The Queensland Government has confirmed three Gold Coast Titans players who refused a flu shot have been stood down while the sport’s flu-jab policy is reviewed.
This afternoon, Queensland’s Chief Medical Officer revealed three players – Bryce Cartwright, Nathan Peats and Brian Kelly — had been stood down by the NRL while the ARLC reviews its stance on anti-vaccination.
According to Nine News, the trio are unable to train until they either have the flu vaccination or provide a genuine medical reason why they cannot.
About ten players across the NRL reportedly refused the flu jab, and Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) chairman Peter V’landys said anyone who didn’t sign a waiver would not be allowed to play. He said if they did sign it, they would be permitted to play.
However, new reports today suggested Cartwright and fellow objectors would be stood down even if they do sign the waiver as the NRL faces pressure from state governments to comply with strict health guidelines.
Nine sports presenter Cameron Williams and Channel 7 rugby league reporter Chris Garry reported the government is going to stand by a “no jab, no play” stance endorsed by Prime Minister Scott Morrison earlier this week.

You dont think they are acting in your best interest? Why would you ever think the government would slowly euthanize the population? I guess the microwaves in the airports are not cooking the public fast enough. :-/

I also heard from some news interviewer (caster) having an argument with a politician the other day and essentially it was about placing a government covid-19 tracing app on everyone's phone and the politician was opposing it. Saying she didn't trust the government. And the news interviewer (caster) was giving the argument "doesn't a citizen have a social responsibility. An obligation to act as the benefit of society".

Queensland Health Minister Stephen Miles accused the NRL of breaking its own plan to safely resume play amid the coronavirus outbreak.

After reading up on the 1976 swine flu vaccinations there is no way I will willingly accept a rushed vaccine, without a pretty bloody good reason.
If its just the regular flu shot that's a bit different to me.

I was thinking exactly the same.
We have been constantly told this virus has nothing to do with the flu and that flu related vaccinations will have no effect whatsoever on COVID-19.
So why are these people being forced to have it?
What is the reasoning behind this?
