Coercion NOT Consent
#002 22/11/21
Hi,
I’m 23 and I work in early childhood education. I have a bachelor of politics and philosophy and these mandates went completely against my ethics. They are a violation of my rights and I was coerced.
I wanted to wait and make a more informed choice before I chose to get the vaccine, but when the mandates rolled in, I felt forced. I developed anxiety and would have regular mental breakdowns due to the pressure of deciding if I should take an experimental vaccine or stand by my ethics but sacrifice my financial security and my social freedoms.
In the lead up, the company I work for ran a seminar with an immunology who was advising politicians in NSW. We were strictly told that we were not allowed to record the video. In the webinar, the doctor said that children were not at risk but it was still important to get the vaccine. He said children should not get the vaccine as they already seemed to have an immunity to it. I did not feel reassured by this, only more confused. Why should I be forced to get the vaccine when the children I work with are not at risk from COVID and educators are able to distance themselves?
When the final date was upon us, my employer asked if I was getting vaccinated and I said that the mandates went against my ethics. She cancelled my shifts and then called me to tell me that younger people who are unvaccinated have been dying from covid. Then she sent me a $50 company gift card to acknowledge all my hard work.
I was really scared, but I did get the vaccine. I cried the whole way there and had to bring a friend with me. I wish I hadn’t been forced but I wasn’t willing to face poverty, social exclusion and dismantle my entire life.
Since receiving the vaccine, I’ve had frequent headaches. I’ve also had two anxiety attacks.
I was coerced. I was forced to consent. To this day, I still oppose the mandates. My government failed me.
This is my story
