The 32-year-old told us in her video her mental health was struggling, and she's no doubt feeling even worse since the subsequent fallout.
But we can talk constructively about what Frost said, and we should do so in the middle of a pandemic reliant on vaccines to get us out the other end. This kind of misinformation needs to be explained and debunked so that the community understands the urgency of this fight, and the facts around who is and is not 'medically exempt' from receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
"There are lots of different reasons why people aren't getting vaccinated — and it might be because of their medical history, their concerns they might have, family history, it could be religious reasons...there are many many many many reasons...there are a few reasons why I'm not," Frost said in her video.
She added that she'd spoken to her doctor and her psychologist, but was "going to keep that private."
But scientifically speaking, there are very few 'reasons' not to be vaccinated.
As the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation states: "There are very few situations where a vaccine is contraindicated and as such, medical exemption is expected to be rarely required."
A temporary exemption may be granted if you are having acute major surgery or have been admitted to hospital for a serious illness.
Examples given by ATAGI include; inflamatory cardiac illness within the past six months, or COVID itself.
If you've had an adverse reaction while getting the vaccine, such as thrombosis from AstraZeneca or you're allergic to either polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, or polysorbate 80, which is in the AstraZeneca vaccine, you are eligible for an exemption against the particular vaccine you reacted to.
Luckily, however, we have more than one.
"If you can't have one vaccine, you can have another," President of the RACGP Dr Karen Price told Sunrise.
