Just wondered if anyone knows what likely exemptions there would be for one of the fittest men on the planet! Does he have any health issues that he could use as an excuse not to get vaccinated? Is it such a health issue that made him an anti-vaxer in the first place?
"The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) last month issued fresh guidelines on the acute major medical conditions that warrant a temporary medical exemption.
ATAGI said the valid reasons for a temporary exemption include:
• For an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine:
– inflammatory cardiac illness within the past three months, eg, myocarditis or pericarditis; acute rheumatic fever or acute rheumatic heart disease (i.e., with active myocardial inflammation); or acute decompensated heart failure.
• For all COVID-19 vaccines:
– Acute major medical condition (eg. undergoing major surgery or hospital admission for a serious illness). Typically, these are time-limited conditions (or the medical treatment for them is time limited).
– PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, where vaccination can be deferred until six months after the infection. Vaccination should be deferred for 90 days in people who have received anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody or convalescent plasma therapy.
– Any serious adverse event attributed to a previous dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, without another cause identified, and with no acceptable alternative vaccine available. For example, a person under 60, contraindicated to receive Pfizer vaccine and in whom the risks do not outweigh the benefits for receipt of AstraZeneca vaccine, is eligible for a temporary exemption.
– If the person is a risk to themselves or others during the vaccination process they may warrant a temporary vaccine exemption. This may include a range of individuals with underlying developmental or mental health disorders."
So there you have it, his exemption is clearly stated and there is no doubt about it that he is deserving of the exempt.
