It was always going to be a hard year for her to stay as PM because it’s becoming plainly obvious that the mandates and the obsession with vaccinating everyone for covid was a political decision, rather than based on health. An example of this is the following reports leaked a few days ago that show that vaccinating 12-15 yr old’s wasn’t recommended because of the risk of myocarditis.

The Government removed any mention of the health risks and coerced them to get vaccinated anyway. They were ‘incouraged’ to get the jab, by preventing them from playing any sports, bribing them with KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), concerts, as well as peer pressure, etc.

(This means I’m spending money like it’s going out of fashion, while she’s earning it.) I’ll do a post on this later…

For context, Nadine started her list of questions with the statement, “Now that the mandate issue has passed, what is your platform beyond the “freedom” message?”…

Our response was as follows:
