The vaccinated should self-isolate for 14days.
They are shedding the toxic ingredients into their community.
Healthy food, cleanliness, exercise is your best amunity.
My god where are the brains in these people. They should read history books about past pandemics and thank scientists for past and present work. These people would not be alive today but for them. Read the facts about vaccines.
No cure for stupid
Enjoy staying home – forever, as that is what awaits the unvaccinated. The shedding bit is completely wrong btw.
Amunity? What’s that?
I have tried for 3 weeks to get vaccinated. 30 day waits but can’t make appointment for a week as full, phones cut out after waiting 15 minutes, medical centres say no new patients, health site says fill in this form for eligibility and then redirects to Sydney vaccinating centres. Is this a joke? Wyong hospital impossible, Gosford hospital no communication, Eastlakes medical centre phone drop-outs, can’t get onto Belmont. This is seriously bad. It’s a joke and impossible. I’ve rung everywhere that says vaccines available
Try a chemist
Jeanette please go to wadalba, there is a very small hub there just up from sams bakery where they do vacs
My friends made appointments and were vaccinated in a couple days. Good luck
Try a chemist.! Simple
If you’re having trouble getting the vaccine, try chemists , I called when I finished work one afternoon and was told to come straight in
