The sad part of this narrative, including cursory information both from this article and what mainstream outlets report, is the notion that only a certain racial subset of the country is "unvaccinated". I'm vaccinated and I find it troubling that so many, especially those in my minority demographic, still cite invalid information as a reason to not become vaccinated.
Even as a member of a minority group, the notion that we'd deny healthcare to any group of people especially when there's a connotation of race (yes, even if the narrative is meant to be against uneducated poor white people) is fundamentally wrong.
The feigned empathy for the unvaccinated is down right appalling in this country. One day, we're cheering that white trump supporters are dying en-masse from covid. And now, the calls to continue draconian measures until an overwhelming percentage of people are vaccinated is basically criminal.
This is obviously going to be downvoted, but it's time to really think about what choices we make now could lead to in a not so distant future. If Australia is what 5 years into the future holds, I'm not too interested in remaining in this country.
