Covid-19: In Australia, all the “fully vaccinated” will become “unvaccinated” unless all state-mandated booster shots are accepted

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Authoritarian Premier Daniel Andrews of Australia’s Victoria state has announced that people who are “fully” vaccinated against Covid-19 will remain so only if they agree to receive all current and future booster vaccinations.

In a presentation, Andrews explained that there will be no freedoms for the “unvaccinated” in 2022, and by “unvaccinated,” he also means people who no longer receive new injections.

“If you decide not to vaccinate and you think you can wait, you’re not going to wait until the virus is over because the virus is going to be here for a long time. And the only protection against it is vaccination,” he claimed.

“It’s going to be here well into 2022,” he added.

Regarding those who have received one or two doses, Andrews added, “Then we’re going to have problems with booster shots, so it’s not going to be [just] the first or second dose, it’s going to be a third, and more, and then the other problem is going to be, well, who knows what variants are going to come.”

Those classified as unvaccinated are excluded from society and cannot participate in economic and social activities.
