Ash Grunwald Polarises Fans Over 'Pro Choice' Vax Stance

Aussie roots musician Ash Grunwald has revealed that he was denied entry into Queensland over the weekend for being unvaccinated against Covid-19.

Taking to Facebook to share the news, the musician went on a lengthy tirade against local and national governments for the lockdowns that have seriously affected the industry.

The singer claimed "I’m not anti vax but I am absolutely pro choice," when it comes to receiving a coronavirus vaccination, and that he was "completely dumbfounded by the mandates and the divide that is happening in our country."

While Grunwald asserted that he is not a member of the anti-vax community, some were quick to point out that the post utilises many key phrases and points of argument associated with said community such as references to "mainstream media," personal freedoms, and referring to Victorian premier Daniel Andrews as a dictator.

Grunwald has also been accused of spreading intentionally misleading information about the vaccinations - implying they are more or less ineffective and unnecessary.

"The disease itself didn’t cause of any of this. Our Governments chose this and the mainstream media was massively complicit," he wrote. "I don’t care what your vax status is nor should you care what mine is because the truth is you can pass it on to me and I can pass it on to you. We don’t need to argue about our own personal medical decisions while our govt takes away our freedoms possibly forever. We need to unite and protect our human rights."
