Welcome to the De Facto Vaccine Passport: It’s Here! By James Reed
Without a legal challenge, which will probably never come because it takes an eternity for lawyers on our side to get their act to together, let alone act, business has moved to have the de facto vaccine passport. Not only businesses, but churches too are caught up in the social madness. To save readers hours surfing the net, here is all the misery in one article:
“Qantas has announced it will make it mandatory for all of its 22,000 workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Food processor SPC Ardmona was the first business to announce such a measure, and is pushing ahead with the plan, despite a wave of abuse.”
“Thousands of staff at one of Australia's biggest retail groups could miss out on end-of-year incentives if they refuse to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
Retail giant Spotlight Group has informed staff via internal email they won't receive their Christmas bonus if they don't show proof of vaccination to their manager.
The decision impacts on staff at hundreds of Spotlight, Anaconda, Harris Scarfe and Mountain Designs stores across Australia.
The staff memo was leaked to 2GB breakfast host Ben Fordham, who described the decision as a step too far as he read out the email on his show on Monday morning.
'For those of you who are otherwise eligible for festive bonus this year, in order to both ensure that you now qualify and that it is processed early, please provide your manager with confirmation of your vaccination status,' the email states.
NSW One Nation leader Mark Latham agreed Spotlight had gone too far and slammed the decision as 'a bit of a scrooge act'.
'They're going a bridge too far to actually punish people and take money off them,' he told Fordham.
'Companies have every right to offer incentives and we all want to get to herd immunity to meet those Doherty targets of vaccination and offering incentives for vaccination is a positive thing in that respect.
'But jeez, it would create a lot of division and nastiness internally to take the Christmas bonus off other workers who've done the same amount of work and would otherwise be deserving.'
Mr Latham added a lot of Australians are still waiting to book in for their preferred jab while others want to see more evidence the vaccine is safe.
'We need to have more compassion for people who don't want to have to make the choice of rushing to get a medical procedure they don't necessarily want,' he added.
Spotlight Group managing director Avi Gilboa said the aim of the new initiative aims to encourage vaccinations among the 8000 employees.
A spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia Spotlight's senior leadership decided to accelerate its end-of-year festive bonus payments by two months to mid-October and to amend its end-of-year festive bonus eligibility criteria to include only those team members who have been vaccinated with at least one jab.
Spotlight employees with a pre-existing condition and who are unable to receive the vaccine will have their circumstances considered on a case-by-case basis.
'In the context of a global pandemic, safety at Spotlight takes on an entirely new dimension. As a result, we want to positively incentivise our staff to reduce the risk of viral transmission to team members and customers,' Mr Gilboa said.
'Vaccination is the quickest path to ending debilitating lockdowns, the most effective way of mitigating the COVID risk to our people and the entire community, and the only way to open the Australian economy.
The Australian operated and privately owned retail giant opened its first Spotlight store in Melbourne in 1976.
SPC recently became the first Australian company to demand staff to be vaccinated.
All of 450 on-site employees at at the company's factory in Shepparton in regional Victoria have until September 15 to schedule their first dose while all staff and contractors must be fully vaccinated by the end of November.
As of Monday morning, 62.1 per cent of Australians aged over 16 are not double-vaccinated.”
“Churches in New South Wales will be required to use a vaccination certificate system once 70 percent of the population have received at least two injections of the COVID vaccine.
From mid-October, churches will be permitted to return to in-person worship on the provision that they only host vaccinated-only services.
Once the target is reached, places of worship must deny entry to any member of the congregation who is not fully vaccinated.”
So much for the churches’ battle against discrimination. What would Jesus do, would He exclude the unvaccinated? You can bet he would not, thus showing how far the churches have fallen into secularism.
“Businesses owners in New South Wales are being strongly urged to “make sure” employees are vaccinated as Premier Gladys Berejiklian sells the jab as the nation’s “ticket to freedom”.
“If you're a business, make sure your employees are vaccinated. If you're a citizen make sure yourself, your families, loved ones and friends are vaccinated,” she said.
“That's our ticket to freedom. Vaccination is key for us moving forward.”
NSW Health administered 47,429 COVID-19 vaccines in the 24 hours to 8pm on Monday, including 10,187 at the vaccination centre at Sydney Olympic Park.”
Well, that is certainly a new religious gathering! What we are seeing is a post-science cult, where the magic vax will solve totally the Covid problem. But, as article after article at this blog shows, this is not so, and highly vaccinated countries like Israel are in an endless chain of boosters, until a vaccine resistant mutant takes centre stage, beginning the infinite Covid regress once more.
In summary, the corporates and businesses, even the churches and other organisations, will use social pressure and coercion to enforce the jab. Then they will do the same for the endless number of boosters, as we are seeing in Israel. It will be interesting to see if people, who get sick from the jab, will be legally able to sue those coercive businesses?
