My fellow journalists at Alor.org, and I only contribute on New Zealand issues, as a former Kiwi, have covered a mass of material indicating that the Covid lockdowns were a failure. That applies to New Zealand as well, where the prime minister at the time, Jacinda Ardern, went into totalitarian over drive. She took away basic constitutional and civil liberty rights from citizens, and laughed about it; the videos are still available. There were the vaccinated, who had rights, and the unvaccinated, who would be forced, metaphorically, to wear sack cloth and ashes: 2 Samuel 3:31. Chilling stuff at the time, and still disturbing.
Now, after her resignation as prime minister, her new PM, Chris Hipkins, who was her Health Minister, has awarded Ardern a Damehood, for “leading the country through the Covid pandemic.” Yes, but did she? At present in 2023, the excess mortality rate of New Zealanders is about 25 percent above the mean, and all admit that the cause is not the Covid infection itself. In fact, the cause is unknown, since the new theology across the West, among the mainstream, is that the vaxxes are “safe and effective,” as Ardern told us so frequently.
