Australia says Kanye West must be fully vaccinated to perform

Australia's prime minister said rapper Kanye West must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to perform concerts in their country.

"They apply to everybody, as people have seen most recently. It doesn't matter who you are, they are the rules,” Morrison added. “Follow the rules — you can come. You don't follow the rules, you can't."

The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported on Friday that West, who legally changed his name to “Ye,” is planning to launch a series of stadium concerts in March.

West, who announced the February release date of his forthcoming album “Donda 2,” said in an interview last year that he has received one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.


However, West had previously referred to COVID-19 vaccines as “the mark of the beast” in an interview with Forbes magazine in 2020.

To show both ID and proof of vaccination - and remain masked while indoors for the show. During a global pandemic, that's the only requirement that makes sense...

Just your standard Aussie pragmatic shrug of the shoulders.

Not vaxxed, we don't let him in. Simple.
It's a global pandemic.
Politics don't come into it.
Personal freedom to choose doesn't come into it.
Us Aussies like to keep this simple.

Natural consequences, Ye - did you expect that you would be an exception, because {reasons}?

It's difficult for me to parse the object of the sentence when the sentence is truncated down to such a degree as yours.
