19 Aug: New Daily Australia: ‘It is not going to be compulsory’: Morrison flip-flops ‘mandatory’ vaccine push
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has walked back his comments on the coronavirus vaccine being as “mandatory as you could possibly make it” just hours after making the initial claims.

On Wednesday morning, Mr Morrison took to radio stations and TV programs across the country on Wednesday morning to spruik his government’s agreement with drug maker AstraZeneca that it hopes will make the British manufacturer’s COVID-19 vaccine available for free to Australians, if it is approved for human use.
“I would expect it to be as mandatory as you could possibly make it,” he told Melbourne radio station 3AW.
“There are always exemptions for any vaccine on medical grounds, but that should be the only basis.

But by 5pm, the Prime Minister has changed tact and said on Sydney radio station 2GB “it is not going to be compulsory to have the vaccine”.
“What we want to achieve is as much vaccination as we possibly can.”...
At least 90 per cent of the population would need to be immunised against the coronavirus for a vaccine to be effective...
“I was the minister that established ‘No jab, no play’, so my view on this is pretty clear,” he said.

Parents who do not immunise their children risk losing family tax payments and access to childcare subsidies.

Later on Wednesday, 3AW’s Facebook page was flooded with comments opposing the vaccination.
“This is Australia, a democracy county (sic), you can’t make people have it,” wrote one follower.
“Who is he to say what we put into our bodies? How do I know what will happen to my kids in a few years time if they have the vaccine? Not going to risk it, sorry,” wrote another.
“So Australians will be the human trials?” wrote a third. “I research and look for reviews on all products I buy or consume. There will be no data on this vaccine because of the fast-tracking to be first. Will not be forced into guinea pig status so he can make a dollar.”

All of the 12 deaths confirmed on Wednesday were linked to aged care (in Victoria). They were five men and seven women, aged from their 70s to their 90s...

whether or not there were more than 12 deaths in total for all Australia today, who would know. the obsession is with cases, and I can’t be bothered searching further.
