It's a bit like a lie, get caught just once it throws everything into disregard, we sack politicians just being caught once, so that is the defacto standard for all public commentary. I'd be a hypocrite if I bagged News Ltd and didn't highlight such questions directed at independents as well.
Let's not forget, people watching him on Youtube earns him money, and money corrupts, he isn't doing this out of the good of his heart!
Perhaps even worse, he answers to nobody, not to a shareholder, not to a board, probably just his bank balance and conscience!

Yet the article is apparently being cited as a criticism of vaccine mandates given that this is the issue du jour.

I would have thought compulsory vaccination is effectively forcing the pace of vaccination, and it looks to be working! :o
It has pushed indecisive people over the line (3 contractors at work are getting it done today) but we have outcast "anti vaxxers". There is one antivaxxer at my work and he is one of the nicest blokes you could ever meet. A lot nicer than any of us in this thread lol and certainly not a neo nazi. He is taking a month off Long Service Leave hoping the mandate goes away.

Interestingly, the internet has greatly reduced the quality of such commentary, because in the past the content passed through a phalanx of sub-editors and editors who would pick it apart, have it reviewed and revised, fact checked long before it hit the street. Now sometimes it's published isn't even passed over by the legal department and gets tagged as 'opinion' to avoid liability.

MBB, I don’t think there’s a suggestion that anti-vaxxers are all neo-Nazis or even natural allies. The concern is that the neo-Nazis, alt-Right, and anti-vaxxers have promoted Covid-related protests as a recruiting tool. Your average Covid-vaccine-hesitant isn’t going to be attacking police or harassing health workers. For the committed anti-vaxxer, Covid vaccines are just another vaccine that pisses them off. The MMR vaccine is still front and centre.

Thats roughly the description of the bloke I work with.
Married, 3 kids. Naturapathic lifestyle, has sworn away all sorts of foods that dont agree with him, stays off sugar, doesnt smoke, doesn't really drink alcohol, believes in the healing power of dandelion tea, and the sun, takes his shoes and socks off whenever we are at a park.

That's why vaccine mandates are so good. These 2 guys are lambs to the slaughter when it comes to Covid. Call me cynical, but naturopathic remedies would be as effective as crucifixes in warding off the Delta variant. Employers are then given motivation to redeploy them away from the front line. Not only do they benefit but the community does as well. Win-win.

Ruskan is a mate of Avi Yemeni who draws plenty of heat from all areas of the community and authorities would see him as a problem child like AY.

We need a label for XR and ANTIFA.
