All manipulation, to get Australians to have the vaccine. It’s actually cementing in my mind not to get it every time I see something like this.
So an article not even written by an Australian on a non Australian site accounts for manipulation

You know that I'm here in Aus too and nobody is forcing you to do shit with respect for the vaccine. There are no benefits in lockdowns. It is entirely up to you. Maybe the people you're around are exerting pressure, but that's just the circle you exist in. Hell, you can only get it if YOU go to a site that fuck all people know about and sign up YOURSELF to eventually get an appointment. There's nobody saying shit to you if you don't do it. Utter bullshit that you're being pressured to get it.
All respect to those who want to pursue a wait and see approach. Let's not bullshit each other though. It's obviously quite effective at reducing your chances of suffering and there are obviously clear risks of fractionally statistical possible complications. That shit is unlikely, what is questionable is that nobody knows what this shit does long term and for that reason, nobody should feel bad about not having it. You might be thanking your lucky stars you held out, one day.
I just had my second dose, 24 hours ago. I do not feel amazing. However, nobody convinced me to get it. I watched my fellow coworkers get it and made my own decision.
