Dear Editor

I sent the following e-mail to the PM.

You, Jacinda Ardern, Have Made NZ, My Country, an Unsafe Place for Me.

I am a healthy, youthful in appearance, 66-year-old mother, grandmother and wife.

I have a masters level degree. I worked for the last 26 years of my professional life in mental health.

I, my children and my grandchildren have all had past recommended vaccinations.

I reserve my right to decline a new medication, the Covid injection, until I am completely satisfied that it is the right thing for me. This is likely to not be until I have seen five years of safety and efficacy data.

I prefer to take the risk of being infected with the virus rather than be injected with a new medicine.

I am alarmed at the vitriol and discrimination that I am being subjected to by politicians, media and the public at my decision to exercise rights I believed this country embraced.

Will you respect and uphold my right to exercise my own decisions about how to manage my personal health?

I look forward to your reply.

Jennifer Streeter

Even if he has managed to corral enough MPs to back him, he has been so hobbled by the speculations over his leadership that his already lame prime ministership has been made even lamer, making it likely he limps to the election finish line in second place.

If he could do the job as well as he handles foreign affairs then the country would indeed be better off. Who knows what the polls might throw up between now and the election but one thing is for certain, Winston and NZ First are on a roll.
