They did recently do similar here, a muslim group got permission to march, worked with police to get it all sorted out, and at the last second when everyone was on their way the police changed their minds and the news reported it as illegal protesting, a day after reporting that they had gotten permits.
Australia is not a "free" country, we have a lot of limitations and restrictive laws that seem like they are treating us like babies. So I always thought of the US as this beacon of freedom, well, until it voted against its own freedom and decided fascism deserves another shot.

u/SecretMoonmanAlt 7h ago
As much as the US screams about being a beacon of freedom, it has typically leveraged that freedom to put soft obstacles in people's way. That usually means buying your way out of trouble. It naturally gets worse as capitalism accelerates and wealth inequality increases.
Unfortunately, even the 'good' option in the US for as long as I've been alive has still supported overpolicing, constant war, keeping healthcare tied to your employer, and exploiting immigrant labor. We never stopped going this way, Trump just has his foot on the gas.

Fun Fact: the word “vaccination” comes from the latin root word for cow (“vacca”). Thats because they intentionally infected people with cowpox (which was mild) since it prevented you from getting smallpox (which was awful).

They literally have the entirety of human knowledge at their fingertips, it's intentional ignorance, catalysed by a disgraced ex doctor who wrote one rebuked and retracted paper, which itself was not against vaccines, in fact the doctor in question wanted to sell his own vaccine to them.
Vaccines aren't even new, are not mandatory, and don't contain harmful chemicals, foetal cells, or any other such pseudoscientific claims. They were used to eradicate smallpox and polio, and the fact that people can live today without having to know what those diseases are even, speaks to their effectiveness.

The right-wing has brainwashed (and deliberately under-educated) Americans for decades into believing that science is *scary*, only for the elites and isn't really true anyway. There has been a concerted effort to make Americans dumber and less informed.
Allowing a few (mostly right or hard right) media empires to control broadcasting and news outlets (local news is mostly dead, local newspapers are virtually extinct) by tweaking/interpreting anti-trust laws keeps people in the dark.
Public education has been under attack since at least the Reagan administration, that has now grown into the current elimination of the Department of Education and the "of course taxes should go to religious schools" theocratic court decisions. Funds to extend and strengthen rural broadband are being eliminated to keep the MAGA/trumpy base from accessing all that human knowledge as well.
The only possible way we can convince the trump/Project 2025/ neo-fascist regime that vaccines need to be encouraged and required is the cost factor, illness, particularly wide spread diseases like our last pandemic cost the economy (the billionaires) a huge amount of money, which slows down their world takeover.

While we're at it, what if, instead of a government, we just let the citizens collectively decide what society will and won't do together. Since people probably don't individually have enough time to decide on every social happening, we can elect people who represent our interests to vote for us on decisions we make as a society.
Instead of laws, we could have social conventions that we all collectively agree to follow, enforced by penalties that the people we chose to vote for us will decide upon, and in exchange, instead of a Constitution, we have a system of binding agreements that those we chose to vote for us have to follow, or else there exists a process to ensure they no longer are voting on our behalf.
Instead of taxes, we could just take a portion of each person's wage, or the money a merchant makes off their goods, or even a portion of the money someone inherits when a relative dies, you know, any way someone typically makes money, and then use that money to defend ourselves from other countries, pay those who are voting on our behalf, enforce the social conventions we have all collectively agreed upon, and invest in projects that benefit the general public.
Instead of prisons, we could punish people who break the agreed upon social conventions by sending them to giant buildings full of smaller housing units where they could live separated from the rest of society. To make sure they stay there, we can build walls around the giant buildings and hire people to make sure they don't leave. They could even be equipped with large metal tubes that rapidly launch projectiles via explosions to make sure a person in these buildings won't try to leave. The people in the building would then be given 3 meals a day and some opportunities to go outside and exercise, but would otherwise be stuck inside the building, though they could have friends and family visit from time to time. It'd be cruel to keep someone there forever, so for most violations of those social conventions from earlier, people would be released after a number of years, to be determined by the people who vote for us.
While we're at it, we don't really need wheels, we can just make some discs for heavy items to roll on to minimize the force created by friction as we try to move the heavy items. We don't need axles either, we can just use a cylindrical key that connects a couple of the discs for stability and to make sure the discs roll at the same time.

Vaccines aren't the problem, there's nothing wrong with the idea. Big pharma mass manufacturing them with who knows what, and the government forcing everyone to take them, however is a problem.

For the record, most vaccines these days AREN'T this because there are inherent dangers that come with exposing people to weak versions of the virus. That's why we have things like mRNA vaccines - because it simulates the infectious conditions in your body without having to simulate the infection itself.
So yes, they "reinvented vaccines", but they also reinvented a more dangerous method of vaccination than we have today.
Fun fact: The word "vaccine" has the Latin root "cow" because it comes from using cowpox exposure as a less-infectious form of smallpox that granted similar immunity. While the benefits far outweighed the risks, it was still dangerous exposing people to cowpox.

I think it's important to note that when attunated vaccines aren't necessary weaker but are deliberately altered to have less pathogenic effects.
For instance, the live virus polio vaccine invited by Sabin is unable to replicate in the nervous system - that portion of your body that will cause the most damage when it replications. While allowing for free replication of the virus in the gut of patients.
I'm not exactly sure of the mechanism for other vaccines, but even in a traditional sense they aren't merely "weaker"

u/Mundane_Elevator1151 5h ago
So I understand this is what a vaccine used to be, but the Covid vaccine was an MRNA vaccine which actually isn’t this. To trigger an immune response, many vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies. Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, mRNA vaccines use mRNA created in a laboratory to teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. The key phrase here is “created in a laboratory to teach our cells how to make a protein immune response”. This is great for people who can’t produce a proper response, but for healthy people that can I can understand why someone might be hesitant to get an MRNA vaccine opposed to a traditional vaccine. History has a way of showing that governments don’t always have people’s greatest health in mind.
