That VFF badge

I wear a small badge everywhere I go.
     
It’s physically quite small, but can cause some interesting reactions.

It’s never anything overt, it’s always a passive/ agressive attitude, as if it annoys them,  but they wont talk about it.

The badge almost belongs in another time in some ways, and to some I think it’s a reminder of what they want to forget.

It’s from a time of covid mandates, lockdowns, closing schools, and discrimination against the unvaccinated.

Voices for Freedom were one of several ‘anti vax’ groups.

Back then in 2020, we were considered the scum of the earth by some, because we refused to go along with the whole covid scamdemic .

I still wear it because I still spend a lot of time with friends who were on the same journey as we were, and it’s a reminder of who we are and what we stood for.

Covid may be gone for most, but the people that engineered that crisis and profited from it are still out there, and they aren’t going away any time soon.

The WHO, CDC, WEF, etc still have plans for the general public, regardless of what they may think or feel -and thats dangerous.

The world has gone crazy in the last few years, and to be fair, some of my new friends have some pretty interesting thoeries about flat earth, 5 G cell phones, etc.

Then again, those who would criticise them haven’t shown themselves to be pillars of virtue in the last few years, and theres still no sign of any sort of public acknowledgement or remorse, at least here in NZ.

So I still wear that badge with pride, it’s a reminder of when some of us stood our ground, at a time when so many seemed to lose their sanity.

Perhaps it’s an anarchcronism from another time, that people would rather forget, but to me it’s a reminder of how fragile civilisation can be.

They locked down schools for no reason….

An update from NZDSOS  https://nzdsos.com/

NZTSOS have uncovered a ‘Science and Insights’ report that was published by the Ministry of Health in Oct 2021, which totally demolishes the Labour Government’s narrative around the ‘grave risk’ that existed in schools and healthcare settings at the time.

Because of this discovery, we now know that before the Health and Education mandate order was signed, the government had in its possession high-quality evidence that the risk of transmission in schools and healthcare settings was insignificant, and that the vaccination mandate was therefore totally unnecessary.

There’s no easy way around the importance of this document.  It’s the Ministry’s own contact-tracing data.  It has a very large sample size making it highly reliable (over 11,000 education contacts were analysed), and it’s the most relevant piece of information that they would have had in their possession in relation to the vaccine mandate.  It told the government that in Healthcare settings only one in 500 contacts became infected, while in Educational settings, just one in 1,000 contacts became infected.

Yet, knowing all this, Hipkins went ahead and signed the mandate order that brought so much unnecessary pain and suffering on so many.

Can it get any worse than this?  Well, unfortunately, it can!

Health and Education workers (NZDSOS and NZTSOS) went to the High Court in March 2022 to have the vaccination mandate order declared unlawful.  The Crown produced sworn affidavits from four witnesses (Mr Hipkins, Ms Mackay, Dr Town and Dr Bloomfield), with Drs Town and Bloomfield being accepted by the court as ‘expert witnesses’.

Now, there are very strict rules that control the evidence of an ‘expert witness’.  They must swear to assist the court ‘impartially’, and also that they will tell the court if any part of their evidence is ‘incomplete or inaccurate without some qualification’.  Drs Town and Bloomfield both would have known about this highly relevant MoH analysis, but they did not reveal this to the court.  NZTSOS believe that by keeping this from the high Court Drs Town and Bloomfield clearly contravened the rules for expert witnesses, and potentially open themselves to a charge of perjury.

Another Crown witness, Ms Mackay, also kept highly relevant information from the court.  She correctly told the court that only eleven ‘applications’ for ‘Serious Service Disruption’ (SSD) exemptions had been granted, but failed to tell the court that one application alone was for 971 workers, and that by the date of her affidavit these 11 ‘applications’ covered a total of 2,833 workers – all of this while hundreds of other fine workers were being terminated because of what the court approvingly termed the governments ‘zero-tolerance’ approach.  If only the court had known!

NZTSOS is now seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court, and one of their claims is that these serious omissions in the evidence presented by the Crown’s witnesses has led to a ‘miscarriage of justice’.

What can you do to help?  Well, if the NZTSOS appeal is accepted, they’re going to need financial help, but that can wait for the moment.  Right now, they need everyone who’s been affected by the mandate to help share this bombshell revelation.  We need to make it difficult for the Supreme Court to quietly decline their application in the hope that it will just go away. 

So, can you write to your MP?  Can you share this post with others?  If we all do our bit to publicise this bombshell, we may yet succeed in holding to account those who have perpetrated this grave injustice.
