Presumably an effort to appease New Zealand’s anti-vax malcontents, Government is now considering offering incentive to the remaining unvaccinated.
In New Zealand the COVID vaccine is cost-free thus has no disincentive and surely, the incentive, in which the vaccinated 80-or-so percent have been revelling now for months, is increased likelihood of continued good health.
Uncertainty surrounding the stability, credibility, also efficacy, of the vaccine is preventing a minority from accepting it; odd, given that anyone who is not dead must be aware that, since the COVID-19 vaccine was pervaded throughout the world (admittedly, causing harm to an unfortunate few), people have basically given up on ‘suppression’ of the virus.
New Zealand Government’s most overused idiom, new ‘cases of COVID’ have never been higher than they are now so, yeah, we are relaxing restrictions because, that’s right, most people don’t care because they are vaccinated.
Most people did not waste time holding out to be tangibly rewarded for simply being looked after because, well, most people are not dicks.
A common anti-vax protester slogan – ‘Keep Your Hands Off Our Kids!’
Great, but we’re not worried so much about your kids, it’s you, the negligent parent, who needs vaccination, not your kids; hell, leave your kids at home, well away from Government hands, for all we care, it is you who is threatening our country’s prosperity.
Regarding prospective incentive, piquing interest was $100 in further cash pay-outs, also electronics because, you know, can’t put a price on life and all that.
Realistically, most of these people are dickheads; I know their kind, too, contrary for the sake of being different, causing a problem just so they can feel important.
I am done with this; these shitheads don’t want to get onboard with the rest of their nation, they’re willing to die for their cause, whatever – Government, fabricate a legal document, supplanting all that Hypocritic Oath bullshit, have these idiots sign it, fine, if they contract COVID-19, they can deal with the virus’s full extent, they can do it devoid of hospital care, so New Zealand can go forward – preferably without its populous of malcontents.
Over 18 months now, I have been estranged from the life I was building for myself in Asia; seriously, by year’s end, if we have not progressed as a nation, if we are not past this pointless talk of ‘lockdowns’ and imaginary ‘border control’ with some impending ‘traffic-light’ system, you better believe, I’m going to come out whooping some anti-vax butt.
Look at the bigger picture; see the world, not just yourself.
