Are you implying that natural immunity and almost dying is better than standard vaccines?

What about people whose jobs are in direct contact with the public? Should they be mandated?

Good for them, and never fall victim to big government.

Jacinda’s Coerced and fear-driven “Team of 5 Million” is beginning to fall apart.
Lol! 3000 people out of 5 million = .0006% .....Falling apart? Calm down buddy!

I am not anti vaccine by any means, I think people SHOULD get vaccinated. Particularly if they are in a vulnerable group. But mandates are another matter. Working with kids means nothing- children are highly unlikely to catch Covid anyway, or pass it on to others. I think a grand total of 4 covid fatalities this month.
Enough people will volunteer to be vaccinated to provide herd immunity, so things will settle out naturally without imposing such draconian measures. But not fast enough apparently for the smugnorant class who can only see anti mandate people as lesser than themselves.

Good for them! Real NZers standing up against fascism.

Was in Wellington today and there were certainly some interesting types in that protest.
Although I don't support the current administration, I do support vaccination.
What seems to have triggered these people to protest is vaccine mandates for certain occupations, teachers for example. I just wonder how far we can go to compel people to get the vaccine to be honest.
Coulda been
Does this mean that when the unvaccinated lose their job they will refuse to accept Govt (taxpayer) funded unemployment benefits? Hmmmm, probably not.

I guess at least they didn't assault reporters, get drunk and urinate on the War Memorial as the anti-vaccine morons did in Melbourne.
Common denominator : Trump flags. Surprise, surprise.

Vaccines have been saving us for over 200 years.......I think you don't really understand what a vaccine is, what it does or how it does it.
The experimental mRNA shots are only "vaccines" if you take the new definition, conveniently modified by the NHI. According to the traditional definition, they are not.

Finally they had enough of the authoritarian overreach of their government? It is high time.

Who cares about those idiots, many others face curbs on everything in whole life, even when fully vaccinated. That’s not a criterion.

how do vaccines not save us?
Vaccines have been saving us for over 200 years.......I think you don't really understand what a vaccine is, what it does or how it does it. But vaccines DO work, they DO protect and they have kept your sceptical self safe from diseases that used to ravage people year in, year out.

All for people speaking their mind whether their opinion is right or wrong. Several threats of violence were made against individuals though and police need to make an example of those making the threats.

no sympathy for people who refuse to get vaccinated and work in close contact with children - find another job.
