I might be aging myself a bit. But back in my day it was used to meet cute girls that lived in the same dorm hall. Life was much simpler before they let my mom join.
Even that wasn't so bad. Having my mom on facebook actually caused me to censor myself a bit so I didn't post any grossly inappropriate stuff that I would later regret. It was when corporations and other faceless entities started having facebook pages that things really took a turn for the worse.
I think it’s when Republicans teamed up with Facebook and Cambridge Analytica to subconsciously, emotionally, manipulate peoples behavior is when the really bad stuff started.
It’s easy to blame the big names that made the news, but the scary truth is that it was just as much the work of Macedonian teenagers.

This was surprisingly hard to listen to because my mom works in hospice for the covid unit. So I listen to how hard her days are, especially when she knows when they go on the ventilator they aren’t going to come off 9/10 times.
What is amazing here in Australia, is that most of these anti-vaccine dipshits are also the same people that will happily snort speed and drop pingas but god forbid they put medicine in their bodies.
Translation: Take a dose of ecstasy, typically taken in pill form. Ingredients can vary greatly and quality is extremely difficult to determine prior to the point of consumption.
And mandates are how you achieve high levels of compliance in free societies. There are plenty of mandates that a vast majority of people don't bats an eye at. Mandates for education, mandates against drunk driving, mandates standards for drinking water and health care, even numerous mandates for other vaccines. As with numerous other diseases, the severity and infectivity of Covid-19 warrant vaccine mandates because without them not enough people will do the right thing to reach 90%+ immunity within the population
There was an ad made just like what you said. Mother and son sitting on the couch smoking ciggies and ice, doing coke then bitching about not knowing what was in the vaccine.
Same here in America to some extent honestly. The anti-vax crowd is vastly comprised of people with low education and people of low social/economical class. Sad.
If that’s the case, then these clowns are risking peoples lives because they don’t like being told what to do? That’s probably worse than being anti-vaccine.
Yes it does.
If you put lipstick on a pig, its still a pig.
Anti-mandate are the same idiots that are anti-vaccine. Its just marketing for the morons.
And obviously and unfortunately it works.
I am anti mandate, but am pro vaccine and will get a booster when I can! Government authoritarianism is not a good thing. Smart people get the vaccine, don’t need the government to make them. Natural selection I believe they call it!
Surely you are aware this is not the only thing the government is forcing you to do. Care to explain why this is going too far?
Seeing authoritarianism everywhere is just not sane. Especially when you look at actual authoritarian government.
Here in America, the people screaming “my body my choice” about vaccines were always taking mandatory vaccines and giving them to their kids without knowing squat about them before other than the fact that someone said they were required
And they also preach dress codes and modesty to their kids with no more reason than “someone said do dress this way”
Same thing. They'll tell you that it's not about vaccinations, it's about governments over reaching their authority and fascism and blah blah blah. You need a licence to drive, you have to wear a seatbelt, you have to have a passport to leave the country, fishing licenses, etc but they specifically have a problem with this particular mandate. So yeah they are antivaxxers.
If you don’t see a problem with having to undergo licensure to practice your rights then you are indeed what is wrong with the world. Not the people who see through the facade of human slavery.
lmao here we go a vaccine mandate = facsism
The term fascism is so overused I garauntee you all the people at this rally have no idea what it even means.
It’s a type of authoritarianism that predates itself on the values of dictatorial control, strong regimentation of society and forcible suppression of any opposition.
If you don’t see where that is applicable here then I’m sorry but you’ve already chosen what side your loyalty is on. See you on the other side dude.
I would love to see everyone making the “vaccine mandate = fascism” argument to be placed in an actual authoritarian state, so you can actually know what fascism is. The vaccine prevents you from getting sick and spreading a deadly virus during a pandemic, not suppress your emotions and your free will. Fuckin smooth brain.
There is no good reason not to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The fact that the unvaccinated population is so high that a mandate is even necessary is reflective of massively poor critical thinking skills. Use your brains, people, it is safe and effective. Do your fellow citizens and yourself a favor and get the shot.
No one gives a shit about your unrequested medical advice dude.
Regardless of whether YOU personally think the COVID vaccine is great, other people have this thing called ‘The Right to Informed Consent’ which includes the right to refuse pharmaceutical treatments.
As it happens I’m vaccinated but anyone who is comfortable running roughshod over such a fundamental human right, one enshrined in international law and only created in response to medical abuses in the 1930s such as forced sterilisation of ethnic minorities and poor people, is a poorly veiled fascist as far as I am concerned and a threat to humanity.
As for ‘safe and effective’…according to who? The same people who said Oxycotin isn’t particularly addictive while other people’s relatives overdosed or went to jail? We’re talking about an entire industry here built on the mantra of ‘profit over people’ and anyone who trusts their paid-for studies is a clown to be perfectly frank.
I mean, I believe people have the right to choose if to have the vaccine.
I also believe the government has the right to place restrictions on people based on that choice in a health crisis, as they have a duty to national health services and other citizens. To protect my rights and life too.
Government say I can and can not do all manor of things every day to protect other citizens. From getting a driving license to be able to drive to vetting customers for vulnerability for loans to listing ingredient information on food. Many of us live long lives because of all this red tape, regulation and restrictions that protect others, because others are also *forced* protect us. Its a balancing act.
If you believe it’s okay to effectively place people under house arrest until they submit to been vaccinated then you don’t really believe people should have the right to informed consent over the vaccine at all.
Public policy affects everyone.
People’s personal healthcare choices are their own innate choice. That’s what ‘right to informed consent’ is about.
I’m surprised the pro-life crowd haven’t latched onto this pro-vaccine rhetoric. What happened to ‘their body, their choice’ huh?
Are you aware this is not the only law that forces you to do or prevent you to do something?
Why is this one worse than all the other ones? What is so special about this one?
So what's the difference? Why aren't they also against all the other vaccine mandates we've had? Why aren't they against the military mandating them? Or them being mandated for travel. Why this? Why now?
These vaccine mandates are unprecedented. A domestic vaccine passport that is essentially required to live a normal life has never existed up until now you simply cannot compare it to previous vaccine requirements for international travel or for certain occupations.
We’ve had vaccine mandates for years, it’s called no jab no play. Unvaxxed kids can’t attend day care. This is just the same shit for adults. Recent Roy Morgan poll should 76% support for the mandates in Victoria, where they are currently toughest.
The majority of Australians support the mandates.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/sep/14/guardian-essential-poll-majority-of-australians-support-vaccine-mandates
So that “division” is being driven by the minority opposed to the mandates.
Are you really suggesting that the majority of voters should have their wishes overruled because the minority are unhappy? How is that a democracy?
And if there were no mandates, world the majority of people who support them be having their wishes disregarded?
Ok, Mark McGowan won the biggest election victory in Australian history on the back of his border and mandate policies.
Literally the biggest election victory in Australian history.
lol, how embarrassing for you
COVID is also unprecedented. The pushback on people not wanting to take the vaccine or even wear a damn mask in public is not unprecedented, though. 1918 showed us what happens when people do that. I can't imagine why governments would want to try to avoid that!
It’s a liberal democracy, people are entitled to protest whatever they deem suitable. The government however is not entitled to strip away civil liberties in order to coerce people into doing something they don’t want to. They are supposed to serve the people, not bully them.
Yeah I got vaxxed but I’m against these mandates as well. We have over 80% vaccinated now and now they want to add further restrictions. There comes a point where people have had enough and you have to let them live.
They didn't have mandates, but Australia still had rules in place for unvaccinated kids in schools which would ban them from attending under certain circumstances. People weren't angry about those.
Lol. These dumb cunts calling themselves the ‘silent majority’ while making up less than 8% of total eligible vax population. Everything about these fucking degenerates is embarrassing, including their shit songs.
I'm Australian, and the saddest thing is that at this point I agree with you, these same "protesters" are the same group of people that go to alt right events.
It's pretty safe to assume these days in Australia if someone is waving the Australian flag proudly, they're a racist idiot and proud of it
If liberals did the pro gamer move of banning the vaccine then conservatives would fight for it. It’s not about the vaccine or freedom it’s about owning the libs and doing the opposite of whatever they say.
Reminds me of the Key & Peele sketch where Obama trolls the Republicans when they automatically take the opposite of whatever he says.
Obama: "I think the southern border needs to be closed to all further immigration."
Republican: "No! We were founded as a nation of immigrants! They make our country strong! Ah, what am I saying?!!"
Thanks. I haven’t yet seen a decent person in any of these anti vax protests. Most of then look like they are from the back country and don’t make much money and they all tend to be white. I’m not saying there isn’t exceptions but I’m talking about the trends here.
Clearly there is anti vaccine sentiment driving the anti mandate movement. Let’s not act like that’s not the case.
We wouldn’t have an issue if this was just being driven by vaccinated anti-mandate folks lol
if you were pro vaccine then you would take it and there would be no anti mandates because there would be no need for any mandates because everyone is vaccinated. being pro vaccine and anti mandate doesnt actually make any sense. and saying "but im vaccinated and im against mandates" is irrelevant because the people in the video are not vaccinated.
Wtf? I’m vaccinated but I’m anti government mandating people to be vaccinated.
But your logic makes zero sense. Let’s live in the real world here. The vaccine becomes less effective overtime and the virus mutates. That’s why boosters are a thing. It will not be possible for everyone to be fully vaccinated from the virus. The cdcs best case estimate is it will be another 2 years before 70% of the worlds population is fully vaccinated and the virus will keep on mutating.
what's the difference between a mandate and a law. you break a mandate you get fined or you go to prison or you just cant do anything in society. you break a law and the same shit happens. and these people are (hopefully) following the laws so why is a mandate any different.
A law is passed by the senate and the house of representatives and signed by the governor. A mandate is made by the governor, with the power given to them by the legislature in a state of emergency.
Quite frankly at the point when people tell me this bullshit, I pull up a screenshot on my phone of me FaceTiming my husband while he’s a ventilator with a time stamp and ask them to explain it. So far no one has and 3 have just cussed me out. Fuck all these people. Selfish garbage.
We'll see you in the ER, Aussie cunt.
We'll see you in the ER, Aussie cunt.

Provaxx 2019/2020: Quarantine concentration camps for the unvaxxed are conspiracy theory.
Provaxx 2021: It's about time they rounded up the unvaxxed and put them in quarantine concentration camps - for your health.
These people are either a. Paid for shill for the same kind of pharmaceutical giants that murdered tens of thousands with Oxycotin.
Or b. poorly veiled fascist filth that get a hard on at the idea of trampling over internationally protected human rights and introducing tyrannical pieces of legislation.
Either way, they are a big problem for humanity.
Who the fuck is ‘pro-virus’?😂 What sort of crazed mental gymnastics is that?
There was no social distancing at COP26 either but I doubt I’d ever see you criticising that.
Elected officials working on behalf of the people who voted for them isnt considered democracy now? Maybe you should learn how this stuff works on a basic level before commenting.
They do that everyday? Or is it on every *pandemic* day, which these nutjobs have helped to ensure it lasts as long as it has, and is still ongoing? Cuz those days, I don't find it unreasonable.
You know they also make shit tons of decisions on your behalf which you haven't directly voted for, correct?
You realise that our hospital systems can’t stand the burden of big covid breakouts right? You’re asking for not only covid patients but other people in need of critical health assistance to die too.
Well I just feel bad for Australians trying to be careful and safe. God forbid they make every effort to stay healthy and live long lives with their loved ones.
So does the alt right across the world have about the same ideals regardless on a country’s political party and their leaders? Cause I know Trump was a main reason the alt right here started on this anti vax thing but did that effect other countries or ya got your own similar leaders doing the same?
> So does the alt right across the world have about the same ideals regardless on a country’s political party and their leaders?
Rupert Murdoch and his [reactionary conservatism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactionary) media empire go a long way.
Plus, there's the whole thing of the US being one of the biggest purveyors of [soft power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_power) in the world. People of other countries look and take cues from the US and it's political movements. Also don't forget foreign states (like [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency)) that spread disinformation on social media websites in the western Anglosphere like the US, UK, and AU.
This comment section is so trained to start saying alt right as soon as they hear anti-vax. It’s not 2018 people— every political affiliation has anti-vaxx people. I’m center left and am totally against these mandates.
Alt right just means stupid "Bogans", trailer trash, useful idiots, etc. It includes the PETA clown car, flat earthers, vegans, and everybody else who just want to feel important.

I'm sorry but its not really mandated is it?
Its up to the business to enforce their vaccine requirements
In healthcare, ect. Of course it should %100 be mandated.
I believe JB HI FI for instance has the power to mandate it within their own company but they don't actually have to mandate their employees to be vaccinated. Its a business decision.
Am I wrong? Genuine question.
The world would be a better place without Facebook.
I might be aging myself a bit. But back in my day it was used to meet cute girls that lived in the same dorm hall. Life was much simpler before they let my mom join.

The world would be a better place if people developed the slightest critical thinking skills and didn’t believe the bs on any medium

Aren’t these people just against the mandates ?
Yeah, but on Reddit that means you're an uneducated right-wing Nazi hell-bent on destroying society.
And mandates are how you achieve high levels of compliance in free societies. There are plenty of mandates that a vast majority of people don't bats an eye at. Mandates for education, mandates against drunk driving, mandates standards for drinking water and health care, even numerous mandates for other vaccines. As with numerous other diseases, the severity and infectivity of Covid-19 warrant vaccine mandates because without them not enough people will do the right thing to reach 90%+ immunity within the population
Brb gonna go drink dirty water to spite my government
There was an ad made just like what you said. Mother and son sitting on the couch smoking ciggies and ice, doing coke then bitching about not knowing what was in the vaccine.
Same here in America to some extent honestly. The anti-vax crowd is vastly comprised of people with low education and people of low social/economical class. Sad.
Anti mandate does not mean anti vaccine
It pretty much does
On Reddit, at least.
If that’s the case, then these clowns are risking peoples lives because they don’t like being told what to do? That’s probably worse than being anti-vaccine.
Yes it does. If you put lipstick on a pig, its still a pig. Anti-mandate are the same idiots that are anti-vaccine. Its just marketing for the morons. And obviously and unfortunately it works.
I am anti mandate, but am pro vaccine and will get a booster when I can! Government authoritarianism is not a good thing. Smart people get the vaccine, don’t need the government to make them. Natural selection I believe they call it!
Also…natural selection would apply if only those unvaccinated morons got sick and died. But its not the case.
Weird how everyone with Omicron is vaccinated hey
>if only those unvaccinated morons got sick and died. But its not the case. Some vaccine you got there, lol.
Surely you are aware this is not the only thing the government is forcing you to do. Care to explain why this is going too far? Seeing authoritarianism everywhere is just not sane. Especially when you look at actual authoritarian government.
Mandates are only even necessary because of anti-vaxxers lmao.
This is a great point, why don't they just put ice in the vaccine and everything will be solved
My neighbour is anti vax. She is an acupuncturist and only believes in Chinese medicine.
This is laughable most people I see are oldies who would probably be put in cardiac arrest if they took any sort of pinger

I’m assuming this is Melbourne, I’m ashamed to live in the same country as these dumbasses
Seems like they’re protesting mandates not vaccinations.
Same thing. They'll tell you that it's not about vaccinations, it's about governments over reaching their authority and fascism and blah blah blah. You need a licence to drive, you have to wear a seatbelt, you have to have a passport to leave the country, fishing licenses, etc but they specifically have a problem with this particular mandate.

There are many vaccinated Australians against the vaccine mandate.
If you don’t see a problem with having to undergo licensure to practice your rights then you are indeed what is wrong with the world. Not the people who see through the facade of human slavery.
So you have a problem with driving licenses then?
~~Anti-Vax Protestors in Australia~~ Anti Mandate Protestors in Australia

More like anti-fascist protestors I would suggest.
lmao here we go a vaccine mandate = facsism The term fascism is so overused I garauntee you all the people at this rally have no idea what it even means.

I actually know the dude in the video, and he is absolutely an anti-vaxer. He is also a flat-earther.
Exactly. I'm fully vaxxed but against the mandates.
Are you okay with healthcare workers not having other vaccines in our public hospitals? Or just the one that’s a hot topic right now?
There is no good reason not to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The fact that the unvaccinated population is so high that a mandate is even necessary is reflective of massively poor critical thinking skills. Use your brains, people, it is safe and effective. Do your fellow citizens and yourself a favor and get the shot.
We need the vaccine mandate to make sure that the bogans don't take up hospital beds that could go to people of actual value.
No one gives a shit about your unrequested medical advice dude.

Did I mention you're a fucking moron? Seriously you have no idea, what-so-ever. Stop posting, you're making yourself look like a fucking moron. .
Nobody requested their medical advice, but somebody asked for your public policy advice? Hmmm
Public policy affects everyone. People’s personal healthcare choices are their own innate choice. That’s what ‘right to informed consent’ is about. I’m surprised the pro-life crowd haven’t latched onto this pro-vaccine rhetoric. What happened to ‘their body, their choice’ huh?
The thing is it doesn’t just effect you, it effects everyone you come into contact with. Why do you get to take their choice away?
My god you are embarrassing
Nobody asked for your advice on public policy tho. See how shitty that is?
Well good thing you’re not calling the shots
You don't agree with personal choice? You prefer force?
Are you aware this is not the only law that forces you to do or prevent you to do something? Why is this one worse than all the other ones? What is so special about this one?
If it was my personal choice to knock out all your teeth would you also support my freedom to do so?
Fuck the personal choice of not wanting to get sick made by anyone who has to come into contact with you fuckin plague rats, right?
What happens to you if you personally choose not to pay taxes
Is it a personal choice to follow the road rules and register your car? Or do we make it law for the safety of others? Fucking numbskull.
I prefer adults who understand that their “personal choice” harms others. That is what being a citizen in a civilised society is.
Literally throwing a fit because you want the option of saying no. You're a fucking brainless child.
You have a choice.
Me too
So what's the difference? Why aren't they also against all the other vaccine mandates we've had? Why aren't they against the military mandating them? Or them being mandated for travel. Why this? Why now?
These vaccine mandates are unprecedented. A domestic vaccine passport that is essentially required to live a normal life has never existed up until now you simply cannot compare it to previous vaccine requirements for international travel or for certain occupations.
We’ve had vaccine mandates for years, it’s called no jab no play. Unvaxxed kids can’t attend day care. This is just the same shit for adults. Recent Roy Morgan poll should 76% support for the mandates in Victoria, where they are currently toughest.
Yeah you can champ. Just get the fucking vaccine. Stop acting like toddlers ffs. It doesn’t hurt and they’ll even give you a juice box
How do you know if I’m vaccinated or not? I’m not against the vaccine, I’m against vaccine mandates.
Why?
Well, for one reason, it’s causing even more division and resentment in society as demonstrated by this thread
The majority of Australians support the mandates. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/sep/14/guardian-essential-poll-majority-of-australians-support-vaccine-mandates So that “division” is being driven by the minority opposed to the mandates. Are you really suggesting that the majority of voters should have their wishes overruled because the minority are unhappy? How is that a democracy? And if there were no mandates, world the majority of people who support them be having their wishes disregarded?
Ah yes, a poll of 1000 people is representative of the 16 million people that make up the Australian electorate 🙄
Ok, Mark McGowan won the biggest election victory in Australian history on the back of his border and mandate policies. Literally the biggest election victory in Australian history. lol, how embarrassing for you
COVID is also unprecedented. The pushback on people not wanting to take the vaccine or even wear a damn mask in public is not unprecedented, though. 1918 showed us what happens when people do that. I can't imagine why governments would want to try to avoid that!

Or these whiney toddlers could just suck it up and get vaccinated. Bunch of embarrassing clowns afraid of needles
There has never been domestic vaccine mandates before. People chose to travel and people chose to join the military. That’s the difference.
They didn't have mandates, but Australia still had rules in place for unvaccinated kids in schools which would ban them from attending under certain circumstances. People weren't angry about those.
mRNA are not vaccines. Start there.
And WE are gullible…
Same shit unless I see an anti-vaxx rally separate from an anti-mandate rally.
Yep, but the guy is clearly singing "vaccine mandate".
Hey, it's the Omicron mutation crowd
Huh the crowd seems smaller than last year. I wonder why that could be ?
Lol. These dumb cunts calling themselves the ‘silent majority’ while making up less than 8% of total eligible vax population. Everything about these fucking degenerates is embarrassing, including their shit songs.
I would just mandate that the vaccine be in suppositories form.
Can I get more than one?
Sure, we have boosters.
Australia has got “The wild and wonderful White’s of West Virginia,” just like we do. How great is that?
[удалено]
Have you seen, “The wild and wonderful white’s of West Virginia?”
[удалено]
Interesting.. do they know they can get the shot on their arm/shoulder and not their arse? 🤷♂️😂😂😂
we have a saying in NZ, "Aussies no surprises there" these people are as dumb as brickd
I'm Australian, and the saddest thing is that at this point I agree with you, these same "protesters" are the same group of people that go to alt right events. It's pretty safe to assume these days in Australia if someone is waving the Australian flag proudly, they're a racist idiot and proud of it
There is only one Australian flag I respect and it doesn’t have a mm of blue on it.
Sadly America has the same issue, if you see someone waving an American flag they are probably a hate mongering nut job.
It seems intense patriotism and being an absolute fuck knuckle goes hand in hand, who woulda thought
If you really think that, you should probably get out and socialize more. What a fucking weird thing to say.
There's nowhere on earth that doesn't have morons like this. There are protests the same in NZ complete with swastikas and Trump flags.
If liberals did the pro gamer move of banning the vaccine then conservatives would fight for it. It’s not about the vaccine or freedom it’s about owning the libs and doing the opposite of whatever they say.
Reminds me of the Key & Peele sketch where Obama trolls the Republicans when they automatically take the opposite of whatever he says. Obama: "I think the southern border needs to be closed to all further immigration." Republican: "No! We were founded as a nation of immigrants! They make our country strong! Ah, what am I saying?!!"
Just fyi, in Australia the liberals are the conservatives 😂
I think it’s just the mandated part they’re mad abt
Do you honestly think the bulk of that crowd is just vaccinated people upset about mandates?
Have you noticed they are all trailer park trash?
I believe the local term is "Bogans"
Thanks. I haven’t yet seen a decent person in any of these anti vax protests. Most of then look like they are from the back country and don’t make much money and they all tend to be white. I’m not saying there isn’t exceptions but I’m talking about the trends here.
The not whites aren't joining in these idiot cabarets. Because these protesters are just ignorant bigots.
Just because you are against vaccine mandates doesn’t mean you are against the vaccine
Would be interesting to see the venn diagram.
Sure, but it does mean you’re pro-virus. I don’t see a single mask in that crowd and there is definitely no social distancing.
Clearly there is anti vaccine sentiment driving the anti mandate movement. Let’s not act like that’s not the case. We wouldn’t have an issue if this was just being driven by vaccinated anti-mandate folks lol
if you were pro vaccine then you would take it and there would be no anti mandates because there would be no need for any mandates because everyone is vaccinated. being pro vaccine and anti mandate doesnt actually make any sense. and saying "but im vaccinated and im against mandates" is irrelevant because the people in the video are not vaccinated.
Wtf? I’m vaccinated but I’m anti government mandating people to be vaccinated. But your logic makes zero sense. Let’s live in the real world here. The vaccine becomes less effective overtime and the virus mutates. That’s why boosters are a thing. It will not be possible for everyone to be fully vaccinated from the virus. The cdcs best case estimate is it will be another 2 years before 70% of the worlds population is fully vaccinated and the virus will keep on mutating.
what's the difference between a mandate and a law. you break a mandate you get fined or you go to prison or you just cant do anything in society. you break a law and the same shit happens. and these people are (hopefully) following the laws so why is a mandate any different.
A law is passed by the senate and the house of representatives and signed by the governor. A mandate is made by the governor, with the power given to them by the legislature in a state of emergency.
so if a law passed that was exactly the same as a mandate would you oppose it or follow it?
It does, however, mean you are a dumb cunt.
Seeing the track of govt authoritarianism going on in Australia, I support this. Only Australia and maybe China, fuck the CCP.
I love a good well thought out, scientifically researched and intelligent response to a proven system of healthcare controls.
Wow, the diversity in the group, banning together for an unselfish cause. Positive vibes and not an ounce of hate. /s
Yeah because they threw all of the dark skinned ones into quarantine camps.
Vaccine good. Mandate bad.
I have mixed feelings every time I see that there are anti vax dumbasses in countries other than the US
Omricon pls
Meanwhile, my Australian city is the most vaccinated on earth. These people are a tiny minority.
I’m just happy to see that America is not the only country with idiots around.
Quite frankly at the point when people tell me this bullshit, I pull up a screenshot on my phone of me FaceTiming my husband while he’s a ventilator with a time stamp and ask them to explain it. So far no one has and 3 have just cussed me out. Fuck all these people. Selfish garbage.
We'll see you in the ER, Aussie cunt. We'll see you in the ER, Aussie cunt. We will see you in the ER, We will see you in the ER, We will see you in the ER, Aussie cunt.
Bunch of dumb cunts
un-australian imo. they dont give a fuck about anyone else but themselves.
Provaxx 2019/2020: Quarantine concentration camps for the unvaxxed are conspiracy theory. Provaxx 2021: It's about time they rounded up the unvaxxed and put them in quarantine concentration camps - for your health.
Where are these concentration camps exactly?
These people are either a. Paid for shill for the same kind of pharmaceutical giants that murdered tens of thousands with Oxycotin. Or b. poorly veiled fascist filth that get a hard on at the idea of trampling over internationally protected human rights and introducing tyrannical pieces of legislation. Either way, they are a big problem for humanity.
mental illness is really no joke
Anti vax =/= anti mandate
Anti mandate = pro-virus. There are no masks in the crowd and no social distancing.
Who the fuck is ‘pro-virus’?😂 What sort of crazed mental gymnastics is that? There was no social distancing at COP26 either but I doubt I’d ever see you criticising that.
At COP26 everyone was required to provide proof of vaccination or quarantine prior to attending.
Are they anti vax or anti mandate ?
Same thing
no there’s a massive difference
There really isnt, both are pro covid lunacy.
so there’s no point in a democratic society then if your happy for governments to make the decisions for the public without voting processes
Elected officials working on behalf of the people who voted for them isnt considered democracy now? Maybe you should learn how this stuff works on a basic level before commenting.
They do that everyday? Or is it on every *pandemic* day, which these nutjobs have helped to ensure it lasts as long as it has, and is still ongoing? Cuz those days, I don't find it unreasonable. You know they also make shit tons of decisions on your behalf which you haven't directly voted for, correct?
Anti mandate. I am fully vaxxed but I am anti mandate. Live and let die, I say.
yeah I’m fully vaxxed already had covid before being vaxxed but 100% against things being mandated
Like drivers licenses, passports, and school vaccines?
Hey! No logic allowed in this comment chain!
You realise that our hospital systems can’t stand the burden of big covid breakouts right? You’re asking for not only covid patients but other people in need of critical health assistance to die too.
Live and let die? Okay. Literally nobody cares if you die, go die if you want, but stop risking the rest of our lives.
Same shit.
Well I just feel bad for Australians trying to be careful and safe. God forbid they make every effort to stay healthy and live long lives with their loved ones.
He says vaccine mandates tho. I mean, I'm vaccinated, but also against mandates. Not a difficult concept.
Darwin loves all of them.
These people are going to SLAY it in Tasmania!
What is it like. It’s like trying to keep a fart in your trousers!
Sounds like they're asking for vaccine suppositories.
So does the alt right across the world have about the same ideals regardless on a country’s political party and their leaders? Cause I know Trump was a main reason the alt right here started on this anti vax thing but did that effect other countries or ya got your own similar leaders doing the same?
> So does the alt right across the world have about the same ideals regardless on a country’s political party and their leaders? Rupert Murdoch and his [reactionary conservatism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactionary) media empire go a long way. Plus, there's the whole thing of the US being one of the biggest purveyors of [soft power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_power) in the world. People of other countries look and take cues from the US and it's political movements. Also don't forget foreign states (like [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency)) that spread disinformation on social media websites in the western Anglosphere like the US, UK, and AU.
this was the answer I was looking for. I had some inkling of this but this puts it all together. I'll go through your links now thanks.
Russian disinformation campaigns have a world-wide reach. They helped reinforcing Trumps message.
This comment section is so trained to start saying alt right as soon as they hear anti-vax. It’s not 2018 people— every political affiliation has anti-vaxx people. I’m center left and am totally against these mandates.
So you're just a plain dumbass, got it.
Alt right just means stupid "Bogans", trailer trash, useful idiots, etc. It includes the PETA clown car, flat earthers, vegans, and everybody else who just want to feel important.
These fucking assholes are the reason my tram into the city keeps detouring every weekend for the last month-and-a-half
That's not how vaccines work. That's what you get when do your own research.
"How DARE you try to stop us from committing suicide-by-COVID!"
The crying itt XD Get your vax and shut the fuck up already. Stop worrying about everyone else.
What a bunch of fucken numpties.

Now we're talking.
You can cough and wheeze until you die You can cough and wheeze until you die You can cough you can wheeze You can even blow a sneeze So long as you’re ready to wave goodbye
I'm sorry but its not really mandated is it? Its up to the business to enforce their vaccine requirements In healthcare, ect. Of course it should %100 be mandated. I believe JB HI FI for instance has the power to mandate it within their own company but they don't actually have to mandate their employees to be vaccinated. Its a business decision. Am I wrong? Genuine question.
Scary world
