Covid Clown World: NSW Bans Unvaxxed from Drinking alcohol while Standing at Weddings! By James Reed
My answer to the ban on the unvaccinated on drinking alcohol while standing, might be to simply lay down and tip the sweet alcohol down one’s throat, to drown the sorrows of living in a Covid vax medical apartheid society! I do it most days now.
“The Premier of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, brought forward plans to reopen the economy exclusively to the “fully vaccinated” and to bar those who have not taken the abortion-tainted COVID shots from access to many public places and placing a restriction on drinking alcohol while standing at weddings.
In a November 2 announcement, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet eased the rules for the fully vaccinated, allowing those who have taken a full regimen of a COVID-19 jab to use public amenities and businesses starting November 8 instead of December 1. All visitors age 12 and over will still be required to wear a face mask and “check-in” to the premises for the purposes of tracking movement.
The un-jabbed, which includes anyone who has received only one shot of a two-dose inoculation course, are only permitted to access what the NSW government has determined to be a “critical retail premises,” including grocery stores, fuel stations, news agents, pharmacies, and pet supply stores, according to the state government’s website. In order to legally visit one of these stores, a face mask must be worn at all times, and “check-in” details must be supplied to the business.
However, akin to the severe impositions on the unvaccinated announced in the neighboring state of Queensland earlier this month, access to all other businesses, including hairdressers, beauty salons, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, museums, gyms, public pools, zoos, arenas, and theme parks is strictly prohibited. Gathering outdoors with more than one person who is not part of the same household for anyone who is not double jabbed is also banned.
Strip clubs and businesses providing “sex services” are permitted to reopen to the “fully vaccinated.”
Stuart Ayres, the Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism, and Western Sydney, said the decision to segregate the citizenry based on vaccination status was crucial for the “state’s recovery” from the virus.
Explaining that vaccination uptake has “exceeded our expectations,” Ayres said he was happy to permit the jabbed to access public areas sooner while “just holding back unvaccinated people for another couple of weeks.”
“It’s in line with the decision we made around not allowing people to travel into regional NSW until we had slightly higher rates of vaccination,” he said, adding that the measures are intended as “a really clear message … We want to get to 95 percent [jabbed] and encourage people to go out to get vaccinated.”
Evidence of vaccination must be provided for those who have been jabbed to enter all of the affected venues. A digital app provided by the NSW government will allow those who have taken the shot to display their status. The government website notes that jabbed individuals must carry evidence of their inoculation to produce “if requested to do so by a police officer or authorised officer.”
A medical exemption to the vaccine requirement exists, which can be obtained by consultation with a physician. If a determination of medical exemption is granted, such a person will be given a “medical contraindication certificate or a medical clearance form” to prove their status and be given permission to access all the same buildings as those considered vaccinated. No religious exemption is currently listed.
People age 16 or older are also barred by the government from visiting friends and family if they have not received the jab, save for very “limited circumstances.”
