Medical Apartheid: Australia Leads The World In Discrimination Against Its Own Citizens
By the New South Wales Government.
Australia is already the laughing stock of the world for its absurd mishandling of the Covid panic and the extreme authoritarianism which has overtaken the country, including the most violent scenes ever witnessed on the country's streets.
Now the NSW Health Department, a truly out of control bureaucracy, has introduced draconian restrictions for the unvaccinated.
Not one vaccine being pushed onto the Australian population in multibillion dollar campaigns has yet received final approval from the nation's regulatory agency Therapeutic Goods Administration. All the vaccine manufacturers have received government indemnity for any adverse reactions to their products.
