Wake up Australia.

Your government must really hate you 💁🏻‍♀️

I think the public has had enough they know the jig is up! And that it doesn’t work so why keep pushing for it? Control!

Hahaha... because the first 4 worked so well Anyone remember the definition of insanity

🤔

No thanks. Had enough already

Why aren't the media reporting the truth of how deadly the shots are ? Why are you complicit in harming Australians ? It's evil stuff you are doing for Big Pharma. Channel 9 is complicit too..lots of jab ads on tv.

Veryyben thank god

One has to be missing a brain to keep injecting that poison. The synthetic toxic spike protein in the injection is not even the one circulating. Not to mention the severe direct effects and zero long term studies. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

They really are trying to kill everyone

Australian media has been bought and paid for! The title infers to date you have been 'unable' to get a booster when everyone knows the government has been pushing boosters for months and only a small percentage are taking them up. Pushing FOMO sales tactics!

🤔after Pfizer themselves admitted it doesn't stop the spread. Seriously?

I would be curious to know how many of the left wing mob on twitter who love to throw around the labels 'cooker' ' anti-vaxer' and ' conspiracy theorist' are actually going to get the booster shot! Especially after Kerryn Phelp's very public vax injury! 🤣🤣🤣Australia VoteNo
