Huge floods smash Australia’s East Coast as unvaccinated volunteers are turned away from helping
[LETTERSFROMAUSTRALIA] Australia’s east coast has been smashed by once-in-a-generation floods, but people rushing to aid devastated communities are being turned away for being unvaccinated.Residents have called for help, especially in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales where some areas had no power or clean water as of Monday. Australians traditionally help each other in a crisis, and the State Emergency Services (SES) organise unpaid volunteers in each state with equipment and training. Despite the urgent need, the NSW SES is turning away volunteers not vaccinated for covid - even though the vaccine does not protect against transmission. Posted by: anon1 2022-03-09 |
