In response, Yazmina Adler posted a number of follow-ups on the Khemia Salon Instagram page to say that she is “standing in my full integrity for what I believe”.
“I do a lot of work around connecting in with intuition and the body, and my body is just going ‘no, we are not standing for this,’ so my business is not standing for this,” Adler said via Instagram story.
“Let us make one thing clear. We are a stand for health and safety first and foremost. If this upsets you in any way, then that’s on you,” the message continued. “We have made a conscious choice as a business to choose not to allow anything into our space that is highly toxic and that we have no evidence of the true side effects.”

Five Australians over the age of 50 have developed blood clotting and low platelets after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine in the past week, the Therapeutic Goods Administration has confirmed.
The TGA says it is also looking into three other reports of blood clotting in the last week but is yet to make a determination on them.
The five new cases were in a 74-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman from Victoria, a 66-year-old man from Queensland, a 64-year-old woman from Western Australia and a 70-year-old man from Tasmania.

TGA head Professor John Skerritt said many of those had serious and significant underlying health conditions, stressing blood clotting following vaccination remained a rare event.
Authorities have reassured Queenslanders the benefits of receiving the coronavirus vaccine outweigh the risks after a 66-year-old Townsville man became the 11th person to develop blood clots. The man, who has a chronic illness, got the AstraZeneca coronavirus jab spent days fighting for his life in intensive care after developing rare blood clots in his stomach. Doctors fear the latest cases of rare blood clots could increase vaccine hesitancy in the community - despite the benefits of getting the jab still outweighing the risks. The Townsville man was one of five reported cases of rare blood clots - known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) - directly linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine in the last week.
