Oh but according to her idiotic followers, Gunn is a "truth seeker". Just don't dare challenge anything she says 🙄

Edit; looks like they were able to contact her in the end: On Sunday, Gunn said she was in Auckland Hospital receiving an x-ray. She did not confirm if this was related to the arrest, nor did she answer questions on the airport incident. Gunn disputed the account of what happened, but did not provide further details.

Funny how she only wants to share half of the story when it suits her. I'm a little reminded of Prince Harry and what he's done lately - desperate for privacy, but then does a tell-all book tour, and wonders why he can't be left alone now? There's parallels here, IMO.

Not sure if I'll go get the booster. I've had Covid three times since March last year. First time was the worst, but only a day or two on the couch.

Second time, same symptoms, but only for a day. Third time (November), I only tested as I had a slight headache, but I was due to go and visit my parents the coming weekend so tested and it was positive. I had no symptoms the next three days that I tested positive, and I tested negative on the fourth day.

My wife is part of a drug trial at the moment for a combined flu/covid vaccine - not mRNA based. Everyone in the trial gets the vaccine, just the ratio of the flu:covid vaccines are changed. Both vaccines are approved for use in NZ, so I suspect if not this winter, then next our flu jabs will also be covid jabs.

The radio campaign for boosters has restarted. Reminding of waning and to check eligibility etc that went quiet a while ago.

Presumably following now the scope has widend again.

4 and a half days of feeling crap after several positive cases at work and me barely going anywhere else and not a positive test over the whole period. I think the tests are just not doing it.

I got a very weak positive about 24 hours after symptoms started. I guess the nature of antigen tests is that they are a bit laggy.

The government should probably be doing a better job of reminding people to stay home for a day or two after symptom onset, and then test.

Followup - I'm inclined to think she's being a bit economical with the truth here:

So Gunn is OK with being Irradiated ?
Medical Science is suddenly good, a Radiologist she can trust, but not a Virologist or Vaccinologist.

A few people in richer countries throwing spare change at her, is probably a good income in NZ.
Its a kind of performance theatre, constructing conflict to feed the audience.

If you look up the madness of Sovereign Citizens, it seems to be quite similar.
Constantly filming evidence showing their illegal actions, arguments with Police to be used in evidence against them.
Crazy thing is none of their 'secret' tricks work, but they keep doing it again and again.
Maybe the sponsorships and donations outpace the fines, though in USA they quickly move to serious jail time.

I had 3 jabs, got covid recently. Felt well throughout. Not sure I’ll get the booster as I’m not worried about going to hospital anymore and basically infection is like a booster anyway. Plus I now have hybrid immunity. Omicron is less severe for most, that funny kids syndrome MISC and long covid appear to be less too. So apart from my antibody levels going up which will happen with either vaccination or infection, I’m not seeing the benefit to being boosted? For those at risk of landing in hospital I think it’s worth it but that’s not me. I’m not eligible for 6 months now anyway so I don’t have to think about it until then but I’m not swayed at the moment whereas the first 3 jabs I was keen to get.

My wife tested positive 3 weeks ago after her parents brought it with them when they came to visit. I showed all of the symptoms I had the first time around only milder but tested negative everyday. Seems a bit of a stretch to think I had 4 false negatives so i either had it with antibody levels that were too low to detect or it was just a coincidence that I had something with similar symptoms. To be safe I stayed home until after her isolation period ended.

"truth seeker" = trying to find evidenc3e to support he opinion while ignoring everything against it.

She is just as useless to society as a flat earther.

Saw a friday F*wit holding a sign "Truth does not fear research", they obviously had no idea that the research comes first to find the truth.

EVERYTHING is their life comes from Scientific research, science is a methodology to be as right as often as you can and wrong the least you can, and it encourages revision as new evidence is found.

It seems normal to be symptomatic for 3 or even 4 days before finally getting a positive RAT just as you are starting to feel better. Unfortunately the RAT tests seem a bit useless.

My last RAT test was on her Day 8 (release day!). By that time I was ~3-4 days into my symptoms and still testing negative.

Finally getting MRI/CT scans for cancer 18 months after an operation in 2020 to remove a cancerous lymph node, and getting a good result -- Priceless.
Bloody COVID.
