The issue of Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid-19 continues to bubble away in the background, as any move to discuss it openly has the heretic burned at the stake of public outrage as strident cries of “it’s a horse de-worming drug” resound. The drug is not restricted to
The blame game has started again with Chris Hipkins accusing Kiwis vaccinated overseas of clogging up the system by “supplying their information at the last minute”. So it had nothing to do with a system that is inadequate? Let’s instead blame the user, the victim of yet another massive
Information Satire Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Eve and she had a very important Mummy. Her Mummy had long black hair, and a big toothy smile like the crocodile in Eve’s storybook. She wore bright red lipstick that sometimes she put on Eve for
The MSM considers it has the insider low-down on information and, on the Government’s behalf, automatically brands sources it doesn’t agree with as either dis-, mis- or mal-information – the triplets of trouble. It is a sorry mess we currently find ourselves in: of dangerous leadership and distorted vision,
Jacinda Ardern campaigned in the 2017 election as a ‘transformational leader’. And she is. Just not in a way that is helping New Zealand. Never before have we seen the protests, the petitions, the parades of placards that are gaining ever-increasing momentum. We are indeed marching now, Jacinda. Thousands of
Dear Jacinda, Yesterday you described some ‘anti-vaxxers’ who have been accused of making death threats to MP’s as “A small group of people who are unhappy”. You smiled and dismissed the ‘unhappiness’ of what you consider a small group. Your arrogance and disdain for people who may or may
“Social media pseudo-science, superstition and other forms of cerebral masturbation about Covid-19.” Tom O’Connor, Stuff, 15 November 2021 A Stuff article, under the heading Locally-made ‘disinformation’ draws global scorn. Covid-19: A paper on vaccination in pregnancy co-authored by Simon Thornley has been panned by experts around the world,” Stuff
A new Ministry for Disabled People was announced on 29 October 2021. “Minister for Disability Issues Carmel Sepuloni and Health Minister Andrew Little announced the plans this afternoon, saying the government was delivering on its promise to reform disability systems. The planned reforms include: * Establishing a Ministry for Disabled People
Look back to April 20, 2020, when Uri Friedman, in The Atlantic, reported that “Jacinda Ardern’s leadership style, focused on empathy, isn’t just resonating with her people, it’s putting the country on track for success against the corona virus.” Well, not now. Jacinda Ardern’s leadership style
The safety and long-term effects of the Pfizer injectable are yet to become apparent. Time will tell. Concerns remain. When the Pfizer product was released we were told it required two doses. Millions of us accepted that we would need to comply, for differing reasons, although not all of us
The term ‘following the science’ that we have often heard through the Covid-19 situation has always bothered me in terms of policymaking. Are the decisions this government is making for its Covid-19 response based on politics or science? Science is not a fixed position and adapts as more is known.
Here we go again. Auckland’s 90% will see them released for Christmas. Maybe. Yes. No. Possibly. With an allocated date and time slot for release. Possibly. Possibly not. With camp commandants at every border patrol stop to ensure the legitimacy of vaccination status and travel authorisation. Maybe. Definitely. Maybe
“NZ is not moving to a phase where we are just tolerating Covid around us,” […] “We are still going to have a very aggressive approach with Covid.” Jacinda Ardern tvnz The PM is not moving anywhere on her stance. She remains committed to her ideological recklessness. People though are beginning
On Sunday, we went to lunch at a local restaurant. This was the first time in months we had ventured out, as despite being in level 2, the masking requirements make any event less than satisfactory. But venture out we did, as it was a celebration. The stern sign at
Ironically lockdowns that were sold to the public as a defence against Covid-19 have made the locked down population much more susceptible to other infections. Information now out of the UK reports a new viral peril; the super cold, “the worst cold ever” that is not Covid-related but is thought
Will lockdowns never end? No, it seems, by looking at the charts of the coerced jabbed, DHB by DHB. We were promised redemption by mass compliance with a vaccine that has unproven long term results. We were promised deliverance by statistical acquiescence but against moving targets. We are to be
