‘Did you do your research before taking that horse tranquiliser?’ The Bachelor’s Abbie Chatfield mocks anti-vaxxers who don’t want the Covid shot but still use ketamine
Abbie Chatfield has mocked twentysomethings who claim they are ‘worried’ about getting the Covid-19 vaccine but still take recreational drugs on the weekends.
The outspoken Bachelor star, 26, revealed on Instagram she knows people her own age who question the safety of TGA-approved vaccines while at the same time taking drugs like ketamine.
