  1. Something stinks, the govt dont really give a fuck about the chch cases its not a big deal. They know its BS and a high cycled pcr test to get the positive but a great way to keep the south island on edge and try push more vax!

  2. From Judith.

    As we suspected, Labour announced yesterday that they are forcing their Three Waters reforms on local councils by legislation.

    Let me make our position very clear: National will repeal the Three Waters reforms and return all seized assets back to your local councils as soon as we return to Government.

    Labour will try to ram their bill through Parliament at any cost, but National will fight them every step of the way. We can’t afford to lose the ‘local’ from local government.

    Labour have failed to deliver on just about everything they’ve promised, and we need your help to tell as many Kiwis as possible. Can we count on your support?

    Nanaia Mahuta has foreshadowed this path for months, continually refusing to rule out mandating the reforms:

    First, the Government tried a $4 million scare campaign of misleading cartoon ads, showing sludge pouring from people’s taps.
    Then they announced a $2.5 billion slush fund to buy council support, which most councils saw for what it was.
    Finally, and most despicably, Nanaia Mahuta and Jacinda Ardern were willing to put councils though a sham consultation process, when they always intended to make it mandatory.

    It is plain for anyone to see that the Three Waters reforms are an asset and power grab by a Government that never met a public service it didn’t want to centralise and control.

    We need every fed-up New Zealander despairing about this Government to know that National has your back and we’re focused on making sure Labour has no chance at the next election.

    National has been vocally and relentlessly opposing the Three Waters asset grab in the news, in parliament, and on social media. Our job on Three Waters has only just begun as we prepare to throw everything at Labour to oppose the legislation.

    Tell your family and friends that National opposes Labour’s Three Waters reforms. We will repeal and reverse it.

    Until next time, thank you again for your support. Any contribution you can make to our efforts to return National to Government is greatly appreciated.

        • I agree.

          Think of Russian Roulette where each chamber in the revolver represents a part of freedom. e.g. health, economy, business, personal freedom, freedom from discrimination, freedom from having land and water given to Maori, etc etc,

          With National you are playing Russian Roulette with two bullets in the chambers.

          With Labour, the gun is fully loaded.

          The other thing, is that National will engage in rational debate, especially if force is bought to bear as it is right now. If you ask a question on the fly, you get an answer from some level of understanding.

          With Labour, you only ever get scripted responses, with questions from preselected interviewers. If you dare ask a question on the fly, they change the subject, walk away, or accuse you of bullying them.

          The Labour narcissists never engage in rational debate, they just deflect, and do whatever the hell you please. They are like an irresponsible single parent that would leave home at 8pm each night to go to the pub to get pissed and get a shag, and get home at 3am, having left 3 under five year olds on their own without a baby sitter.

          National is far from perfect, but at least you have some empty chambers in the gun.

        • I agree with you Capricorn. Also Dylan makes some good points about Russian roulette.

          I think National has been pretty much ‘Labour Lite’ for some years now and being a bit soppy is kinda no surprise. But Act’s traitorous about face is absolutely mind blowing and I would never trust that Seymour character ever again. After voting ACT in the last two elections I’m finished for good with these swine.

    • I dont believe a word of what national say, theyll get in power and hang onto the water assets and claim they have to because local govt is under too much pressure from covid debt blah blah.
      Plus the price it would cost the country to severe the deal with radical elite maori will be eye watering. Once this makes it through and comes to effect it will be irreversable.

      Look on the brightside ratepayers will rejoice now they no longer have to pay councils for water services//

      • This ratepayer is not even slightly interested in having a rates liability for a service as the Three Waters proposal makes water supply. Let the property occupier, pay for any service such as power supply, intranet, gas, water, sewage removal.

        The legal risks associated with rates are such that the asset thieving proposal inherent in Three Waters cannot have usage costs imposed on a ratepayer. They take the asset away. So to goes my rates obligation in my opinion. The waffle from the Minister claiming control remains with the ratepayer is as unbelievable as the rest of her practised script and dumb advertising on the matter.

        Stuffed if I think it is reasonable for the local authority to be able to take my property in lieu of payments not made to the Iwi. Could be a tenant in occupation. Certainly do not wish to have service costs covering a tenant added to the rate demand.

      Thank you, but sorry, she lost me at ‘…National will repeal the Three Waters reforms’,

      Based on their past performances it’s all hat no horse, as the nats NEVER repeal anything that the CoL / labour put in place.

      While just another another reason for not voting for labourlite., the last sentence was a classic:

      ‘Any contribution you can make to our efforts to return National to Government is greatly appreciated’

      They are THAT disconnected from reality!!

      How about Judith ,such small things as actual, definable, POLICIES and POLICIES and, if you are really concerned, ‘POLICIES’ instead of the ‘national has plans’ tripe that that you’re currently dishing up

      Show us, don’t tell us and PROVE that you’re different, ‘cos otherwise it’s all just talk (And your weekly cheque from Chairman Xi is in the mail).

    A government working group has presented a new proposal for Auckland Light Rail at more than ten times the original cost and well-behind initial timeframes.

    The report notes all three options require construction in heavily populated areas of Tāmaki Makaurau, including the city centre, Onehunga and Māngere town centre.

    Light Rail will likely require partial and full road closures for period of three to five years and disrupt central areas, like Queen Street and Dominion Road, for several years.

  6. Top Florida Official Pleads With In-N-Out to Move After Vaccine Mandate Closures
    By Jack Phillips
    October 27, 2021 Updated: October 27, 2021
    biggersmaller Print

    Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis, suggested that In-N-Out Burger should move to the Sunshine State after several In-N-Out locations were shut down by California officials.

    Patronis appealed to In-N-Out CEO Lunsi Snyder to move to the state, arguing that Florida has a superior business climate—noting the state has no personal income tax, low corporate taxes, and no mandates.

    “I’m writing you today not only as Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, but as a small business owner who grew up in a family-owned restaurant and worked there for more than 30 years,” his letter reads. “I know how hard it is to turn a profit and make payroll on a good day, let alone when your own government is working to crush your business with absurd mandates. Once I heard the news of your shutdown for refusing to act as ‘vaccine police,’ I knew I had to reach out immediately.”.

  7. ‘We Have a Communist Takeover’: Thousands of NYC Firemen and Police Officers Defy Vaccine Mandates in Largest Protest Yet
    By Enrico Trigoso

    biggersmaller Print

    New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s mandate last week for all city workers to get COVID-19 vaccines gave rise to even more protesters standing up against what they see as a violation of freedom of choice and a communist takeover of the country.

    The Epoch Times was there to interview some of the NYPD officers and FDNY participants, and witness the massive march across the Brooklyn Bridge that ended in front of City Hall on Monday afternoon.

    Protesters chanted slogans as they marched in support of freedom and against the mandates issued by de Blasio and President Joe Biden.

    The attack, labelled “not helpful” by Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta, referred to the Government’s intention to provide iwi representatives seats at the strategic governance level of four new water entities, which are planned to assume control of the country’s water infrastructure from councils in 2024.oor old Winny is in the crap again.

  11. I know you peasants are all going to be really mean to me and that’s not fair and it’s not equality but… I believe our disgusting situation we suddenly found ourselves in March 2020, is now improving drastically and that New Zealand will follow the overseas trend of putting COVID to bed.

    Without bodies on the streets – and don’t forget that the peasants World-wide were terrified last year SOLELY on that basis of images in the Main Stream Media – this fear could not be sustained indefinitely, despite the fear campaign.

    Now we have a REAL monster to worry about!!!

    NO! I’m talking about Mr Mike Hunty. I’m referring to INFLATION.

    And as the BIBLE tells us, disaster are like horses and come in herds:

    The Book of Revelations in the New Testament lists the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as conquest, war, famine and death, while in the Old Testament’s Book of Ezekiel they are sword, famine, wild beasts and pestilence or plague.

    Horseman 1: Predators
    Horsemen 2 and 3: Pathogens and parasites
    Horseman 4: Food supply
    The fifth horseman: THAT’S US!

    Go on… LAUGH!

  12. One has to ask why our government seem oblivious to what is going on overseas? Are they really so blinkered or is it, as some have claimed, that this has never been about a virus which in the vast majority of people has only “mild to moderate” symptoms but all about establishing a system of totalitarian control over a gullible population?

    EXCLUSIVE – 85% of Covid-19 Deaths & 75% of Hospitalisations were among the Fully Vaccinated in the last month according to the latest Public Health data

    https://theexpose.uk/2021/10/28/85-percent-of-covid-19-deaths-among-the-fully-vaccinated/

    The latest official Public Health data shows that the fully vaccinated accounted for 85% of Covid-19 deaths in the past four weeks, whilst also accounting for 75% of Covid-19 hospitalisations and 61% of alleged Covid-19 cases from September 25th through to October 22nd.

    The Covid-19 Statistical Report is a weekly report on Covid-19 data published by Public Health Scotland, and the latest update published October 27th confirms that things are getting worse for the fully vaccinated population by the week whilst things improve for the not-vaccinated population.

    The fact that the fully vaccinated now account for the majority of Covid-19 cases is extremely concerning in regards to the effectiveness of the Covid-19 injections, because up until recently, children; who are not eligibe for vaccination, have accounted for the vast majority of cases.

    Further questions on the effectiveness of the jabs also need to be asked due to the fact Covid-19 hospitalisations and deaths are rising among the fully vaccinated population by the week whilst hospitalisations and deaths among the not-vaccinated population continue to decline.

    • “EXCLUSIVE – 85% of Covid-19 Deaths & 75% of Hospitalisations were among the Fully Vaccinated in the last month according to the latest Public Health data…”

      I have an explanation. Let’s say that ALL of your elderly and people with co-morbidities are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. We know that this segment of the population are at the greatest risk. Let’s say that even with the vaccination they are 6 times more likely to die of the virus than healthy (but unvaccinated) people.

      That would explain the figures.

    • Spot on, Alice!
      I hate to think it, but yes, it may well be “all about establishing a system of totalitarian control.” First the vaccine passports, then, once these have become established as a database, they add in the “digital wallet” in which our access to the “one-world currency” is centrally controlled. Seems to be already happening in India, according to the Zero hedge link that I put up here yesterday. And China makes no secret of the fact that it is working towards a digital yuan. Those two countries alone account for a fair chunk of the World population.

      My guess is that all this will come to pass soon after the US economy and the US$ go “belly up.”

      However, in all honesty, I’ve been telling my kids for 20 years now that the US economy is doomed . . . .and it still hasn’t happened.

      So there you go.

  13. Jacinda Ardern walks into a bar, but she is invisible. After attracting the barman’s attention, the barman says “Ok, I’ll bite. Why are you invisible?”

    Ardern says “Well, I found a bottle on the beach and…then I rubbed it.” “And then…importantly…A genie came out.” “The genie said I could have…3 wishes.”

    For my first wish, I said “Let me say this, and this is profoundly important…I want Clarke to marry me…I love him and I think Aotearoa will love him too.” That wish was granted.

    For my second wish, I said “Like all patriotic Kiwis, I am deeply patriotic…and I want to be Prime Minister of NZ so I can serve my country.” That wish was granted too.

    Yale academic trashes Ardern’s management of Covid19 epidemic
    by Redbaiter

    During the Covid19 saga Jacinda Ardern’s government has seriously and repeatedly proclaimed itself the only trustworthy source of facts and creditable opinion. The video below proves this claim to be a complete and utter falsity.

    Worse, its agents in media and academia have viciously attacked any person who attempted to express any information or opinion that challenged the government’s message. Standard procedure has been to write such sources off as invalid because they lack the correct qualifications or because they are part of some group the govt doesn’t like.

    Mark Levin has been a broadcaster (in the US) for three decades and has a daily audience of around 10 million listeners. He has written numerous books on the left, and his latest best seller, “American Marxism” is a valuable read. He also has a weekly show on FOX News entitled “Life Liberty and Levin”.

    Last weekend Mr Levin interviewed Dr. Harvey Risch, professor of epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine.

    There is no way the Ardern govt and or its sickening fake media acolytes could write this eminent Professor off as unqualified or some kind of fringe nutter. He teaches medicine at one of the most respected universities in the world.

    An edited (7 minute) video of Dr Risch’s appearance on the show is below. Here are the bullet points from the discussion that totally destroy the credibility of the Ardern govt and its vile media apparatchiks-

    Kids should not be vaccinated. The risk of adverse reaction is higher than the risk of them catching the disease
    The rates of illness and deaths of children are too low to support mass mandated vaccination
    “Noble lying” to the people by govts, justified by a spurious duty of care claim, is not good governance
    People should not have to be vaccinated as a condition of employment. Ninety academic studies have shown that the natural immunity is the most effective counter measure and vaccinations of people who have had the virus only put them at further risk.
    People who have had the virus have no need to be vaccinated for the public health. The claim that people who have had the virus still need to be vaccinated is a “big lie” probably driven by the pharmaceutical companies who have played goverments for fools
    Everything that comes from government sources is targeted on selling vaccines,including the suppression of methods aimed at early treatment
    Government decisions are being made in a very close “conflict of interest” circle of people who are heavily influenced by big pharma. More independent specialists and academics need to be consulted
    Around 80% of deaths could have been avoided through early treatment with established medicines by community doctors rather than mass vaccinations.
    Many government health advisors also sit on the boards of the companies manufacturing and marketing the vaccines

    So this is the shaky scenario Jacinda and her media/ academic acolytes want us to buy into and fulsomely believe in. You’d have to be insane, or a socialist, but I repeat myself.

    The way that Covid19 should have been dealt with is by individuals consulting their doctors and taking whatever measures the doctor recommended. Doctors need to be fully informed on the issue and not soaked with material from big pharma designed to boost sales of the vaccine.

    Bottom line is that if Professor Risch’s views are to be believed Ardern’s anti-Covid policies have been an unwarranted disaster. People have lost their businesses and livelihood and been sacked from their jobs for no good reason. New Zealand’s fast dwindling productive sector now bears a debt burden exceeding a $100 billion dollars.

    Only in a corrupt third world dictatorship should such an event normally occur, but during 2019 to the current date it happened in New Zealand. Think about that readers, and what it means about where NZ is today.

      An interesting read; Thank you.

      I did however notice the following sentence: ‘The way that Covid19 should have been dealt with is by individuals consulting their doctors and taking whatever measures the doctor recommended’,

      Based on personal experience (As previously reported on this site), I have to ask: ‘If the Doctor is an enthusiast for ‘the ‘jab’ and I am not (For valid, verifiable reasons), what happens then?

      Another Doctor perhaps, but if there ARE no others and the individual-concerned has been the family medico for decades, what then?

      No doubt there will be others in a similar position, but to date, this is an area which appears to have received little attention.

    • Picking up on Komata’s 9:20 am. comment.

      Same problem here, as all trust went out the window.
      What I thought was a good thorough Doc of the medical center.
      Even if the discussion 1 -> way, was polite, he did not do his job, as none of the routine checks were done.

      Is there a way for some Un-jabbering Doctors, nurses, be helped to set up another medical centre, a wing of a hospital, a birthing suite, open up a building.
      Lease some rooms.
      We must also be prepared to put some money, time, thoughts and more to support into it?

      I know the Medical Autocracy Cult, would react to disbar, defrock, but still can we in a way of support, and for our needs push that this can be done, even if it can be surreptitiously to start, and known it will have to go “underground”.

  17. Stuffed breaking news.
    The Prime Minister Ms Stabcinda Adhan today announced new Government policy to solve the housing crisis. To reduce housing demand it has been decided that all male adults over the age of 10 will be required to have one testicle removed. This will slow population growth and mean that eventually we will have enough houses for everyone Ms Adhan said.
    When it was pointed out that men could still father children with only one testicle Ms Adhan assured the public that the Government had taken advice from experts and were assured that 50% less testicles would mean 50% less babies. Any denial of the science was just a right wing conspiracy.
    Asked why the government didn’t just build more houses Ms Adhan she replied that they had already tried that and it can’t be done.
    Asked whether this policy was an abuse of basic human rights Ms Adhan said that the policy was for the public good and her government was very experienced at passing legislation to overcome this problem. Just look what we did with the Covid legislation she said smiling broadly.
    One rather cheeky reporter suggested that there was a rumour that this law was nothing to do with birth rates but was just an attempt by Ms Adhan to put a stop to her fiances tom catting before the upcoming wedding. Ms Adhan took the question in her stride and informed the reporter in no uncertain terms that following advice from a second rate American actress married to a Prince she had already removed his testicles and now carried them around in her hand bag for luck so there was no truth to this rumour.
    After a generous donation Stuffed has decided to start a new column “The whole truth about testicles” to support the government in their valiant effort to solve the housing crisis. Judging by the compliance with the mask mandate and vax rollout most men won’t even notice the loss of a testicle.

      • Ed…..you can extend your vocabulary…..
        “Hitler Has Only Got One Ball”, sometimes known as “The River Kwai March”, is a World War II British song whose lyrics, sung to the tune of the popular World War I-era “Colonel Bogey March”, mocks the masculinity of Nazi leaders by alleging they had missing, deformed, or undersized testicles. Multiple variant lyrics exist, but the most common version references rumors that Adolf Hitler had monorchism (“one ball”), and accuses Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler of microorchidism (“two but very small”) and Joseph Goebbels of anorchia (“no balls at all”). An alternate version popular in Britain suggests Hitler’s missing testicle is displayed as a war trophy in Royal Albert Hall.

  18. NO Christmas travel. Aucklanders don’t even pay attention to real traffic lights!

    COVID-19: Decision not yet made on if Aucklanders can leave city for Christmas, David Parker says

    “It is true that those decisions have not yet been taken but they will need to be taken before Christmas. I am not saying what the answer will be. But by then we will be into the traffic light system.”

    Bridge asked if that meant that even if the rest of the country wasn’t at the traffic light system, Aucklanders would be able to leave.

    Bridges, the Tauranga MP and former National leader, said the traffic light system was a “traffic light shambles”

    • A quick look on the net suggests that there are about 30,000 people queuing for an MIQ spot. Most will be returnees who have deigned to swap the streets paved with gold in far off lands for the relative safety of life in NZ. They will include singles & families so let’s settle on a figure of 2.5 per household.

      They’ll then be searching for 12,000 houses to rent or buy, mostly in Auckland. Thanks to the pack of gross masturbators & no-hopers who have been mismanaging NZ Inc for the past four years there are no new homes, no sections to put them on, no-one to build them & materials are in short supply.

      Jacinda & Co would rather put up with stories of difficulty in accessing MIQ facilities than fend off questions about housing that isn’t there.

    • Cap

      Labour are like those publicly listed, gone in a flash technology companies, or investment scams that implode, and you find out that they spent 95% of revenue on marketing and PR, and 5% on delivery.

      The higher the % of PR and marketing, the less funds available for actual delivering.

      Which is why they have 100% failure of every single promise, whether factual, implied, or expected.

      In this years budget they created a fund, nearly $1Bn, for Robertson’s personal “implementation” fund, to manage the things that Ardern is responsible for managing, but she can’t because she doesn’t know how.

      What was produced with this $1Bn? Nothing.

    • DON’T MESS UP WITH AUNTY KAREN Mrs Rissole

      The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment. “Get your parents to tell you a true life story with a moral at the end of it”, she said.

      The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.

      Nancy said, “My father is a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup, when we hit a bump in the road, all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess.”

      “And what’s the moral of the story?” asked the teacher.
      “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!”
      “Very good,” said the teacher.

      Next little Jane raised her hand and said, “Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks and the moral to this story is, don’t count your chickens until they’re hatched.”
      “That was a fine story Jane,” said the teacher.

      Oh no, here’s little Johnny with his hand up.
      “Johnny, do you have a story to share?”

      “Yes, ma’am, my daddy told me this story about my Aunty Karen.
      Aunty Karen was a flight engineer in Desert Storm and her plane got hit.
      She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn’t break and then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets, then she killed twenty more with the machete till the blade broke and then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.”

      “Good heavens,” said the horrified teacher, “what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?”

      “Don’t mess up with Aunty Karen when she’s been drinking.”

    Trucking companies say a vaccine mandate at regional borders would be a problem because they are already struggling with a driver shortage and fragile supply chain.
    https://www.1news.co.nz/2021/10/28/truckies-push-back-at-mandatory-jabs-to-cross-borders-idea/

    Transporting forum chief executive Nick Leggett said the sector could not afford to take unvaccinated drivers off the road.

    “We have a shortage of drivers and a shortage of people in the overall freight industry. We’ve got issues with ships being able to call at our ports,” he said.

    “We are compromised and a compulsory vaccine requirement at borders I think would cause significant disruption and slow our economy even further at a time when we can’t afford it.”

    • I know that the fuel companies are prioritizing to the bigger centres.

      Some small out gas stations have had 2 days of non delivery, but enough of a flow to the next bigger centre.

      If one any fuel hic-cup limits fuel at one those provincial centres, and word gets out, the toilet roll stampede will be dwarfed to what trucks can take. agriculture tractors, a few 44 gallon drums.
      They need fuel for putting in the crops at this stage, trucking live stock, off their farms, etc… just to keep a factory going with raw materials.

    Poland on Wednesday was ordered to pay 1 million euros ($1.16 million) for every day it fails to comply with a ruling from the EU’s top court, in the latest flare-up of tensions between Warsaw and Brussels.

    The European Court of Justice ruled in July that the Polish government should suspend the activity of its own Supreme Court, with the team of judges in Poland seen as lacking true independence.

    But Poland has since ignored the ruling. And so the European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, asked the ECJ in September to issue financial penalties to Warsaw.

      The EU DON’T know the Poles very well if they think they can enforce that sort of nonsense, and if trey try to, it will be a case of ‘Poland for the POLES’!!

      They also WON’T join the Russians: Five Centuries of Russian control have given the Poles a certain dislike for that country, especially as the most recent ‘occupation’ ended only a few years ago.

      Poland will always be for the Poles, especially as the EU is seen as being controlled by THE GERMANS, another group for whom the Poles have an unsurprising dislike…

  25. From Slater’s blog just now:

    “It was mentioned the other day that the police probably monitor this site. I really hope they do. There are police in Australia who are throwing in the towel because they can’t stand what they’re being asked to do. If we continue to fight this authoritairian government with the only weapons we have, namely, our words, and the words of those doctors and scientists who understand what is happening, we might bring it home to our own police that a totalitairian government will bring nothing but misery to themselves and their families, especially their children, in the years ahead. It doesn’t scare me that the police read our posts. It’s Ardern who should be scared.”

    But they must have a great, talented team behind them. I got onto to their telegram channel a few weeks ago and I am amazed at the professionalism, volume of content and generally massively high standards.

    They put all our political parties to shame, in terms of connecting to people and giving out information. They make them look like young school kids and I assume their budget is tiny compared to political parties.

While obviously there are many others involved now the creativity of the founding ladies was obvious even then. I have no inside information but I would be surprised if the ladies were not fully involved in the marketing material produced.

    An Auckland pie shop’s controversial social media post comparing the vaccine mandate to apartheid has grabbed attention, but there’s a warning it could cause lasting reputational damage for the business.

    The post on The Pie Shop’s Facebook page read: “The Pie Shop says, no to apartheid, no to discrimination. We welcome all New Zealanders.”

    The post gathered more than 500 comments and 600 reactions, with many shocked at the comparison of vaccination with apartheid, a system of legislation that upheld segregationist policies against non-white citizens of South Africa.

    European Parliament will require COVID passport for entry – lawmakers unhappy

    Premises in Brussels, Strasbourg and Luxembourg will require an EU Digital Covid certificate from 3 November, according to an email obtained by Politico.

    The decision was taken by secretary-general, Klaus Welle, after a majority of the chamber’s vice presidents voted in favor. The move has left a number of MEPs angry, saying it undermines their fundamental rights.

    “To our knowledge, the European Parliament would be the first in Europe to implement such a measure,” a group of MEPs. (Including François-Xavier Bellamy from the EPP, Michèle Rivasi from the Greens, Virginie Joron from the Identity and Democracy group and Anne-Sophie Pelletier from The Left).

    “This would breach a very fundamental principle in a democratic house: never should an elected representative, having fulfilled all legal obligations, be prevented from entering the Parliament,” the MEPs added.

    A taste of being a regular Joe?

  36. Vaccinated People Easily Transmit COVID-19 Delta Variant in Households: UK Study
    By Jack Phillips
    October 28, 2021 Updated: October 28, 2021
    biggersmaller Print

    The Delta COVID-19 variant can easily transmit from vaccinated people to their household members, said a recent UK study, although its researchers concluded that vaccinations and boosters are the way forward.

    A year-long study from the Imperial College London published in The Lancet on Thursday found that the Delta variant is still highly transmissible within a vaccinated population.

    “By carrying out repeated and frequent sampling from contacts of COVID-19 cases, we found that vaccinated people can contract and pass on infection within households, including to vaccinated household members,” Dr. Anika Singanayagam, co-lead author of the study, said in a statement.

    The findings, Singanayagam added, provide some insight into why the Delta variant is “continuing to cause high COVID-19 case numbers … even in countries with high vaccination rates.”

    An analysis found that the viral load declined most rapidly for those who were vaccinated with the Delta variant compared with those who are unvaccinated, according to the researchers.

    Steve Templeton, an immunologist with Indiana University’s school of medicine, wrote that “the key to ending the pandemic has always been the immune system.”

    “The fact that so many have recovered from infection and that robust, durable, and protective immunity in those individuals has been unequivocally proven should be considered a good thing,” he said in an article dated Oct. 22, adding that “there appears to be a drive to cancel the term ‘natural immunity,’ a pretense that the vaccinated need fear the unvaccinated, and an unwillingness to treat the public as adults that can handle nuanced information and make decisions regarding their health.”
