This person.

He's definitely right about one thing. "Two Shots for F*** All" is right on the money. Better that than "No Shots for Full Blown Covid". I'll take the "F*** All" option please.

EDIT: It's possible to post a picture with the work F*** but it's impossible to use that word in your reply.

EDIT 2: Where's the "Ban 1080" or "F*** 1080" sticker? His collection isn't complete.

Also Kayleigh what's-her-face? Miss "I will never lie to you", only to promptly turn around and lie to the American public.
Really, that person isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

People like this disgust me.

First she's talking to an alt-right online channel. She's spouting the same crazy stuff American alt-right and QAnon do: there is no covid, she's sick because someone contaminated the convoy site, the current government didn't win the elections, the PM is the worst thing that ever happened to New Zealand, the current government needs to be taken down. And excuse me, this cough is terrible but it's not covid...

These people have been manipulated and are, again, useful idiots.

I hate to say this, but maybe, just maybe, if she got really sick from it she might change her "there is no such thing..." swansong.

She's never working in the media ever again - she's damaged goods now, and Youtube videos are the best she can hope for.

Good God.

The OWS and John Key years saw some good old fashioned anti-semitism and some nutbars on an individual level, but not to the extent so many would feel so comfortable driving around with something like that on their cars at all times.

I am seriously concerned that we will see this stuff on a much more organised, much larger scale come 2023 election time.

Really? So John Key promoted anti-semitism?

Your left leaning person as evidenced by the actions around the world practises anti-semitism way more

I don't think he said JK promoted anti-semitism. He used it as a marker for an era.

Not promoted it, was subjected to it - even though he himself isn't Jewish, but still has Jewish ancestry. It was pretty distasteful stuff.

Sorry that wasn't clearer.

Podcast on Spotify perhaps?

Still not the same exposure as most of the country watching you read the news every night.

Typical with these anti-vaxxers - "oh, I don't want Pfizer, I want <insert random drug name here> instead."

Random vaccination becomes available: "oh I don't want to get it now, but everyone supports me not getting it."

Really? 90% support? She must only be speaking to people that like her.

Or she's just being shunned by anyone with half a brain. Self-selection sometimes works in reverse.

Almost certainly is only talking to people like herself.

Got told by a family member who isn't vaccinated and most of their acquaintances aren't either about all the adverse reactions from the vaccine, which was in total contrast to my experience where pretty well all of my acquaintances are vaccinated with almost no reported adverse reactions.

I pointed out this glaring anomaly where someone who knew very few vaccinated people knew of so many adverse reactions yet someone who knew a lot of vaccinated people knew of very few adverse reactions. How could that possibly be? No answer to that!!!!!!! Bias confirmation at it's very best.

Yes, funny how the antivaxxers usually go quiet when presented with hardcore evidence refuting what they believe. Either that, or "oh that's just what the mainstream media wants you to believe" - as opposed to some self-professed "expert" on Facebook they follow, who knows everything about everything 🙄
