      This messaging will further entrench the stigma about COVID; that people who get it deserve it and that we should only care about the virtuous.https://twitter.com/Prof_NickTalley/status/1435786328050855938 …

      Message is clear. Get the jab NSW. NSW records 1,405 COVID-19 cases as Premier reveals strategy to “end lockdown” at 70% double vaccinated. The unvaccinated adults? They will bear the brunt of the virus & will be the bulk of the hospitalised.

      There's no difference between now (ie the unvaccinated are the bulk of the hospitalised). Not sure how this will further entrench stigma.

      Think about what you read on here and extend it though - already people are saying people who are currently dying deserve it because they’re predominantly unvaccinated. That’s pretty dark.

      Sure, but I still don't see how reducing restrictions for fully vaxxed people will affect that.

      Replying to @ben_hr @AndrewHayen

      Personally I'm uncomfortable with discourse shift towards individual blame for failing to vax when many factors not in their control. Northern Rivers copping flack about low vax but I'm hearing far more complaints here about not being able to get vaccinated than not wanting to be

      so, at what stage will be it OK to reduce restrictions for vaccinated people?

      Replying to @AndrewHayen @ben_hr

      For me it is when people have actually had equitable access to option. We're rewarding (and by definition punishing) people for factors that have more to do with luck & advantage than choice. People who made bookings here in early August can't even get first shot until October

      the vaccine roll-out is being rolled out inequitably. Already disadvantaged populations are generally having lower vaccination rates due to access. Privileging those who are vaccinated without sorting that issue entrenches that disadvantage. Problem is they're skipping steps

      The inverse care law existed before this, and the absolute clusterproverbial of the vaccination program rollout has only exacerbated it. Provision hasn’t in any sense aligned with transmission.

      I think that has been corrected to an extent - the top two most immunized LGAs in NSW are Blacktown and Camden at this point, followed by Murray River, Kuringai, and Gilgandra

          there's def been great work happening at LGA level, but still major pockets of disadvantage falling through cracks. Comms framing vax'd persons as reward-worthy, but no message of support to help those who know they're excluded through being unvax'd via no fault of own

          I think at this point I'd say (based on the LGA figures) the biggest pockets of disadvantage are in terms of rural/regional areas - it looks like many of the lower-income metro LGAs have had excellent uptake
