At the time of Covid my youngest son was suffering from Stage 4 Melonoma. As you know we live out in the bush where interaction is scarce. Anyways we had to drive 7 to 7.5 hours to Sydney for his treatment at the Mater Hospital to 'save his life'. (which happened over the years).
To access accomodation, fuel, food and drink when we got to Sydney and return we had to prove we had the received the obligated 2 vaccinations. So we complied (In the short term - 6 weeks). Simply, if I didn't have the vaccination, I couldn't enter a service station to pay for fuel. I couldn't enter the hospital to be with my son (like any good dad). I couldn't purchase food and had to sleep in the car. So I made sure I filled up plenty of bottles of water from the home water tank. Made sandwiches and snacks and travelled with those.
Then I wasn't allowed to work? So, forgive me, in that interim we all had the obligatory vaccinations, to provide for and save my sons life.
Now, if not for the circunstances as outlined above we wouldn't have got the vac.
I mentioned this as above on another site a few years back. The response was very negative because I 'Succumbed". And as much as I tried to define the situation I just got negative responses. Sorry but it was survival. My son lived through his trauma, still receiving annual treatment but he is productive and healthy.
If we had no vacs we could've have lived out here quite easily. But our son was dying so eff anyone that critises our reasons for following Gov.
Did it prevent Covid I have no idea as we never suffered it. Home tests daily bought from the pharmacist always negative. Someones made big dollars.
My regards,
Bally.
