Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prime Minister of this fair country has disappointed me massively yesterday in parliament that all government works must get vaccinated or test twice monthly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whilst I don\u2019t have a problem with a person\u2019s having to test, the health officials know that vaccinated person can still contract this disease and spread it to the unvaccinated so regardless of if they are asymptomatic or symptomatic which the government fails inform the public about. So why must they not get tested like the unvaccinated???<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The PM should understand that forcing persons to take the vaccine cannot be the right way to encourage persons to get vaccinated against Covid-19.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The government has done their part in making vaccines available to the\u00a0public and educating the population, however the government needs to understand the right of persons to become vaccinated or not to become vaccinated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Persons may have varying reasons which they chose NOT to vaccinate raging from (THE PM GOING BEHIND THE PUBLICS BACK AND TAKING THE MODERNA VACCINE)\u00a0 undermining public confidence after he promised to take it publicly on camera, health issues, mixing messaging from the CDC and doctors alike and the new technologies that\u2019s being implemented in the vaccines.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

ALL ADULTS know right from wrong, hence if they chose to act reckless with their lives and not vaccinate or mask up, social distance and wash hands, the government cannot be blamed for them being infected or becoming severly ill and dying from Covid-19.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your job as the government in power is not to force persons to vaccinate but to educate persons about the vaccine and make them available to persons which the government commendably has done thus far to the best of their ability.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, what is noticeable throughout this whole pandemic is that doctors and persons in the medical field are not pushing the importance of eating healthy, exercise and boosting your immune system to give you a fighting chance of survival if you become infected with the disease.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, I am goanna address double standards, curfew and state of emergency. If the government enforced the same protocols, they have for locals on the tourist coming here and enforced the protocols, we would not have seen such high numbers of infections of Covid-19 via community spread and we would not have seen the Royalton Hotel having that large unmasked pool party we saw and that is a fact.<\/p>\n

In regards to the curfew, the government moved the curfew from 11pm to 8pm and we are still seeing large numbers of infections, so really what does the curfew do to reduce spread and the same things you would do at night you can do at day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make it make sense please!! We all know the curfew is for population control and to show the populous who is really in charge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The curfew is putting tremendous stress on the business community who has largely remained silent and they are losing business and some are even laying off employees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you\u00a0ANR for giving me this platform to vent my frustrations with the covid-19 protocols as a loyal ANR reader and fan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vanessa.<\/p>\n
