The irony is the counter protest using words like "trash" and "fascist" seem to be the group using more hateful and divisive language.
Oh well at least the ODT admit that an alt-right, anti-vaccine, conspiracy theorist was providing more relevant and appealing coverage to the public than anything in the mainstream. "The Disinformation Project noted that Baker's Facebook Live broadcasts - ...
And you can literally find angry commentary made in any protest, at the extreme ends. Have we forgotten about Hone Harawira? At least he was usually given right of reply by the mainstream media. I'm at a loss to understand how it can be called fair, even ...
"Reality is just not the point".. Yet the Platform interviewed the main protagonists of the Stuff - Fire and Fury doco, and at least attempted to test them, question them and get their side of the story, which I thought is a basic of journalism to get both...
New Zealand's deluded, fascist, far right responds to stuff's fair and independent investigative journalism. https://www.facebook.com/ChantelleBakerNZ/videos/462510462422548/
If this opinion piece was written in 1981, it would say angry people protesting the springbok tour and donning motorbike helmets are also a threat to society. It provides little insight or analysis into the issues at play, it stokes people fears and ...
In one of the biggest moments in NZ civil rights history, journos found some very angry people. Stunning journalism that...
I'm sure those in disagreement said similar things about the springbok tour protestors too...
The people most concerned about restrictions on our freedom and rights, are the facists? Ok..
Vaccine denialism didn't start this... Vaccine propaganda did. https://twitter.com/MartinKulldorff/status/1516203614326472708
Your "anti vax nonsense" is another's actual journalism. You know, using critical thinking and asking some of the hard questions like, why is a potential covid treatment being censored? like journos used to do. Perhaps you're more used to watching TV One ...
6 years ago many on here were supportive of the TPP protests that caused traffic chaos in the name of sovereignty and freedom... Hmm, sound familiar.. .https://thestandard.org.nz/daily-review-04022016/
You don't appear that interested in living in a democratic and free society, otherwise you would be generally supportive of Tamaki's groups actions, love him or hate him.
This isn't medical sense though, much of the idea behind vaccinations and mask wearing was to avoid putting stress on and potentially collapsing the health system. And look where we are at now... achieving exactly what we didn't want.
One would have to question the General that as casualties stack up, keeps 700 nurses in a POW camp at home, because there was a question mark over the last item of their medical.
Anecdotally I've seen it spread through all different groups of people, vaccination status doesn't seem to be a deciding factor, but I'd be interested to know if we have evidence of only the unvaccinated being the superspreaders?? Highly vaccinated ...
It's working is it? Thank goodness our health care system isn't currently under unprecedented stress and that covid infection rates and flu rates are some of the lowest in the world! Yeah right..
Thanks Rosemary. I'm beginning to think what we witnessed was a significant moment in NZ civil rights history, something that hasn't been seen in many generations. This was reinforced to me when I viewed footage of the thousands of personal messages ...
Quite helpful russian propaganda though, giving kiwis a heads up on vaccine effectiveness and side effects was probably useful for many.
Forcing dedicated frontline staff out of their jobs, upending their lives, and duly fucking up the health system in the name of policy is the reprehensible thing here.
That's a bit sad... a candidate who had a successful election running on local democracy and community, freedom of choice, and green values is to be ignored...
Wonderful comment, thank you. Meanwhile many of the bright minds here could only engage with ridicule and rage as their fellow NZers cried out for help. This response I can only sum up as anti New Zealand.
Then when you read the actual study being referred to, the main thrust of it is that unvaccinated people infected with omicron don't have antibodies for the other variants, which is what you would expect if they have never previously contracted those ...
I'm happy to stick with the South African Medical Association "mild" impression, and my own anecdotal evidence at this stage. https://twitter.com/EssexPR/status/1470007687475773449
Interestingly, I personally know of a few younger people, all under 40, vaccinated and healthy individuals, who have had a rough time with having covid. I find that concerning as I was under the impression that omicron was mild and this group would have ...
I don't understand the logic sorry. You're concerned about unvaccinated people that make up a small number of New Zealanders and proportion of infections, spreading a disease into a secure residence that they have limited or no access to?
So obvious it didn't need to be documented... or have any supporting evidence. Hmm ok.
That looks to be based on rumour Anne, personally I would like to see some evidence. I've seen two news articles that said first there were about 4 cases linked to the protest, and later something like 28. Out of many thousands of attendees that does not ...
Thank you to your daughter, one of the heroes. I am wondering if your line about "super spreader antivaxers" is an opinion or based on evidence from your daughter? Because we have seen outbreaks start from numerous vaccinated sports teams and the ...
"One of the loudest tents is filled with Hare Krishnas, dancing, and singing. Yoga and meditation is also on offer. At dinnertime the largest line is for Hare Krishna food – curries and samosas." Yep, completely toxic to anyone with a semblance of green ...
NNzer, that's interesting, so evidence then the protestors used at least two mediators (one being the backbencher guy) to try and get talks going. Only one MP attempted negotiation by making his own demands a priority and duly got nowhere.
