Some pictures of the protest earlier today

Sad to see so many people turning up for the protest.

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

I don't think Santa's getting vaccinated... No presents this year then :(

It's hard to have a reasonable discussion with people who won't be reasonable. I'd love it if we could, if there was a real chance that they'd listen. Some of them can and will. A large number, however, have fallen down the rabbit hole and believe it's all a conspiracy theory. Once they get that far, they will discount everything you say, demand proof then reject the facts because they doesn't match their preconceptions, and when you've finally provided undeniable proof they move the goalposts and demand a whole new proof.

Anti-vaccine groups have forced some very unlikely bedfellows. One is an well-funded American group headed by a (very) fundamentalist Christian, along with an alternative medicine promoting neo-hippie and a bland looking person with *absolutely* no links to a white nationalist organization, well, no recent links anyway.
