Absurd, but no less valid than a religious exemption and nobody complains about those for some reason.

Lol what?

People call 'religious exemption' a bullshit excuse all the time. Especially since most people claiming it are Christian... which doesn't forbod vaccination.

Probably.

All along it's been "Get the shot, unless you can't for some reason!". Here's a "for some reason", from at least two doctors.

Still, if you can't get vaccinated for some reason, the better idea is isolate in a bunker or something, rather than go out into the plague outside.

Medical exemption is valid, it's just hard to say if it is really valid. The whole reason it is so important for everyone to get vaccinated is for the small percentage of immune-compromised and people with significant allergies that cannot get it.

Religious exemptions are bullshit though and we should fire them (into the sun)

Immunocompromised persons are able and should get the vaccine.

There is no reason to not get the vaccine unless you have an anaphylactic reaction.

Doctors just okay shit because it's hard as hell to lose their medical license.

Hard to believe anything that would legitimately get him a valid medical exemption wouldn't also be negatively impacting his playing career.

I feel like his dad speaking out the way he did kind of reinforce it's totally bogus as well.

of course it is, they're both assholes. he doesn't need a vaccine because he is the peak human specimen; this is their thinking, guaranteed.

Australia loves bending over backwards for sports. The beginning of the pandemic in Australia started off with our PM bragging about going to go see the footy game.

Him stepping up now is him looking for his usual PR win. Which he desperately needs after saying RATs can't be free before backtracking making them free for pensioners and low income earners and admitting that he always got them for free.

It does for a few things, like otherwise controlled substances.

Peyote is a Schedule 1 drug, indigenous people can use it for ceremonial/ritual/spiritual purposes. I can't remember the exact term.

If there hadn't been backlash, they'd have let it skate.

Additionally, if this hadn't been available they'd have found another excuse because of said backlash.

The thing about Scott Morrison is he actually doesn't do anything. He's jumping on a decision someone else has made because of the positive reception and trying to take credit for it.

If there was a decision made that had a negative reception he wouldn't say anything or say it's not up to him.
