New Zealand ending pandemic curbs, adopting a system of living with virus
The Hill ^ | 11/22/2021 | SARAKSHI RAI

New Zealand will ease COVID-19 measures and implement a new system for living with the virus next month, according to a Reuters report.

The country has seen one of the strictest lockdowns in the world and will move away from its "zero COVID" policy to allow businesses and vaccinated people more freedom, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced on Monday.

The new policy will be implemented on Dec. 2 at 11:59 p.m., with Arden acknowledging that "delta is here and not going away."

From my perspective, the most disastrous situation one could put himself/herself into is in a room with unmasked Double-Vaxxed and Boosted sheep. They are nothing but Covid Typhoid Mary Incubators in my book.

RE: adopting a system of living with virus

The whole world should be doing this. Whether we like it or not, SARS-COV-2, like SARS-COV-1 is already with us and nothing we do is going to change that fact.

“...allow businesses and vaccinated people more freedom”

As long as the govt is “allowing” them I guess it’s Ok.

Note the word “allow” as though the people of New Zealand are slaves belonging to their Prime Minister and other political hacks. For real?

Dear Jacinda,

Please call Uttar Pradesh, India. Ask if they’ll send you some ivermectin-zinc counter-covid medicine packages. They worked very well there.

Had my booster on Saturday. Today will resume my daily gum routine. The jabs have helped me avoid covid symptoms altogether for almost 9 months now. And will board Royal Caribbean ship coming Monday for 2nd cruise in 2 months. Thank God unvaxxed people are not allowed to enter the ship. All non-vaxxed, enjoy your basement.

There are more than 14 states in India. Uttar Pradesh is just one of them. Have the other states followed UP’s example?

Correct. Kiwis are subjects. Not citizens.

Bravo. Hope they now apologize for being such idiots.

Perhaps Australia will also get some common sense.

I don’t expect the libtard governors in our country to follow suit anytime soon.

If you are vaccinated, why do you fear the unvaccinated?

Could you at some gut level think the vaccines don’t work as advertised?

Your attitude is bad. I’m vacxed and my husband is not.

Everyone should be given a choice a their choices respected.

Vaccinated people get sick and spread the virus too, it’s just they have a lower chance of serious complications.

I wish my husband would get vaccinated, but he’s had some problems with vaccines in the past. He thinks his risk from the vaccine is greater than risk from the illness. I disagree, but respect his decision.

Can’t everyone just be free and respect each other’s decision.

“Again with the class distinctions. Vaxxed(doomed) vs unvaxxed(survivors).

Recent events demonstrate clearly that the vaccines have almost no value against the new variants and in fact damage many people’s immune systems New Zealand has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. They have also had some of the most restrictive anti-covid regulations.

I assume that those in charge are beginning to worry about the political backlash. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, although it will be subject to the same level of censorship as all other Covid coverage.

Your attitude is just as bad as the ones pushing vaccine mandates.

This really should be a personal choice.

It’s sad how this has been politicized.

I’m vaccinated, and my husband isn’t. Amazing that we can respect each other’s decision and still be nice and kind and live each other.

If the Jim Jones Jab that you embrace works, what would you have to fear?

Here is a list of reference articles to Uttar Pradesh’s use of ivermectin:

Bottom line: the worst thing ever to happen to medicine is politics.
