As we move into summer, it traditionally turns into an exciting time as we head towards christmas. It’s a time when we go on holidays at the beach, catch up with family, etc.
Covid put a hold on that for several years, and the memories of that can leave you feeling a bit cheated if only because of lost opportunities. For example, the kids that got turfed out of university, the jobs lost, the overseas holidays cancelled with no refund.

Two years ago I sat in Civic Square and heard and saw the testimonies of people whose lives had been, literally, brought to ruination because our government decided to ride roughshod over our fundamental human rights and to violate the sanctity of our bodies. Two years ago, as I sat, two police-persons had trained a…
A significant number of people have been injured by those covid vaccines that were so ‘important’ a few years ago.
These people are constantly ignored and gaslit by Health services here in NZ. That happens because of an attitude that they were ‘nessessary colateral damage in the war against covid’.
Red Remembrance day remembers these people as they struggle with their injuries with no help from any Government services.
The speaker in the video below is Lynda Wharton from ‘The Health Forum’ -they had 60,000 followers on facebook until they were suddenly deplatformed over night.
