One of the great ironies of the Covid-19 pandemic is how consistent Western governments have been at providing inconsistent health advice.
On 24 April 2020, the Commonwealth Government advised the public to not wear face masks. Today, the New South Wales Government may fine you $500 for failing to wear a face mask in public. The New South Wales Government’s announcement that vaccinated adults will soon be rewarded with ‘new freedoms’ is also at odds with their position that Covid-19 vaccination is voluntary.
But confused health policy is not a symptom of Covid-19 that only affects governments in Australia.
On 6 April 2021, the White House announced that it would not support “vaccine passport” systems.
