Jimboomba and Beaudesert residents have launched passionate appeals against COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Some locals are up in arms about government restrictions on unvaccinated people which will kick in when the state opens up.
Unvaccinated people will not be able to enter pubs, clubs, coffee shops and sporting arenas.
In a poll on the Jimboomba Times website, 75 per cent of those who took part said they were against a vaccine mandate, while 23 per cent agreed with the practice.
One per cent of the 812 respondents said they were undecided. The poll is not scientific but simply reflects the views of those interested in the subject.
It comes after a McDonald's Yarrabilba employee was told she would lose her job.
"I honestly think it doesn't make sense to me," her father said. "It's nothing but coercion, you do as we say, or you're gone."
In a statement, McDonald's said its plan aimed to reduce the impacts of the pandemic.
"Given the scale of our business and supply chain, we believe McDonald's has a corporate responsibility to do everything we can to help keep the economy open and reduce further lockdowns," a spokesman said.
"Throughout the pandemic, we continue to work closely with the government to prioritise the health and safety of our employees and customers.
"In line with government advice, we are encouraging all eligible employees to receive the vaccine or discuss getting the vaccine with their doctor."
Hundreds gathered at Jubilee Park, Beaudesert, to back Scenic Rim councillor Jeff McConnell in his rejection of the government plan.
Planned by Cr McConnell, the event was arranged by the Scenic Rim Pro Choice/Anti Mandate group, which was started by residents Belinda Wallbank and Erin McGee-Stevens.
Cr McConnell said it was not an anti-vaxx rally but a form of community consultation which would allow him to send a message to council at the next meeting on December 8.
"This is about looking after the businesses and the people within the community," Cr McConnell said.
"I'll send out an email tonight and if people agree ... I'll take the motion that the Scenic Rim Regional Council declare themselves a pro-choice anti-mandate council ... this means we are not supportive of the state or the government mandate."
When Cr McConnell told the crowd that unvaccinated people could not enter cafes and sporting events, he was greeted with shouts of "but we will".
He said a mandate was an agreement between two parties and if one party did not agree it could not be enforced.
It comes as Indigenous leaders, mayors and councillors across Queensland called on Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to keep borders closed until at least December 17 as originally announced.
This was due to relatively low vaccination rates in communities.
