Professor Mike Toole, Epidemiologist, Technical Advisor Know-C19 Hub at the Burnet Institute, joins Michael regarding the recent surge of COVID-19 global cases which threatens Australia’s vaccine exit strategy.

 

‘Two seemingly incompatible statistics were released last week.  The number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered worldwide reached 878 million and more than 832,000 new infections were reported.’

 

‘That is more than double the number reported just two months ago and the second highest on record.'

 

‘Without simultaneously adopting both widespread vaccination and public health suppression, COVID-19 will not be defeated by anyone.’

 

‘The longer we delay doing this, the longer COVID-19 will dominate the world’s health and economic status.’
