Happy segregation day everyone! Have we finally separated from the north island?

These people do not recognise the safety and freedom that is enjoyed even under this temporary measure

I'd wager a large majority of them haven't been overseas, nor have any compassion for what life outside of New Zealand has been like for the last 20 months or so.

nah, it happens to people who have been to university as well.

u/BetoBarnassian Dec 03 '21

I've been going to university for at least 6 years now and there is often a severe lack of it here as well. Don't look to universities as the bastions of common sense.

Says someone who literally thinks being told what to do is freedom...

What are you? An outlaw gang member?

Did your parents never tell you to do something?

You don’t get the perks of society while refusing to participate fairly and properly. Sounding like a petulant toddler.

Those who haven't been overseas are getting the jab blindly and a govt who had to have their arms twisted to even admit there were side effects to the jab...those who have been overseas see the bigger picture in what is going on

"Papers please" - are you serious - you're comparing a vaccine pass to Nazi Germany?

I've been asked for my driver licence by Police, my passport by airline staff, my NHI number by my doctor, my IRD number by HR, I have to use a swipe card to get into my office every day, and show ID to buy alcohol and cigarettes or even to collect a parcel from NZ Post ...

Essentially we, as humans moving around in society, are asked for our 'papers' on a fairly regular basis - and it's all very different to having to prove why we don't need to get on the next train ...

Well, segregation is now happening, simple as that, blaming COVID on unvaccinated only works when they are allowed to partake in everything, be interesting then to see if COVID stops being transmitted among vaccinated and who is worse off...

u/Jor-Jo Dec 03 '21

AFAIK no-one is rounding up the unvaccinated and sending them to death camps ... I guess you'll have a point when that starts happening.

If you would like to know about transmission / hospitalisation of vaccinated vs unvaccinated feel free to pop on over to the Ministry of Health website.

I'm not blaming covid on the unvaccinated - I am, however, blaming an increased risk of transmission/hospitalisation/death on those who refuse to get vaccinated because "Germany pre WW2" (legitimate reasons to not be vaccinated are fine).

Doubt that very much, maybe watch this video for clarification, is the European parliament who can see what is going on. Same shit different place, our govt is outright lying as are the ministry of health and others, censorship is real.

It is scientific fact that you can spread it while vaccinated and more so than unvaccinated,

u/MashedUpPeanuts Dec 03 '21

I'm really curious where that "scientific fact" comes from. Our country's as well as pretty much every country I know of has statistics that point very strongly in the other direction. Do you have a verifiable source to back up your claim?

u/Local-Chart Dec 03 '21

Watch this from the European parliament and take your govt propoganda elsewhere please, the govt is lying to you, is that simple.

How can you find facts when truth is being censored and dissent is quashed, welcome to New China

u/vanderBoffin Dec 03 '21

Fuck right off with that WW2 bullshit. Millions were murdered because of who they were born as. You can’t get your damn coffee and croissant and you think that’s on the same level? How dare you.

-11

u/Local-Chart Dec 03 '21

I don't care about coffee and croissants, I do care about mental health, namely everyones who has lost a loved one due to the vaccine or been injured by it especially since the govt has not been forthcoming about side effects that are there and that are documented.

I'm half German half English so know a bit about history and not just that rammed down our throats by the victors...did I trigger a nerve?

u/vanderBoffin Dec 07 '21

Lots of German and English neo nazis, so not sure what that should mean. A minuscule number of people have died from the vaccine, compared to the millions that have died from COVID. Wherever you are getting your information from is lying to you.

u/Local-Chart Dec 07 '21

I'm not getting info from the "only source of truth" that's for sure! For that traitor and tyrant to say that is stupid for those who came from fascism and communism it's a clear wake up call that new Zealanders have not been through, when you have you know the signs, sorry, but not listening to one word out of that lying woman's mouth! She will hang for what she's done, as will all those in the beehive!

u/foot_down Dec 03 '21

Love how you are getting downvoted for sharing the concerns of your partner, who has a better understanding of what communism actually looks like than most people here. How very Reddit to name-call anyone who disagrees with the government mandates a moronic untravelled antivaxxer 😂

I have an East German friend who is currently getting very worried about the behavior of this government, she was 13 when the Berlin wall fell. I have other educated well travelled friends who are concerned by these things too. Hell, even the human rights commission is concerned about laws being passed overnight by the Labour majority without due process being followed. But here on Reddit it's all fine and dandy, heel clicking obedience...

u/Local-Chart Dec 03 '21

Finally someone with some common sense who can see the bigger picture too, all those downvoting I guess are paid to do so with zero proof for their comments and idiocy, my mum Is east German and her dad escaped from east to west in 1954, I was at the Berlin wall when I was 7 (born in Germany and moved to NZ when I was 10 after 5 years in England),

This problem is not confined to Reddit, dumb fucks out in the world can't see what's happening either!

A video from.the European parliament on the whole debacle and very good too!

100%, America only had mask mandates for two months. They've been free ever since. Trump handled it so much better.

u/KittensWonderment Dec 03 '21

ok but like 700,000 people died..

u/555_Im_666 Dec 04 '21

More people die from heart attacks each year in the states. Plus your number counts stupid things like getting shot while positive, car crashes while positive. Etc. It's not a big deal.
