The Broadcasting Standards Authority did not uphold a complaint about Hilary Barry’s denigration of the unvaccinated as sub-human when she said the unvaccinated were not welcome in her home and they could “jump on a ferry and go to the Auckland Islands for a few years…then when we’ve got rid of COVID…come back”.
Human rights didn’t factor during Covid and, by contrast, in 2023 the BSA protected the feelings of transgenders saying “Trans and non-binary people were vulnerable to harm by being referred to with a name or pronoun that did not accurately reflect their gender” and “found the term ‘people with cervixes’ was accurate and did not denigrate women”.
The BSA are typical of government-funded COVID hysteria and double standards, but why were the unvaccinated targeted if the vaccine actually did what was promised and prevented transmission?
What happened to that doyen of the Imperial College who predicted 80,000 NZ Covid deaths, paving the way for stringent lockdowns, social distancing, masking and vaccine mandates?
By 5 May 2020 Ferguson had resigned from his position as a “key player in developing the British government’s response to COVID-19” but not because of the faulty modelling; Ferguson’s resignation was triggered by his public admission that he’d broken lockdown restrictions to meet his married lover.
COVID hysteria triggered hypocrisy in the one-rule-for-you-but-not-me health experts (we had our own pink-haired health hypocrite) and over 11,000 surreptitious exemptions to the vaccine mandate quietly issued to “health staff” and only acknowledged following an OIA.
The people formulating and enforcing Covid policy refused to comply with their own rules.
UK health experts momentarily toyed with but discounted pursuing natural herd immunity which may have been achieved by letting the virus spread but protecting the elderly and physically vulnerable.
Of course, Western hands were tied by WHO’s advice not to use Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine, both of which being used successfully in combination with other medications.

The current evidence on the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 patients is inconclusive the WHO said in a statement in late March. Until more data is [sic] available, WHO recommends that the drug only be used within clinical trials.
It made perfect sense for the WHO to reject a very inexpensive Nobel prize-winning drug with a prestigious safety track record in favour of the new, very expensive and incompletely tested vaccines and anti-virals.
Following the WHO’s recommendations meant New Zealand would ignore the century-old practice of herd immunity to reduce disease transmission in livestock and in humans prior to the introduction of vaccines in the 1950s and 1960s.
“How did herd immunity enter the language of public health? The phrase seems to have first appeared in the work of American livestock veterinarians concerned about “contagious abortion”—epidemics of spontaneous miscarriage—in cattle and sheep. By the 1910s, it had become the leading contagious threat to cattle in the USA. Farmers destroyed or sold affected cows. Kansas veterinarian George Potter realised that this was the wrong approach. Writing with Adolph Eichhorn in 1916 in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, he envisioned “herd immunity”. As he wrote in 1918, “Abortion disease may be likened to a fire, which, if new fuel is not constantly added, soon dies down. Herd immunity is developed, therefore, by retaining the immune cows, raising the calves, and avoiding the introduction of foreign cattle.”
Thus, New Zealand health experts did not consider natural immunity, choosing an elimination strategy followed by the pursuit of herd immunity through vaccination.
“New Zealand needs to “maintain its elimination strategy” while it works to achieve herd immunity through vaccines, says Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield.”
But Bloomfield should have known at least six months earlier that Neil Ferguson’s Covid modelling was faulty and that predictions of NZ Covid deaths were wildly exaggerated.
On 18 May 2020 Kevin Dayaratna PhD, Chief Statistician, Data Scientist, Senior Research Fellow of The Heritage Foundation, said he had attempted to replicate Ferguson’s Covid modelling after asking “Ferguson and his colleagues for their model on multiple occasions to see how they got their numbers, but they never replied to my emails”.
“We now know the model was so highly flawed it never should have been relied upon for policy decisions to begin with.
As we learn more about the new coronavirus, it is imperative to continue to update the assumptions used in these models.
The Imperial College model didn’t meet any of these criteria. And sadly, its model was one of the inputs relied on as the basis for locking down two countries.”

How did the projected 80,000 Covid deaths stack up against actual deaths?
In 2022 NZ Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS) looked at NZ records of Covid deaths and vaccine deaths and injury estimating “in the most vulnerable age group of 65 years and above, the inoculation causes five times the number of deaths compared to deaths attributed to Covid, whether from Covid or with Covid”

Down under, in the land shrouded by an impenetrable cloud of COVID hysteria, you might surmise the motivation of the incompetent Ardern Government was tyrannical control of voters made possible by subjugating health experts and mainstream media.
We could have avoided huge social and financial mayhem had our health experts and the MSM done their jobs, rather than accept government bribes to look the other way.
In mid-2020 prior to the following hellish years, an apology along the lines of ‘I’m sorry, we overestimated Covid deaths, let’s revisit our health policies’ would have avoided, or at the very least, substantially downgraded the rollout of the toxic vaccine in February 2021.
But instead of easing Covid restrictions, the Ardern Government pushed them harder, reintroducing lockdowns in August 2020 and leaving Covid restrictions – including vaccine mandates – in place for another two years when they were lifted on 12 September 2022.
We can’t turn back the clock but until the authorities responsible for the NZ Covid debacle acknowledge their mistakes destroying lives and livelihoods, they won’t respond to a new health threat any differently from Covid.
Suze sees herself as a New Zealander whose heritage shaped but does not define, and believes unless we protect our rights and freedoms they will be taken off us by a few powerful people. This article was first published HERE

But we will not FORGET!!
Well written Suze, you have assembled the key ingredients that all but single handedly destroyed the NZ economy. I don’t believe any country got the covid call more wrong than we did. Our Marxist authoritarian vandal was showered with misguided hero worship by the progressive liberal media. The standout country that was scorned by the ignorant, was Sweden. It seems that they did better than other countries in terms of the economy, education, mental health and domestic abuse and still had half the domestic deaths rate of the US, in fact they had the lowest excess death rate in Europe. It was a country guided by intelligence and not gross ignorance and tyranny. I very much doubt that the Royal Covid commission will look outside the ruling elites tight criteria.
Said it before...Ardern and Bloomfield should be in prison.
"they could “jump on a ferry and go to the Auckland Islands for a few years…then when we’ve got rid of COVID…come back”."
The great irony (easily foreseen by anyone with a functioning brain) is that we still haven't "got rid of" COVID.
Covid is still very much in the community, the only significant difference between now and during the height of "the pandemic" is that now, they've had to stop talking about it 24/7 because the constant propaganda was wearing thin on the public, and words were increasingly divorced from people's individual and collective experience.
But people still have Covid, and they seem to be managing just fine (vaccinated or not, although it speaks volumes that vaccinated people still get Covid).
In this way, it is most accurate to describe "COVID" (in capitals) as a media invention, the same media that Hillary Barry used to make her vile and braindead comments.
Suze, mistakes were not made. Everything went exactly to plan. I just can’t wait to see what comes next.
