A ‘globally significant’ bank of biosamples from a study into the immune effects of Covid vaccines is set to be destroyed, two years after the award-winning research project was defunded by the Queensland Government.

Intended “to better understand the short, medium and long-term impacts of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines in Queensland,” the QoVAX Safety and Efficacy Statewide Study boasted 10,000 adult participants across 86% of postcodes, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, generating over 100,000 biospecimens and 11 million data points.

“It’s a terrible example of research wastage and loss of a globally significant opportunity to realise benefits and generate knowledge through research based on the unique samples provided by the 10,000 Queenslanders who gave consent and participated,” Professor Davies, who heads up the Allergy Research Group at QUT, told Canberra Daily.

Fun fact: the Battle of Brisbane was actually just the local and US military servicemen having a brawl over women.

...and they say we're uncultured

#MastodonAU seems to be running a bit faster and snappier. Everything has been upgraded and rebooted, which is usually the way to fix most issues!

Feel free to @ me if anyone notices anything.

Since the LNP first introduced the draconian and outrageously dangerous Adult Crime, Adult Time legislation, Sisters Inside have spoken out against its inherent injustice

‘The Queensland Government cannot continue to ignore the fact that this punitive approach will only cause more harm. Evidence from around the world shows that treating children as adults in the criminal legal system increases recriminalisation and perpetuates cycles of violence and disadvantage. These policies are not about public safety—they are about political expediency, fearmongering, and the continued criminalisation of Aboriginal children,’ Debbie Kilroy

The QLD government confirmed the 2032 Olympic Games venues, which includes that new 63k-seat stadium in the middle of Barrambin / Victoria park.

Bruce Abernethy says:

"Barrambin has been a meeting place for peoples from across Southeast Queensland for tens of thousands of years; providing a new reason to gather there would continue that cultural tradition."

That's one way to turn an insult... into another one.

Oh this breaks my heart. #QLD finding the merest excuse to cut off access to gender affirming care to people at precisely the time it makes sense - puberty. I can’t get over the psychiatrist declaring a ‘side effect’ of gender affirming care is dysfunctional relationships with families. Why is that huh? Is that the fault of medicine?! #HumanRights #LGBTQ #Australia

****** QLD NSW Warning****

All forecast data currently has Tropical Cyclone Alfred crossing the SEQLD / NENSW coast with most saying a category 2 strength ATM. The current coastal crossing track margins are from Rainbow Beach to Byron Bay with the greater Brisbane area favoured - this may change yet so staying UPDATED is very important. From Wednesday onwards widespread severe impacts are likely with the system (especially across the Southern half) ranging from destructive winds, extreme rainfall up to 1000mm causing flash flooding with minor to major river and creek flooding. 7 meter swell with much higher peak waves causing significant beach damage and erosion along with inundation of low lying foreshore areas especially on high tides. Please be prepared not scared!

Additional

14.68 M 11.74 M waves recorded of Frazer Coast. Consistent Ave height 4.5 M.
