Discrimination: Workers Sacked for Not Getting Covid Jab to Argue Antivax Stance Is a ‘Disability’ in Discrimination Claim.
-1. Boredom during pandemics is a problem. It gives time to think of how to create excitement to otherwise lackluster lives, invent ways to deflect blame on others, and avoid the consequences of the freely made choice not to vaccinate. During the CV parademic variants*A of the same antivax narratives have been used for decades4↓, and creates a state of ennui for Parademic™. So often and for so long has there been the “crying waccine attacking the sheeple =2=”, that the curator of Parademic tends to ignore the fictitious baying and rarely notes it in the Listibase for the last couple of years. Despite knowing the misinformation, emotional and physical harm of antivax has and is causing, the fatigue of repetition =2= lead to eventual loss of compassion and lack of interest in noting other than unique repetitions of the tactic.
-*A. One could argue that variants of social contagions viral spread =2= is analogous to the propagation of pathogens. They both follow similar social network connections and extend the nocuous persistence of what is detrimental to society and people.
-2. Despite having the same characteristic logical fallacies and conspiracy theory as other antivax memes, the subject article of antivax claiming to be discriminated against because of their being “disabled” is at least a new spin on an old trope of being persecuted, though the tactic of using the legal system is another with a long history.
-3. Claiming “disability” discrimination because they freely chose to not protect themselves and others from a contagious and currently partially avoidable disease, will probably not go anywhere. Then again political leaders may decide it will bring personal benefit to champion and wear down opposition. At least attorneys are still making money =2= with arguments of free speech and equal access for the disabled. Maybe flagging antivax in Australia will regain some traction with claiming that choosing to not vaccinate is a form of mental disability =2= =A= or trauma.
-4. Decades of Vaccine Resistance, Avoidance, Hesitancy, Refusal: 201214-CV18A*A, 200902-CV28.1C, 200822-CV03.1, 200531-CV04. There are more stubs about decades of repetition of antivax tropes in the previous years of the Parademic Listibase. However, the thought of looking for more mendacity of self inflicted harm and delusion, and this hysteria =2= infecting others, is too depressing.
-*A. It is taking the curator longer to update the CV Listibase than anticipated. A citation may not be updated at the time this is read. If “updated” is not at the top of the PDN posted with the reference date, then it has not yet been updated with editing and additional material.
