The law says, clearly, that if any sick person is incited against taking the vaccine (as well as other medical treatments), when current science says that would be harmful to the person, then that's illegal.
The author of this article says that the law is not making vaccine opposition illegal, because there's the qualifier that "a sick person" has to be convinced by your speech to not take it. The author is saying that any person that proposes that vaccine opposition is now illegal is lying.
What an Orwellian take. As an analogy, it's like passing a law making it illegal to maliciously yell "fire" in a crowded theatre. People read the law and say that now yelling fire in a theatre is illegal. This author says they're all liars, it's not illegal to yell fire in a theatre, because you could still do so in an empty theatre and not be breaking a law. Sure .. yes, you technically still CAN yell fire in a theatre, in that subset of circumstances, but there still is very much now a law that makes yelling fire in a theatre illegal.

Nobody would be able to prove that not to be the case and the" anti-vaxer" that the government doesn't like can then be prosecuted with no defence. This is clearly government over-reach and designed to target anyone that doesn't follow their narrative.
