Right.

And I think when you understand that framing, that reference framing, it actually can inspire a lot of confidence.

And I saw one of the co-inventors of the rotavirus vaccine, Paul Offit, was quoted in some American media this week saying, in the history of vaccines, side effects have always appeared within two months of administration.

There's never been a case where a couple of years down the track, they pick up something that wasn't picked up

initially, which I found really interesting because that is one of the big sticking points, I think, for a lot of people.

For sure.

And one last question, another COVID-related question from David, who's asking about influenza numbers and what the numbers this year and last year tell us about the effectiveness of vaccines versus restricting international travel, and is wondering whether once COVID vaccines roll out more broadly, whether we're going to have to choose a trade-off between managing COVID like we manage the flu, where there are deaths and lots and lots of cases each year, or not travelling internationally but keeping close to zero fatalities?

Also on diabetes, could a new class of drugs slash the number of people with diabetes who go on to need dialysis or kidney transplants? voice-verified

That's GP Dr. Sam Hurd, Medical Director of the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, ending Sarah Seji's report. voice-verified

And staying with diabetes, renal dialysis costs tens of thousands of dollars a year per patient. voice-verified

And as we just heard, the condition it treats, end-stage kidney disease, is commonly caused by diabetes. voice-verified

Now a group of Australian researchers has modelled whether a new class of drugs could stave off end-stage kidney disease, saving lives as well as money. voice-verified

The drugs are called sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors, or SGLTI2Is for short, and they're a shift away from simply managing blood glucose, which is how diabetes is generally treated now. voice-verified
