By Monday, teachers and other education staff, as well as those in the health and disability sectors, must have had at least one dose and be fully vaccinated by January 1. It has led to workers in key workforces – such as teaching, mental health, and midwifery – walking away from their jobs rather than get vaccinated, as well as protests over the mandates. The mandates already apply to border workers – and there is high public support for them in the education and health sectors. …how outrageous to play to the paranoia of these antivaxx lunatics, but by doing so Seymour gives them political cover and will harvest their vote just as he did with the gun nutters . Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
