Coronavirus: Jacinda Ardern announces end to traffic light COVID-19 restrictions
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced the end to New Zealand’s traffic light system and most mask requirements.
From Tuesday, the COVID-19 traffic light system is no longer and masks will only be required in healthcare and aged care settings. Only COVID-19-positive individuals will have to isolate for seven days from now on. There are no longer isolation requirements for household contacts.
All Government vaccine mandates will come to an end on September 26, while vaccination requirements for incoming travellers and air crews are being removed.
While this marks an end to most COVID-19 requirements, leave support payments will still be available for unwell Kiwis.
The State’s boot upon our throat has finally lifted and we are free to be selfish arseholes again!
What a ride it’s been folks.
A once in a century pandemic, a State that had underfunded and run down its heath services suddenly having to deal with an enormous public health crises, Kiwi solidarity in the height of uncertainty, Business screaming, a surge in disinformation, Dumb Lives Matter protests, the largest wealth transfer in NZs history with a Trillion going to the richest and the most vulnerable being left behind because the stagnant nature of NZs inequality got worse not better.
We agreed to vast curtailing of our civil liberties, we collectively sacrificed and we’ve ended up more divided than ever.
Hardly a fucking victory parade through the streets of Rome is it?
There are of course political winners and losers of Covid Restrictions finally ending.
WINNERS:
Jacinda – She led this country through an unprecedented event. Her courage, her leadership, her empathy and compassion saved this country and for that, and that alone, she deserves your vote in 2023.
Civil Liberty – Gaining back agency for individuals is important in any democracy.
Democracy – This was our system working. The State makes a decision to restrict our civil liberties following the best medical science and the moment that medical threat is neutralised, the State hands back the civil liberties. This is our system at its best.
Science – We listened to it, and it worked. Now do climate change.
LOSERS:
Political Right – Will the restrictions and people’s natural friction to them still be an issue in 13 months time for the Right? Not really. There’s a fundamental difference between, ‘it took too long’ and ‘they still haven’t made the changes’.
Qanon feral antivaxers – These fucking lunatics who claimed Jacinda was taking over with a Police state were always off the fucking planet. Now Jacinda has reset our agency, all that nonsense garbage can be called out for what it always was, the ravings of sad, lonely, desperate fear grifters.
Mask Identititarians – Those who have welded strict Covid restrictions onto their identity while micro aggression policing anyone who infringed that has been an enormous emotional crutch of superiority that they will find very difficult to give up. These people give their masks pronouns. They will wail, they will scream, they will vote Green, but no one cares anymore.
Disabled Community – Once again left behind. The appalling way they were only given 24 hours to respond simply highlights the manner in which they have always been bullied by the majority. Surely a lesson here is that the pittance we provide in resource, benefits, housing and medical services needs an enormous injection of funding, as compensation for deciding to lift Covid restrictions.
Old people – Covid is still an illness that kills mostly old people. We hate old people in NZ, that’s why the corporate retirement gulags are so hideous. They will continue to die but we won’t really care unless they die so much it impacts the rest off us somehow.
PREDICTIONS:
Here’s the naked truth. Covid is a novel virus, it’s spent the last couple of years being as transmissible as possible, but that is being thwarted by vaccinations, so its evolutionary energy will now go into getting around the hosts immunity.
We haven’t seen the last of Covid and the real possibility of a new, much more deadly mutation of the virus simply can’t be ruled out.
We also aren’t taking into account long covid and the damage on the heart Covid causes.
Truancy is through the roof thanks to the break down of Covid and our collective mental health has been hurt.
None of this heals easily, especially with the possibility of new outbreaks.
We survived the Covid Battle, I don’t know how we will live the Covid Peace and it’s not clear if the Covid War has actually ended.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Also losers are those excess deaths that no one can explain but somehow seems correlated with the jab.
That is going to be an ongoing conundrum as the SAD (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) count mounts. In NZ, I predict they’re going to attempt to chalk it up to Covid itself – since just about everyone is jabbed and just about everyone got infected anyway – it’s easy here in NZ to blame SADS on the virus as opposed to the jab. Obviously there is already extensive science being done on this (and it’s damning), but this won’t be covered by the MSM so no-one will know any better.
Oh dear. Please provide the extensive science.
Everytime I post links to peer-reviewed science articles (and I do it often) here they don’t get approved. Apparently science is only “science” when it supports the story you’re being sold (which right now is still Pfizer and Fauci).
@Wheel here’s a review including ‘SAD’ from a medical professional who over the last few years has been ahead of the curve from the need to take a new virus outbreak in China seriously, to vaccination development, long covid, rare side effects of mRNA vaccines and now excess deaths not attributed to COVID.
In the latter case it is far too early to say what the cause is, but SAD/excess deaths is a real phenomenon.

“We haven’t seen the last of Covid and the real possibility of a new, much more deadly mutation of the virus simply can’t be ruled out.”
This is true but the evolutionary trajectory of ‘respiratory’ viruses tends towards increased infectiousness and decreased virulence as a host that looks and feels healthy enough to socialise facilitates spread. A new mutation is extremely likely, a more deadly mutation extremely unlikely.
Here’s one: “‘Ethically Unjustifiable’ – Scientists from Harvard & Johns Hopkins Found Covid-19 Vaccines 98 Times Worse Than the Virus” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/09/ethically-unjustifiable-new-harvard-johns-hopkins-study-found-covid-19-vaccines-98-times-worse-disease/
“since just about everyone is jabbed and just about everyone got infected anyway”
Not sure where you get those stats. Please explain?
1,762,125 cases with 1962 deaths and a population of just over 5 million at 13th September is not “just about everyone got infected anyway”
https://www.bing.com/search?q=How+many+people+in+NZ+got+covid&form=ANNTH1&refig=f9f70933c9c149c88f0f9ca284890d18
Your opinion on SADS is deeply flawed an is so far down the the conspiracy hole that well, I feel quite “sad” for you.
The number of reported cases is well short of the number of actual cases though Bert. A few months back Bloomfield & co estimated that only around half of the cases were being reported. Seems unlikely but on that basis there could be up to four million cases, most people IOW. Many infections are dealt with by the body’s natural defences with few symptoms or symptoms little different from the common cold or flu, I know a lot of people that had covid symptoms, or even a positive RAT test, but didn’t report it.
In the UK they have, effectively, banned the vaccine for under 12s – it’s only available by doctor request for kids with high risk other factors. The jab riskier that the covid?
The Jab riskier than the virus?.
Can you provide evidence, no one has yet.
I can only offered reported figures. It was reported by an epidemiologist that the real figure is about 50 % of the population have had covid . So I will make it clear to you David, that is still not ” just about everyone got infected”. Not one person can give a number of deaths created by the vaccine itself compared to actual covid deaths. Saying the vaccine is riskier than covid is simple scaremongering and unless you can prove otherwise I’ll take the advice from people the likes of whom created the Polio, measles, hepatitis etc etc etc vaccines.
Those other vaccines are completely different though Bert, they are vaccines in the proper meaning of the word.
I see that Denmark has now banned the covid “vaccines” for all under fifty unless they have high risk factors.
Was common sense amongst the fatalities?
andy do feel free to show the correlation with actual figures ‘the internet school of virology’ is not an acceptable source…c’mon you must have evidence or what is your ‘opinion’ based on?
What “correlation”? Excess deaths are up by 20% in Victoria. This is a fact, easily verifiable.
I haven’t made any claims that it is the jab causing these excess deaths, but one would think it worth looking into.
then verify it andy….
‘correlation’ in this case means match your unsubstantiated claims with actual facts….sorry if it was above your cognitive pay grade.
You forgot:
LOSERS
The NZ public
because Labour still blocking a Covid Royal Enquiry (let’s see how all that 50-60 billion was spent)
Exactly Im Right
Covid fatalities per capita in total are higher than in Aussie and the UK. So much for Ardern’s performative caring.
Meanwhile we have children who would never have suffered from Covid but have lost 2 years education and the high street blighted with ‘To Let’ signs because of lockdown bankruptcies.
Andrew, that’s completely wrong.
UK has had ~3,070 deaths per million so far, (206K deaths, 67 million population)
NZ has had ~380 deaths per million so far. (1962 deaths, 5.2 million population)
For NZ to be anywhere near the UK in terms of COVID deaths we would have needed 16,000 deaths here …
Meaning NZ has had about a tenth of the deaths from COVID that the UK has had per capita.
You are completely wrong on the numbers. Out by a factor of 10 in fact …
Tray again.
Covid confirmed cases in NZ = 1,962 as of today
Yes, that’s exactly the number I said. Did you not read my comment where I quoted that exact number? See the bits in the brackets where I outlined the calculation?
Tell me, with 1962 deaths, how many deaths is that per 1 million population? And what’s the UK deaths per 1 million population?
You are out by a factor of almost 10 – making your statement patently false.
andy pulling a shapiro regularly fails.
I disagree that truancy is up – you have fallen into a right wing talking point there. There is a much larger contingent of students who have not attended 90% of the school year, but given that they have to stay home for the slightest sniffle and then for a week if anyone in their family gets covid then that is not a surprise.
There is a world of difference between truancy and justified absence.
Where did I mention truancy?
Mask identitarians. Oh My God, Yes.
On par with entitled bicyclists.
I will keep wearing N95 mask or better until variant proof, sterilizing vax rolled out. And I can get cheap, effective treatment for Chronic Covid.
We are in the middle of a pandemic.
AND NO-ONE knows if the next variant will be more or less virulent or what mortality level
personally my mask gives me some protection from the pestilent exhaust of others if anti maskers want their choice fine, I have my choice but the 1st one to pass a comment will regret it.
Good on ya moon rekt, nothing wrong with protecting yourself. One thing I’ve learned is that wearing a mask and other healthy living tweaks are sensible if we feel vulnerable to catching things. I remember 3 years ago I scoffed at seeing the add Asian around wearing a mask. I don’t scoff now. I’ve still not caught covid yet n am no longer fearful too, but I did catch my first common cold last week, first in many years. Caught from workmate who’d run out of sick days n came to work coughing and snotting all round the workplace and lunch room. No mask. I find that a bit shocking now, people not wearing masks when they are sick.
“I will keep wearing N95 mask or better until variant proof, sterilizing vax rolled out. And I can get cheap, effective treatment for Chronic Covid.
We are in the middle of a pandemic.”
Sensible you.
Me too, after all, how hard is it to wear a mask? it’s certainly easier than wearing a CPAP or BiPAP mask or being intubated, I know that, I been on those things.
Nah, I’ll also wait for the figures to come down to effectively zero or more effective vaccine arrives..
And entitled bigoted antivaxers.
if anti vaxxers are laughing they’ll shut up when polio gets here and their unvaxxed kids are killed or crippled, well don’t come crying to me, no fucks to give sorry.
….and yes that is a callous stance but they bring it on themselves.
It’s not callous @gargarin. Most of ‘US’ humans and huwomans in this teaming of 5 million have only been equipped with a finite amount of emotional capital (in this space, going forward).
In my case, I’d rather spend my emotional capital on things like modern day slavery, or victims of our declining and heartless state apparatus.
I’ve even put this year’s deliverables into the project plan and called in a consultant or two to do “a piece of work” on the Emotional Expenditure Key Performance Indicators.
It’s not cheap
I presume you are assuming that anyone who rejected the CV jab ( as I did) are also against all vaccines, which simply isn’t true .
I’m OK with tried and tested jabs such as Tetanus etc,
andy the measles vaccine groundless kerfuffle/grift illustrates the attitude andy…if vaxxed my comments obviously don’t apply wilfully unvaxxed and you take yours and your loved ones chances…it’s on no-ones head but their own….so you won’t find me crying for the gentle hearted, loving aspiring all black and DJ for what their parents have done to them
I’m unjabbed and got a mild dose of CV back in April.
I don’t need to worry about blood clots, myocarditis, long term immunity issues, fertility issues, etc.
You can thank me later for being part of the control group, for which I am a registered member.
Probably lucky you didn’t get side effects from the Tetanus jab, the vaccination for Tetanus also had side effects too, even though it was “tried and tested”
Polio has returned. anyone care to ask why? In fact, why are so many previously, contained ailments (in my view) hitting the headlines now?
in the case of the UK unregulated capitalism pouring raw shit into the rivers and sea.
In the age of Covid where most people, let alone most authorities, are conscious of good health practices now, you would think the UK would know better!
Still, there is near half a billion people living in poorly sanitized conditions in the world. Thank goodness polio hasn’t come their way to date.
WHO piece on the importance of sanitation. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/sanitation
Gus, you mean entitled bigoted vaxholes. I hope you’ve had your fourth and clamouring for number 5.
And just like that, I have captured one.

Sorry to hear you missed out on getting on the board Off White…
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/129852096/huge-relief-as-white-supremacist-finishes-last-in-christchurch-school-board-election
Well done Gus, you’re obviously some sort of super sleuth. Stuff has served you well.
Well with what you give us it wasn’t hard.
Happy to take number 5 and 6 and 7 just like I get the flu shot each year. It is called being sensible and taking advantage of what science has to offer . If you want to depend on lotions and potions from some pretend healer go right ahead .
“On par with entitled bicyclists.”
Oh man, XRAY and his bicycles.
It’s just sad.
“Mask Identititarians” is an odd thing to point out without acknowledging the other side of the coin. All those drop kicks that went on like wearing a mask for a few minutes in a supermarket was akin to the end of democracy, rather than trying help out the vulnerable.
I am already waiting for Frank to jump in and say masks don’t work. Oddly enough other countries that have already dropped mask wearing saw their infections rates go up. No that is not a clinical study, but it’s pretty f*cking obvious that impeding access to the mouth and nose will do airborne transmission no favours, however imperfect.
““Mask Identititarians” is an odd thing to point out without acknowledging the other side of the coin.”
Agreed, perhaps Martyn has been called out some place where he should have been wearing a mask. No one likes to be reprimanded.
While the public health directives for mask wearing were in place it was perfectly reasonable to expect people to respect them. It’s the selfish few pathetics who thought that non-compliance was some sort of brave badge of identity that are the losers. The rest of us were given the opportunity to identify such “Karens” amongst us.
Au contrare, Martyn- the biggest winners are the antivaxers and libertarians who worship ‘freedumb’ as a God above all others, who were entirely correct in pointing out that Jacinda’s weak and ineffectual half-measure did nothing and simply interfered with people going about their lives no differently from how they would anyway. If they had cared about people there would have been real lockdowns. As it was, they should just have taken the Brian Tamaki line as they are now- the effect is the same.
The vulnerable people who were supposedly supposed to be protected have already been dying en masse, and that will only marginally increase now.
Ardern is spending billions on new revenue-collection speed cameras, claiming that it’s going to reduce the few hundred road deaths that occur each year. Meanwhile, we’re looking at thousands of unnecessary deaths from COVID, but those weren’t enough to justify taking real action, I guess.
We did have “real” lockdowns. As for the antivax crowd you say they were pointing out “half measures”. Some may have been, while others were seeing if spoons stuck to those vaccinated, and complained of microchips in vaccines etc. Absolute fruit cakes.
Really? Was Auckland actually locked down when Ardern dropped any attempt to stop the spread of COVID? A city as low density as Auckland would only have needed two-three weeks of actual lockdown to stop the spread. Instead the virus was allowed to run out of control.
There is no difference between Brian Tamaki and Jacinda Ardern, except the latter pretends to care more about vulnerable people, while objectively being no different.
Why don’t you post a credible link to support your “have already been dying en masse” claim?
Thousands of people dying from COVID isn’t ‘en masse’? Au contraire
Still not a link
Thousands isn’t but millions is.
When addressing the one off public holiday for remembering the queens life, Barry Sopers child bride Heather DPA stated it will be hard on business due to Labour having had us locked down for a ridiculously long time.
She then stated we should have a public holiday to commemorate the Queen.
How long has Newstalk ZB been a right wing propaganda station?
They also fall under the loser category.
My only quibble is the lack of mask wearing on public transport. Some of the people vulnerable to infection risk use public transport (some sort of commuter car service might be developed if this pandemic lingers on). This should be the first thing to return if new case numbers surge.
SPC. There is no doubt public transport is a weak link but we aren’t being told not to wear a mask we are being told we are not required to wear a mask. If anyone is worried, just wear a mask.
Then let them stay fucking home.
or of course the freedumbers could just stay at home jays….or is your freedumb better than my freedom?
Agreed New View.
There is a mutuality involved.
The amount of viral load in the air of the enclosed space will be much less if everyone is wearing masks.
One person wearing a mask in a heavily infected space for long periods is at much greater risk.
But is still a lesser risk than not wearing a mask. You can’t legislate for idiocy for ever. Hopefully the majority of those who are symptomatic with Covid or colds will stay home.
The Govt.waved the white flag on COVID months ago. Once the PM used that word made ugly by business and the entitled…CERTAINTY…you knew it was now officially everyone for themselves.
The Wellington rabble got what they wanted, the FB whingers, misogynists and arseholes got what they wanted, aggrieved thickos across the land got what they wanted. And Martyn is correct in that it is a good look for the state to actually return rights for once, but I would argue it is too soon for public health. But not too soon for political reasons.
There is a meme that still rings true–“wearing a mask is both an IQ test and an empathy test”, I for one will keep wearing a mask in appropriate settings. Have already been abused in Far North where I live for wearing one in Mangonui by Sovereign supporters.
A lot has changed for ever during COVID if you have been paying even some attention.
“The Govt.waved the white flag on COVID months ago……
….The Wellington rabble got what they wanted, the FB whingers, misogynists and arseholes got what they wanted, aggrieved thickos across the land got what they wanted”
Tiger Mountain got it.
Don’t worry Control Freaks. I see they’re already using the same language for the Climate Emergency, starting with “flattening the curve”
I’m in a supposed risk group but didn’t get vaccinated and I don’t wear a mask. Who cares, there is no more threat to my health now than there was five years or fifty years ago. We must take health precautions and address risk based on science and evidence not opinion and emotion. This was more about population control and narrative management rather than public health. And these medical luminaries now running around in a panic saying we need to reintroduce restrictions? My advice is to see a medical professional for your mania and neurosis. To summarize, you take a vaccine to IMMUNIZE you against disease, not relieve symptoms. You take a vaccine to protect YOURSELF, not others. And you have to give INFORMED CONSENT to receive a tested and proven medical treatment, otherwise the people giving the treatment are just experimenting on you without regards to ethics, due process or consequences.
Jody, exactly right. Yet everything you say is completely lost on the fear merchants, the authoritarians. Lockdowns, mandates and division are their reoccurring wet dreams.
Jody, I disagree with your comment ” take a vaccine to protect YOURSELF, not others.” That is way too simplistic as vaccination did help reduce transmission with earlier strains. That is “based on science and not emotion”
Save your ignorant rant for your doctor or surgeon next time you need them .
You can school them up then .
Well Jody, that comment of yours was about as selfishly vile and as ignorant as we’ve come to expect from you. You don’t disappoint.
Thank you, it means a lot
Jody It is quite simple. You live amongst people I suppose, and so you affect the group and vice versa. Good people wanting good community work in together, make a compromise here and there where they can. If you are woman alone up in the hills, just organise a drop of provisions at boundary point. That is what has been done in past epidemics in the world.
Roll over and ask Off white what it means.
except if you are unvaxxed and catch it you WILL pass it on to others….and that’s the crux of it jody your choice takes choice away from others…no different to a drunk driver who aces a car full of kids.
The vaxxed also pass it on.
true but the effects tend to be milder so don’t clog our hospitals with selfish ignorant blowhards.
Not true for Omicron
Gagarin, you’ve got 2020 big pharma talking points on repeat. Meanwhile, back in reality the vaccinated are catching and passing on Covid. The drunk driver analogy is idiotic because you are currently doing way more drunk driving than me, you just don’t know it.
informed consent doesn’t apply in a pandemic jody….if you wanna be un vaxxed and stay indoors 24/7 go for gold but don’t breath your pestilent effluent on others….they are your choices isolation, vax or infect others there are no other options.
My prediction is there’ll be more Destiny rallies with idiots who railed and marched against masks for covid, wearing masks to disguise themselves.
Peter, no one was out marching against masks. The marches were against mandates and lockdowns. Keeping hiding from reality.
Off white there were people literally trying to tear the masks of passersby at the Wellington protests. Did they represent everyone, no, but there are some stupid idiots that equated masks to something akin to the end of democracy.
Wheel, even if it was true, we literally had hundreds of thousands of people forced into having a medical procedure against their will. Government, media and big business beating us into submission 24/7.
Yes of course. In none of the numerous events Tamaki has been involved in, helped organise or been a ‘leading light’ in, including marches, has mask wearing and mandates been a clear focus.
And Donald Trump won the election, you get covid from being close to a phone tower and Reefton is north of Warkworth.
Yes but Fox News believes Trump won. Funny I haven’t seen him around the White House lately?
so why did they egg masked school girls and generally abuse people and businesses who masked up……c’mon ow ducks in a row son…please make your lies at least part convincing.
Gagarin, citation. The general abuse was only flowing in one direction son. Following big pharma and government lies won’t get you off the hook.
Catch 22 for Brenda. On the one hand she can argue victory with an assist from the feckless; on the other hand she CANNOT now ignore housing, economics, law and order, education, corrections, co-governance and the like and blame covid.
Also you forgot on the LOSERS side – the pink lady, the failed mathematician and the little wee man that sowed covid fever into the general populace for 24 months. They now have to crawl back under the rock from whence they came.
Frank the Tank – they can’t crawl anywhere. You have flattened them with the heavyweight of your damning criticism and they are flatter than flat – like in the road runner icartoons – does anyone remember them? Perhaps they were prophetic or apocryphal or something. I’ve always wanted to use that word!
Actually here is a link for the cartoons and they are devilishly clever. I don’t know if we could somehow emulate the genius that went into devising the tricks and the misadventures? They are like an analogy of our efforts in the world in the last few decades!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi5Hm2MfyjU
Our fragile consensual unity is a casualty. Tribalism is not unity. Tribes need targets of blame onto which to project its own shortcomings and inflict punishments and ostracism. Tribes do not act according to compassion and integrity. They suppress and control according to a joint egotism and a destructive identity in the place of principle and care. The result is a dangerous parody of unity.
The truth is a huge casualty. The extremity of covid censorship will take a very long time to overcome. Science allowed itself to pretend it was a singular ‘certainty’, two things true science can never be. Science evolves and collaborates through open mindedness, free exchange of information and open discourse. Scientists and medical clinicians attacked those among themselves who tried to behave in accord with their own discipline. Yet information is necessary to the mission of saving lives and promoting well-being.
Friends, families and communities turned on each other.
The left is the biggest loser: to the witch hunts, to its own latent authoritarianism, to its lack of being based in an understanding of what left actually is. It showed itself to have descended into incoherence and effective meaninglessness. To being empty buzz-phrases, team tee-shirts: unprincipled, tribalised, hierarchical, self-interest.
It will take a national ‘truth and reconciliation’ to overcome the harm to our communities – but I’m not holding my breath.
“Science allowed itself to pretend it was a singular ‘certainty’”
I disagree, that interpretation was imposed on “Science” from external positions, for example by the media or by commercial interests such as agri-chemicals and pharmaceutical industries. In its own arena (peer review academia etc), Science has overwhelmingly been conducted with a spirit of robust scepticism.
That aside, i think your comments above are valuable.
The biggest loser obviously is this hopeless Government, who put all these restictions in place (and yes this is yelling) FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.
What utter bollocks.
Yes Wheel, clearly the lift doesn’t go to the top floor.
Jody for PM. New View her deputy. Commonsense that’s been missing in Government.
So, we had a once in a century pandemic and yet we still have the same underfunded health system as before. We heeded calls for solidarity and yet we still live in uncertain times. We collectively sacrificed a ton and yet now we are divided. And at the same time we’ve seen “the largest wealth transfer in NZs history”.
Yep, we have a lot to thank government for, for sure…..
Someone left the rabbit hutch door open again…
The funny thing is those that have problems with public health measures are possibly still here because of them!
I feel like I’ve got a cold coming on. Change of seasons jobby.
You seem to have lost your name Denny. Hope you haven’t gotten lost in your pronouns? 🙂
Ae. It seems to appear and then disappear. Strange??
I’m so over BusinessNZ Kirk Hope, ACT and National whining constantly,
like their throat has been cut.
Not even a day off to remember the Queen was safe.
I wonder whether Kirk would take a day off to go to his own mother’s funeral, I’d say no, given his penchant for money.

Kirk is Scottish for Church. Hope as a surname. Gloriavale couldn’t do better. I blame the parents.
“The people give their masks pronouns” LOL
Yep totally agree, Covid is a novel virus. So is Influenza, Pneumonia, Cat flu and a myriad of other ailments that are bestowed upon us from time to time.
Voices for Freedom will have to find a new drum to beat.
So… when is 6G coming out? Fried brains I tell ya fried brains!
Excellent post Martyn – spells out how it is, was, will be likely. As one of our sages remarked ‘We have finished with Covid! But Covid hasn’t finished with us’!! Pity we have a political class that wants to virtually lie around on Roman couches eating grapes, or pretend that they are good keen people who can milk cows or goats by hand, such fun and so healthy in the good country air with the fresh smell of pine resin and investment money all around.
‘Anything you feral lower class can do we can do better, with machines, cheaper and prettier. So shove off.’ That is the message I find under each stone I move.
Winners also include Yoga Instructors and “Aggressive Knitters” who are, according to the MSM, part of the 4th Reich
Winners are the aggressive techno/medical fascistii and government spook media enablers pushing the endless covrt-19 bullshit(take a bow tdb); now, ‘suddenly’ finding the science of dissent was correct
Pump and dump JA !
It’s over.
The Sainted one frees us
Releases us .
We can all return to the NZ
Lost
Forever.
Someone’s happy then. That’s good and a change from the spew of negativity. from anti-covid responders. I don’t know why that virus doesn’t take note that it is not wanted and just go away! However we must be kind and practical about those who are like kids throwing tantrums in the supermarket; they’re usually tired, hungry, overstressed, or combination. Their interests and concerns need to be attended to, but not their thoughts becoming the decision makers for future direction.
