Decisive leadership

AFTER almost three months of outbreak and freedom to choose –– its brilliant to finally have smart, clear decisive leadership from PM Voreqe Bainimarama. Vinaka vaka levu sir.

All business employers and public servant leaders must be breathing a collective sigh of relief after this wise firm decision to move Fiji out of this pandemic via vaccination.

All the scientific evidence and free choice has already been offered to everyone, including the misinformed conspiracy theorists.

They’re been given their rights to choose; fair’s fair.

Time to get real now and protect the rights of all other citizens who are getting vaccinated to protect themselves, and the rest of Fiji from a spreading COVID disaster.

Responsible citizens also have the right to be protected too at work and not be forced to “carry the can” of any irresponsible colleagues who come to work in a pandemic without a jab.

That’s not fair at all either.

With Lambda in 30 countries already, we can’t risk a mutated variant on top of what we have already in Fiji.

Brilliant decision that all businesses and public servants must by right of duty be vaccinated, after a careless minority have contributed to taking Fiji to the brink in their demands for their rights. They still have these.

But now the law will also protect folks from those who jeopardise others during a pandemic by their negligence.

Great work sir. Awesome news indeed. JEAN H. HATCH
