• Hipkins says vaccination was not compulsory -- NZ media ignores

    No money for the vaccine injured because "people made their own
    choices", says Hipkins. Regardless of your viewpoint, this is an
    interesting story. But totally unreported in NZ media (so far as I
    can telll) -- NZ media thinks their job is to hide any story which
    makes Labour look bad.

    However you look at this, it is in no way good.

    Very short memory. Hopes public will have the same.

    Changing the goal posts. Playing with semantics, rather than the spirit of
    it.

    Still can not show, or admit they were wrong, as it would crash the polls.

    Honourable, it not a word to be used in this case. With trying to
    deflect responsibility by the PM is not a good way to man up and set a
    good example to the young, and old.

    The media of course have to ignore it because they were the Government's
    wing man/person at the time.

    Everybody who had the vaccine had to sign a consent form. Their choice!

    There was a presumption that the public was 'fully informed' on the
    risks and benefits of the vaccine when signing the form.

    Question: If you got vaccinated, did you read this beforehand??

    https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/Consumers/CMI/c/comirnaty.pdf

    I admit to reading the CMI for all three of the NZ offered covid
    vaccines, researched the information on each with a particular emphasis
    on part 6. Side effects, and Part 7. Contents, and made my choice on the
    basis of that research. YMMV.

    Huge pressure was put on to coerce and vilify those resisting.
    The so called mandates; No vax = no job for nurses, doctors, police
    officers, teachers ............. and many others.
    Pressure on employers to mandate the vaccine due 'safety and health' in
    the workplace.
    No access to primary healthcare and dentistry for the un-vaxxed.
    No haircuts!
    Travel restrictions; No travel outside Auckland 'boundary'.
    Compulsory mask wearing on public transport.
    And much more................

    Just the file name "comirnaty" is a lie, right off the bat. Pfizer
    distributes only EUA, never Comirnaty for which they would be liable.

    Good job you avoided Moderna, then.

    We have not heard the precise question that the Prime Minister was
    answering. , but in principle, the early requirements for mask wearing
    were occupation / employer related. We still have some occupations
    where masks are required in particular circumstances and for various
    reasons, but they relate to safety of either the individuals or
    others. If the employer does not require masks they could be
    prosecuted for not having a safe workplace. In relation to covid,
    there is also the issue of allowing (or from the other direction
    requiring) staff to stay home if for example a family member catches
    Covid - especially if sick leave limits are involved. Some employers
    are still giving paid leave under those circumstances. The wage
    subsidies were in part due to the such difficulties during the height
    of the pandemic.

    Rich the subject is compulsory vaccination. Consider re-reading the
    subject of each thread before posting.

    You are still doing it. Answering someone who did not post the previous response. Either rude or lazy.
    In addition, the thread is nothing to do with masks.

    Rich's words have no conceptual coherence, sort of like those damaged
    robots in Portal, or maybe this from Alice in Wonderland:

    "That's very important," the King said, turning to the jury. They
    were just beginning to write this down on their slates when the White
    Rabbit interrupted" "UNimportant, your Majesty means, of course," he
    said in a very respectful tone, but frowning and making faces at him
    as he spoke.
    "UNimportant, of course, I meant," the King hastily said, and went
    on to himself in an undertone, "important -- unimportant -- important
    -- unimportant --" as if he were trying which word sounded best.

    You are getting very predictable in being wrong, Tony - are you trying
    to outdo John Bowes and Nicola Willis? Of course the statement by
    Hipkins can be sustained - people were able to make their own
    decisions, and still can - unlike the authoritarian National who will
    for example arbitrarily tell schools that mobile phones must be
    unilaterally banned, with no consultation, no choice - el-Luxton has
    spoken!

    Rich the subject is compulsory vaccination. Consider re-reading the >>>subject of each thread before posting.

    Which I was addressing - people did and still do make their own
    choices about vaccination; but it was and still is compulsory for
    some, and that has implications for other aspects of employment >>relationships. I am more on topic than the previous posts which >>misrepresent the relationship between government and media.
    Nonsense. Hipkins said something that he cannot possibly sustain.
    You are getting very predictable in being wrong, Tony - are you trying
    to outdo John Bowes and Nicola Willis? Of course the statement by
    Hipkins can be sustained - people were able to make their own
    decisions, and still can - unlike the authoritarian National who will
    for example arbitrarily tell schools that mobile phones must be
    unilaterally banned, with no consultation, no choice - el-Luxton has
    spoken!
    Do stop lying Rich! You've never proved me wrong, but that's probably because you're a compulsive loser like you are in this thread! Now get back under your rock with the cockroaches and other lefty pos!

    Of course it is a group and it is time you understood that. I never consider posts here to be private. But I am not lazy like you and I address the people that make posts - you often don't and that is rude or lazy or cowardly or all three but it is not polite. But then that matches your character doesn't it?

    And the topic of work requirements covers both masks and vaccination

    Irrelevant. This government cuased people to l,ose their jobs and did so deliberately if they did not get vaccinated. And the last PM is on record agreeing that was the case.

    some, or just people staying away for others. Their decisions as

    Stop your iuncessant abuse you ignorant fool. You cannot post without abuse. And you are wrong. The armed forces fired people and they are government controlled.
    Also hospitals fiored people on instruction from the health ministry whcih was, last I heard, a government department.
    Hipkins lied and you are making it worse.

    It is work requirements - most countries require medical staff (and particularly nurses and doctors dealing with infectious patients) to
    be as well protected as possible all the time - if they did not they
    could be taken to court for having an unsafe workplace! We do know
    that sick people are particularly vulnerable to catching further
    illness from exposure; hence the isolation for Covid patients, and the
    higher level of care taken for those working in those areas.
    Retirement Villages and rest homes also needed to be especially
    careful in insisting on visitors being protected and wearing masks -
    we saw what happened when some visitors did not take proper
    precautions - they had to lock the places up for days or weeks at a
    time! Would you have it any other way? Certainly no opposition parties
    objected to adequate precautions in such places.

    Stop your iuncessant abuse you ignorant fool. You cannot post without abuse. And you are wrong. The armed forces fired people and they are government controlled.
    Also hospitals fiored people on instruction from the health ministry whcih was,
    last I heard, a government department.
    Hipkins lied and you are making it worse.
    Not to mention the police fired enough the government had to stop the police mandate so they could attack the protesters last year !

    Certainly hundreds of people changed jobs over the Covid period - but
    very few would have been dismissal for non-compliance. For example
    quite a few soldiers did not like security detail for isolation

    LIAR! Hundreds of people LOST jobs over covid! Plus the soldiers were forced to leave because they didn't take an experimental vaccine! Also a fact you choose to ignore is they left in droves AFTER they'd had to be prison guards on the MIQ which breached,
    like the mandate, the NZ bill of rights AND the Nuremburg protocols which are an international law! From information I've had from soldiers most of those who were forced out are not back in the NZ Army. Some are now in the Australian Army while the
    others have found other employment!

    If you disagree do find something other than your opinion to support
    your claim . . .

    Here's some support for Tony. Seems your PM is becoming an even bigger embarrassment for NZ than we he didn't know what a woman was. Guess in your case Chippies a perfect PM for pos like you Rich!

    Already have. The ex-prime minister in her infamous television interview.
    Watch here https://twitter.com/BugsyMugsy11/status/1603972963732443138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1698481351840723208%7Ctwgr%5Eb6ee243b3d1f5c0c764bc64d3bb3b3a533260ced%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwaikanaewatch.org%2Fpage%2F2%2F
    Two classes of citizens and she admitted it. Those without vaccinations lost their freedom of choice.
    You can spin until you die and probably will, but you are still a hypocrite.

    Hundreds of jobs were lost as a result of government vaccine requirements and
    lying about that does not make you other than wrong.
    Certainly hundreds of people changed jobs over the Covid period - but
    very few would have been dismissal for non-compliance. For example
    quite a few soldiers did not like security detail for isolation
    centres for people coming from overseas; they found other jobs, but I
    gather some of them at least have since re-joined the army.

    If you disagree do find something other than your opinion to support

    the NZ media failure to report Hipkins' stance on it.

    Rich's inability to stay on topic is too idiotic to be genuine. I
    reckon he is a paid shill, and one of his prescribed tools is to
    dissemble against any thread not to his employer's liking.

    It is work requirements - most countries require medical staff (and particularly nurses and doctors dealing with infectious patients) to
    be as well protected as possible all the time - if they did not they
    could be taken to court for having an unsafe workplace! We do know
    that sick people are particularly vulnerable to catching further
    illness from exposure; hence the isolation for Covid patients, and the
    higher level of care taken for those working in those areas.
    Retirement Villages and rest homes also needed to be especially
    careful in insisting on visitors being protected and wearing masks -
    we saw what happened when some visitors did not take proper
    precautions - they had to lock the places up for days or weeks at a
    time! Would you have it any other way? Certainly no opposition parties objected to adequate precautions in such places.

    Ture, and that was/is a very concerning point.

    Remember when taking about Covid, it came on several models. Original,
    Alpha, Delta, and Omicron being the mains ones.

    Without Omicron and natural immunity the world would probably going through battling Delta.

    The infomation which have come out about the trials show that the vaccines
    were not fit for purpose.

    Oh yes, let us not forget the NZ and most of the rest of the world threw out their pandemic plans. Sweden stick to theirs and got disapproval. At the end
    of the pandemic they faired about the same as the other countries, but
    gained the benifits of no lockdowns ot mandates.

    Less of the abuse you foolish little man.,
    The government did not fire people - that would have been hospitals,
    aged care facilities, restaurants, bars and cafeterias and other
    businesses that did not want to lose customers (either by death for
    some, or just people staying away for others. Their decisions as
    employers - all the government did was give advice and make sure the

    Here's a fact you can deny to your hearts content Rich. The government
    announced policy that caused those who didn't follow it like good little >> >>>Marxist sheep to lose their jobs and in several cases their businesses. The
    stupid little boy Hipkins is on record as endorsing it! The policy went against
    the Nuremberg code and the New Zealand bill of rights!
    You are really getting off topic now - Tony will be scolding you next!

    New Zealand of course lost far fewer businesses than other countries
    through Covid, and in the short term we recovered better than nearly
    every other country - we are now affected by international trade and
    also some local shortages through extreme weather events, but that is
    by the by. There were sadly a small number of doctors who lost their
    jobs, but they did not do that as a result of government action - the
    Medical profession booted them out. Quite a few people used the Covid
    period to change jobs, and a few of them went down the same sort of
    rabbit holes as you and Tony, John - listening to anyone that had a
    crazy opinion; but the government have done well in keeping
    unemployment very low; and quite a few decided through Covid to seek
    other jobs.
    Hundreds of jobs were lost as a result of government vaccine requirements and
    lying about that does not make you other than wrong.
    Certainly hundreds of people changed jobs over the Covid period - but
    very few would have been dismissal for non-compliance. For example
    quite a few soldiers did not like security detail for isolation
    centres for people coming from overseas; they found other jobs, but I
    gather some of them at least have since re-joined the army.

    When on is on the wrong side of history it is a good idea to stop digging

    plenty.




    but the government have done well in keeping
    unemployment very low; and quite a few decided through Covid to seek

    Your unsupported assertions of your personal opinions count for
    nothing. Nobody in government or those that advised them said that
    "you will not get Covid if you got the jab" - why do you lie instead
    of first seeing if you can find any evidence that your imagination is
    anywhere close to the truth?

    Here's a fact you can deny to your hearts content Rich. The government announced policy that caused those who didn't follow it like good little Marxist sheep to lose their jobs and in several cases their businesses. The stupid little boy Hipkins is
    on record as endorsing it! The policy went against the Nuremberg code and the New Zealand bill of rights!
    You are really getting off topic now - Tony will be scolding you next!

    New Zealand of course lost far fewer businesses than other countries
    through Covid, and in the short term we recovered better than nearly
    every other country - we are now affected by international trade and
    also some local shortages through extreme weather events, but that is
    by the by. There were sadly a small number of doctors who lost their
    jobs, but they did not do that as a result of government action - the
    Medical profession booted them out.

    However the Narrative was against a small section of the Doctors.

    Quite a few people used the Covid
    period to change jobs, and a few of them went down the same sort of

    but the government have done well in keeping
    unemployment very low; and quite a few decided through Covid to seek
    other jobs.
    Your unsupported assertions of your personal opinions count for
    nothing. Nobody in government or those that advised them said that
    "you will not get Covid if you got the jab" - why do you lie instead

    It is work requirements - most countries require medical staff (and
    particularly nurses and doctors dealing with infectious patients) to
    be as well protected as possible all the time - if they did not they
    could be taken to court for having an unsafe workplace! We do know
    that sick people are particularly vulnerable to catching further
    illness from exposure; hence the isolation for Covid patients, and the
    higher level of care taken for those working in those areas.
    Retirement Villages and rest homes also needed to be especially
    careful in insisting on visitors being protected and wearing masks -
    we saw what happened when some visitors did not take proper
    precautions - they had to lock the places up for days or weeks at a
    time! Would you have it any other way? Certainly no opposition parties
    objected to adequate precautions in such places.

    Ture, and that was/is a very concerning point.

    No money for the vaccine injured because "people made their own

    The media of course have to ignore it because they were the Government's

    We have not heard the precise question that the Prime Minister was

    The media of course have to ignore it because they were the Government's

    We have not heard the precise question that the Prime Minister was

    Here's a fact you can deny to your hearts content Rich. The government announced policy that caused those who didn't follow it like good little Marxist sheep to lose their jobs and in several cases their businesses. The stupid little boy Hipkins
    is on record as endorsing it! The policy went against the Nuremberg code and the New Zealand bill of rights!

    When on is on the wrong side of history it is a good idea to stop digging >>> >the hole you are in. You are out of ammunition and the other side has
    plenty.




    but the government have done well in keeping
    unemployment very low; and quite a few decided through Covid to seek
    other jobs.
    Your unsupported assertions of your personal opinions count for
    nothing. Nobody in government or those that advised them said that
    "you will not get Covid if you got the jab" - why do you lie instead
    of first seeing if you can find any evidence that your imagination is
    anywhere close to the truth?
    Ardern made that claim from the podium of truth!
    Your persistent and consistent lying means that you will not be
    believes unless you can provide evidence . . . .

    I do not expect you will be able to find any such evidence, and am
    content that you are just lying again . . .

    Stop lying Riche. The podium of truth said that if you get vaxed you
    won't get Covid or pass it on. She also said that if you don't get
    vaxed there will be no penalties. That was the most blatant lie ever
    said.

    Your unsupported assertions of your personal opinions count for
    nothing. Nobody in government or those that advised them said that
    "you will not get Covid if you got the jab" - why do you lie instead
    of first seeing if you can find any evidence that your imagination is
    anywhere close to the truth?
    Ardern made that claim from the podium of truth!
    Your persistent and consistent lying means that you will not be

    I do not expect you will be able to find any such evidence, and am
    content that you are just lying again . . .

    Stop lying Riche. The podium of truth said that if you get vaxed you
    won't get Covid or pass it on. She also said that if you don't get
    vaxed there will be no penalties. That was the most blatant lie ever
    said.

    You are acting like John Bowes - making a statement without evidence.
    I challenged him to prove it - by providing evidence - perhaps you
    could do what John persistently failed to do . . actually provide
    evidence to support a wild assertion!

    Ture, and that was/is a very concerning point.

    Remember when taking about Covid, it came on several models. Original,
    Alpha, Delta, and Omicron being the mains ones.

    Without Omicron and natural immunity the world would probably going through
    battling Delta.

    The infomation which have come out about the trials show that the vaccines
    were not fit for purpose.

    Oh yes, let us not forget the NZ and most of the rest of the world threw out
    their pandemic plans. Sweden stick to theirs and got disapproval. At the end
    of the pandemic they faired about the same as the other countries, but
    gained the benifits of no lockdowns ot mandates.
    However the rest of the world acted, very few did as well as New
    Zealand in saving lives. . . .
    New Zealand had no borders with other countries Rich. We were in a pretty uneke position!
    All countries have borders - our border for some purposes includes
    some sea around our land. For immigration purposes many fly to New
    Zealand in a similar way that many people fly to the USA or UK.

    New Zealand's border is ALL sea you stupid pos! As always you miss the point in a desperate bid to make Labour look good. An impossibility as the truth of their actions is coming out.
    At least you now know that New Zealand does indeed have borders . . .
    but you are still unable to support your statements with any evidence;
    and you descend to abuse when you know your false statements are not
    being accepted. Your childish taunts do not fool anyone, John Bowes,
    but I am sorry for you as it appears you may just be repeating what
    has been said about you to others . . . .
    Do stop being a fucking imbecile! Again you preach what you don't practice! So typical of toxic pos like you!
    No I treat you the way you demand you be treated as evidenced by your reply to my statement of fact! Only a fucking toxic, lying, comprehensionless pos could take the fact that NZ has no borders with other countries! Your lie is only evidence of just
    how fucking stupid and childless YOU in fact arew!

    If it had been a fact then you would have been able to find a
    reference to it in news media - that you have not found any such
    evidence indicates you are too stupid to look or were lying anyway. I
    note that your insults seem to be repetitious - perhaps you are just
    repeating what others have said to you - have others told you that you
    are a fucking imbecile and a toxic pos?

    And yes New Zealand does have borders.

    No money for the vaccine injured because "people made their own

    a result. Advice was also given to church groups for example not to
    have large gatherings - again that stopped as people realised that was

    Here's a fact you can deny to your hearts content Rich. The government announced policy that caused those who didn't follow it like good little Marxist sheep to lose their jobs and in several cases their businesses. The stupid little boy
    Hipkins is on record as endorsing it! The policy went against the Nuremberg code and the New Zealand bill of rights!
    You are really getting off topic now - Tony will be scolding you next!

    However the Narrative was against a small section of the Doctors.

    Quite a few people used the Covid

    Rich, could you do a wee bit of recent history study. Evidence is still
    coming out that the Narrative was wrong on almost all accounts.

    You know one of them, Safe and effective, will not get covid if you got the
    jab, will not pass it onto your family and mates.

    Your unsupported assertions of your personal opinions count for
    nothing. Nobody in government or those that advised them said that

    Ardern made that claim from the podium of truth!
    Your persistent and consistent lying means that you will not be

    I do not expect you will be able to find any such evidence, and am >>content that you are just lying again . . .

    Stop lying Riche. The podium of truth said that if you get vaxed you
    won't get Covid or pass it on. She also said that if you don't get
    vaxed there will be no penalties. That was the most blatant lie ever
    said.
    You are acting like John Bowes - making a statement without evidence.
    I challenged him to prove it - by providing evidence - perhaps you
    could do what John persistently failed to do . . actually provide
    evidence to support a wild assertion!
    LIAR! He's emulating you and your propensity to consider your 'opinion' is the only truth in existent. Which is pretty good considering how you haven't stopped lying since you first joined this ng!
