A Sydney doctor has slammed a revitalised anti-vaccination movement that has gained traction as Australia signs a deal to secure a potential COVID-19 vaccine that would be rolled out cost-free to citizens.
Dr Zac Turner wants the federal government to curtail the freedoms of people who refuse the potential COVID-19 vaccine, including travel, and has raised the idea that businesses including shops, gyms, pubs and restaurants could refuse those who weren’t vaccinated.
“People’s movements should be curtailed if they’re refusing a vaccine that has proven efficacy from the same groups that have made other successful vaccines,” Turner, who holds a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from the University of Sydney and has worked with vaccinations in Africa and the most rural areas of Australia, told HuffPost Australia.
