Minus two…

It was only a few months ago that I posted about our youngest daughter starting university in a far away city

That has prompted our other daughter to spread her wings and leave the nest as well.

We are now part time empty nesters, but this could easily become a full time occupation the way things are going.

This has left us with.. spare time and energy -lots of it.

My wife has taken to quilting in a big way, which at this point means the dining table is not for dining anymore, but more worryingly half the garage has been swallowed up with quilting stuff. (mental note -I must get another motorcycle before its too late).

Covid narratives -The times are a changing

Five years ago, any Doctor or nurse who didn’t follow the Governments covid propaganda got heavily dealt to, to get them to shutup.

Rational analysis just wasn’t a thing.

The nobel prize winning Ivermectin for example, became verboten. (This was done so that Pfizer could get their product over the line using ’emergency use only’ leglislation in the USA).

After it became obvious that covid wasn’t a thing anymore, the persecutions kept continuing anyway.

The Medical council (MCNZ) in particular hounded doctors and nurse’s who ‘stepped out of line’. These proffessionals simply tried doing what they thought was best for their patients and got persecuted as a result.

A few examples  are below..

However, the tide is turning, and it’s nice to report that several of the worse members of MCNZ have found their contracts won’t be renewed due to ‘idealogical reasons’

Interestingly, both Rachelle Love and Simon Watt have vanished off MCNZ’s  Website

There’s a german word for how I feel about this  -schadenfreude
