1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,199
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda Therapeutic Goods. Administration has

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: approved the release of Maderna for Australia. There'll be some time,

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: I think before we actually get it in our arms.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: What's happening is that there's going to be enough doses

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: for five million Australians. This will be arriving September October.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: They put it through some tests and things like that,

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: but we will be getting Maderna to add to our

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: arsenal as. They say, it's all good information. Now I've

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: had the old astro, but that's okay. Double dose. What

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: they're saying, you've got Astra, you've got Pfizer. They just

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: wanting to put more into the mix. Brett Sutton, the

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: Chief Medical officer in Melbourne, has said, see the gray

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: headed guy that everyone seems to be perving on a

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: little bit. He said his arms, He had his shirt

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: arms to get a vaccine. I don't want to sexualize

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: him because that's not what we do with our chief

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: medical officers. To be tat on his arm. A tattoo, Yeah,

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: a doctor with a tattoo. Apparently there's a lot It's.

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Like a doctor riding a motorcycle, but a.

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: Tattoo is not dangerous for you. Writing a motorcycle is

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: Talk to Charlie Tea. He's a brain session and he

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: rides a motorcycle.

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: There you go.

24
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Has he got tats? I think Charlie Tea has got tats. Well, anyway,

25
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: back to this, he has said the best vaccine is

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: the one that you can get in your arm as

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: soon as possible. So this will just mean that we

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: have more of them, I guess. So the Maderna is

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: like PHISA in that it's a I want to say NRMA,

30
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: but it's the mRNA. Astrazenica is developed along one way

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: ye Phizer and Maderna mRNA. And I saw this fantastic thing.

32
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: It's gone viral. This is a woman from the States.

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: He name's Catherine O'Neill. She's an infectious diseases expert, doctor

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Catherine O'Neill, and she explained, I thought, very plainly, why

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: it's important that we all get vaccinated, and just how

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: amazing it is that we have access to these vaccines.

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: Everybody thinks it's not going to be me. I'm really healthy,

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: it's just not going to be me. Unfortunately, the delta

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: variant has proved us wrong. This year's virus holds on

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: more taylely and affects you more deeply, and is making

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 2: young people sick. We all need protection for ourselves because

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: more of our age group will become severely ill, and

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: most importantly, because when you get vaccinated, you spread it less,

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: and when you spread it less, you in the surge.

45
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: Unvaccinated people are the reason for variance. Mutants occur because

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: of uncontrolled spread. When you get vaccinated, not only are

47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: you healthier, but you decrease the spread. There are so

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: many people have said that this vaccine's too new that

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: they don't want to take it because it got developed

50
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: so quickly. It's really interesting as a scientist to hear that,

51
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: because nothing that we do is quick. We all gave

52
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: each other high fives. Couldn't believe the success of a

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: person's lifetime of work with mRNA vaccines ready just in

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: time for the pandemic. When I think about preparing all

55
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: those years with mRNA vaccines, which are fifteen to twenty

56
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: years in the making, I think about elite athletes who

57
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: work their whole lives to get to the national championship

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: and play the best game of their lives. They have

59
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: been practicing and working every single day. And that's what

60
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: this COVID nineteen vaccine is. We have been working for

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: decades to make sure that when we had a pandemic,

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: we took it out of our back pocket and we

63
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: said we're ready. We should be proud of this. We

64
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: should be proud of you. You have been waiting your

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: entire life to contribute to your community, and today's the day,

66
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: get your vaccine. There you go.

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: Powerful, isn't it. It makes sense absolutely? And that's the thing.

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: If we're scared of new variants, there's Delta, there's other

69
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: ones will be on the way. But the more we

70
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: are vaccinated, the less those mutants can thrive. Jonesy and
