Bloomfield is on record as saying that an R0 of 0.8 was bad enough to keep the restrictions in place at the time. Which showed him up as an idiot with no understanding of what R0 was as R0 under 1 is definitely not an epidemic (there are no epidemics but I’m just using their claims). Basically if the R0 is under 1 then it’s not infectious at all (there are no infections but I’m just using their claims). I gave him a hard time on Twitter about it at the time but of course it wasn’t noticed because Twitter is the most restrictive social media online. But I, who had done one online course of about 2 weeks on epidemics with John Hopkins in Boston, knew more than he did on the topic (never mind that it was complete bullshit something that I was to learn later, I still knew more).

What is R0?

There is no R0 btw as epidemics are completely made up. And there have been attempts to make R0 more complicated since so as you don’t catch on to that little fact.

Absolutely. And now we see why this ‘evidence’ from the ‘expert witnesses’ was withheld from our eyes for all these years. 😩

Why indeed ...

I am disgusted/sickened by the NZ Govt's role in all this ... but could they really be so dumb ... to be so dumb?

I don't think so ... it is obvious they had a lot of help ... from the US State Dept perhaps ... under a directive of 'National Security' perhaps ... that all citizens had to be injected with 'emergency counter measures' ... because the World was under imminent biological attack from China? Because I just can't see how they could be so dumb ... to ignore the evidence of the incredible lies/evil/deadly poison perpetrated against us over the last four years! Surely they are working to another, undisclosed agenda ... likely very bogus agenda ...

The whole 'Covid 19' 'scenario' ... is just so contrived ... it's scripted like a Hollywood movie ... and a 'movie' with glaring 'plot holes' ... and 'suspend your disbelief' ... 'special effects' (like deadly side effects 'special effects') ... that I can't believe our Govt isn't operating on 'another level' (of stupidity) (of 'National Security' ... that is not being disclosed) ... that is somehow 'justifying' their insanity ... at least to themselves ... their enthusiasm to embrace American b/s written all over many of their faces ... particularly Judith Collins recently ... regarding the propaganda ramping up tensions with China ...

I'm sorry Ursula ... I just haven't been able to keep up with all your extraordinary work lately ... but I am trying to ...

I think you should start sending these ... very damning ... posts to Christopher Luxon ... the pressure needs to come on these idiots ... now ... to turn this 'ship of fools' around ...

regards

Terrible. The psychological fall-out of this for those who live to give and were thrown away has been immense.

Thank you for your work.

Can we please all stop using the language ‘discriminated’ and instead start using ‘persecuted’. Under the law you can only be discriminated on for pre-defined attributes and vax status IS NOT ONE OF THEM so legal arguments fail. Look up ‘persecution’ and you will find a much better description in law of what happened to those who lost their jobs etc during the Great Madness.

Good point. What happened to the refuseniks is closer to tortious interference. The scale of that tips it into persecution. Some of my unvaxed pals have expressed sadness or guilt about the 'grudge' they bear. I talk them out of that, because 'grudge' has the connotation of one being unreasonable. Their perception has been reframed, and they rightly cannot trust the 80-90% of the adult population who lined up in the parking lots for Nurse shit-for-brains shooting a load of pfizer bioweapon into their arm. Those same people are prepared to throw us under a bus to satisfy groupthink, so it ain't no grudge, but it sure is a reasonable defensive adaptation to not trust them or associate with them.

Whether such abuse “is lawful” has nothing to do with what they call the “R number”, nor anything to do with anyone’s well being. There simply cannot be any justification for what was done. Give an inch, they take a mile. You can’t rationalize the first step and then surprised pikachu face when they take ten more steps.

That’s true. Totally agree. But because of no litigation and sparse population, NZ is already well behind in intl caselaw. It’s a long journey, but along the way, more people see the propaganda and in turn, the injustice. ATM, most of our citizens can’t see the Naked Emperor.

Seabiscuit has to be one of the most evil narcissistic people to walk this earth and should be up against a wall for the crimes she committed against the New Zealanders
