That is somewhat irresponsible, since as you say no one can be sure at this point exactly what the future holds. The other point is that much of their pamphlet is small type, & will therefore be difficult for some to read which makes it easy for them to get an entirely false impression.(18-12-2021, 03:07 PM)Lilith7 Wrote: Those 'voices for freedom' nutters have been busy - in my letterbox today was an official looking form  on slick, smooth & good quality paper with the words 'Vaccinate Aotearoa" at the top.
Underneath 'Avoid disappointment; book your next 120 boosters in bulk. Covid 19 vaccinations have been shown to be most effective within a 13 day window. In order to protect yourself, your whanau, & your community, twice monthly boosters are now required.
Demand for boosters  is likely to be high in order to maintain vaccine passports validity & access to haircuts, employment, education, services, fun & life in general, so reserve your future 'coercion-free' vaccine's now!
Below that is a n official looking form with spaces for name address, ph no. etc etc & spaces for dates to get vaccinated with stipulated 'must be by' dates.
Under that in tiny letttering it says to submit completed form to www.HumanPinCushion.co.nz, & beneath that in even smaller font it says that the vaccine hasn't been shown to prevent people passing on or catching the SARS-Cov-2 virus then a bit about adverse reactions & how you might need a crash cart standing by for boosters.
At he very bottom in bold it says Note: this is NOT an official document. It is designed to make you think. Did it make you consider what lies ahead? if yes, get informed at Voices for freedom.co.nz.
On the back in small letters very pale grey on white background, making it difficulty to read for anyone with sight problems it says multiple times  satire satire."
Lyflong boosters - 2021v1.0
You can say one thing for covid - it certainly brings nutters out into the open. Dammit.
Nutters in what way?  Yes they are exaggerating, but you can see the point they are trying to make? At this stage we don't know where this will all end and who is to say we may not require 6 monthly boosters in the future in order to keep our vaccine passports. Why is thinking about this possibility a bad thing?
By implying that people are going to need up to 120 boosters, they'll create anxiety at a time when we all need to remain as calm & reasonable as possible. Their human pincushion address leads to their site; this is what it says:
"[b]You've come to the right place![/b]
Welcome to your new tribe. There are over a million Kiwis who have not received the COVID-19 shots and plenty of others who have but are not keen on signing up to be human pin-cushions for the rest of their lives.
The Voices for Freedom team would like to encourage you to have a look around our site. "
Really? "Welcome to your new tribe?" Nothing like creating divisiveness in the middle of a pandemic, eh.

"The Ministry of Health has issued a warning over a flyer being circulated by an anti-vaccine group, telling Kiwis to only go to trusted sources for information on Covid and vaccines.
The pamphlet, which was circulated by the Voices for Freedom group, is designed to look like an official form and tells New Zealanders that they need to have booster shots twice-monthly to retain their vaccine passes.
It directs people to a website that describes a future where the vaccinated are required to be "human pin cushions" and receive multiple booster doses.
In reality, boosters were only recently rolled out to those who had their second dose of the vaccine more than six months ago and no further plans for ongoing boosters have been announced.
"We all have a responsibility to stop misinformation spreading, and we encourage people to only go to trusted sources to get reliable information."
"Our approach focuses on providing readily available reliable information while building and strengthening resilience to false information. "

Pity they didn't think it through first. More spammy junk mail. The planet really needs more of that.
