‘I never said I was anti-vax’: Punk rocker Jerinx gets COVID-19 jab ridicule Jerinx for apparently swallowing his pride after months of championing and perpetuating conspiracy theories about the pandemic. erinx has hit back against the accusation, stressing in an Instagram post this morning that he has never been against the COVID-19 vaccine. Balinese punk rocker Jerinx, who has never been shy in airing his controversial views against rational thinking regarding COVID-19, has finally gotten his Sinovac jab but soon found that he had to defend himself from public ridicule. Jerinx, whose real name is I Gede Ari Astina, got his jab at the Jakarta Metro Police HQ on Sunday. Jerinx recently travelled to Jakarta after he was named a suspect for making a threat against a renowned social media personality. A photo of Jerinx getting his shot with a policeman gleefully giving his thumbs up as if an impossible achievement was unlocked went viral, prompting many to
“Since the beginning, I never said I was anti-vax. You can cross-check on the internet,” he wrote, adding that he has held off on getting the jab until now because he had only recently received confirmation from a virologist he trusts that the vaccine is safe for someone with his underlying medical conditions. Jerinx also rejected the idea that he may have gotten his jab in exchange for leniency by the authorities in his fresh criminal case, adding that he got it on his own accord. To be fair to Jerinx, the punk rocker was right in that he was never explicitly anti-
vax — at least online. Nevertheless, his getting the jab would hopefully sway the legions of COVID-deniers who see him as an icon for alternative yet misinformed thinking about the pandemic. Jerinx was only released from prison in June after having served his controversial conviction for hate speech. He was found guilty after accusing the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) of being “flunkeys” to the World Health Organization (WHO) on Instagram, which he claimed during trial was out of frustration that pregnant women had to undergo unreliable rapid tests for COVID-19 prior to delivery. Compounding the issue is that Jerinx’s vocal rejection against rapid tests coincided with his active sharing and endorsement of COVID-19-related conspiracy theories on social media, including calls for people to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

Out at sea? No problem. Bali authorities take their boats out to vaccinate fishermen
Authorities in Bali’s Buleleng regency are taking their boats out to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to fishermen out at sea, as efforts continue to make sure everyone gets their jab.
In a statement, Buleleng Police Chief Andrian Pramudianto said that many fishermen haven’t been vaccinated because they aren’t able to join the vaccination program held on land due to the demands of their profession. A medical team from the Buleleng Police set out to the sea yesterday to reach some of these fishermen, and 11 of them have so far gotten their first COVID jab.
“Keeping in mind the expansive waters off Buleleng regency and the fact that these fishermen haven’t been vaccinated, we approached them instead by facilitating this vaccination service,” Andrian said. “This program will continue and next week we will target the fishermen in the western side.” As of Aug. 18, over 3.1 million people in Bali have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while nearly 1.5 million are now fully vaccinated.
