In general our editorial group has the same skepticism about articles in any of Jacinda’s paid mainstream media propaganda as Jacindanistas probably take towards articles by non-paid media that are critical of her government, including us. (It’s conceivable they actually know that the Jacinda government is full of BS, but that’s unimportant to them: it’s the End-Game that matters.)
But when it comes to advocacy of ‘Jacinda’s Jabs’ by Stuff(ed) — which accepted a specific huge payment a few months ago to vigorously do that — things get really annoying.
The piece in question is headed:
“Covid-19: The financial burden of supporting unvaccinated family members“
This headline itself is neutral as there is a need to provide support for some of those who refuse to be injected with the unsafe, ineffective Pfizer substance and lose their jobs because of it; they also obviously need to find another job where they are not discriminated against.
But mixed in with the factual reporting there are the inevitable propaganda statements:
“She refuses to be vaccinated, in spite of the protection it provides herself, her whanau and her community against Covid-19, and the legal requirement – given her former role – to do so.”
The so-called ‘vaccine’ provides no protection against infection and transmission, there is overwhelming evidence now of that, and even official statements concede that. The “legal requirement” was an arbitrary government mandate for some occupations, and no longer applied once the interviewee’s relative left that role.
Although the unemployment rate is at near-record lows… Aroha believes there are many families silently facing the same dilemma as her.
The unemployment rate is significantly above the record lows, see this post from last month. Nevertheless, it is still relatively low compared with what it has been in the past.
Aroha says the stark difference in lifestyle between those leading anti-vaccine and anti-mandate protests is like night and day with their devout followers.
The direct implication is that all those organising the protests against the Jacinda government are rich, which is highly questionable. What about the devout followers of the Jacinda government like the reporter’s employer, Ms Boucher?
She is infuriated that these people could have so much influence over her sister, while she is left picking up the pieces they helped create.
What about the influence that Stuff/TV1/TV3/NZME etc, has had on those who seem to think that Jacinda’s Jabs are the secular equivalent of Holy Communion? It’s fairly clear that the interviewee has been so indoctrinated:
“If Covid spread across Northland, we would lose so many people. My sister won’t let her daughters get vaccinated either. So she is putting them at further risk as well.”
Good grief. A virus with a 99.7% survival rate would lose “so many people”? If her whanau members are obese or have serious existing conditions, it could be a little higher than that, but not by much as we’ve seen from analysis of the NZ statistics for Delta (see earlier).
There are more affluent pockets of the country where vaccination rates are lower, and these tend to correlate with known anti-vax enclaves. This includes parts of Nelson, the West Coast, and Raglan.
What exactly is an “anti-vax” enclave? Those areas where the take up of Jacinda’s Jabs is lower than the national average? Nelson is where lawyer Sue Grey is based, hence the likely reason for this reference. The West Coast [of the South Island] is more “affluent”? That may be news to those who live there.
But the hardcore Stuff/TV1/TV3 etc. political ideology comes at the end:
“My uncle says it’s hard watching our very own whānau be colonised by the Far Right with misinformation to risk their lives for nothing, and all we do is throw money at the victims.”
Yep, those terms say it all don’t they? An article sought out and composed by a deluded conspiracy theorist of the Far Left.
There is a rumor circulating that 90 doctors at Christchurch hospital have not taken the jab and that there is a form for patients to complete saying that they are ok with this before receiving any treatment from a non GMO Doctor. This is to be confirmed and is only a rumor at this stage. If this rumor is found to be true it raises all manner of questions.
CS, this is wonderful news if true. Thank heavens some people still have backbone.
All other information I have had from this source has been true to date, and they are in the medical profession and have lost colleagues to the vaccination campaign that were young fit and healthy. There is no reason for incidence of myocarditist in people in their early 30s.
The statements in the Stuff article ring true.
Putting people at risk is not just about the death rate, it is about suffering from the symptoms of Covid. The protection the vaccine offers is not against infection or transmission, but against the serious effects of Covid. For example New South Wales (with a population of 8 million) yesterday reported a record 5715 new Covid-19 cases and one new death – an increase of almost 2000 cases since the previous 24 hours. There are now 347 people in hospital with the virus, with 45 of those in intensive care. In other words, death is just the worst case scenario. A 0.3% death rate would translate to only 600 people in the 200,000 population of Northland, but hopefully perhaps the new variant is not as lethal as the Delta strain.
Other facts the author mentions? An unemployment rate at NEAR record lows; it’s at least 15 years since it has been this low. Those organising the anti-vax protests? Well Brian Tamaki for example has a net worth of several million dollars.
So while you may find it “really annoying “that the article is published by Stuff and composed by a “deluded conspiracy theorist of the Far Left”, the facts presented speak for themselves.
And just a note on CStunt’s comment; pay less attention to rumours and more to facts. The NZ Medical Council’s primary focus is public safety and has an expectation that all dental and medical practitioners will take up the opportunity to be vaccinated, unless medically contraindicated. Perhaps he has a confabulated memory of the 79 unvaccinated Canterbury DHB staff who were stood down last month.
There is no objective way of knowing whether those jabbed have had less severe experiences from covid than if they hadn’t been. All we can do is look at figures, and hope they are not being deliberately fudged. What we do know is that Delta is more contagious but less severe in effects than Alpha and Omicron is more contagious and less severe again. It’s probably at the stage where it is the equivalent of the regular flu – and in short time it may down to the equivalent of the common cold. But once again, why is your employer not pushing holistic means to achieve better health in the community? Why this obsession only with a rushed experimental treatment that clearly doesn’t do what it was claimed by Pfizer and your employer? Why not other means that have been shown to be be effective with much less severe adverse reactions? What about the several hundred who have been hospitalised with severe reactions to the Pfizer substance? What about the ongoing treatment needed for those who have been permanently injured?
My Doctor is unvaccinated, I am unvaccinated, 90% of the people I know are unvaccinated. The rumor I posted above came via the medical profession, the previous "rumors" from the same sources turned out to be true. The only people I know having issues are vaccinated. Israel is not looking to good and they are a lot further ahead on this vaccination trajectory than the rest of the world. How about you go on following your single source of truth and her fountains like STUFF and I will follow my own path and the people I trust. Lets see who needs help the most in 2 years time.

A recently published book people should read is “The State of Fear: How the UK Government weaponised fear during the covid 19 pandemic”. It describes all the tactics the British Government has taken to create a passive and submissive citizenry over the last two years. Just transpose the same to all the other western governments who are all using the same script.
A copy is available through our local SMART catalogue.
Apologies everyone. Forgot to mention that the author to the above book is Laura Dodsworth.
