Open tomorrow I already don’t like this guy we hit are 70%

Not 70% of 'whole' population, which even so would need to be 90%. Look at Israel, Singapore........we are talking basic high school science and maths here... oncoming train.

🤯🤯🤯🥵

Best example I have seen in a long time, of not following the science... but following the politics (and big business buddies). Many aussies are learning a hard lesson in you get what you vote for.

God will protect us... unless you are a heathen

By “70%” you mean 45% unvaccinated

Hmmm. What about those many places where the vaccination % - due to supply issues - is nowhere near 70% Rich, white Sydney areas are all over 80% already, while areas in the Hunter, where cases are surging, are between 50 and 60% - of over 16’s not total auspol COVID19nsw

Wish all media would make it plain what the 70% really means, plenty of people I assume would believe it is 70% of the whole population not part of the population nswpol auspol
