed reactions online.
In the future, the term "latest vaccination status" will be the "new vocabulary" that accompanies our lives.
Netizens had a heated discussion on the Internet:
One netizen said: "Due to my low immune function, I have received three doses of the vaccine and I am looking forward to getting a fourth dose next week.
Just like the flu vaccine, you have to get it once a year.
Some people's objections are as if a higher dose of the vaccine has other disadvantages than maintaining immunity— and they don't know how the vaccine works anymore. ”
Morrison noted in a statement on Thursday that the latest recommendations from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (ATAGI) could affect vaccination certificates used to enter certain venues and workplaces.
AtAGI said in its statement that the implementation of these recommendations will be left to the states and territories.
The rules vary from state to state and territory,
Some states, including NSW, Victoria and WESTERN AUSTRALIA, already require:
Workers in certain fields such as medical care
Vaccination of booster needles must be mandatory.
"The ATAGI acknowledges in its recommendations that the latest status definition of vaccines may affect the status of an individual's immunization certificate and should be set aside time to support policy changes," Morrison noted. ”
Paul Griffin, director of infectious diseases at Mater Health Services, pointed to the public's hesitation about the presence of reinforcing needles.
Griffin said, "The change in vaccination recommendations has undoubtedly laid the groundwork for follow-up vaccination, but many people worry about having to be vaccinated every three or four months, but this is not the case."
I think many people feel that it is impractical and unworkable to renew it every three or four months, and it is unlikely that it will be required to do so. ”
"I doubt we might end up getting vaccinated once a year,"
He said that while experts have to wait for data on the immune durability of boosters, the "frequency" of regular vaccinations in the future will be much lower.
He added that when a fourth dose is needed "really depends on the spread, the level of protection and the new variant".
Health authorities must better communicate these issues to alleviate public concerns, he said.
"We've all seen that after three injections, we're still infected, so some people don't want to get vaccinated.
So the point is that we want you to understand that although you may still be infected,
However, continued vaccination reduces the likelihood of infection and significantly reduces the likelihood of severe illness. ”
NSW Governor Perrottet said he was very confident in NSW's ability to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Perrottet said that despite the challenges, the NSW government has taken the right approach to covid-19.
But he also acknowledges that this approach may not always be popular.
"I know this will cause concerns in the short term, but in the long run, it's the right thing to do."
As the epidemic gradually stabilizes and the rate of increased vaccination,
I believe that we can gradually find a balance, fight the epidemic, and move forward steadily!
