> I don't need your sympathy But you do need the sympathy or at least respect of the Australian electorate and by asserting obvious nonsense to the vast majority all you’re doing is empowering your opponents.

  If his legislators can exempt themselves, he should be afforded the same treatment. Do as I say not as I do isn't really a good political policy?

    > Do as I say not as I do isn't really a good political policy Government hypocrisy is a cliché and isn't very notable above the din. The people that the OP need on their side will be focusing on the fact that vaccines are so obviously not "experimental" that have gone into billions of arms with historically massive studies preceding that and historically massive post-vaccine surveillance following it. The perhaps hypocritical government people will easily be able to label holdouts like the OP as ignorant, selfish, and politically motivated and that will ring true to the electorate, and for good reason.

      Here we have a textbook example of gaslighting. Dismissing victim's concerns as childish - check; dismissing victim's pain as irrelevant - check; logical manipulation in order to persuade victim that they are the sole source of their pain - check; creating impression that help and support is not available - check; that nobody can possibly agree or align with the victim - check. Whether it is intentional abuse, or the result of genuine delusion, does not matter. It is wrong thing to do in any circumstances. Unless the abuser already established that the person is prone to this kind of manipulation, the outcome will most likely be the opposite of what they intended. Be extra careful, people may react to gaslighting in completely unpredictable way.
