As far as I know Michael Baker has no epidemiology training (and his professorship is more or less an Honorary degree). Nor has Siouxsie Wiles. I'm not sure about Rod Jackson. Strangely there's currently two trained epidemiologists as Labour Party MPs but they don't seem to be called on too much (Ayesha Verrall & Liz Craig) to provide actual policy. In Ayesha's case she seems to be just there to provide substance to decisions made by the actual Health MP, the lawyer Little.

I think there's also a strong British contingent here in NZ "helping out" on this nudging.

Cognitive swaying also and the same as, coercian, bullying, mind warping. This has been used for many years now. Example : Look at McDonald's marketing.

"Give me the child until they are 7" They install themselves with a baited hook in a children's hospital. And so on and so on. These examples are many.

Now the Pied Piper has led the unthinking, naive to the rivers edge, and for some, well they are lost and gone already to the dark swift eddying water!

"After all, if you were capable of thinking clearly and making good choices, they wouldn’t have to lecture you like a five year old, would they?"

One of the most disgusting, disrespectful and maddening things for me has been this tone, this attitude that we're all kindergarteners. Ok class, let's all stand on our own dots, six feet apart, and sing "your mask protects me! My mask protects you!"

I know they literally were doing this in some schools, but in general, "they" were doing it everywhere. And the left has been using this for a much longer time than just Covid. All their stupid, juvenile protest chants, all their catchy woke slogans "love is love!" are designed by these nudgers to indoctrinate at the lowest levels of thinking. Which is unfortunately where most people live. It's feeble-minded sugar that goes straight into the bloodstream.

Ok, rant over.

I only saw spotty coverage from overseas, but down here in En Zed, our media darling prime minister literally became the school-teacher lecturing the class. To this day I cannot watch that woman speak. She can't help but condescend to you.

That part is awful enough. The truly disgusting thing is how many of the unformed human larvae in this country acted the part of the obedient five year old and loved it. Up until she fell out of favour recently, there were still many people worshiping her -- a public relations creation -- for "saving us from Covid".

I'm more bothered by the total lack of moral fibre in our population than I am by the tin-pot tyrants.

Oh, Jacinda was a gem for you. Well groomed WEF bootlicker. But yes, you're absolutely right. It's the population that is just so damn disappointing. Hopefully, we've learned our lessons around the world, and are really understanding how important the average person finds their voice and says No. I try to be optimistic with this, but man, I just am so disappointed in the vomit people are lapping up.
