Well I don't know that every one that is refusing to get a jab is doing so for the same reasons, my point is that covid vaccine is just another of many vaccines people get and I don't see what the problem is with getting vaccinated.
Government mandates coercion, yeah OK I can see that but when was the last time we had a pandemic of of this magnitude ? It's been some thing that would have unimaginable a few years back, serious circumstances require serious measures. The lock downs we had was unprecedented and was what you would call Government mandate coercion
Are COVID-19 vaccines mandatory in Australia?
Vaccination for COVID-19 is voluntary – as are all vaccinations in Australia – and people maintain the option to choose.
https://www.health.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/covid-19-vaccines/is-it-true/is-it-true-are-covid-19-vaccines-mandatory-in-australiaPeople do have freedom of choice to refuse to get vaccinated but of course that means they may have to give up their job, not be able to travel and not attend various venues. QLD has had a huge surge in people getting vaccinated because vaccinated people will be very restricted in where they can go and do.
We already a similar situation with child immunisations, while you can refuse to have your child immunised there is a trade off
No jab, no pay
To receive the Family Tax Benefit Part A and Child Care Subsidy, your child needs to be up to date with their immunisation schedule or have a medical exemption if they are unable to be vaccinated.
https://www.pregnancybirthbaby.org.au/immunisation-and-vaccinations-for-your-childI am very much anti-authoritarian and there are rules and laws I completely oppose but not much I can do about it except avoid if I can and don't get caught LOL.
BTW I have not had a jab yet, more complacent than any other reason, not much chance of catching covid here in WA. But that will change when the boarders open up, when that happens covid will start spreading and those un-vaccinated are the ones most likely that will catch and spread it. So that will be a reason for me to get vaccinated but also I want/need to travel interstate and eventually overseas and will need to be vaccinated to do so
