We should have an American emoji for corruption. You are so good at spreading it.
No sorry ofcourse it should be Johnson and Chumocracy.
I've always thought of this as the American emoji:

An excerpt from an ABC report, quoting Dan Andrews, the Victorian Premier:
Victoria to begin trial of locking out unvaccinated people from events
The Premier also hinted that people who had not been vaccinated would be essentially locked out of venues when Victoria's economy began to reopen.
"That might seem a bit harsh, but I've said this before and I will make the point again, I am not going to lock the whole state down to protect people who won't protect themselves" he said.
"I think if you are not vaccinated, and you could be, then the chances of you booking a ticket at a sporting event, going to a pub, going to all manner of different places, will be very, very limited."
He said the state would begin industry pilots "quite soon" to see how a system would work in practice. He suggested that would occur in regional Victoria, where restrictions are soon expected to ease

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance: Correlates in a nationally representative longitudinal survey of the Australian population
Abstract
Background
High levels of vaccination coverage in populations will be required even with vaccines that have high levels of effectiveness to prevent and stop outbreaks of coronavirus. The World Health Organisation has suggested that governments take a proactive response to vaccine hesitancy ‘hotspots’ based on social and behavioural insights.
Methods
Representative longitudinal online survey of over 3000 adults from Australia that examines the demographic, attitudinal, political and social attitudes and COVID-19 health behavior correlates of vaccine hesitance and resistance to a COVID-19 vaccine.
Results
Overall, 59% would definitely get the vaccine, 29% had low levels of hesitancy, 7% had high levels of hesitancy and 6% were resistant. Females, those living in disadvantaged areas, those who reported that risks of COVID-19 was overstated, those who had more populist views and higher levels of religiosity were more likely to be hesitant or resistant while those who had higher levels of household income, those who had higher levels of social distancing, who downloaded the COVID-Safe App, who had more confidence in their state or territory government or confidence in their hospitals, or were more supportive of migration were more likely to intend to get vaccinated.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that vaccine hesitancy, which accounts for a significant proportion of the population can be addressed by public health messaging but for a significant minority of the population with strongly held beliefs, alternative policy measures may well be needed to achieve sufficient vaccination coverage to end the pandemic...

Bron probably fitted into that "low levels of hesitancy", because she was worried by the blood clotting thing. She talked to a good doctor, and other people, and then decided to get her first jab, a few weeks after me...

I favour Re-Education Camps for the unvaccinated.
The only way out is to be voluntarily chipped.

Unsupported claims. You have no evidence that it would work especially in Africa.

Can't figure out if you don't want people to get vaccinated or you don't want them to wear masks.
