   Like Muttonbird commented on Convoy Protest yesterday, I’m getting fed up with the ignorant arseholes who are holding this country to ransom! Like the f*ckwit in this photo!

     Um he's a pretty well known counter protestor in Canada (uses satire) so not too sure why you'd call him a fuckwit.

       As that appears is the case, that doubly reinforces my point – the only sensible way to look at these f*ckwits in Wellington is through the lens of satire.

       So, well done, that man.

         Lol. It did occur to me when I first saw that photo that nobody could be that dumb – then I saw tweets about dead lambs and rays from parliament and tin foil hats and I thought, yes, perhaps they could.

       Is the satire connected with not being able to spell? Like the NZ protestor 'we never flung poo"

       Are they making a thing about this or is the spelling/grammar just woeful?

       Pedant and grammar snob here.

     Seriously? Is this the very best this twat can come up with to fill the void in their Twatter thread…or whatever its called?

     From another country. From another year.

     And somehow thinks posting this from a protest by medical staff in Canada last September against 'no jab no job' mandates relates to NZ protestors going to Wellington hospital for treatment.

     What? Thinking the gullible will not look at the image properly and think this is now, in NZ?

     Yeah, nah.

     The Twatterati must do better.

       I will be the first to admit I didn’t check out the antecedents of that picture – it just seemed to typify the sort of misguided crap that’s coming out of the protestors.

       The point is that the vast, vast majority of this country have recognised the need to act in the collective good for the whole population.

       On the other hand, a small, a very small number have selfishly put their supposed ‘freedumbs’ ahead of that collective good.

       Frankly, there is no justification for their unprincipled stand!

       If they won’t listen to and heed medical advice, what will convince them? Counterspin Media?

         (Bearing in mind that most people do not make a complaint to CARM. It is not an easy process, and most of these reports…that are deemed 'minor' by Medsafe…are filed by health professionals.)

         And with Omicron running riot throughout the land despite the vast, vast majority having partaken of the Pfizer product in order to prevent said riot running…do you not think that perhaps some who were ambivalent about the protest a couple of weeks ago are now on board?

           28 February 2022 at 1:34 pm

           Just because an adverse event is reported, it doesn't mean the event was due to covid-19. Doctors tend to report everything to check for emerging patterns of illness. We don't know how many people would have had the same event on that day if they hadn't been vaccinated.

           With covid-19 running riot through the land but with only 344 people in hospital, maybe the ambivalent people are realising that vaccination is a good thing.

             We don't know how many people would have had the same event on that day if they hadn't been vaccinated.

             Just as we are seldom told if the person in hospital/ICU or sadly deceased 'with Covid' went to the hospital because of Covid symptoms or for something completely different.

             Like a gunshot victim who tested positive for Covid post mortem…

             Then there's the 561 reports of myocarditis, so far. It is very possible that for some the condition will not be 'mild and transient' and will lead to an early death. Shall we count them now? Or later?
             • mpledger …

               28 February 2022 at 5:37 pm

               The recording of hospitalisations and deaths allows for multiple reasons for hospitalisation or death. So, if someone gets a gunshot wound and has covid-19 then the primary reason will be the gunshot wound but other conditions will be recorded as well. It's because we want to know about patterns – maybe covid-19 gives a person a fog-head which means they put themselves unthinkingly in dangerous positions – we could look for an elevated rate of injuries for those with covid-19 compared to those without.

                 No.

                 Surely, if the vaccine works as well as mpledger seems to be implying, it would only be the unvaccinated in hospital. Or at least, a higher number of them.

                 Of course, if the vaccine doesn't work that well, then due to our high vaccination rate, one would assume the maths would point to that high percentage rate being a factor
                 • Barfly …

                   28 February 2022 at 5:10 pm

                   Total vaccination for 12+ = 94%

                   Therefore 94% (vaxxed) is supplying 75% of hospital admissions

                   and 6% (unvaxxed) is supplying 24% of hospital admissions

                   Do you see now why I was unsure of your mathematical ability?

                     Your “maths capability” is no better than your “logic”. You’d knock it out of the field when it comes to Sci-Fi though – it’s almost outer-dimensional.

                   28 February 2022 at 5:48 pm

                   Don't worry Chairman, I can do the math for you. We need to divide the hospitalisation fractions by the population fractions to make the populations the same size.

                   75/94 = 0.7978

                   25/6 = 4.1666

                   Now if we re-convert these to percentage of total we can work out how much better each vaccinated person does relative to each unvaccinated.

                   0.7978 + 4.1666 = 4.9644

                   0.7978 / 4.9644 = 0.1607

                   4.1666 / 4.9644 = 0.8393

                   So on a per-person basis unvaccinated make up 84% and vaccinated 16% of hospitalisations. Note this is an under-estimate on the benefit of vaccines however as it doesn't take into account age confounding.

                   Now, in return you can go and explain to the council that the toilet block is all above board and that your plumber wouldn't install any toilets which can't be consented.

               28 February 2022 at 5:58 pm

               There have been 7,038 unvaccinated cases and 485 ended up in hospital i.e. 69 hospitalisation per 1000 cases.

               There have been 72,301double vaccinated or boosted cases with 500 ending up in hospital i.e. 7 hospitalisations per 1000 cases.

               (That's for people aged 12+)

               So, it's a 10x difference and that’s before considering that older people (those more at risk of hospitalisation) are more likely to be vaccinated.

                 You were using the low number of hospitalizations as a benefit of being vaccinated. I was (via my question) highlighting the vaccinated can still end up in hospital. And I didn't state the percentage was per 1000 cases.

                 Another point I would like to make re your comment. Rather than seeing it as a benefit of being vaccinated, some may see the low number of hospitalizations as being a sign of the overall mildness of the infection itself on the vast majority. Especially, when seeing so many of the vaccinated becoming infected.

                   But we are protecting the vulnerable minority. That is literally what we are doing.

                   Like with your attitude to rental housing though, you don't seem to care about the vulnerable minority.

                   It's a far right wing attitude you have there.

                   And I didn't state the percentage was per 1000 cases.

                   Just as well, and neither did mpledger, who referred to absolute numbers rather than percentages and then normalised these absolute numbers per 1,000. It would be a rather odd thing to state as such because a percentage is normalised to 100, i.e. 6.9 and 0.7% using mpledger’s example.

                   You seem to be even more in a protest mode than we’re used to from you and your protestations here are even less compelling than usual.

           Looking at the medasfe page down where they are comparing expected deaths vs actual, and find that the vaccinated are dying at half the expected rate…

           If ever there was a signal you were using bad data……

           And deaths from vax are concentrated in a peak in the 3 to 4 days after and by 7 days the peak is almost back down to background, so looking at it 'averaged' over 21 days is a good way to not see the signal.

           A more sensetive method would be to chart days from shot to death, and form the control group from unvax from the same time frame, not from a pre covid year.

             So you are saying that the data on the Medsafe page, derived from the raw data collected by CARM is "bad"? Note. This is not my data. I am not sure why you would say I am using 'bad data'…it is the only data on adverse effects from the Pfizer product available.

             ….and find that the vaccinated are dying at half the expected rate…

             A pity there is not a similar set of data provided that compares the expected/observed rates for unvaccinated.

             Like a control, perhaps.

     I agree sobering.
     But a glimmer of hope. All of the evidence he's quoted comes from a veterans database in the US – and it all pre-dates vaccination, let alone Omicron.

     There's evidence that vaccination reduces the risk of Long Covid

     https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-03495-2

     We can't really tell what the long Covid implications of Omicron are (it takes 3 months – and we've only just got to that point with Omicron)

     But indicative evidence is (internationally) that Long Covid is at a lower rate than with Delta or previous versions. Simply because of the volume of cases – if the rates were as high, we'd be seeing a tsunami of cases reported, and we aren't.

   The social ethos of the protest, summed up in one sentence. From the Stuff report:

   "Meanwhile, two protesters began constructing a treehouse in a tree in front of the Beehive yesterday. The men, who declined to be named, said they were building it for people to use as a platform to avoid police, if officers tried to clear the site.

   “I’m basically building this because I f…ing can,” one said."

   Surely sufficient police could be on hand to enable the regional council or whoever to dismantle the toilets. Give a warning then pepper spray if needed. They are health hazards (both the toilets and protesters) but the council staff surely have protective gear to wear when dealing with other sewerage and drainage problems that Wellington experiences.

                  The reports – or at least the content – would have been made available to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and at least some Cabinet ministers ahead of making the decision to pursue the mandates and vaccine passports.

                    I’m sure that you (and other braindead zombies who have also succumbed to Te Virus) believe that the PM received advice from the “Intelligence Service” to engage with the protestors to avoid radicalisation by extreme elements and thus prevent future terror attacks. And I’m also sure that you believe that anything bad coming out of the protests is on the PM even when some nutter may decide to try blow up Parliament of 5 Nov. It is only logical given your state of mind that you believe these and other fantasies and figments of your vivid imagination and consider them to be logical.

                    You see, I’ve always believed that engaging with extremists of any kind (e.g. the violent kind) carries a risk of encouraging and validating them, their beliefs, and their actions. I don’t believe that not engaging with peaceful protestors who may have a genuine concern, which usually is a singular issue, leads to radicalisation of these citizens and turns them into extremists willing to commit terror acts against their fellow Kiwis. You see, my logic tells me that this would be highly irrational behaviour – unless they’re brainwashed. Are you brainwashed or a brainwasher?

                      You seem high as a kite

                      There is no need for the personal swipes littered throughout your reply. Address the reasoning.

                      The potential for radicalisation by extreme elements within the protest has been reported on.

                      https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/461959/far-right-elements-at-convoy-could-radicalise-others-to-violence-researcher

                      So that is another potential risk that I'm sure the PM is aware of. Yet, it seems her stance in not engaging is steadfast.

                      The protest is the consequence of the mandates. Her failure to engage saw protesters dig in. Upsetting some in Wellington.

                      She nevertheless continued with her stance to not engage. Now protests have spread to other parts of the country. Upsetting others, yet she's still unwavering

                      One hopes her continued failure to engage doesn't lead to the potential risks that have been reported such as radicalisation and acts of terror.

                      And I’m also sure that you believe that anything bad coming out of the protests is on the PM…

                      She has the potential to end this protest.

                      She knows some in Wellington are unhappy, yet doesn't engage. Doesn't even try to engage to see if there is a potential for a settlement. So what do you think? She has no culpability for her failure to not even try to settle this?

                      I’ve always believed that engaging with extremists of any kind (e.g. the violent kind) carries a risk of encouraging and validating them, their beliefs, and their actions.

                      Good. No one is suggesting she should engage with them extremists. There are plenty of good people there.

                      I don’t believe that not engaging with peaceful protestors who may have a genuine concern, which usually is a singular issue, leads to radicalisation of these citizens and turns them into extremists willing to commit terror acts

                      Despite the Intelligence Service report and others pointing to this potential?

                      Already did: you’re smoking your own dope.

                      The PM did not plant those far-right elements in the protest and she was right not to engage with that sub-fraction of the protestors, IMO.

                      Despite the Intelligence Service report and others pointing to this potential?

                      I reject your premise; read what I said. The PM is and cannot be responsible [“culpability”, FFS!] for any act of terror committed by an extremist splinter group – believing this would be a huge victory for such terrorist(s) and undermine the authority of (current) Government, which is often one of the goals of terrorist organisations. Your BS comments play right into the hands of extremists, i.e. you’ve jumped on their bandwagon without even realising it, and such is your state of brainwashing.

                      You are as obsessed as some others about the PM engaging about mandates when it demonstrably [see what I did there?] is not about mandates; it is about rejecting authority and control by unlawful means at any cost, even if it means using violence and terror, it seems, and without using alternative and appropriate (i.e. lawful) avenues such as the Courts.

                      BTW, you don’t know anything about the briefings and reports to the PM and Cabinet from the Intelligence agencies – >99% is made up inside your head. Stop huffing and puffing.

      If it is correct that our Intelligence Service has determined a 'realistic possibility' of violent terror attack threat from these Anti-Mandate protesters, then fair enough I take it all back.

      Inside intelligence: Security service reports detail 'realistic possibility' of violent terror attack threat from 'peaceful' anti-vax movement – NZ Herald

      Nuke them.

      Sigh.

      I've just read out aloud that entire piece to a pleb without a Herald subscription, and woven with a larger thread throughout that scary sounding document are statements from the writers that acknowledge the …

      the "overwhelmingly peaceful" opposition to the Covid-19 vaccine.

      While the intelligence reports repeatedly emphasise the broadly peaceful nature of the anti-vax movements, they highlight the vaccine mandates and passport as particular policies that might drive an individual…

      We assess the most likely scenario for a terrorist attack in New Zealand remains a lone actor attack, using a basic capability."

      "…anti-vaccination movements globally are not inherently violent".

      "Should any such violence occur, we currently assess this would more likely manifest as an isolated instance of violent protest rather than an act of terrorism."

      in a section titled "Nexus to Violent Extremism", it described the anti-vax movements as not "an inherently violent extremist ideology"

      It said anti-vax rhetoric resonated most closely with the "politically-motivated extremist community" such as the QAnon conspiracy and the Sovereign Citizens movement that believes individuals can choose which laws to obey.

      The CTAG report said such rhetoric "continues to manifest across all violent extremist ideologies" with Covid-19 conspiracy theories popular on pro-Islamic State social media.

      It was "highly likely that violent extremist ideologues" would use opposition to Covid-19 measures like vaccine mandates and passports "to advance their respective ideologies within the anti-vax community".

      By November, the CTAG assessment noted "a significant increase in anti-government rhetoric, including some that is explicitly violent", largely driven by the vaccine mandate and passport and the lockdown then still underway in Auckland.

      The CTAG report assessed most of those adopting or supporting "violent extremist rhetoric" would be "highly unlikely to have the intent to conduct violence".

      The CTAG report said it had also now identified "faith-motivated extremists" and "white identity-motivated extremists" alongside politically-driven extremists. The groups were "a very small proportion of those opposed" to the public health approach, who it described as "driven by a diverse set of ideological frameworks and personal grievances" and were "overwhelmingly peaceful".

      the assessments accurately forecasted growing social division and protest if New Zealand went down the path of mandates and vaccine passports.

      The reports – or at least the content – would have been made available to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and at least some Cabinet ministers ahead of making the decision to pursue the mandates and vaccine passports. It shows the decision to forge ahead with a public health approach wasn't made without knowledge it could spark strong opposition.
      The Prime Minister's office did not respond to a request for comment.

      Forgive the large copy and paste…I have cherry picked the lines that support the view of the authors more accurately than your little incitement to genocide Ad.

      Most importantly is the last excerpt that shows the spooks warned the Government that strict and repressive 'public health measures' could very likely kick things off fightback wise.

      Add to that the fact of more people being aware of adverse effects from the Pfizer product (and the near impossibility of getting an exemption if one suffered such an effect), job mandates and loss of income and homes and the exclusion of kids from beloved after school activities if parents had chosen for them not to be jabbed and the final straw of the massive push to 'vaccinate' five year olds with a product that other more civilized nations had declined to promote for that age group because the risks outweigh the benefits.

        I would agree with you that this government has helped cause extremism through sustained refusal to engage. At Waitangi, Ardern would melt into a puddle if she's had to square up to in-your-face anger that Bolger, Clark and ministers squared up to over two decades.

        But if your Security brief really is assessing it this way now, it’s become too hard to meet.

            Do you remember Ardern's words at Waitangi only last year? "Hold us to account but only the polite Maori not the rowdy ones."

            Or did she say something different?

            Muldoon dealt with worse. Lange dealt with worse. Bolger and Clark dealt with worse.

            Ardern is on the same scale as Key when it comes to 'handling the truth'.
