Mandate protesters

[Lilith7]

I didn't feel stressed or confused reading it. And I would hope people realise the pamphlet is exaggerating for effect and no one is actually going to need 120 boosters. Fairly easy to check that claim though if people are confused or concerned.

Regarding this bit from the MOH "no further plans for ongoing boosters have been announced", we have seen just in the last few months how things have changed and we know that similar statements made regarding mandated vaccinations and the introduction of passports have also changed. So I can forgive people viewing such statements now with a bit of skepticism.

As for creating divisiveness, unfortunately that is already here. You only need to look at some of the comments on this and other message boards to see it.

  Fabulous - me neither.
But you & I aren't everyone else are we, & probably we both know some people who may be stressed & perhaps confused by this. The idea that we're all going to have to get 120 booster shots is unappealing to most of us, in particular those who have a phobia around needles & rather misleading as they simply do not know that is fact. Yet they deliberately chose to mislead confuse & add to divisiveness.

A bit of healthy scepticism is always a good idea with any govt but this goes beyond that.  I'm not sure why the change to needing a booster shot is upsetting to some - during a pandemic any govt needs the ability to adapt & make changes as circumstances change; we'd be in far worse shape had the govt not done so when needed.

Any respect this group may have wanted to gain has largely gone out the window, thanks to this pamphlet.

Divisiveness may well already be with us but this particular attempt at what is in some ways, scare tactics, doesn't help at all & is in fact more likely to worsen the situation by spreading uncertainty. 

And that does no one any good at a time when we all need to as far as possible, work together to cope with the pandemic.

These are clever people, deliberately setting out to confuse not so clever people. It is not honest.

I'd very interested in just who's funding them; their uniformly printed placards were rather eye catching due to the quality, in contrast to the more usual hand painted  protest placards, & as I said, these pamphlets are well printed & on good quality paper which is very unusual for most pamphlets dropped in letter boxes.

Its unlikely any of that would come cheap.
