Nation's political leaders have 'gone power mad in this virus panic' | Sky News

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says while he would probably take a potential coronavirus vaccine, he sure as hell doesn’t want to be forced to take one by a government that has made so many mistakes dealing with the virus.

“No government should have a right to stick drugs in your arm,” Mr Bolt said.

“It seems to me that Morrison – and many of our political leaders have gone power mad in this virus panic”.

Following public backlash, Prime Minister Scott Morrison wound back comments about making the COVID-19 vaccine "as mandatory as possible".

The Prime Minister appeared on Sydney radio confirming vaccines would not be made compulsory.

The federal government said it would like to see a 95 per cent uptake in any vaccine rollout to ensure herd immunity could be achieved.

Mr Bolt said Mr Morrison “sounded like he realised he's gone too far”.
