Oddly enough, while the shelves were nearly stripped of toilet paper at my local Woolworths, the shelves were pretty much full at my local IGA across the road from that Woolies. IGA even had plenty of rolls of one brand at half price.
Since State Governments across Australia don't distinguish between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated in terms of closing borders and applying the same restrictions to the vaccinated as the unvaccinated, I get the distinct message that they don't think the vaccines work. Which is in sharp contrast to the Federal Government that wants to open up the country to international visitors next year.
And don't forget - most of the elderly and other high risk people have been vaccinated across Australia - so why the lockdown? For the vast majority of people, COVID-19 has little or no effect. This isn't a year ago, so if the vaccines work, it makes little sense to impose hundreds of millions of dollars of cost on the community, to protect the at-risk recalcitrant few who don't want the vaccines for reasons like they believe the vaccines contain nano-robots, which record every detail of their lives for governments to peruse.
