Channel 9 slammed for Covid-19 vaccine ad

[matte]

The Twitterati woke-left have "woken" (no pun intended) this morning and have decided that they don't approve of Channel 9's ad and this is their "issue" for today.

First they complained about the government ads being too boring and clinical, but they aren't happy with what Channel 9 has done. I reckon if they had a few "ethnically diverse" people in the ad, the Twitterati would then complain they had no homosexuals or transsexuals in the ad.

There is no keeping these people happy.

Why can't they be happy that Channel 9 has taken it upon themselves to produce the style of ad that they have been demanding from the government? This is a fantastic example of a private company getting involved and at no cost to the taxpayer. Oh wait, that is capitalism, another thing these Twitter people HATE.

Channel 9 slammed for “all white” Covid vaccine ad

DAILY TELEGRAPH



Channel 9 has been criticised over a new Covid-19 vaccine advertisement that features all white talent.

The TV promo, which is designed to encourage people to get vaccinated, fell flat with viewers on Tuesday due to its lack of diversity.

Led by The Block’s Scott Cam, the advertisement titled “This is our shot” with the hashtag #GetVaccinated shows various on-air talent including Karl Stefanovic and Allison Langdon getting their Covid jabs and urging the public to do the same.

Other employees including Indigenous presenter Brooke Boney and Vietnamese-Australian Tracy Vo were not included in the ad.

Aw shucks Matt is that’s what’s got your jockstraps in a knot this morning? Diddums. I guess it’s back to the drawing board then innit. I suspect that with you personally, taking your cue as you do from the tabloid end of the Murdoch Hate Media, shock jock radio and the cockroaches of Sky News After Dark, it’s a case of the perfect being the enemy of the good and no advertising campaign will please you since your vaccine denial stems from a visceral pandemic denial. On this board you have opposed every public health measure implemented to deal with the pandemic.

They are referring to people posting on Facebook and masquerading as if they are either officials from government agencies or the agencies themselves (illegally using official logos, assuming the names of the officials etc). 

It is fair enough that they are reported. There is nothing stopping them having a different opinion, but it must come from their own account and they cannot use official logos as their profile picture (which is copyrighted material in any case) or masquerade as an official from the TGA.

It is the same unethical behaviour that Labor was slammed for a number of years ago when they sent out millions of text messages to voters, making it look like it was official information from Medicare.

New laws close down Mediscare texts

22 MARCH 2017

SBS News

Labor could face hefty fines if it seeks to replicate its so-called 'Mediscare' text message campaign at the next federal next election.

The minister responsible for electoral matters Scott Ryan will next week introduce draft laws to parliament making it an offence to impersonate a commonwealth entity.

Existing laws ban the impersonation of a commonwealth official and aren't made to deal with scenarios like Labor sending out text messages that could be interpreted as coming from the Medicare agency.

Truth is the conservatives would like to get rid of universal health, the have been long opposed.

The focus of the vaccine rollout needs to be on the 50 percent of the over 70s who have not even received a first dose of any vaccine. They are the ones who have the greatest risk of severe illness. Why are they holding out when the benefits of the vaccine greatly outweigh the risks in that age group?

Who cares about people in their 30s, they will likely get through any infection.

Channel 9 should double their effort in playing the ad.

I'd actually caption it as well. White Lives Matter.

The oldies don't trust the vaccine and don't want it I have heard..

Pig flu 3 is now rising in China... we have another pandemic on the loose.

I suppose having the two Asians will make the woke-types happy, or will it?

Antoinette Latouff is a muck raking mutt. It's funny reading woke types. Would the stooch say anything if all the people were brownies or bleckies?....lol
