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

Posted on 11/22/2021 8:27:29 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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."

Some folks forget that there are still monarchies around and folks living in countries like that go to entirely different Civics classes in their high schools...

They “allow” people more freedom.

That is so great when the massahs give their slaves some freedom!

Don’t forget to get your boosters every six months—they protect you from those evil magic spells!

My ‘attitude’ becomes relevant when Branch Covidians shun me, castigate me, try to ostracize me, try to use Government to control me or my status, try to convince others that I am the cause for “break throughs.”

You are correct. It IS MY CHOICE and it isn’t up to you to decide, despite whether you or whoever in your family was lucky enough to survive a hastily approved concoction. Your definition of ‘kindness’ STOPS with undue influence and consequences of my own personal health decisions.

Because it is such simple reason, I can’t believe you are not aware of it. The vaccine did NOT build a valve in my nose to prevent virus material floating in.

Unvaxxed people are more likely to get serious symptoms and exude larger loads of virus material. I know my vaccination has created extra anti-bodies to fight covid when virus floats into my lungs. So I can get infected but odds are much better my body will kill the virus before it makes me seriously sick.
But I do not wish to be even slightly infected from unvaxxed people.

Full report of my next cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas coming up shortly. We sail on coming Monday. On the previous cruise last September, the covid protocols on ship were exemplary. Much better than any land restaurant, movie theater or live music venue.

As I have posted umpteenth times, I am against any mandates regarding health related issues. But let those who wish to get vaxxed get it done without fear porn being constantly thrown at them. We should all be able to choose without subjected to fear porn from either side.

I am no “mazza”. Just an ordinary citizen, law abiding, and never received a penny in welfare during my 61 years in USA.

Thomas Jefferson to Francis W. Gilmer, 7 June 1816

...our legislators are not sufficiently apprised of the rightful limits of their powers: that their true office is to declare and enforce only our natural rights and duties, & to take none of them from us....

We are born free. Our rights do not come from government. That's true of all men, no matter what their government dictate.

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 seems be some misinterpretation of what you are trying to say. I know that you are actually showing your true concern for others despite the way it is being interpreted by some. Let me translate for others here who are having difficulty. What Entropy12 is really saying:

The jabs have helped me become an asymptomatic super spreader emitting 251 times the amount of viral particulate than my unvaxxed associates. I will board a Royal Caribbean ship this coming Monday for my 2nd super spreader cruise in 2 months. Thank God unvaxxed people are not allowed to enter the ship because they would most certainly become seriously ill after being exposed to people in enclosed spaces emitting huge amounts of viral particulate. Having previously been afflicted by syphilis and leprosy I found that cruises which only allowed the afflicted... to be a great comfort. Bless you all.

I have been goign wherever I want doing whatever I want since last May.

Did not realize I couldn’t board a cruise ship-—never had a desire to get on one of those overcrowded barges and eat garbage

“All non-vaxxed, enjoy your basement.”

That applied previously, and still some instances, to Let’s Go Brandon! Other than that, they walk freely among you unclean jabbers.

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


That’s the same question I asked a close family member who refuses to meet for the holidays.

When I said it, they paused for a second, and then said, “well, you just should.”

So many people trying to look out for me.

As much as I have previously objected to your position (and sometimes, remarks) on this, I agree with you on the statement you just made. Stay healthy and prosperous, FReeper!

People here in Georgia have been living their lives for a very long time. We are vaccinated, but we don’t fear the un-vaccinated nor really give a crap on their status. You either believe in your vaccine and therefore don’t care what your neighbor has done, or you don’t and you are the one living your life in fear. The un-vaccinated I know have never been treating this thing with fear nor hiding anywhere, regardless how the doom port media and government desire it. So sure be proud you can be with other like minded freedom killing folks on the gluttony cruise.
