> Australia locked up millions of people in their homes and forced them into dangerous medical procedures.

Your comically bad faith description of Aus covid measures is pure nonsense.

> Obesity kills 10x more Americans than guns.

And? Obesity kills roughly the same number of people in other countries but guns kill 40 times more people in the US than other countries.

> Authorised workers had to be vaccinated or couldn't attend work onsite. Those who refused could face disciplinary proceedings including dismissal.

> The mandates rendered vaccination against COVID a condition of employment. Anyone who refused to be vaccinated could therefore be subject to disciplinary proceedings, including dismissal.

Australia | USA | UK

Vaccine passports for venues: Australia = Widespread | USA = Mostly banned | UK = Never implemented

Unvaccinated locked out of shops/restaurants: Australia = Yes | USA = No | UK = No

Healthcare worker mandates: Australia = Yes | USA = Partial (upheld for Medicare/Medicaid facilities) | UK = Brief, then revoked

Broad employment mandates: Australia = Yes (most industries) | USA = Struck down | UK = No

Different lockdown rules by vax status: Australia = Yes | USA = No | UK = No

Days locked down

Australia (Melbourne) = 262 days

UK (England) = approx 190 days (three national lockdowns)

USA = approx 30-60 days in most states (one lockdown only, spring 2020). Eight states never locked down at all. No second or third lockdowns.

Again, so what? Your claim is says "forced" and "dangerous" but you provide no evidence. You've made your opinion clear, but that's all it is. That the Aus government did something different proves, and shows, nothing.
