Heather du Plessis-Allan: What Chris Hipkins is doing to the Covid Inquiry


Let me tell you what Chris Hopkins is busy doing to the Covid Inquiry.

Let me tell you, when he says that the Covid Inquiry is providing a platform for those who have conspiracy theorist views, he is trying to undermine it, and he's doing that. So it doesn't matter what the outcome of the inquiry is, people have already written it off as a nut job investigation.

I suspect Chippy already knows that he's not going to come out of this flash. Neither is Jacinda. Neither is Ashley. Neither is Grant.

Because we already know what went wrong. We can see that the lockdowns went too long. We know that the border was done badly. We know how much money was printed, to name just a few things that they did wrong.

It's kind of rich of Chris Hipkins to complain that the terms of reference have been deliberately constructed to achieve a certain outcome, because that's coming from the guy whose government did exactly the same with the original Covid Inquiry.

They set up such a limited set of terms of references that we had to set up a second inquiry after they lost the election just to get to the stuff that we actually care about, which is the mandates and the Auckland lockdown, and so on.

They set up an inquiry, deliberately designed their words to only learn lessons, not assign blame when actually blame, or you can call it just taking responsibility, is exactly what a lot of us affected by all of this stuff would like to see.

But what really bothers me about what Chris Hipkins is doing is the continual demonising of conspiracy theorists. Now, look, I don't love a conspiracy theorist. They're a bit nutty. I've had to sit through lectures about the world order hours on end, trying to be polite and pretending that you care because you love the person, right? A lot of these people went down the rabbit hole because Labour forced to the jab on them, so they went off to do their own research and they came back a bit strange.

They shouldn't be excluded. They may be conspiracy theorists, but they're still our friends and our brothers and our uncles, even if they're a bit slightly different at the moment. Conspiracy theorists or not, they were as affected by these decisions as everyone else, therefore, they get a say too.

And whatever, by the way, happened to “they are us”? Or does that only apply when it suits Labour?

I have always believed it right to have polio, tetanus, German measles vaccines for example. A “vaccine” that didn’t stop infection or transmission, (and no one was sure if it may alter one’s natural immunity) was a step too far and making it mandatory criminal.

Heather in this day and age quite frankly the difference between a theory being a conspiracy to it being a reality is about 6-12 months. Primaritly because of the BS touted by politicians and repeated ad nausium by the MSM and their cohort 'experts'.

Not all teories for sure, but look around at the reality of who said what and when and who demonised them for the statement and then suddenly what they said would happen did!

That is why people no longer trust their politicians, the media, their doctors to a degree and that disaffectation was so easily created and is now hard to win back.

Hipkins of course is just gaslighting as usual to ensure their is enough 'barrier' between him and the truth so he can claim some form of plausible deniability.

Remember, as many people will never forget that the 'vaccine' for Covid 19 was never going to be mandated and no one would be punitively affected and then next minute we had a two tier society, yip, yip it is what it is.......

Stop calling him chippy heather. This is a cute nickname for a good person, a chip off the old block. This evil weasel is neither. The fact that he does not even have the humility to say sorry, we got things wrong, shows his true character. I remember power gping to his head during covid. Instead of opening the border around auckland, hipkins thought it would be a great idea to leave the border shut, and ask Aucklanders to apply for papers from the govt to leave the border by car at a set time and place. A bit similar to Miq. Dear old Sturmbanfuhrer Hipkins thought that he could set up a type of East Berlin. Bless his heart. Thank goodness this idea was seen as too mad, even for the labour party.

Your mobile phone rings because your phone company knows exactly where you are, therefore the Govt knew also.
Having you take pix of mandatory QR codes was an exercise in getting you to accept Govt control of you - it achieved nothing for the public good and was another of the Labour's massive wastes of your money..
Just like the Stasi with people snitching on you if you didn't obediently raise your phone and comply.
Pure evil.
