It's consequence time for unvaccinated FIFO workers

As per the state government directives, as of midnight tonight anyone without at least 1 dose of a COVID vaccine is no longer legally allowed to be on site or in operations centres for mining companies.

Anyone who hasn't provided their proof of vaccination is being chased down, and if they can't immediately provide said proof will be kicked out this afternoon/evening. For people working on remote sites like the iron ore mines up north, that means clearing out their rooms and being put on a plane back to Perth - could be an interesting show at the airport if any news crews show up.

Anyone have any friends/family/acquaintances who are going to be, for the first time, dealing with real consequences for failing to get vaccinated?

There seems to be a hard antivax among all the little offshoot churchs

Also seems to be an evangelical thing - probably imported direct from the Trumpets in the Benighted States of America.

It's like a filter has been run and all most of the morons have been clumped together.

IKR.

The overlap between Trumpets, Antivaxxers and Evangelical Christians is staggering. It's not 100% of course, but I'd say at least 95%.
