If you ever wondered, as I once did, how the Nazis took control of Germany so easily, now you have your answer. People just comply. They don’t think, they don’t question… they just comply. First it was lockdowns, to save the health service (while nurses produced Tiktok videos

@gluboco Social Stigmatization This social stigmatization of opponents works. Opponents of vaccine mandates are muted with the label of “anti-vaxxers”, which in our post-Soviet society is seen as a person who is irrationally fatalistic, mystical, illiterate, selfish, anti-modern, and anti-science. That’s driven away most mainstream
The measure of a man is whether he unites or divides. Today’s face of the day knows that humanity should be fighting Covid-19 not each other. We need more men like Dave Dobbyn to counter the ongoing and increasingly nasty rhetoric demonising the unvaccinated and isolating them. Read

The undesirables were not just denied medical treatment should they dare to survive the onslaught; they were then pursued to death by formerly congenial village dentists who now appeared
Dear Editor I have a permanent ban on The BFD, but we are at such a critical point in NZ’s history that I need to write. I am a medical specialist in a DHB. I have now had both doses of the mRNA Pfizer jab, against my better judgment
Your GP is not allowed to discuss the Pfizer vaccine in relation to your health. The government and the governing body for GPs expects every eligible New Zealander to get jabbed. End. Of. Story. Every eligible New Zealander must receive the Pfizer jab. The sole exemption granted is for an
Melissa O’Hagan It probably doesn’t matter what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern does from here on in. Her legacy, in many minds, is already in place. The division of a nation. We are witnessing a disunion of our fellow citizens in a way we’ve never seen before: well
@gluboco Restaurants, Cafes, Bars Restaurants and bars also strictly enforce the Opportunity Pass. A small cafe doesn’t have the manpower of a huge business to put guards at the door to stop you from entering. But staff are strict in asking for your documents before you order. For example,
