The Prime Minister and her Health Minister are constantly telling us that they are our one source of truth. That when they speak from the podium of truth, it is right and we can believe them.
It’s nonsense of course.
And so it has proven yet again. Again it was Chris Hipkins speaking mistruths.
On top of that, yesterday morning Chris Hipkins was singling out members of the church for some public embarrassment and Police action.
Clearly the Government is looking to sheet home the blame for ongoing infections on some of the so-called team of five million, rather than acknowledging that their incompetence at the border let the plague back in.
We’ve also seen blame-mongering from Labour-aligned public health officials. It certainly looks like the “team of five million” slogan is out the window as the luvvies move to protect the COVID Queen:
Then there was this from Dr Siouxsie Wiles, who assists Labour with their fundraising.
“The reality is that we have a current government that has a strategy and we have a pandemic that is raging overseas and there is no guarantee that a different government would stick with the same strategy.”
She has decided to use her new found fame to blatantly politick against a change of government. She’s an academic, not a politician.
But there is clearly a move on, of which she is a part, to silence dissenting voices when it comes to alternative strategies for dealing with the Chinese plague. She and Shaun Hendy have both been pushing Hendy’s shame list where they even label other academics with different ideas, like the Plan B people, as conspiracy theorists.
There is a real push for us to all comply with their thinking and strategy. No alternative must be tolerated, which is the antithesis of the scientific method.
It is becoming more and more obvious that the wheels on the strategy are coming off. It shouldn’t really be a surprise, after the stuff-ups of Kiwibuild, light rail and child poverty, that the COVID strategy is similarly flawed and destined to fail.
The problem is though, when your sole strategy relies on meek compliance with harsh lockdowns and you keep stuffing up and financially destroying the economy through your strategy, the compliance gets less and less the more pain we suffer.
Which is why we are having the false war of Level 2 and Level 2.5, cajoling people into compliance with mask wearing by using fear. It can’t continue, mainly because sensible people start asking inconvenient questions, like why are you mandating mask wearing in Level 2 when you never did under level four?
We now have more people in the community with the plague than when the first lockdown occurred. It doesn’t add up and it doesn’t make sense.
The only people who now want lockdowns are basically those employed by the state or councils, who haven’t suffered the loss of a single dollar, let alone their entire income or business.
All those telling us to take the medicine of lockdowns aren’t the ones having to swallow it. I’ll bet their enthusiasm for lockdowns would dissipate rather quickly if they lost 10% of their salary for each week we have to spend locked down.
Expect the rhetoric against alternative views to escalate. They must protect the strategy and the COVID Queen at all costs.
