Despite being one of the most highly vaccinated countries and having some of the most restrictive international and domestic travel restrictions New Zealand now has one of the highest rate of Covid-19 transmission in the world.

So it is patently obvious that vaccinations and our traffic light system do not prevent the spread of Covid.

They may reduce the mortality and morbidity rates for Covid variants but it is hard to justify the Government’s Covid vaccination mandate which is clearly a breach of human rights.

The High Court had ruled that the Government’s vaccine mandate for Police and Defense Force personnel was unlawful.

It determined that although vaccination could reduce the severity of symptoms, it was significantly less effective at preventing the transmission of Covid-19 – now endemic in New Zealand.

I tried to buy a coffee the other day at a provincial Café and they asked me for my vaccine pass.

I did not have my phone with me but produced my hard copy vaccine certificate from my wallet.

This was not acceptable they needed a scanned copy.

For the love of god New Zealand wake up.

We have turned into a police state where the Government ignores the law of the land which has legally validated that vaccinations do not prevent the spread of Covid and that vaccine mandates are a breach of human rights as was the case with the Lotto MIQ isolation system.

We also need to look at what we are being protected from.

Currently New Zealand’s Covid case related mortality rates sit at 0.027% which is lower than influenzas.

Given that most of the deaths in NZ were in aged patients due to underlying clinical conditions ( one patient being on palliative care ) and not Covid we don’t have a Covid pandemic.

The 80,000 deaths predicted by modelers like Shaun Hendy did not happen nor the 80,000 infection rates per day predicted by other modelers.

The vaccine mandate is ruining business’s and livelihoods for no good scientific reason and is illegal and breaches my basic human rights and my ability to buy a coffee.
