They all said the same thing. Even the waffling was scripted. Every health authority everywhere.

As far as I'm aware, nobody has ever bothered to properly account for the many decades when we were not encouraged to mask up (or when we were actively discouraged from doing so, because -- they told us -- masking up would have been a useless and unhealthy strategy for trying to ward off illness).

 

Seriously, today they could announce that wearing a fruit basket on your head will help to prevent car accidents. Not only would many people believe it, but they would never bother to wonder why this crucially valuable tip wasn't publicized earlier. And if an outcast dares to ask why this crucially valuable tip wasn't publicized earlier, those same people would eagerly provide the answer: because wearing a fruit basket on your head obviously wouldn't have helped to prevent car accidents before the announcement was made that wearing a fruit basket on your head would help to prevent car accidents. How could it have possibly helped? It's just a fruit basket. Don't be stupid. Wearing a fruit basket on your head could only obviously help to prevent car accidents now, after the announcement, and it will only obviously help until the subsequent announcement that it no longer helps. Anyone who continues to wear a fruit basket on his head after that point is obviously a silly crackpot... until the subsequent re-announcement that it obviously helps to wear a fruit basket on your head, in which case the silly crackpots were right all along and we should forget all of the nasty things we were saying about them while they were still wearing fruit baskets on their heads even though it obviously wasn't helping but even though it actually was obviously still helping.

This is both frightening and enlightening. It's a shame more people won't ever see this: https://youtu.be/LLRc0-KkrgE

I think he touches on a subject that goes a lot further than just the pandemic.

Yes it does. Read the allegory of the cave from Plato’s Republic. That will let you know it’s not new. Like he says in the video except that’s a few thousand years ago.

THE New Zealand Ministry of Health granted vaccine exemptions to hundreds among its key staff whilst hypocritically insisting that the public be vaccinated.

 

An Official Information Act (OIA) request to the ministry dated August 2, 2023 asked the following question:

‘According to the legislation at the time in 2021, there were operational exemptions available for those who were not getting vaccinated against Covid-19. How many requests were received? How many were approved by the ministry?’ 

 

Matt Hannant, Interim Director, Prevention, National Public Health Service, replied:

 

‘From 13 November 2021 to 26 September 2022, a total of 478 applications for Significant Service Disruption exemption (SSD) were received. 103 applications were granted, covering approximately 11,005 workers. Please note that it is not possible to provide the exact number of workers that were covered by SSDs. This is because it was possible for an organisation to submit an application to cover more than one worker.’

 

So exactly how many Ministry of Health staff and associated contractors benefited from the vaccine exemptions? I have made inquiries and found some staff prepared to leak information. One source has told me that 95 consultants in the Dunedin region alone benefited from vaccine exemptions. Another source has pointed to a group of doctors working in Northland who arranged among themselves to remain unvaccinated. The total appears to run to hundreds and possibly more.

 

It seems that those granted exemptions were restrained by gagging orders so that they could not tell anyone that they had been granted exemptions: it was a secretive process that the Ministry of Health was anxious to hide from the public.
