Joe Hildebrand says there’s ‘no excuse’ for not getting vaccinated

Former Studio 10 presenter Joe Hildebrand is the latest celebrity to publicly lash out at anti-vaxxers and vaccine-hesitant people.

In a lengthy piece for news.com.au, the 45-year-old called non-vaccinated people ‘selfish’ and said that the pandemic was ongoing because of them. 

‘Every single adult in Australia has now had weeks or months to get their first dose of vaccine,’ he wrote.

‘Anyone who hasn’t done so – without a literal note from their doctor – no longer has any excuse.

‘We are crushing our society, our economy, our relationships and our children’s future all for the sake of a selfish few – indeed a selfish many – who simply won’t do the smallest possible thing to make this all go away.’

Joe is far from the only celebrity to chastise Australia’s vaccine hesitant. 

Abbie Chatfield recently urged influencers to encourage their followers to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

The 26-year-old shared a video to her Instagram, urging social media personalities to speak out about the vaccine.

‘To my fellow influencers who follow me… I’ve gotten so many direct messages from people who have said they’ve gotten the vaccine because they have seen me speak about it and they’ve felt better about getting AstraZeneca,’ she said.

‘So I think if you have a platform right now and you feel like doing something good, you could speak about the vaccine if you feel you want to,’ she added.

‘We are crushing our society, our economy, our relationships and our children’s future all for the sake of a selfish few – indeed a selfish many – who simply won’t do the smallest possible thing to make this all go away,’ he raged

She continued: ‘The anti-vaxxers are unwell so no pressure but if you’ve been unsure, it genuinely may get at least one more person vaccinated.’ 

The reality star also took a catty swipe at anti-vaxxers after getting her AstraZeneca shot.

‘I will keep you updated on how I feel afterwards and also how the 5G is in my house and in my phone, which I’m excited about,’ she said.

‘I’ll let you know if I feel closer to Bill Gates. I’ll let you know if the government controls my mind. We’ll see how it goes.’
