Government has the same refrain, no matter what: From RNZ today:
"The ministry said getting a booster dose as soon as it is due was one
of the best steps to take. 'Boosters lower your chances of getting
very sick and being hospitalised. Being boosted also helps slow the
spread of the virus.' "
They say this regardless of the evidence that the boostered transmit
Omicron at over twice the rate of the unvaxxed -- actual difference
will be seen to be 5x after the maximum passes by. On top of that,
the doubly-vaxxed are twice as contageous as the boostered. Omicron
is acting as the AIDS of the vaxxed. This means U.
It's getting so hard for the unvaxxed to catch Omicron, they'll need
special Omicron parties to catch it. Imagine, 20 unvaxxed gather
together to catch Omicron from a vaxxed Omicron-carrying person, but
the Omicron-carrier won't come because he/she thinks it's too
dangerous to be amongst so many unvaxxed people! Arrgh.
What has brought us to this absurd state? A very good summary is at:

I give lengthy excerpts here, trusting that the author won't mind:

Mandatory reporting was not required. As a scientist one of the most
appalling mistakes of the government (used in its most general sense
to include all aspects of officialdom) was to decide that it was not
necessary to have mandatory reporting of adverse effects of Covid
vaccination. This must have arisen from a decision to ‘trust’ Pfizer
absolutely. Given Pfizer’s appalling safety record and the similarly
appalling safety record of gene therapy, this was madness. In essence,
it means that all analysis of CARM adverse effects and any comparisons
with population norms are utterly meaningless. In December 2021 the
government doubled down on this policy in a letter to myself despite
simultaneously admitting that cardiac events were common enough to
warrant a special alert to DHBs. It is worth noting that mandatory
reporting of adverse events for a novel medicine is the gold standard,
that was heretofore required. The refusal to follow this protocol can
be nothing less than criminal. Moreover the government saturation
advertising that announced and continues to announce Covid vaccination
as safe and effective in the face of published studies to the contrary
and our own CARM system data is similarly criminal.
The mRNA vaccine is not effective. Long before the mandates came in
there was abundant data that the vaccine waned in effectiveness
rapidly. There was also worrying data that areas with high vaccine
rates around the world did not have low case numbers and low deaths.
Therefore there was insufficient data to warrant coertion. All this
has been hashed over in so many blogs and letters to the government.
As a statistician, I am very clear from such anomalous data that there
are other factors at work that need to be researched very carefully.
Did we get that? No, we got mandates and we got interdepartmental
messaging that the threat of Covid to health was so dire that we could
ignore basic principles of disclosure. Independent watchdogs such as
the Advertising Standards Authority were convinced by this dishonest
drivel to take a hands off stance. The latest data released by the UK
government itself under OIA puts total deaths solely due to Covid over
the whole period of the pandemic at 17,000 not the 155,000 we have
been frightened with.
Fortunately now we have whistleblowers, many are just beginning to
gain the courage to speak up in the still strangled information
deficit of NZ, but here is one senior cardiologist and public health
campaigner in the UK Dr Aseem Malhotra:
"In the Times newspaper in October I discounted the contribution
of the mRNA jab to cardiovascular disease. I now realise I was wrong.
We’ve been completely conned and the truth does not look pretty. Time
for the whole truth to be unleashed. Everything I know and have learnt
from the most reliable pieces of evidence and experts in the past few
months has caused me to lose sleep. I feel sick. Good God. What have
we done?"
The most significant scientific lesson -- genetic vaccine technology
is inherently unsafe. The sooner this can be publicly debated the
better.
Omicron is not controlled by vaccination
How long can the government continue to push vaccine mandates which
are draining our economy and ruining small businesses in the face of
the ineffectiveness of mRNA vaccines against Omicron, a mild variant
that has evolved specifically to evade them.

Our courts failed to protect our rights. How did our courts come to
the extraordinary decision to sideline the NZ Bill of Rights which
should have protected us from medical experimentation and guaranteed
our right of choice over medical procedures? This was an extraordinary
failure of natural justice. The offered excuse was a special case of
medical emergency -- from which just 50 people have died of Covid over
two years, a figure dwarfed by deaths proximate to vaccination. Did
our judges have no sense of the historical events which led to the
creation of medical rights? How can they still see themselves as
protectors of Common Law, rather than the enforcers of government
policy they have become? Moreover Dr Ashley Bloomfield seized the
opportunity presented by this judicial vacuum, to deny people injured
by their first injection any exemption to a second -- a callous and
essentially punishing attitude which goes against medical ethics; and
victimises and endangers people who began by doing their best to
comply with government policies.
Media abandoned their principle protective role. How did our
mainstream media decide to become a one-sided propaganda machine of
the government? Did they have no sense of the traditional role of the
media to investigate and question events and policy? In particular,
their acceptance of an unwarranted fear narrative was key to the worst
outcomes of the pandemic for our society. Fear is a huge driver of
social instability, it truncates rational thought and leads to hasty
selfish decisions (whether the threat to life is real or not). It
encourages scape-goating. The published tabloid-style stories of
unrepresentative individuals overseas suffering extreme medical
outcomes of Covid were presented as valid sources for public knowledge
and expectations, while the equally frightening and relatively common
side effects of vaccination here in NZ went unreported. An
unquestioning media support for mandates, in addition to the
inexplicable failure to publicise vaccine injuries, also drove
divisive attitudes. It is hard to imagine how the media will regain
public trust.
