    Come on that is too logical. These tyrants have not finished. I suspect we will all  be surprised at the punishments waiting the unvaccinated.

     

    But i surrendered. I am getting the AZ in a weeks time. Apparently it is a more normal vaccine using traditional methods for vaccine production. So hopefully safe.

    Quite entertaining all this sock guessing.

    And seeing Thor casting around trying to figure out who is who (as if it matters).

    From the back-channel chatter on Discord it seems he is getting it wrong 93.1% of the time.

    Which is quite a lot of wrongology for Thor the Infallible.

    Double wide would be about a 20 square house. Set on an acre of emerald green grass with a magnificent oak, it wasn’t too shabby.

    I’m still hoping it will sort of “blow over” and I won’t be forced into it.   I resent having to worry about side-effects,  time off work and financial issues and not being able to carry out personal responsibilities things I do for some family etc,  and just being out of action, let alone any long term issues with the vax.

    The NSW government are clearly following directives of overseas players, this hasn’t just sprung up from nowhere. Kerry Chant today and Brad Hazzard previously are both using the term “New World Order”.

    Sorry to break this to you KD, but ALL physical laws are made up by humans. They are made up to explain observations and predict the outcomes of other experiments and the ones that do this successfully  within the bounds of the experiments are then regarded as laws. Put enough successful laws together and we call it “understanding” the way the universe works.

    TheirABC uncritically outlines how people in NSW will be identified as lepers or obedient servants of the State:

     


    In order to make it easier for eligible customers and businesses, Service NSW is developing an update to its QR check-in app that would display your vaccination status when you check in to a non-essential business.
    Only fully vaccinated people would be allowed entry.
    “The system New South Wales is developing means when you check in to a cafe or a restaurant, your QR code … will show your vaccination status and the check-in capacity in the one app,” Premier Gladys Berejiklian said earlier this week.

    “You don’t need to pull out a separate piece of paper to say you’re vaccinated, a separate app to say [you have] checked in. It’s better for businesses and individuals as well.”

    I just don’t know what to say. My flabber is gasted.
