Dear AntiVaxxer Lunatics – it’s outrageous you won’t hang me!

1. I think one needs to draw a distinct differentiation between two groups of people regarding vaccination sentiments.

   There is the anti vaccination group you are referring to, but also another group who are pro vaccine but anti authoritarianism state governance.

   The two groups are lumped together by the state to proceed with their authoritarian missive.

   Example of this is the (not being reported in NZL – surprise?) truckers convoy in Canada. They are against authoritarian vaccination mandates, not the vaccinations (90% are vaccinated).

   However the Canadian state has labelled them anti vaxers and right wing extremists. Showing that the state is tone deaf to the peoples concerns.

   The same in NZL. Try being against the authoritarian state vaccination mandates and you are automatically labelled an anti vaxer, right wing extremest and a Tamaki disciple .

   Bring up the truth that in South Auckland the scanner app is defunct or that South Aucklander’s do not go and get tested when unwell (due to draconian mandates that are all but impossible to be adhered to by the overcrowded, under payed, unsupported poor). one is labelled a spreader of misinformation. Why the labels? So that the authoritarian state and the controlling elites can keep the narrative that “all is well” if you just follow the two legged animals directions.

   Declaration: Double vaccinated and boostered (pro vaccination). Against authoritarian state vaccine mandates based on keeping control of the population through fear. Public health is no longer free of manipulation by the state and their elite advisors.

   • Strange epoch indeed we are in when the left wing are the ones demanding obedience to government will.

     • Agree it’s frightening to see our supposedly left wing Government demanding obedience?

     • it’s not obedience to govt will, it’s just the basic politeness of not wanting to infect and possibly kill your fellow kiwis….

       • Especially your family, friends and local community!
         Some of whom are immune compromised.

   • nice footwork gerrit, but there are common threads, foreign evangelical money subverting NZ democracy and rank mind numbing stupidity…but good try with the ‘good german defence’

     • Could we have a list of names of these groups, please?

2. You are in for the biggest fall in your political careers, Martyn, as the truth about the government’s Covid scam increasingly leaks past the censorship walls the globalist fascists and lie-parroting local media have erected.

   What little credibility you had has completely gone.

   • 100% MB has displayed his small box horizons and pathetic acceptance of the propaganda narrative.

     • as have you and ‘afew’ have jay, you’ve swallowed accepted and regurgitate your false propaganda narrative hook line and sinker….sooooo?

       • As have you, buddy.

   • Yep. The best case scenario now is the vaccines didn’t work (which they never would because they aren’t vaccines and are non-sterilising) with no long-term side-effects, the worst case scenario is that the vaccines didn’t work (which they never would because they aren’t vaccines and are non-sterilising) and cause long-term side-effects (e.g. myocarditis, cancer, vaccine induced infection, anti-body dependent enhancement, original antibody sin etc).

   • Afewknowthetruth-Incoherant no logic nonsense. Please try to explain wtf you’re talking about, preferably in plain English.

     • Short answer translation, “We’re all doomed.” 🙁
       (That applies no matter the weather changes, the govt changes, miracles appearing, whatever)

       (Hey, have a joyous day, AFewKnow 🙂 🙂
       … If it doesn’t hurt too much to do so…

3. A bit OTT. What’s in your water? It doesn’t matter who you are, everyone has a right to choose, and face the consequences. At this stage of the pandemic I don’t think it matters much what we do as far as mandating vaccinations. FFS we have 90%! And fewer nurses, doctors and teachers than before, duh…soon to be MIA.
   All the other measures are helping.
   The f…g music festivals are probably better at spreading than the unvaccinated but we’re all ok with that? It’s important that the teenagers born with silver spoons in their gobs get to the festivals in case it ruins the rest of their lives if they don’t.
   I’m fully jabbed FYI but I don’t believe in the downhill slope of “them”
   and “us”.

   • Not only the music festival but such things as the ‘Blackclash’ cricket event, but of course, we wont make too much of a hullaballoo about that on this website, will we. If people cant see that for the pile of hypocritical crap this whole covid beat up is they are blind.

4. JK Rowling

5. Yep, it’s an outrage that you don’t make the list, comrade Bomber! It’s almost as if these people don’t read any media other than the excrement scrawls on the wall of the Telegram echo chamber.

   • Could be they do and don’t see Martyn Bradbury a person of consequence.

6. Check out sorryantivaxxers.com for some really wacky twitter and facebook etc postings.
   There’s a lot of nutters out there!

   • There are nutters everywhere Tony, fortunately for the masses they’re successfully distracting from the real action, the sociopaths running the infinite growth on a finite planet globalisation greed machine scam, which’ll certainly reset more than misguided thinking before too long.
     But hey, who could’ve seen that coming.

7. They are doing this in response to the Government punishing the unvaxxed…also, to highlight how galaxy brained (someone who think they are intelligent, but are dumb) our leaders reply to Covid has been.

   • What would have been a better response?
     This is a genuine, sincere question. I have yet to read, anywhere, a sane answer as to what “should have been done”, once the virus escaped and the pandemic took off.

8. I thought I was Sparticus!

9. People having different perspectives in a democracy is normally healthy. Obviously, not so healthy during a deadly pandemic.

   The two things that bother me most about the anti-vax brigade is how utterly selfish they are and how absolutely certain they’re right.

   Selfishness is a personality trait I despise, especially when their actions ridicule and undermine the huge sacrifices so many of us have made for the greater good. Their actions also increase the risks to others and the prospect of longer lockdowns, the very thing they protest against.

   I can understand people not believing / trusting politicians but even blind Freddy can see there are great scientific minds at work all around the world doing all they can do to save life and find answers during a pandemic. These people devote their life to the cause yet the expert-novices are convinced they know more than the actual experts. Pope Tamaki claimed the devastating Kaikoura earthquakes were “GOD’ expressing his disapproval of homosexuality. Anyone expressing that perspective should automatically be banned for life from ever influencing any person on any topic yet Tamaki has an army of misguided halfwits convinced any perspective their messiah expresses on SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). and the vacine / mandates must be 100% correct. They are all worthy of contempt only.

   I’m also concerned at the level of misogynistic abuse directed at Ardern. I’m not an Ardern supporter but can express my disapproval of her performance oh housing for example without resorting to personal abuse. I was disgusted at what I read online about Ardern in late 2017 just prior to election day. Ardern’s grandmother sadly passed away three days out from election day so never got to see her granddaughter Jacinda Ardern become the NZ PM. Instead of feeling sadness and sympathy for her, I read hundreds of vile messages online. This was the theme. “Horse face is the sort of lowlife who will be happy her grandmother has died so she can now cash in on the sympathy vote”.

   I’ve never seen a NZ PM or any politician on the planet have their appearance mocked and ridiculed as much as Ardern has and also had their name butchered as much as Jacinda Ardern has. Neanderthals have found a slimy corner they can gather and express their appalling misogyny at a female that had the audacity to become Prime Minister of our beautiful country.

   • Your last para, yes. And now they’re extending that to the female who dared to live in and report from Afghanistan.

     • Kheala,

       Ardern’s Government has an outstanding record of making big calls……and then being humiliated into a dramatic U-Turn when they realize Kiwi’s dislike warm flat beer. The cycle lane on the Harbour Bridge just one of a long line of embarrassing U-Turns. I’m 100% certain we will see the same scenario here. The odds with the TAB of this happening tomorrow are $1.02 and shortening.

       A truly disgraceful decision that reflects very badly on those that made it and the NZ Government. “Be Kind”…yea right!

       • Yes and the commentariat are just as wrong in blaming every single misstep, every error – often made by out of touch bureaucrats, office workers and pen pushers – onto the one person, our PM.

         • Kheala,

           Wise words, but the PM has it well within her power to overrule bureaucrats especially those that make diabolical and embarrassingly inept decisions that not only totally contradict her own values but make the NZ Government look appallingly bad on the world stage.

           The PM is not in charge of housing but appointed the inept Phil Twyford as the Minister of Housing and then when he was brutally exposed replaced him with the equally inept Megan Woods. We now have an appalling housing situation that dramatically worsened under Ardern’s watch despite it creating unprecedented inequity. The buck stops at the top.

   • you must have missed the shit that Helen Clarke got thrown at her and her pantsuit.

     • I don’t remember people openly referring to auntie helen as ‘frankensteins creature’ and there is a resmblence to karloff, I was very much impressed that NZ had elected a competent (not politically my cup of tea) leader who wasn’t a barbie doll but solely on merit…I thought it ment that kiwis were more adult but how wrong I’ve been proved in the last few years

       • gagarin,

         We are reading from the same page.

         Chur

   • Yes! It’s time to push back against the vile abuse of the PM. I had a very good, intelligent friend who sends out streams of awfulness directed at the PM. Depictions of the PM As a louse, a madam in a brothel as examples made me finally ask him if a. He’d like me to be sending the same depictions of his daughter out and b. Was he sending this rubbish to her. To date no reply so I guess scratch another off the Christmas card list.

     • Kiwijoker,

       Same page bro.

   • they go for jacinda personally because they have no argument other than ‘mongo nut loike wooman’….

     the weird thing is in other areas (fill in your fave) there is more than enough tomatoes to throw at her.

10. That, @MB, was fucking hilarious.
    If antivaxxers think people who get vaccinated are as mad as they, themselves, are then no wonder they’re worried.
    It’s becoming increasingly likely, up to it being a point of certainty, that covid originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuhan_Institute_of_Virology
    That begs the question; what was Wuhan doing fucking about with a virus? To what ends? What was their prime objective? Who was funding such a mind bogglingly dangerous pursuit?
    Thank God there are minds out there who can offer up a vaccine and everyone should have it, including ones pets ffs.
    But where was that research heading, if it was…? Where IS the research heading, if it is? Because you can bet your hairy arse, just because an iteration of the virus escaped Wuhan woopsie daisy, never mind, pass another test tube would ya? That’s my deepest concern in that regard.
    Earth. Over populated, over heating, natural systems breaking down and it being only one of one ? Who do you think the novel, lab built viruses might be targeting, if that’s indeed the case? Not Ostriches or kittens would be my guess.

    • Cool it countryboy getting into possible hyperbole there,

    • a better question CB is who commissioned the wuhan labs work on potentiating the virus….clue = ask your local congressman.

      a lab accident is a lab accident more important why did countries with their own bio-warfare facilities sub contract? cheaper? yeah probably but even so….imagine the shit storm ‘2 years pandemic down to bean counters cost cutting’ now I’d buy that headline for a dollar.

    • This is a US Gov Doc, from back in 2001.
      https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-107hhrg81780/html/CHRG-107hhrg81780.htm
      ” BIOLOGICAL WARFARE DEFENSE VACCINE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM” C/P.
      That’s from back in the dark ages of 2001 – it’s probably developed a bit since then.

11. Just in from NZDSOS doctor:

    Just spoke to one of my pals who is working for the ministry of health – cases have exploded across NZ now, approaching thousands, expected to mushroom into massive numbers in the next week or two. They aren’t even bothering contact tracing anyone, they’re too overwhelmed. People are given the option to download the location info from their app if they want to but is optional. Vast majority of positives are vaxxed. Meanwhile in Nelson Marlborough at least, ED is running at 120% with no covid cases at all. https://seemorerocks.is/cases-are-exploding-across-nz/

    • Thank you for putting up this site I needed a good laugh.I feel secure in my thinking of the value of the vaxing to know that Andrew Wakefield is in the opposing camp

      • AW has my vote for the worst human being on the face of the planet.

    • with 90percent vaxxed it’s expected that most omnicron cases will be vaxxed speak to your ‘contact’ (someone down the pub isn’t a ‘contact’) in a few weeks and let us know how many serious cases are unvaxxed and how many routine treatments are being delayed because the unvaxxed are disproportionately hogging resources, your ministry deep throat should have no probs finding that data

12. From that linked page of people they want to ‘take out’ or whatever, the list seems to include the entire list of MPs, across the board. Including Hipango, who’s on the anti-v’s side, and Seymour, who’s all about their “Freedumbs”.

    It reads more like a 12 year old Guy Fawkes wannabe’s compilation.

13. I think you’ve just been noticed. The good news is that hanging is way better than beheading as disciplinary action.

    • Hanging better than beheading? Is there a site for reviews from users on this matter?

14. Newshub is the biggest propaganda outlet in NZ, referencing them is scraping the botton of the barrel.

    If people can prove legally a crime(s) have been committed surely applying the law is reasonable.

    NZ has a pretty broken justice system though.

15. No, I’m Sparticus!

    • Ah but is MB Spartacus with an ‘a’?

16. Netsafe and that mad lady with pink hair will also be charged, as will many other collaborators.

    • Ethan Woke – Your name is mad, but having pink hair like Siouxsie is not, just different, and being so doesn’t mean she is mad. We still are allowed to be different – till…
      • Oh, good one,…’Greywarbler’.
        Thank you for so ironically demonstrating such a primitive hypocritical spectacle of the restricted cognitive capacities available to the mind behind ‘Greywarbler’.
        You’ve also earned the NZ “Baigan king/queen” of the year nomination, just as has genius-kid, aka; “Thinking-Man”.

        • is Gibberish your first language ‘name’ I do have to say you’re completely fluent in it.

17. No. I am Spartacus. 😉

18. bunch of muppets..c’mon cops do what you do with greenpeace, grubby punk rockers and stoned hippies…oh shit no that’s right anti-vaxxers ain’t ‘lefties’ so are no threat to our democracy.
    If I state that maybe just maybe there should be a debate over trans women competing in womens sport then I’m himmler but these fuck-ohs get a free pass and still whine like little kids that ‘whaaah whaaah whaaahhhh NZs a police state…..they should try their beta crap in a real police state…I’d give ’em 10 minutes tops.

    • Report on how its going in sport where a man who feels like a woman competing with women who feel like women. Fasci..nating. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10445679/Lia-Thomas-UPenn-teammate-says-trans-swimmer-doesnt-cover-genitals-locker-room.html

19. You’re a fucking wanker. Did you ever consider the very real dangers of mRNA gene therapy. The long term effects are unknown but can be guessed at with the information at hand. People can be very concerned about mandates, about loss of income and their health without all the crap you’re accusing them of. Get your head out of your butt.

    • My name is Karen,

      Congratulations,

      You’ve been awarded the well earned title of “NZ EGGPLANT OF THE YEAR”.

    • “The long term effects are unknown but can be guessed at with the information at hand”.

      Guessing is usually not a reliable strategy, in any situation, but you’re welcome to it. As for the information at hand. Reliable is it? Trustworthy? Granted, the old litmus test problably doesn’t work so well in a post-truth world but … well, only some believe in fairies.

      • Bozo,

        Your perspective is fairly typical of those refusing to take a vaccine or who are at least vaccine hesitant during a deadly pandemic.

        Allow me to ask you a series of questions.

        You stated the long term effects of the vaccine are unknown. Are you aware of the short term effects / consequences of not taking the vaccine? You do appreciate we are deceased for a very long time? What point is there worrying yourself about your long term future when you may not even have a short term future? Are you aware of the long term effects / consequences many of the foods you eat? Have you looked into it? When people get very sick with Covid, are you aware of the long term effects / consequences of the harsh drugs used to help save you in ICU? You’ll be aware of the risks in driving a car or being a passenger on an aircraft. Do you still use those modes of transport? If so why? Calculated risk?

        Have you ever taken any vaccines? Have you studied the potential long term effects / consequences of other vaccines?

        Do you support the freedom of cigarette smokers that feel it’s reasonable to smoke inside a vehicle containing other passengers that don’t smoke cigarettes?

        Experts agree the true number of deaths from Covid now far exceed 20 million people. It’s a fact that the overwhelming majority of those deaths were with unvaccinated people. If it was possible to go back in time and show each one of those deceased people their future, what percentage of them do you think would go and get vaccinated immediately? 100% ?

        What is your medical and scientific background? How many decades have you spent all day every day studying viruses and vaccines?

        Prior to a vaccine arriving what was the best weapon in the toolbox in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) battle ? The lockdowns have without doubt saved countless lives. Maybe your own or someone close to you. Is that important to you?

        The vast majority of the world even including those that despise politicians, know the vaccine is easily the best weapon in the Covid battle. Do you agree? If not, what is your alternative solution to keeping you and your loved ones above ground? Is that solution practical for over 7 billion other people on planet Earth?

        Why do you draw a parallel with those trusting the vaccine with those that believe in Fairies ? Pope Tamaki makes all sorts of ridiculous claims yet some feel he believes in the biggest fairy of them all. Do you support Tamaki ?

        • All good questions Thinking Man.

          But you seem to have grasped the wrong end of the stick. My reply was directed @ My Name is Karen. I should have made that explicit – although I would have thought my reference to guesswork on the one hand and reliability and trustworthiness on the other pointed to my disagreement with all those who take an anti-vax position.

          Just goes to show eh how inperfect digital communication can be.

          • Bozo,

            My bad.

            Please accept my apologies.

        • The total no of deaths from all causes last year was just under 60 million. As a proportion of total population 7.54 per thousand. the previous 3 years it had been 7.6. down steadily from around 12 in the early 70’s. The people who have died last year from all causes + covid are less than average, so statistically all the people who died of covid last year were going to die of something anyway. Most certainly a cursory glance at statistics does not find any excess deaths, certainly not 20M. The total mortality would have been around 80 Million instead of 60.
          However this year is looking like it night be different. Life insurance companies in the US are finding claims in the 18 to 60 age group are up this year by 40%. And it is from a variety of causes mostly related to side effects from the vaccines. Insurance claims for deaths that are proven to be caused by the vaccine however, rather from a range of immune deficiencies with the cause hard to be sure of, are being rejected on the grounds that taking the vaccine was a known risk taken voluntarily.

    • Do you seriously believe that Covid has caused no harm?

    • karen karen dear sad little karen, do you even know what gene therapy is?….come back when you have even an inkling of anything other than your own butt crack…’you fucking wanker'(quote)

20. What is New Zealand coming to? We are not looking far enough down the rabbithole, if we think Daniel Suter, Sue Grey and Liz Gunn or some other Karens and Haretes run the “death list”. There are darker forces near the end of the rabbithole, whispering in the ears of the feeble-minded followers, like some nightmarish conglomeration of Jabba the Hutt, Gollum without a conscience, Bealzebub, Goebbels, the Dirty Politics rabid right wing in NZ and the Ridley Scott Alien. Groundswell, Freedumb Coalition are New Zealand’s US style Tea Party. They whip up fervour and hatred, gathering the conspiracy theorists, the disaffected Incels, Facebook algorithm zombies, weasel-worded televangelists and head-scarf religions into a toxic soup of bile and hate. What group of conservative slimebags are behind this all? The conjecture and clues always lead to the same rabid, rancid cabal – The Dirty Politics crew.

    We saw this sort of Orwellian Hate speech during the January 6th storming of the Capitol building insurrection, with “Hang Mike Pence!” They even had erections of gallows. And who were the front people for that Hate Speech – Trump and his cabal?

    In New Zealand here, we are seeing similar Hate Speech: Anti-vax protesters heckle Holocaust remembrance speech:https://www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/127630424/antivax-protesters-heckle-holocaust-remembrance-speech?fbclid=IwAR2FSwFxx3aosKeFNvxK4Ux81YnYXtkYNU6JGjdUkiyu8Egax3JluZSS8ik

    A video seen by Stuff of Pallett’s speech showed shouting erupt nearby when she spoke about the anti-vax movement’s use of references to the Holocaust.

    ”We have seen that hideous yellow star misappropriated and worn by small groups of people who haven’t experienced a day of real oppression in their lives.

    “This attitude is utterly inaccurate, profoundly offensive, and it should be challenged loudly at every opportunity,” she told attendees.

    Density Church claimed Christchurch https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-shooting/112268320/destiny-church-members-reclaim-christchurch-for-jesus Really? After 51 Muslims were murdered, in the name of hatred, Density spits and froths on their graves.

    On March 21, Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki tweeted his objection to the national broadcast of the first call to prayer.

    “PM Jacinda Ardern has Abused her Prime Ministerial Decree in allowing “Allah as th Only True God” to be Sounded in Muslim Prayer across the air waves in our Nation Tomrw,” he wrote.

    “This is Offensive to all True Christians in Aotearoa..Our National Identity is at stake.”

    Head-shaking here while I type this. New Zealand is being overrun by tea-party-style divisiveness, emboldened by Steve Bannon and Joe Rogan types. Good to see Neil Young and Joni Mitchell removing their catalogues from a Spotify platform that won’t censure Rogan’s anti-vax pulpit of hate. https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/29/22907696/joni-mitchell-spotify-joe-rogan-podcast-misinformation-covid-19.

    But, the dirty politics and hate in New Zealand runs deeper than Auckland MMA training facility, deeper that City Gym or Rogan’s antivaxxer and hate and division is being intensified daily. The Death List is disgusting Martyn. I hadn’t heard about this till I read your blogpost. I hope you don’t end up on it. New Zealand needs a counterpoint to the Dirty Politics of hate, threats and division. Be safe Martyn.

    • Oh yes. It’s a global rise of the christian fascism, the middle and low income classes have been pushed into an economic corner by the right wing neoliberal paradigm and are being gulled into blaming the liberal left.
      The christian fascists can’t believe the power they now find themselves able to wield and US church money flows globally.

    • What a great comment to read – a real voice of sanity.

    • good post george old bean…

21. Hi Martyn
    We’r fine thanks! And how are you in yourself?
    I think you have to be in a position of responsibility to qualify for legal action, so I’m sorry but you don’t register on scale. Comment is free in a Democracy that champions free speech. You can say whatever you like.
    As you will know there is a huge case being brought to the Hague by Rainer Fuellmich et al along these lines. So we will see what we will see.
    D J S

    • Fuellmich and his 3 mates are taking their time perhaps he should get Sue Grey to help them (you know the one that has yet to win an employment case on the mandated action ) After this case perhaps they should work on stopping 5G and then look into the chemtrails

      • BUUUTTTT I’m vaxxed so my magnetic personality is 5g capable….will I still be able to access the internet by scratching my arse?

22. The funny thing is that we will all be unvaxxed in 6 months time

23. More evidence of the mental health problems facing our society.

    • Pete. It’s always been there. Identity Politics let it run loose and also weaponised it as an aggressive weapon or a victim handle. Either way its mental behaviour.

24. I think that there is an opportunity for praise that has been overlooked. That is the brave and determined manner that antivaxxers have shown in putting themselves into the front lines with this disease.
    Looking at the statistics it is so obvious that the systems set up to protect the community are working while
    the antivaxxers stand above all. I wouldn’t have the guts to do this, and choose the unknowns of refusing vaccines like lifelong weakness from Long Covid over the unknowns of receiving them, for 99%? arm soreness and possible worrying pains for a few days.

    Looking at the latest Covid stats as visualisations –
    for New hospitalisations the figure is 83% unvaxxed and 17% partly vaxxed.
    for deaths from the Delta outbreak, it is 10 for unvaxxed, 2 for partly and 3 for fully vaxxed.
    (So Covid may still carry you off if you are really sick though vaxxed.)
    Overall there are 1,405 active cases in NZ.
    https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/450874/covid-19-data-visualisations-nz-in-numbers

    • Most anti vaxxers are so blinded by ideology (if not by low intellect) they are incapable of rational risk analysis.

      • You make a point RC that needs looking at. The ability to make decisions based on a reading of the facts and likelihoods and choose the best available if a decision must be made. So many things to make decisions about so why is that not taught in schools. Life is so complex at present and will continue to be so till everything collapses and there are only two ways to choose from. Also would be helpful when looking at political elections. How to choose the best of faulty systems.

        At school they could start off with: If there is a choice when wanting to travel between rail which might break down, and an airplane which might break down – which would a thoughtful person choose. Let’s think for a second….

25. With the revelation that the PM is a possible ‘Spreader’ due to her governments lacklustre MoH services, contact tracers taking a week to pick it up and notified people who were on the flight.

    Or is this just more vertue signalling?

    • MTL Love that story. I’d have just told himto fuck off. In English then Mndarin if I’d known how. Must look it up

      • Mandarin

26. Every year when I moan that I never get to win Time magazine Man of the Year award Mum suggests I should stop bumming around, get of me arse, and do something to get noticed.

    • They’re looking for a locum PM at the moment. Turn up and apply, they’ll fall on yur neck!

27. NO NO NO – I am Sparticus!

28. Comrade, if I could Hazzard a guess as to why you don’t receive the hatred other figures do is because you don’t deserve it. You get for a lot of people these protests are a symptom of a greater problem which is inequality and alienation caused by the neoliberal state making quality of life progressively worse.

    The angry protesters are mad about a whole bunch of stuff but the media only focuses on the vax, it seems to be a coalition of angry people who are angry about housing, inequality, their kids futures, free speech, surveillance, corporate control of NZ and their living standards going down.

    You may rightly attack the nutters on their conspiracy bs but you’re equal opportunity and call out bs and unfairness on all sides

    When people were saying throw the anti vaxers off the dole you said no ( I wrongly said yes)

    You’ve always said vaxes couldn’t be forced on people.

    You called out the media for saying the protests were dangerous and violent (while pointing out that there is potential for violence in future if inequality gets worse)
    You understand the difference between the hesitant and the conspiracy theorists.

    Some of the figures in NZ media and academia are constantly on some sort of witch hunt looking for people who disagree with the mainstream on one thing, you don’t do that, I’ve seen blogs where you try to get into the mind set of all sides.

    At the end of the day for a lot of people the anti vax protests (or anti passport ones) are an angry reaction and a symptom to a larger problem in NZ about inequality, class, alienation, this pandemic was the perfect storm for all the seeds planted in the last 38 years to come to fruition.

    I have no truck with conspiracy theorists either but I’ve always thought you’ve been pretty good at addressing and communicating the fears of people who were hesitant, angry or just don’t trust the govt.

    Sorry for the rant and happy birthday for last Tuesday.

29. So the way I read it if you are,

    Unvaccinated, you are an anti-vax right wing nut job.

    Vaccinated but anti mandate, you are an anti-vax right wing nut job.

    Vaccinated, want mandates, but are against the Covid Tracer app, you are an anti-vax right wing nut job.

    Vaccinated, agree with mandates, use the Tracer app, want stricter MIQ, trust big pharma but think Jacinda is out of depth, you are an anti-vax right wing nut job.

    Did I miss anything out?

    • Unvaccinated but had two shots and three boosters?

      • Sorry, yep, my bad.

        BTW what does “vaccinated” mean anymore? I guess since Robertson said that’s there’s no fourth vaccine coming (although he has history of being too difinative), in 6 months time we’ll all be anti-vax right wing nut jobs, including Martyn.

    • yup unvaxxed corpses.

30. You are a necessary change, Martyn. Sorry. My posts have not been posted. The change you represent is a tragedy for our children. I cry for the world you usher in

31. I used to wonder about Martyn. Not that I used to wonder about Martyn. When he was editor OR Co-editor of Craccum….I used to be a little child

32. I remember the days that the University censored Craccum. We couldn’t get it. What, pray tell… was their crime?

33. Oh yes, that’s right. It was rights and freedom. Law. Law. Law. Law law. Law. Once upon a time, Martyn Bradbury cared about the law. If you, ‍♀️ Martyn, wants to respond…..? Then go for it. Fucking go for it. If you dare!!!!!!

34. There were plenty other responses unpublished. And there are plenty other moments that there are unpublished. There are many statements of unreckoning unpublished. Many have become umwary of unrecogning

35. Yes how about the 70km long stream of trucks heading into Ottawa over the last couple of days or the massive worldwide protests against the COVID mandates or the fact the UK, Czech Republic, Norway, Sweden and others are putting an end to this nonsense. Or the fact Norway and Sweden have declared vaccines for kids too risky to justify. Not to mention concerns from medical experts……and data that proves there are legitimate concerns that need exploring. Or the growing list of claims in Australia alone for vaccine injuries…….

    • Or the 2000 daily deaths in America, 90% unvaccinated. There are trucks heading there also, but they are refrigerated trucks.

    • substantiate and cite sources for australian vax reactions…yeah right..

      please note…a florida mans fake dead aussie kid doesn’t count nor does the rightard rumour mill, a direct comparison with the total number of doses given would be handy too.

      YEAH RIGHT.

      • What about all the bogus statistics tacked onto covid to boost numbers that had nothing whatsoever to do with the patients deaths. Comorbidity’s such as age, chronic illness and the immunocompromised. But because they had that AS WELL as ‘covid’.- suddenly its this mass killer disease rivalling the Spanish Flu’s 555,000,000 global deaths! L0L ! What’s worse, – now they are trying to push the same narrative about omicron!,…

        A ‘disease’ reported by top South African doctors as presenting with runny nose, sore throat and maybe a headache, and that only AFTER children came into hospital presenting with unrelated illness or injury, – and virtually everyone shook it off in around 2 days like a head cold.

        FFS, y’all, get a grip .

        Deadly disease my ass.

36. There are a lot of ‘Spartacus’s’ these days.
    Wahine toa self-appointed types. Hero’s/Heroines in their own underpants that make claims that they speak to their tupuna and their sex gives them a privileged position to pontificate about things that they have no fuck’n idea about.

    Society as a whole has been on this path of destruction for some time now and with the global outlook, it’s nearing the implosion point.

    When you have ‘Global’ social unrest, economic instability, irreversible environmental destruction, political fuckwittedness, and the oligarchy billionaires filling their boots with all the booty!

    There is only one thing left….yes there must be a ‘Spatatcus’ somewhere.

37. Stupid trolls think they are being so ‘free’ but they’re just pawns of American billionaires: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/10/hacker-x-the-american-who-built-a-pro-trump-fake-news-empire-unmasks-himself/

    I know we should all be tolerant, but arrest these morons – they’re inciting violence, which is illegal.
