Sky News host Rita Panahi says the Labor Party is trying to score “cheap political points” instead of being supportive of the vaccine rollout.
“Labor has preselected infectious diseases expert Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah, who has been outspoken against the AstraZeneca vaccine, as its candidate for the federal seat of Higgins,” Ms Panahi said.
“Labor from Anthony Albanese down, must stop playing political games and be supportive of the vaccination rollout instead of creating more doubt in people’s minds about AstraZeneca to score a few cheap political points.”
