Health professionals are giving misinformation when they said we are in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”. The vaccinated can catch and transmit the virus just as much as the unvaccinated. In fact they may be more dangerous transmitters as they can be asymptomatic so they have no idea that they are even carriers. The unvaccinated are so due to medical conditions or choice, which is their basic human right. Are we now facing a new type of racism? Are we to have a water fountain for the vaccinated and another for the unvaccinated or is their segregation on the school bus because of private choices?

Let’s start looking at the pandemic of lock-downs and impact of children! How many children will grow up with PTSD as they can’t comprehend what is going on around them? How many children are self harming or contemplated suicide as bullying is more prevalent online where they are spending most of their time? How many Kindy and Year 1 children are behind on how to read or write? How many children are becoming aggressive as they are not free to play with friends and learn the art of social interaction without prejudice? How many children are now living on the poverty line as their parents no longer have a job due to choice of no jab? How many parents have just given up and let their children run their own schooling?

The impact of lock-downs and no school are far more destructive than the Covid-19 virus on the young. Now this is worth having a real discussion on.
