Whilst the Government Threatened the Public With Police Action if They Asked for Exemptions​

This article is also available as a PDF document to print/download and share. You can also listen to an audio version here.

Ursula Edgington PhD who writes under the title Informed Heart on Substack has sent me a partial breakdown of 6,700 medical staff granted vaccine exemptions provided through a 29th September 2022 OIA H2022009529. It appears from the OIA HNZ00023978 dated 2 August 2023 that we reported yesterday that the actual total may be as high as 11,005. This figure includes over 1,500 administrative managers.

The health service employs around 80,500 staff. This means that as many as 14% of MoH staff were granted exemptions. Previous mainstream media coverage accessible to the public has only reported that a total of 81 vaccine exemptions (not the actual 11,005) were granted to Ministry of Health staff.

This completely misleading media coverage gave the impression that Ministry of Health staff had almost to a person willingly taken the mRNA vaccine with the exception of 2,400 workers who euphemistically ‘left their jobs’ as a result of mandates. A far smaller number than the 11,005 medical personnel and administrators who secretly received vaccine exemptions and retained their jobs in the health service despite being unvaccinated.

Many dutifully vaccinated members of the public were left with the false belief that they were joining shoulder to shoulder with a health service totally united behind Covid mRNA vaccines. This erroneously strengthened a belief in the false ‘safe and effective’ government narrative. Many who failed to meet vaccination requirements may recall being refused permission to visit loved ones in hospital or care facilities, whilst we now know unvaccinated staff and doctors might have been treating them.

Yeah you were right, they didn't work, though we have lambasted you and treated you like trash for saying because we were convinced we were right.

How dangerously US played with coronaviruses? Lab under Fauci tied up with Wuhan institute for viral research

Between Wuhan and Montana: The 2018 experiment​

The experiment in 2018 was carried out at the NIH's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana. The lab was overseen by Dr Anthony Fauci. The research was a joint project between the NIH's Rocky Mountain Laboratories and Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborator Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina.
Scientists took 12 Egyptian fruit bats from a zoo and inoculated them with the WIV1-coronavirus, a coronavirus first detected in Chinese rufous horseshoe bats.
Researchers concluded that the WIV1-coronavirus did not cause 'a robust infection' and 'observed very limited evidence of virus replication'.
The Catocin Wildlife Preserve, from where the bats were sourced, has had a history of animal rights violations. It is located just 15 minutes away from Camp David, a 125-acre country retreat for the President of the United States.
Records cited by Daily Mail show the preserve confined 523 federally-regulated animals as of April 2023, including 241 bats, of which 41 were Egyptian fruit bats.
Most of the world's gain-of-function virus research is conducted in the United States. Such research involves making pathogens more infectious purportedly to ensure that scientists remain ahead of future outbreaks.
However, such research has been criticised by experts who say it leads to risks of a viral leak outweighing any potential benefits.

I wonder what proportion of these diagnoses can be linked to the lockdowns.

Lots of people are already blaming the vaccine for them, but I doubt it.

what the actual F***... I dont remember that.... what is the point of shooting random people?

Bean Bag non lethal rounds as punishment for being out on the streets when there is a lock down.

Here in Romania the army armed with Kalashnikov's were on foot patrol with the police but they did not shoot at anybody.

Enforcing curfew.

Just following orders.

To clarify, the video isn't COVID related though, right? It's George Floyd related.

Ah yes, indeed.
They did occur at the same time.

Wonder if some measures didn't overlapped though.
