I know that this forum isn't intended for this type of thing, but nonetheless...
There are relatively few places where I can ask this sort of thing without being laughed off, or having to pay, or being placed on some sort of watchlist as an "antivaxxer", especially now NNN is gone, so here we are...
Saying "private entity" felt wrong, in this case, because here I am referring to my University, which uhh, isn't private...
So then, here's the rub: my University wants to mandate that we, as students, need to be vaccinated. That's scary enough, but they specifically want to force us to take the AstraZeneca jab, because that is the only one currently available to people of our age group (i.e. students) across much of Australia. AZ is the one with most of the problems. That is what I really want to avoid, never mind the precedent of being forced to get a jab, overall, even just to complete my classes...
So... What do you think I should do? I'm serious, here. I'm not joking. I need this degree. I know education is overvalued. I know that. But I really do need this stupid piece of paper. So I wondered... What recourse do you think I have, to at least make them wait out a few months until Pfizer is available, if this goes ahead? Aside from "lawyering up", and becoming a "legal test case", that is..?
I should add that two companies in Aus, leaving aside the entire aged-care sector, already have vaxx mandates (fruit production, and an airline, FYI), so... The precedent has already been set.
But yeah, I'm worried about what this means, and I would genuinely appreciate your advice on this. Cheers in advance, and thanks for (hopefully) taking this somewhat seriously...
Broken clocks can be right twice a day.
I'm honestly surprised the UK was on the right side of anything.
How is this even legal? I thought trusting the experts was gospel at this point, even to the leftist trash.
I know a lot of suckers who did. Smart people, not stupid at all, but when they got their "chance" to be vaccinated, they took it.
I don't know...I just think that some people are just so scared of Covid because of the media -I made a thread explaining it a little if you're interested that they will pretty much do anything to remove that fear. Hypochondria is a known mental condition and the media is deliberately causing it, to push these vaccines on people.
I don't think you should do it just because they make you. Just stall for time somehow. I wish I could be more help but I just think you shouldn't risk your life for a degree.
NZ is in a class of their own, remember when Ardern suspended elections? Nobody said a word in any of the world media.
She did but there was actually not much to it. In NZ the election date is set at the sole prerogative of PM, provided it is within 3 years of the last election. When Ardern postponed the election it was still within that allowed time frame, parliament had yet to be dissolved and the writ yet to be issued, therefore was completely legal under NZ law for her to do this.
