'The young ones are saying don't get vaccinated, it's a white man's disease. It's not.' AusPol 9News

Figures released by the federal government show vaccination rates in Western Australia's Kimberley and Pilbara regions are languishing at 8.6 per cent - among the lowest in Australia and less than half the national average.

Community-controlled health services are working overtime to supply vaccines to remote communities, but in some cases, the message isn't getting through. Minister for Indigenous Australians Ken Wyatt has urged Indigenous Australians to get vaccinated against COVID-19."People are hesitant because of social media. What they're reading is what anti-vaxxers are posting," Indigenous Affairs Minister Ken Wyatt told reporters in Canberra.In the current New South Wales outbreak, 27 Indigenous Australians have caught COVID-19, while there have been about 200 cases since the pandemic began.

No. This COVID Var Delta does Not care what colour, creed or clan/tribe you are. If you are not vaccinated - it will get you in the end. Vaccinate for Communities sake. It only takes one!! 🖤💛❤

This is like the eve for the Nation that it stands on a cliff - we are all there - indigenous- and every race of our land -together - this is our moment of truth - there is no doubt it could be for Australia it’s darkest time- vaccinate - its coming and it’s your only hope

Still no flu this year

Heard it all now, the virus is racist too😎

oh dear....the virus doesn't discriminate, black or white..look around the world...Indonesia for a start

Nop you wrong I’m old and I don’t want it, I said this before only when the makers of the government take full responsibility for any side effects, maybe then I will consider to get the jab

Yes the ccp developed COVID-19 to kill all non Chinese but it didn’t last just like all the other crap from China.

It’s not a white mans disease. Everyone and anyone at any age, any gender anyone can get this virus. This virus does not matter whether it’s young or old. Only way to protect oneself is to vaccinate!!!!! So be smart and have the jab 💉

It's a white man's form of control. Which, is a disease in itself. Maybe that is what they mean? COVIDqld COVID19 covidaus

Oh fuck 😆

Very racist of them saying that.

And yet the moment they start suffering from it in any form or fashion that will then be made a white man's issue 🤬🤬🤬

If you believe some nobody on facebook ahead of what the official experts tell you, you deserve what's coming to you.
