![]() ![]() ![]() If I weren’t already vaccinated, I would have refused on principle. The city of Melbourne officially holds the title of the most locked down city on the planet… I work for a state health dept which just got mandated vaccination orders where lack of compliance = very short path to getting fired (and getting fired from the gov in Oz is typically hard work…). Which is why our governments (state and fed) have pushed farther than some totalitarian countries in the ridiculous endeavour of zero covid. We’re a country of jailers and convicts, some trying to rule, most just trying to live and happy to ignore politics as much as possible. Australia has always had a strong authoritarian streak in government, and an apathetic streak in the voting public. “I think what we have insisted on is we’re not just going to subcontract out people’s freedom and livelihoods to some health bureaucrat like Fauci, who quite frankly doesn’t care about your jobs, doesn’t care about your business, and has no regard for how his policies affect people’s everyday lives,” DeSantis said.Īs an Australian, I agree with De Santis. The initial “15 Days to Slow the Spread” from March 2020 has turned into waiting for vaccination rates to reach a high bar. Anthony Fauci has been a frequent target of DeSantis’ criticism. His critiques of President Joe Biden have helped him emerge as a front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination should he choose to run. The fact that that’s even a question tells you something has gone dramatically off the rails with some of this stuff.”ĭeSantis has garnered national attention throughout the pandemic for opposing pandemic-fighting policies that could impact personal freedoms, from lockdowns to mask and vaccine mandates. Is Australia freer than communist China right now? I don’t know. “In fact, I wonder why we would still have the same diplomatic relations when they’re doing that. It’s not a free country at all,” DeSantis said. Speaking at the International Boatbuilders Exhibition in Tampa on Tuesday, DeSantis lamented the strict pandemic approach from one of the United States’ closest allies. ![]()
