Typhoid was another disease that was often rampant in detention on both #Manus and #Nauru. They would not have been exposed to tropical illnesses if not sent offshore.

Dengue Fever is another illness that asylum seekers and refugees were exposed to. #Manus #Nauru

Many children on #Nauru contracted tuberculosis, although latent. The Australian government didn’t care!

Probably good to point out that upon arrival on Christmas Island, vaccinations were mandatory and many asylum seekers didn’t know what they were being injected with, so informed consent wasn’t a consideration. IHMS have bragged about a 100% compliance rate. Go figure!
The human body and the human mind can only take so much. Stress has been linked to weakened immune systems.
Imagine being denied freedom and safety for more than 8 years. Prolonged detention is prolonged stress.

And now #COVID19 in the #ParkHotel.
Everyone was exposed.
Everyone. And they still are.
Enough already. Time to end the trauma.
Time for common sense and compassion.
Australia. Hang your head in shame.
