What will it take?

[Magoo]

Most of us are well aware that they're anti mandate. And that there are several different groups. And that some have been abusing passers by & causing traffic problems, & what's worse shown either ignorance, disrespect or both by using a section of the Cenotaph to set up  either a toilet or shower.

They cannot seem to grasp that, while no one wants the mandate, there simply isn't another option - unless we want covid to spread even faster & further.

Those protesting might do well to look at recent history, in particular the effects of polio & TB & the rate of infections in earlier times compared to today.

My parents remember TB very well, and dont recall there ever being any mandates.
At least that vaccine worked, this one doesnt "work" to any degree for omicron.
I dont know of any other vaccine program in history that claims its only protection will make you "less sick". A "filthy" unvaxxed person is no more at risk of transmitting omicron to others than a vaxxed person is.
Michael Baker recently said on the TV (ironically as a correction to David Seymour) that the vaccine is 3% effective against omicron when Seymour was saying it wasnt "effective"
3% is neither here nor there, what a joke.
I got an email from act yesterday saying how the efficacy of the vaccine makes the mandates absolutely pointless.
We now have both Luxon and Seymour both asking Jacinda on making a path forward to dropping the mandates.
Time to end the mandates and unite NZ back.
No more star belly sneetches. Dr Seuss was on to something.

so the vax doesnt work for omicron? youre saying then that it did for Covid 19, and delta?
because i seem to recall that being a major factor in not vaxxing before. now your saying it was effective for those but not this? when the next variant comes will it be the go to response now? its not covered, it offers no protection?

as for dr baker this and nitpick this and that what a lot of drivel. neither seymore, nor luxon or jacinda know dick about epidemiology, how many fucking times does it have to be said. its not political, its medical, they take advice from the professionals.

to be an expert after a few youtube videos, some twitter and plenty of lies seems to outweigh the 9 years of study and effort to get a medical doctorate.

arrogant amateur internet experts, confirming what we already knew. dumber than shit.
