GP’s seriously ill patient makes vax plea
Dr Jamal Rifi says he's had a strong response to a video of his hospitalised patient urging Sydney communities to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
GP Dr Jamal Rifi and other doctors have shared moving images of patients seriously ill with COVID-19 in a bid to shift community views about vaccinations and the Sydney lockdown.
Dr Rifi, whose practice is in south-west Sydney, the epicentre of the outbreak, asked his patient to share a message in Arabic about how serious the virus can become.
