You can't make this stuff up! Protesters who refuse to wear masks are exhibiting Covid symptoms but insist it can't be Covid, instead blaming mysterious government radiation. Well d'oh!

This has become an event worthy of a satirical news site.

Stuff had an article up with this sign this morning:

Wellington protesters seen wearing tin foil hats at Parliament | Stuff.co.nz

Not the first time we have seen it either...

Meep Mama on Twitter: "Does that sign really say "Make Influenza Great Again" or do my eyes need checking?" / Twitter

I just can't get it through my head how someone would think that is a good idea to put that on a sign... It's outright pro disease, and plays of a political slogan from another country...

Stuff links to twitter account displaying the below image:

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/300527308/wellington-protesters-fear-secret-tech-weapons-at-parliament

Seems to comical to be true...

And to think those stupid tin hat wearing women are allowed to bring up children.

Bloody funny to look at, though!!

There was some speculation that some were taking the piss but I bet there were many who thought they were getting some sort of protection. Sadly they are allowed to breed and vote.

Not the parliament protest but an aligned protest. There's some people who have seriously lost the plot with all their conspiracy ideas when you read the the sign at this protest site. https://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/news/127897878/protesters-occupy-land-near-new-plymouth-coastal-walkway

Why do those clowns always have the NZ flag upside down? I don't get it.

My guess is to cause offense. This from the Te Ara website https://teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/33990/upside-down-flag

An upside-down flag is usually intended to cause offence, and has also been used as a distress signal.

They might be claiming distress but I rather think it's the other option, especially when you read the claims and aims on their notice board. There is nothing about these people that invites rational discussion. The scary thing is they are radicalising "innocent" (for want of a better term) gullible people

Maybe they are just too dumb to know which way is up.

Quite probably but that doesn't stop them joining in and "taking action" making up numbers and giving those promoting anarchy more numbers to make their cause look more popular than it should be.

Oh great, I hope this isn't another stupid tent city.

Seriously, this crap just makes me so angry 😠 that march across the bridge yesterday was embarrassing, and sure as hell didn't change the mind of anyone I know.

Auckland Domain is now closed to vehicles. For those of you who don't know Auckland - the domain is right next to Auckland Hospital. Not good. I really hope there are no issues with vehicles and hospital access. Plenty of other places to park so this will not happen unless they are total total idiots. No doubt police and Auckland towies will act swiftly if that becomes an issue.

I hope they're not allowed just to setup camp.

I can also see where this guy is coming from - if I was him I'd be rightly upset as well: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/02/auckland-pride-march-organiser-frustrated-by-covid-anti-mandate-protesters-flagrant-disregard-to-keep-people-safe.html

He follows all the rules and permits for the Gay Pride Parade, spends a lot of money doing so, does everything by the book. Tamaki and co just rock up to the bridge, "we're crossing, like it or lump it". No one lifts a finger to stop him and his mob and away they go.

How is that fair?

Also - how does this work? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-omicron-outbreak-parliament-protest-police-concerned-for-deteriorating-conditions-at-parliament/ELXR5EZVG436FF43XL35WSTWSE/

How can they access the Parliamentary wastewater system?

And addendum: https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/wellington/127900687/occupation-latest-three-protesters-in-hospital-with-covid-sewage-down-city-drains

It is day 20 of the occupation of Parliament and surrounding streets.
Seven protesters confirmed with Covid-19, three in hospital. - what happens if (and I don't wish this on anyone) they were to die of the disease? Would it be "hell, we should probably get that vaccine!" or would it be "oh, this was a setup by the Government" or "this is caused by 5G" or "Jacinda did this"??? I mean, really...will they continue to ignore the facts and just continue to make up their own little narrative, like they have so far?
Plumbing has been installed to flush sewage into Wellington’s pipe network. - again, how were they able to do this?
Church leader Brian Tamaki offered as negotiator. - LOL as if anyone would seriously want to talk to that clown, who just wants mandates to end on some date he plucked out of thin air. I'd tell him to take running jump.
