New Zealand Axes Vaccine Passports and Mandates Claiming Herd Immunity

Vaccine passports for domestic purposes are being axed in New Zealand, with mandates being removed in almost all industries, though not health and social care. Sky News has more.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the changes on Wednesday as she unveiled the country’s post-Omicron peak plan. 

Ms Ardern said cases had decreased significantly in Auckland, with a decline expected across the nation by early April. 

She added there had been more than 500,000 reported cases of COVID-19 in the country of five million, although “expert modellers say there have probably been 1.7 million actual infections”.

“That figure, coupled with 95% of New Zealanders being fully vaccinated, means we now have a high level of collective immunity,” Ms Ardern said. 

“New Zealanders have worked incredibly hard to get through this pandemic and as a result of those efforts we are now in a position to move forward and change the way we do things.

“First up we have simplified the COVID-19 Protection Framework to target restrictions at those activities that reduce transmission the most.”

As part of the sweeping changes, New Zealanders will no longer have to prove they are vaccinated to enter venues covered under My Vaccine Pass from early next month.  

“From April 4th, My Vaccine Pass will no longer be required by the Government meaning Kiwis will no longer have to be vaccinated in order to enter those venues covered by the Pass,” Ms Ardern said.

“Scanning in requirements for the vaccinated will also end. We recognise that some businesses, events or venues may still choose to use vaccine passes, so we will maintain the infrastructure for them.”

Changes to the vaccine mandates – which had sparked protests outside parliament in Wellington – will come into effect from the same date, with only some workforces still required to be vaccinated. 

“From April 4th, vaccine mandates will be removed, except for health and disability, aged care, corrections and border workforces,” Ms Ardern said. 

“Like many other countries we are retaining a small number of mandates targeted at keeping our COVID-19 frontline staff safe and to ensure our most vulnerable, like those in aged care facilities or those with disabilities, are protected from the virus. 

Baby steps from the Toothy Tyrant.

Sadly this is lockstep with all countries allowing a ‘bit of freedom’. Maintaining the infrastructure of the covid passes and allowing venues to use them is the globalists last gasp at maintaining their grip on the populace. Scrap it all and make it illegal to ask for ‘medical papers’ anywhere at anytime.

It’s not the globalist’s ‘last gasp’, it’s merely a short intermission.

The infrastructure has now been put in place for digital IDs, and the sheeple have been acclimatised to QR codes, apps, and flashing their phones for access to ‘stuff’.

Plans B, C, D, ad infinitum, lie in wait.

Decades of planning will have seen to that.

Ukraine is a useful distraction, and excuse for soaring energy prices, inflation, and soon-to-arrive food shortages.

It’s all part of the plan.

They want civil uprising so that they can introduce further emergency powers, thereby ‘legitimising’ further restrictions and, ultimately, martial law.

Trudeau initiated the former, and Zelenskyy has got the jump on the latter.

Both are WEF young leaders.

100% consistent with the establishment narrative.

Vaccines are the solution, if enough people take it (enough is what government says it is) normal life can be resumed. For now. But they are not backing down from the right to mandate it, which is why they keep it for a care workers and the medical profession. After all, your drug pushers (doctors) have to be loyal to the programme.

Government and pharmaceutical companies solved the problem.

CBDCs, I think, has to be the answer. The covid caper has given all western governments insight into how their populations will respond when the money’s turned off and digital currencies are offered up as a solution. That’s currently the only way I can make sense of it. There certainly seems to have been a desire to link digital IDs to vaccine status and this seems to have failed, for obvious reasons. Now they’ve got their data (and a list of potential troublemakers) I suppose we wait for the big enchilada.

Where I depart from these ideas is in the fact that I don’t believe this is being done simply to gain more centralisation/power. They already had that. I think there’s a real economic crash happening in the west and all governments are well aware of this and preparing for a period of mayhem – globally; the dollar/euro aren’t insulated from the rest of this deeply interconnected world. The technocratic digital solution is the one they’ve gone for, and it’s that, or get in your bunkers I reckon. If I had to put (soon to be worthless) money on it, I’d say they are going to fail. It will run away from them before any of their fancy plans can be put into place. A period of chaos beckons. But it’s ok. And even though it’s terrifying, it’s better than the technocratic surveillance hell they seem to believe most of us will accept.

Agree – and bravo Milo.

Pitt the Elder believed that “Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it”. I think that part of what’s happening is a consequence of the mental corruption of absurd amounts of wealth and power that have removed a very small section of the population from the realms of the daily realities of life for most of us. This has led them into what I believe is an over-reach.

We are left with a great problem: the corruption of political life which has seen so many of the world’s political parties at their service, in practical terms – whatever their rhetoric.

An uncontrolled financial collapse can also be very dangerous to the elites (revolution). So they are planning ahead to reduce any risk to themselves. There are two strategies: shifting blame (divide and conquer) and establishing structures that will suppress revolts, preferably before they start (censorship) but in case this fails by violence (law enforcement, military). That’s all.

I generally agree with most of your posts, Huxley cuddly dude, but you are disillusioned here.

Big finance are behind the ‘Great Reset’.

It was highlighted several decades ago that pension requirements would not be met.

Retirement ages, across many Western democracies, have risen, and will continue to rise, beyond life expectancy.

The current generation will never receive a state pension, just a continuation of a universal basic income, dependant on their conformity to WEF regulations.

Change to Scotland vaccination reporting

Public Health Scotland has made changes to vaccine reporting. For the metrics presented by vaccination date for Scotland, local authorities and age breakdowns, people who have died and those who no longer live in Scotland are not included in the counts.

Headline vaccination reporting for Scotland by report date is unchanged, and includes vaccinations given to those who have subsequently moved away from Scotland or died. However, as part of this change in processing, a number of 1st and 2nd dose vaccinations have been removed from the totals.

Can someone else tell me what they think this means? It looks well dodgy to me.

Their case rate over the past month looks more like a country that ran out of testing capacity than one that had some control over cases.

Cases probably are falling in Auckland region — I’d agree with their analysis that there really had been about 1.7 million cases — and a very high proportion of them will have been in greater Auckland (population, 1.5 million).

Covid now appears to be spreading more slowly across the rest of the country.

Obviously ‘The Science’ has changed.

Either that or there is a national election due in October and campaigning will start in just a few months and Gnasher Ardern’s Labor Party is tanking in the polls becaue of her draconian policies.

The following chart is all you need to know about the timing of tyrant lifting one of her boots of the Kiwis’ necks

Is it really 95% fully vaxxed in NZ? That must surely be a world record…Well, outside of Gibraltar anyway. So are we really expected to believe that Omicron evades vax-induced immunity everywhere else but not in NZ then? What utter bollocks. Virus gonna virus biatch! As an aside, I can just imagine her and Turdeau on First Dates. They’d so have a shit-load in common and be a match made in hell.

The recent pictures of him shaking hands with HMQ would also suggest he is a bit of a gnome – she is absolutely tiny and he wasn’t much taller.

Wonder if his shoes have cuban heels – my money is on yes.

Not that there is anything wrong with being vertically challenged (I’m not being heightist or anything) but you get the impression that someone with his levels of vanity would have an issue about it.

No, there are actually some good modellers, believe it or not. Coincidentally (of course) they all model relatively simple(ish) systems like financial markets or insurance risk – the kind of thing that you can feed real life parameters into and test and refine against actual data. Then there are the Ferguson’s of the world, who cobble together horrific antiquated code-bodges, arrogantly modelling systems of unimaginable complexity, and feeding them ludicrously abstract parameters that allow them to create any outcome that their billionaire paymasters demand.

“That figure, coupled with 95% of New Zealanders being fully vaccinated, means we now have a high level of collective immunity,” Ms Ardern said. 

So it is estimated that 35% of the population have been infected despite 95% of the population being ‘fully vaccinated’. I’m not seeing any vaccine induced immunity – what have I missed?

If the “vaccines ” don’t prevent infection and onward transmission just what is the “immunity” she is referring to?

When are you people going to accept that vaccines prevent severe disease and death to a great extent.

And have you read the 9 pages of harmful side effects – 9 sheets of closely typed A4 – that Pfizer KNEW the jabs would cause before they submitted it for FDA approval and wanted kept sealed for 75 years until forced to release them by court order?

You seem keen to deny those facts because they don’t suit whatever your narrative might be.

I can link you to them if you are interested in some objective facts – proven in a court of law.

Ardern says NZ has high levels of immunity (incl “vaccine” immunity). She did not say NZ has high levels of “ vaccine induced protection against bad outcomes”. Regardless, NZ’s data, similar to UK’s data shows that death rates are much higher in the fully vaccinated population. In fact, here the deaths in the pureblooded are so low the government refuses to disclose them. Also, here in NZ the infections rates are lowest than any other cohort in the purebloods. And this is before we start factoring in what the data signals are thousands of “vaccine” deaths and hundreds of thousands of “vaccine” injuries. We do not know what those are because that data is not being collected. But we have data that can be extrapolated from the inadequate “vaccine” injury reporting system, and the increases in death rates, the increases in ambo call outs all which signal a medical disaster here in NZ.

There isn’t any. It is ripping through the jabbed like nobody’s business. And I would imagine that any drop in “cases” would likely be as a result of people using RAT tests at home, rather than going for PCR swabs at a testing station, and simply not dobbing themselves in.
