ok kingi, lets do a hypothetical.

you have sashayed down to the local paknsave for some haematoid creme or whatever.
youve got your exemption life is good.
unknowingly you are carrying a virulent and debilitating strain of covid, as you are not vaccinated against. it has yet to show symptons.
you are in line waiting in line to be served.
also in line is a older gentleman with three unruly kids asking for lollies and kinder surprises.
unknowingly you give it to one of those kids.

should you be prosecuted too?

it effects less than 100 people in this country
maybe its better the 100 self isolate so the 5 million dont have to.
you are arguing on behalf of a miniscule percentage of population who probably wish you wouldnt, it makes them look selfish and self absorbed as well.

Of course not, hypothetically, I would have my government issued Vaccine Pass which has presumably been issued weighing all the risks, having been approved by a panel of medical specialists - very different scenario to someone who deliberately lies about their vaxx status to get into a gathering

The difference of course is that most sane people will be much more likely to take their medical advice from a panel of government mandated specialists that are empowered by law to issue government mandated vaccine exemptions, rather than following the law according to Magoo...

these folk should not take the vaccine.

however, we are in the middle of a virulent pandemic
those people compromised by the vaccine can still transmit covid, are highly likely to transmit it. we know this.
would it not be better they sat out for a while? do they really need to see the Foo Fighters? do they really need to get that haemmaroid creme themselves??

yes, ill probly get the boot here as well.
that wont stop an unvaccinated person giving the disease to a child
it will just stop me from pointing it out.



for medical reasons you cant take it,

different scenario, same outcome.

The answer is in that grey area where you refuse to venture

Might be better if you and the family stay home Magoo - the laws are not on your side...

This is the only information I can see on the matter 

Quote:If youÔÇÖre given a temporary medical exemption, you will see a record of this in My Covid Record and you will be able to request your pass┬áfrom Saturday 4 December. You will still be able to access essential services until youÔÇÖre able to download your pass.

When your pass is scanned at venues your exemption status will not be disclosed to the business. You will be able to gain access like everyone else.

thats right. i understand that.
its not a grey area, its common knowledge.
 no argument here, look

you can still catch and spread covid when vaccinated.

however, 
if you are not vaccinated what you carry and disperse is a much more virulent risk.
it is more likely to transmit to other unvaccinated (like the ones who cant for medical reasons) and have far more serious consequences.

this is why we have the traffic light system.
this is why we have mandates
its not magoo making you miss out on going to church
its a health and safety issue.

why are you trying to subvert efforts to take control of this?
why are you coming up with if's , and's and but's at every turn??
it really does seem like people are grasping at anything they can to justify being an antisocial menace.
you encourage it.

Being vaccinated does not stop you from catching or carrying the virus.

does that read ok to you?

do we not have the right to know you are unvaccinated?  (no matter the reason, the reason why is none of our business)? so we too may make the choice to be in that space with you?

does being somewhere where other unvaxxed are precluded from by mandate, knowing you are unvaccinated also but there anyway because youve got a pass make you feel superior?

its smug, selfish and short sighted. no less.

Everything ive heard up till now has been hearsay, but this confirms it for me after having a family member suffer blood clots, this is very real.
May be "uncommon" but there must be a few hundred people with this in NZ by now, not everyone gets symptoms, but in her case, she felt breathless and weak and went to the doctor who ordered an MRI.
Luckily for her, she is OK and been put on blood thinners, but could have easily been another death statistic...
My doctor told me the other day that pfizer does not cause blood clots, and that only astrazenica is linked to them, does she take me as a fool?
There are many documented reports coming to the surface with blood clot links. Astrazenica seems to get more bad press around this, but both astrazenica and pfizer have had reports of blood clots and myocarditis.

How many others are also doing this & exposing vulnerable people to more risk than those people understand?
That's grossly unfair, & I'd also have no problem with people found to have been doing this being prosecuted because they're knowingly placing others at risk.

Most of us have no problem with those unable to be vaccinated or wear a mask  for genuine health reasons, but this behaviour is deeply selfish & could even be said to be malicious.
