Abbie Chatfield destroys Sam Frost over anti-vax rant
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As <em>Home and Away</em> star Sam Frost broke down on Instagram detailing why she is not getting vaccinated, Abbie Chatfield let loose. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Saturday, Sam Frost took to Instagram and became emotional in her live video, saying, “There are a lot of different reasons people aren’t getting vaccinated – and it might be because of their medical history, their concerns they might have, they might have family history, it might be religious reasons, whatever.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I want to tell those people that feel like they’re getting separated from society – well, I’m not vaccinated, and there’s a reason why I’m not, I’ve spoken to my doctor and my psychologist about it, and I’m going to keep it private,” she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sam then begged people to have “compassion, kindness and empathy” for the unvaccinated, before deleting her Instagram later that day. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Former <em>Bachelor</em> star Abbie Chatfield, who has been outspoken about the selfishness of the anti-vax community, write on her own Instagram on Sunday, “I mean, it kinda speaks for itself. So brave to ‘come out’ as putting yourself as an individual above your community because you listen to misinformation.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Another reality star bites the dust #love #light #empathy.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abbie’s “peace” only lasted so long, as she took to her Instagram stories to call out those calling her a “bully” for her comments. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Like I didn’t say anything. I said, ‘babe I chose peace today’ pretty much speaks for itself. ‘Another reality star bites the dust’ because she deleted her Instagram. “</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“How was that bullying? I … didn’t add any commentary. Like these people want to be victims so badly and saying she was bullied to the point of leaving Instagram because of Abbie Chatfield.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“These people are just dying to have a reason to hate people who just want misinformation to stop spreading,” she said. “They want to have people on the other side be bad people and bullies and not care at mental health like them.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With her “peace” longer an option, Abbie decided to be honest about her opinions of Sam’s video. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A huge issue with her video was she said she felt segregated and like less of a human, so she’s trying to use the struggles and the oppression of people of colour in the past and currently, to use that idea of equality for her being unvaccinated.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abbie also pointed out that Sam stated she had a medical exemption for not getting the jab, which didn’t make sense given her tirade.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The people who do have legitimate medical exemptions, are the ones who I see posting begging for everyone to get the vaccine because they’re the people who are at most risk for covid.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“They’re not doing videos crying on the floor talking about being a second-class citizen … it seems you want to victimise yourself.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another former </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bachelor</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> star Matt Agnew also shared his thoughts on Sam’s monologue, saying her post was “affecting others”.</span></p>
