Richie is joined by Jaana, a registered nurse based in Queensland Australia.

Jaana has been a nurse for 16 years. She reached out to the show to tell Richie that she's about to lose her job because of Queensland's vaccine mandate. After explaining to Richie why she will not have a covid jab, Jaana looks back to March and April 2020. She tells Richie that she knew back then that something was wrong. Her hospital, the second biggest in the city, just wasn't very busy, even though staff had been told to expect a deluge of covid patients. 
The media was telling the public that her hospital and others were being overwhelmed, but her experience and that of her colleagues was completely different.
Jaana also reveals that once the vaccine roll-out got underway, she began to see people coming to the Emergency Department who had taken ill after they'd received the jab. This is a must-listen interview.
