The fact that if you have a family member die from the vaccine and the government turns around and says bad luck but that’s not a good enough reason to get an exemption…Well then the whole thing is $@&^# up.

The medical exemptions are prescribed by ATAGI, not Dan, and reported to the Australian Immunisation Register. They are very specific and limited. Having a family member die from the vaccine isn't grounds for exemption although it would be very good reason to not want to have it.

Having said that, I'm not aware of anyone dying in Australia from pfizer or moderna, so get one of them.

As Stui said they are very limited in what they allow for an exemption and they explicitly said severe reactions in family members was not an acceptable reason.

There have been plenty of deaths from sudden heart issues following Pfizer vaccinations though, they can't say they definitely didn't contribute.

On reactions, does anyone else still get a sore arm from their vaccination, 6 weeks later? It isn't ongoing, just random, but the site of injection is still very often sore to touch.

Official word from the big boss today, once we hit 90% vaccinated then most people must return to the office full time.

Those who are not required for the core business requirements can do a 3/2 office/wfh but the expectation is by end of January everyone is back full time.

Dan can mandate that for the state public service but not for the rest of the state. If he thinks he can, he can get 4Nik8ed

Just following up on the Singapore position of charging non vaccinated people for critical health care, I am totally opposed to that. That's not how we work here.

We have a no fault universal health care system, we don't discriminate based on life choices.

Alcoholic, smoker, junkie, lousy diet, anti vaxxer etc etc, doesn't matter, you show up to an ED you get treated, no charge. End of story.

If 2 people need a transplant the most viable gets it! If 2 patients needs a ventilator and a non vaxed by choice is one of them, then he/she should miss out.
