Because if I find out I have cancer or get hit by a drunk driver, and the hospitals are full of unvaccinated covid patients they are probably unable to provide proper health care.Robbie1950 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 10:10 pmBy you being double vaccinated and me not being vaccinated at all how exactly am I compromising your health?

I'm not anti vax, I'm booked in for my first jab next week, however I am pro-choice and I maintain every Australian deserves to have a choice. But if they choose not to get the vax, then from a medical standpoint obviously priority should be given to those that have taken the vaccine who require ICU bed's before those who have covid and don't have the vax.4liters wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 9:04 pmI didn't watch the press conference but apparently 75% of the days covid cases were linked to the construction industry so clearly something needs to be done.
I guess if people don't want the mandates some sort of No Vax, No Ventilator policy might ease peoples' fears about hospitals getting overwhelmed with unvaccinated people.
Not once did I ever hear of someone going to get the flu jab to protect others.
We have finite health resources and if people, through their freedom of choice end up wasting them it is a big problem for the whole of society.
Again, I’m more than happy for people to live their truth and not get vaxxed, but when those choices affect everyone else it’s essentially on the same level as other anti social activities like drink driving.
