NSW introduces new law targeting anti-vaxxers as state records 304 new COVID-19 casesIn an effort to crack down on fake vaccine certificates, Health Minister Brad Hazzard signs off on an amendment to the health order which makes it illegal for anyone to wrongly claim they are vaccinated. The law isn't targeting 'anti vaxxers'. It's targeting fraud. NSW is far more liberal to the unvaxxed than Victoria, no matter how you want to spin it. It’s ok in NSW but dictatorship if Vic tries to do the same! The anti vaxxers will become more marginalised as laws change and rules around what they can and cannot do. The tragedy is immune comprised, the very young, and the very old will also be caught up in this, but I guess it really doesn’t matter, unless that you , or your family !
