As one who is subject to an ongoing actual compulsory removal of my actual Bill of Rights rights for the sake of pandering to antisocial moron vaccine refusers, my good-will is now gone. Minor consequences resulting from exercising the choice to refuse a ...
"No jab, no job" is not compulsion. If someone really really doesn't want to get jabbed, they still have plenty of choices and options. They can figure out how to earn a living from home. Plenty of people already do that. But at this stage, the ...
National at least has a plan, however inept and misguided and heartless it may be. Our government's plan so far appears to be to just cruise along murmuring sweet nothings while keeping Auckland in lockdown until all the vaccine refusers that have zero ...
Indeed. That's why I'm so obnoxiously loud about wanting to know what the government plans to do to lift vaccination rates so that those future lockdowns can be short and sharp rather than the extended lockdown with no end in sight we currently have in ...
Ah, the joys of being a moderator so you don't have to back your assertions.
I've seen lefties and centre lefties on TS argue for forced vaccination Who? Links please.
I wasn't referring to Jack.
Especially by those in careers where they claim to be providing "healthcare" and "education". Fuck, if that's their level of cognitive function, we're collectively better off without them screwing up healthcare and education. Even if it adds a bit of short...
lefties (tbf, mostly centre lefties) arguing for the removal of human rights in NZ because we've lost so many rights already in the past 18 months What rights do you think lefties are arguing for the removal of? Nobody is arguing for removing the right to ...
It's not a team of 5 million when the government is caving in and pandering to the feels and reckons of half a million moronic antisocial assholes to put 1.8 million of us into forced home detention with day release for work, just a small step short of ...
When someone's values include apologia and justifications for willful disease spreaders, I don't want any part of them.
Thank you. I obviously wasn't using the right search terms.
Pingao below was able to point me to a very helpful RNZ link. It's a couple of days out of date, but it's showing 2005 total cases. 1541 of those are unvaccinated (of those 409 are under 12), of the 1132 unvaccinated eligible adults, 138 are hospitalised ...
Thank you, very helpful link. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/450874/covid-19-data-visualisations-nz-in-numbers Those unvaccinated vs vaccinated case rates and hospitalisation rates could probably do with being much more widely publicised. They really ...
Anyone got any idea if the vaccination status of the new covid cases for the day is published anywhere?
Spare me the smug sanctimony.
Patricia, the very obvious problem here is the glacial pace of new first vaccinations. This very obvious problem needs a plan to address it. Now. There is zero evidence that the government has any urgency in developing and implementing a plan to lift those...
Yep. Sweet fuck-all.
Go fuck yourself. Sideways. Seriously. Under lockdown rules, I can't go and enjoy the outdoor activities that make life enjoyable. Just a few sanitised zero-risk boring as fuck local walkies or similar. I can't go and get supplies for any of the projects ...
It's not reasonable when those insisting their right to refuse vaccination without consequences completely overrides other people's rights. If someone thinks their right to refuse vaccination is that important to them, they can live the lockdown life. They...
"No jab, no job" is not a right being taken away. It's a consequence of someone choosing to be an antisocial arsehole and refusing to do a quick, safe, effective and free precaution against being a willful disease spreader. It's also a totally reasonable ...
An arsonist goes around setting other people's houses on fire, and his own house catches alight. Whose houses should the firefighters put their limited finite efforts towards saving?
No it's not the role of the health care system. Their values and ethics and decisions trees are set in normal times. These are not normal times, and normal medical values and ethics are miscalibrated for these not-normal times. It's the government's ...
I've actually spent a lot of time with some vaccine hesitants getting them actual accurate information, and talking them through how routine vaccination is just a normal part of life for the large majority of the population. I'm pretty sure I was mostly ...
What I'm suggesting is that when the health system gets overwhelmed and triaging is needed, the unvaxed covid patients should be first on the list to get triaged out. As an entirely reasonable and predictable consequence of their choice to enable the ...
FFS, why on earth do you think a couple of weeks of level 4 might be the trick this time when the five weeks from 18th August to 22 September wasn't enough before? Especially now that it seems to be in communities that aren't compliant with the level rules...
Jacinda might grace us with the magic number on Friday. Maybe. She hasn't promised a plan for how to get to whatever that magic number might be.
What are these experts proposing to do to lift our vaccination rate?
Bill of Rights Act: Manifestation of religion and belief Every person has the right to manifest that person's religion or belief in worship, observance, practice, or teaching, either individually or in community with others, and either in public or in ...
Nice diversion. What's your suggestion for when the health system gets overwhelmed with unvaccinated covid patients?
Your sense of security and other warm fuzzies is being taken from the hides of Aucklanders suffering really fucking onerous removals of our actual rights. With our government failing to provide any kind of clarity on any substantial actions to get us out ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
