    The only real need the NZ Police need to use a firearm is to shoot feral cats, goats and the odd Australian Brush Tail possum introduced by you folk to make fur hats.

    Use of Firearms by Police | New Zealand Police

    Yes the NZ bill of rights act (BORA) does grant freedom of movement and that act does have limitations. Freedom of movement is never an absolute e.g. choose to drive on the wrong side of the road and you will get stopped (one way or the other), or for a less ridiculous example a person with ebola should be able to be quarantined. All of our covid rules required (in fact all of our laws) require consideration of the BORA and can be legally challenged on those grounds. The lockdowns in NZ are empowered under the Health Act, and required several other conditions to be met. Some of the early lockdowns were found to be illegal in our courts and were modified.

    Further, the police have taken an ‘education’ approach to covid rules. There are multiple interactions, before warnings etc. IIRC one person had five separate formal warnings before arrest.

    Is our situation perfect - no far from it! However our elected government has been checked by the courts and were re-elected partway through covid. Part of living in a democracy is accepting when Im in the minority and factually critiquing decisions and policies. In this case, the legal basis and police actions appear to be legal and decisions made by the duly authorised people/groups.
    Your argument is simply that the imposition of a police state has been done according to the laws. This is very true, and New Zealand is far from being the only country in which this has happened. The major difference at this point is that hardly anybody not from the Anglo-Pacific is pretending to live normal lives.

    Fear-mongering Media Doctors Get It Wrong Again!
    Dr. Peter McCullough joins Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle and describes the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 which has occurred from an evolutionary bottleneck fulfilling Muller's ratchet, a well-described phenomenon late in viral pandemics. Ingraham shows an amazing understanding of science and outperforms many of the fear-mongering media doctors. While delta is more contagious it is a less serious infection with lower mortality rates. Dr. McCullough said given the risks of myocarditis, that COVID-19 vaccination should not be performed under age 30 years.

    Following the 'Real Science' of Medicine: McCullough and Risch on The Ingraham Angle
    Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Harvey Risch from Yale together have nearly 1000 peer-reviewed publications. They have more credibility in response to the data emerging on COVID-19 than any public health agency official.
    Fauci has ties to the gain-of-function research that developed the dangerous Wuhan spike protein, which is the primary protein produced in the bodies of those who are seduced into vaccination with Pfizer, Moderna, and JNJ products. These vaccines have led to record-setting ~300,000 CDC-certified safety reports, including >5000 tragic and unnecessary American deaths.

    Prof. John P.A. Ioannidis talk on "COVID-19 epidemiology: risks, measures, and ending the pandemic" - YouTube
    Hosted by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Manuel Schabus, University of Salzburg
    --
    I have the pleasure to invite you to a talk of Prof. Dr. John P.A. Ioannidis (for biography see here: Page Not Found) on the 26th of June 2021 (10am). John is Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology and Population Health, and (by courtesy) of Biomedical Data Science, Statistics, and Co-Director of the Meta-Research Innovation Center at the University of Stanford (METRICS). USA. Prof. Ioannidis is one of the 10 currently most cited scientists across all disciplines (current citation rate above 6000 per month) and has a h-index of 213. He published extensively on the COVID-19 pandemic and is hosted by Prof. Manuel Schabus of the doctoral college IM & Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCNS).

    Abstract:
    COVID-19 has been a major crisis worldwide with severe repercussions from the pandemic itself, the impact on health systems (especially for vulnerable countries) as well as the measures taken to handle the pandemic. This has resulted in an unnecessary surplus of excess deaths with severe damage on all aspects of health (including mental health) and societal well-being. The lecture of Prof. Ioannidis will focus on what we have learned about the epidemiology of COVID-19, with emphasis on its extreme risk stratification, the debates about the infection fatality rate and the extent of population spread of the infection, the need to protect vulnerable populations and settings, and the poor evidence base for most of the horizontal measures taken. The lecture will also evaluate the current status and prospects of ending the pandemic and entering an endemic phase, given the widespread distribution of the virus and the advent of effective vaccines.

    The Florida building collapse has one silver lining, the 9/11 building conspiracy theorist can go away now.

    Has anyone had to fly recently? It seems if you have not been vaccinated you have to show proof of a negative Covid test and you also have to wear a mask the whole time, regardless of vaccination status. Is this being enforced?

    The only reason they can get away with this shit is because the fed is printing money to give them, to make up the losses from pissing off every sane person who is forced to do business with them, and who then decides that the drive isn't so bad.

    They already have, Steve. Look at this: Ivermectin: Can a Drug Be "Right-Wing"? - TK News by Matt Taibbi

    One of the first was in nearby Rochester, New York, where the family of Glenna Dickinson went through an almost exactly similar narrative to the Smentkiewiczes: they read about ivermectin, got a family doctor to prescribe it, saw improvement, only to later have the hospital refuse treatment. Again Lorigo intervened, again a judge ordered the hospital to treat, again the patient recovered and was discharged.

    Hospitals fought hard, hiring expensive law firms, at times going to extraordinary lengths to refuse treatment even with dying patients who’d exhausted all other options. At Edward-Elmhurst hospital in Chicago, a 68 year-old named Nurije Fype was admitted, put on a ventilator, and again, as all other treatments failed, her family got a judge to order the use of ivermectin. Lorigo claims the hospital initially refused to obey the court order, which led to the filing of a contempt motion, which in turn led to a pair of counter-motions and another confrontation before another befuddled Judge named James Orel.

    “Why wouldn't this be tried if she's not improving?” the Chicago Tribune quoted Orel as saying. “Why does the hospital object to providing this medication?”

    “He basically said, ‘What do you have left?’” Lorigo recounts. “No one would administer the ivermectin. It’s as safe as aspirin, for Christ’s sake. It’s been given out 3.7 billion times. I couldn’t understand it.”
    Vaccines | Free Full-Text | The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations—We Should Rethink the Policy | HTML

    Abstract
    Background: COVID-19 vaccines have had expedited reviews without sufficient safety data. We wanted to compare risks and benefits. Method: We calculated the number needed to vaccinate (NNTV) from a large Israeli field study to prevent one death. We accessed the Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) database of the European Medicines Agency and of the Dutch National Register (lareb.nl) to extract the number of cases reporting severe side effects and the number of cases with fatal side effects. Result: The NNTV is between 200–700 to prevent one case of COVID-19 for the mRNA vaccine marketed by Pfizer, while the NNTV to prevent one death is between 9000 and 50,000 (95% confidence interval), with 16,000 as a point estimate. The number of cases experiencing adverse reactions has been reported to be 700 per 100,000 vaccinations. Currently, we see 16 serious side effects per 100,000 vaccinations, and the number of fatal side effects is at 4.11/100,000 vaccinations. For three deaths prevented by vaccination we have to accept two inflicted by vaccination. Conclusions: This lack of clear benefit should cause governments to rethink their vaccination policy.
    The media, the pharm companies, the vaccinators, the health care system, most of the doctors, and the government -- of them apparently want dead people. Why?

    It certainly is! I do a lot of traveling for work. It's a real bitch!
