It Had To Happen
Well, it’s finally happened.
Some Arabic doctor in Sydney is screaming “racism” because the NSW Police are patrolling ‘multi-ethnic suburbs’ warning people about the rules of the lockdown! (Only one fine issued, just warnings!)
I reckon if that’s an example of racism, then so is the vaccine rollout.
Remote Aboriginal communities (with minimal chance of contact with the virus) are receiving priority shipments for everyone over 16, while supposedly ‘top priority’ elderlies in nursing homes are still waiting.
But we’re not allowed to call that racism or we’re buried in criticism.
Regards & God bless,

It well may be a doctor calling Racism,I would not want to be a patient of his if that's his view of life.

Re: It Had To Happen
Questioning this bit Ray? As far as I understand it, the only elderly in nursing homes not vaccinated are the ones who refused it or it was refused by the person who has the legal power to make decisions for them if they are deemed no longer capable ..... It is the age care workers that have the problem and it seems to be restricted to those working in the private sector because they can't afford to take the time off to get vaccinated ...... something the govt should address immediately ...... vaccination can't be made mandatory, but that would be easily worked around by refusing to employ anyone not vaccinated .....Greynomad wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 9:16 am

I see it as racist complaining about the remote aboriginal communities getting priority for the vaccine .... it's not like they have a major hospital or care workers that could handle an outbreak in these places .....

And, from what I've read they're more prone to catching it and will get sicker when they do. A trait that is apparently shared by the original inhabitants of other countries. I have some First Nation people in my family back in Canada and that report comes from them.

Re: It Had To Happen
If I was to be in a hospital now I would be asking all the people that came into my room if they were vaccinated? if they said no then I would tell them to go away. After what I have seen during these last couple of years in hospitals I have every right to be concerned. I do let the admin dept aware of my concerns, I have had replies from 3/3 places and they also thanked me for letting them know.

Re: It Had To Happen
QED
T1,
NOTE: I said remote aboriginal communities. They are highly unlikely to come into contact with the virus. I think they should wait their turn with everyone else. White people working on remote stations have to.
Urban aborigines? I have no quarrel with them being vaccinated (according to medical advice) along with the rest of the population.
Regards & God bless,
Ray

Re: It Had To Happen
Problem is you have to find somewhere to get vaccinated, 48 year old son's doctor claims he has no vaccine & at present he can't find anywhere to make an appointment for the jab, hopefully when the new centre opens in the old Bunnings complex at Belmont, NSW, he'll be able to get it.
We're due to get our second jab on the 18th July.

What is the matter with people that don't have the brains to not do the right thing and stay home, if they want to kill themselves that is their choice but do it at home and give the smart people that do have brains be able to live life without fear.

Re: It Had To Happen
Dot, its because some people are smarter than everybody else, and refuse to do what they are asked. And when they don't get their own way they play the racism card or scream police state or nanny state or similar. And it isn't just in Australia either. It is happening in many multi cultural countries all over the world.

With you on that one, Shirley!Shirley wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 7:30 pm Problem is you have to find somewhere to get vaccinated, 48 year old son's doctor claims he has no vaccine & at present he can't find anywhere to make an appointment for the jab, hopefully when the new centre opens in the old Bunnings complex at Belmont, NSW, he'll be able to get it.

SWMBO couldn’t get a jab at home (not a regular at the clinic with the vaccine!), 3 week wait at Temora, 4 weeks at Charleville… asked at Condobolin Aboriginal Health Clinic: “Sure. We’ve got plenty here. Come by in 2 hours.”
Done & dusted. What does that tell you?
