Coronavirus spreads. But don't panic! (topical thread)

[SYZ]

This is a little... no, very concerning.

Melbourne anti-vaxxers arrested as hundreds rallied in Australian capital cities on Saturday,
although Victorian chief health officer Brett Sutton says "fervent anti-vaxxers" are a "small
minority".  Sutton’s comments follow an Australian National University study that found
"significant and substantial" increase in hesitancy since the same people were asked about
getting the vaccination in August 2020.  The study found more than one in five Australians
indicated they would "probably" or "definitely" not be vaccinated against coronavirus.



Demonstrators in Melbourne voiced conspiracy theories and rallied "against mandatory
vaccinations", an idea that has already been rejected by the federal government and health
experts. Many protesters carried placards that read "my body, my choice" and "we don't
need no vaccination, we don't need no crowd control".    (Double negatives anyone?)
