Australian State Plans To “Lock Out” Unvaccinated While Florida Doctor Refuses To Treat Them
From Australia to the shores of the Sunshine State, pressure is growing on the unvaccinated, as another doctor has decreed that she will no longer treat unvaccinated patients, a decision she insists is “entirely consistent with her Hippocratic Oath”, while the premier of the Australian state of Victoria has announced plans to “lock out” all unvaccinated people from the state’s economy.
Victoria, which, like much of Australia, is still living under draconian lockdown restrictions, with residents of Melbourne (who make up the vast majority of the state’s population) abiding by a 2100 to 0500 curfew while being prohibited from leaving their homes except to work, buy groceries, or get a COVID vaccination. But when the state’s lockdown is finally lifted on Sunday after more than 2 months the lockdown is lifted, Premier Dan Andrews said on Sunday, future restrictions will apply only to those who are unvaccinated.
The state is on track to hit 70% of its adult population having received their first vaccine dose by Sunday, at which point the premier has promised to loosen restrictions – but only for the vaccinated.
“There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated,” Andrews stated. “We’re going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.”
He added: “If you’re making the choice not to get vaccinated, then you’re making the wrong choice.”
The premier didn’t say what kind of services and venues unvaccinated people would be locked out of, but he said that once Victoria reopens, “it’s not going to be safe for people who are not vaccinated to be roaming around the place spreading the virus.” – READ MORE
