Are COVID-19 Vaccines Safe?

Let's look at the facts as they relate to New Zealand. The Ministry of Health has agreed to buy several COVID-19 vaccines:

Pfizer

Janssen

Novavax

AstraZeneca

Right now, 50% of these vaccines have been withdrawn or suspended due to serious problems, such as blood clots causing death. They are Janssen and AstraZeneca. 

Here's the Ministry's list: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-vaccines/covid-19-types-vaccines#:~:text=COVID-19%20vaccines-,Novavax,Enough%20for%205.36%20million%20people.

The question needs to be asked: why is the government medically experimenting on the people of New Zealand? The roll out of all vaccines should be immediately halted until full clinical trials can be completed. The COVID-19 coronavirus turns out to be not that serious, more than 99% of people who catch it recover. Stop this nonsense right now.

Have Lockdowns Enabled Coronavirus Mutations to Thrive?

 Interesting view from The Critic:

In a world of social distancing, stay-at-home orders, face coverings and a ban on mass gatherings, we are no-doubt suppressing the virus. But we are conferring a greater advantage on the more transmissible variants of that virus.

COVID-19: Interesting Views on Vaccines

I'm not qualified to comment, but I thought the following interesting. The people in this video don't appear to be any type of fringe element, they include Robert F Kennedy Jr.

Global Supply Chain Stressed

This is what happens when you interfere with the supply chain - chaos. Back when the lockdowns started I predicted shortages and ultimately this will result in hunger, potentially riots (a few already, Chile being an example), and in some parts of the world, famine. 

What I'm talking about are actions that stop the conveyor. I have quite a bit of experience with logistics, raw material processing being my top skill. I can tell you this very easily: when the conveyor stops, you lose a lot. 

The global supply chain is one very large conveyor. It is slowly breaking down. The port of Los Angeles/Long Beach is one of the largest ports in the world. It is a vast contiguous port mass where they handle 20+ ships at any one time, and where they stack road trailers on top of one another over acres of staging areas, ready for attaching to the truck prime movers that haul loads out of the port to anywhere in the western United States. From there cargo also moves under bond into Mexico, through inland entry points as far away as El Paso in Texas. 

What's going on? The USA is experiencing shortages on shelves right now and things are not getting any better. With a lack of ships and COVID restrictions, ships are waiting to enter port for as long as it takes to transit the Pacific. Bear in mind this is trade of the largest economy in the world being affected. 

Little New Zealand is going to be hit really hard, you've only seen the start of this. NZ may find itself unable to export. Yes, unable to export. What you need to do is scream (yes, scream) to your local member of parliament about this. They're too stupid to realise the extent of the problem. The-global-supply-chain-is-breaking-down.

Lockdown Demonstrations

Sometimes I'm a bit out with my timing. I thought there would be widespread unrest about COVID-19 lockdowns back in 2020. But now we're beginning to see a trend worldwide. People are not prepared to accept being kept under house arrest for having done no wrong, and watching their livelihoods disappear. Protests are occurring all over the world, but notably in the Netherlands and in Lebanon. These lockdowns have been monumentally stupid and if governments don't reverse their approach we'll begin to see revolutions. And I'm talking French revolution scale here, and if you're rich and reading this, then you'll likely know how that went for the aristocracy. 

New Zealand Lockdown Planned?

Word coming in is that New Zealand will go into lockdown around January 15-18th. Get ready, stock up. If this is severe it will finish NZ off. Kiwis, get ready to become Australian.

What Next for 2021?

What a weird year 2020 has been. We have airlines virtually grounded worldwide and hundreds of cruise ships parked up. I believe the latter have skeletal crews keeping the ships engines running and they sail from parking lot to parking lot. If they didn't do that the ships wouldn't be useable again. Then cargo ships are being scrapped at record levels due to the downturn in trade volumes, which alone could bring about world hunger as food cannot get to where it's needed.

So what's ahead for 2021? No idea, but I think things are going to get worse, anyone prepared to say I'm wrong?

Trucks Stranded in Britain

It is easy to see why Britain wants out of the EU when you look at how the French behave when arbitrarily introducing new COVID-19 restrictions:

Coronavirus: Origins

A lot is going on, now we have several mutations of the virus to deal with. Has anyone else noticed little or no talk about where this virus actually originated. Is that in the hope people will forget? 

Last I read anything about this, just about every suspect source had been ruled out; gone were bats, the Wuhan wet market, and a leak from a biological weapons laboratory. Australia is intending to hold an inquiry, but China seems to consider this a slur and is taking action against them by placing punitive tariffs on their exports to China. 

An obvious question this; why would China be opposed to finding out the truth? Hmm?

Donald Trump and the Coronavirus

Donald Trump has caught the nasty virus, COVID-19. What happens if he becomes incapacitated and unable to perform the duties of President? Here's an interesting Bloomberg article on that very subject:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-10-02/what-happens-if-trump-is-unable-to-govern?

ANZ Closes Bonus Bonds

It's the end of the venerable Bonus Bonds. Despite having many critics they've remained popular since their introduction in the early 1970's. And those critics were probably just disgruntled know-nothings or competitors anyway.

Bonus Bonds offered monthly prizes instead of interest. The main advantage of them was their completely tax free status. Founded by the NZ government and initially run by the NZ Post Office, they were intended as a way for the government to raise funds. When PostBank was sold in the early 90's, their buyer ANZ had to take over the scheme. Their tax free status remained.

Were they any good, these Bonus Bonds? They could be, depending on how much you had invested. Too much and earnings would be too low. Too little and you may wait years for a prize. But for just the right sum, they could earn regularly, and those earnings didn't impact your tax position. The money was on call and returns immediate, meaning a single prize early in the year could cover the whole expected annual return drip fed over time in any other investment vehicle.

Bonus Bonds closure is a sign that the COVID19 lockdowns have damaged the economy. Businesses are closing every day and now banks are stressed. This could get very ugly, and all because of a bug that's about as bad as the flu. Unbelievable.

Donald Trump: It's over for New Zealand

Donald Trump has this right. New Zealand was held up as providing the answer to COVID-19. It has fallen flat on its face and now what? It's going bust in spectacular fashion. The President was right to call NZ out. 

New Zealand Back Into Lockdown

New Zealand has been touting itself as having the answer on how to deal with COVID-19. Well they don't, I couldn't put it more bluntly than that.

At the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, NZ was somewhat reluctant to close its borders. It did close to China reasonably early, but remained open to the rest of the World. So the Coronavirus arrived on its shores from Iran and Italy. Then what followed was the most drastic lockdown anywhere. This wrecked the local economy, wiping out all inbound tourism which accounted for almost 20% of export revenue.

Not that clever New Zealand and did this approach work? Not on your life; COVID-19 is back and now NZ goes into Level 2 lockdown across the country and Level 3 in Auckland. The authorities say for a few days, we'll see, I'm not holding my breath.

So what's been going on? I can only give my own opinion about this; I believe community transmission has been around the whole time. This may even extend in some form, right back into last year - 2019. Why do I think this? One of the early casualties was an older person from a remote part of the country, someone who had not come into contact with many people, especially tourists. She was initially diagnosed with pneumonia and this was put down as the cause of death, only to have that revised and updated. It's highly likely there have been many cases like this that have gone unnoticed.

Then recently NZers have gone overseas, and were found to be carrying the virus when they arrived. How did they catch it? At least some of those must have caught the virus when in NZ, meaning community transmission was occurring, something NZers were told no longer existed.

NZ is going into an election campaign that will decide the country's future. It seems NZ's inexperienced and somewhat shallow Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern is using the Coronavirus to ensure reelection. That is being done through the timing of these lockdowns to coincide with the election campaign. NZers had a fairly clear indication this was coming; as soon as electioneering began in earnest, the government COVID-19 television advertisements began again. Then a few days before the latest lockdown announcement, talk of requiring the wearing of masks was all over the media. This, despite there being no community transmission according to official sources. In other words, NZers were being softened up.

Rather than announce policy, and debate the direction of the country, Ardern is using a fear campaign to ensure victory. This comes after she effectively bankrupted the country. 

Will people see sense and realise a change of government is needed? Maybe, but if they do not and NZ experiences another three years of Jacinda Ardern at the helm, that may spell the end of the country. It really is that serious. On the plus side, this Coronavirus does not appear that bad after all. You wouldn't want to catch it, but if you do, there is every chance you'll recover. But the panic associated with it is being used by politicians to further their own agendas.

Coronavirus, Elections and Lack of Patriotism

Right now, New Zealand is in the middle of an election campaign. The result will decide the government for the next three years. The NZ Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern is the front runner, but hot on her heels is the National Party leader, Judith Collins.

Ardern is playing a shrewd game and I think quite dishonestly so. That's because she's using the current Coronavirus panic as a mechanism to bolster support for her regime. It is quite easy to do, here's Hermann Goering on the subject:

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

Ardern is using the Coronavirus, COVID19 as a means to convince the population they're being attacked, not by foreign armies but by the virus itself. Any opposition is considered unpatriotic and thus exposing the country to even more danger. This is duplicitous to say the least but this is the standard of discourse these days.

Will people wake up? Eventually they will, but it may be too late by then. The country will have slipped into bankruptcy and possibly no longer exist in any real sense, it will have to fold and become a State of Australia, a status it technically holds but has never activated.

COVID19: Slowly Countries Waking Up

I've noticed that countries are beginning to open their borders. There really is no option, either we start to open up or the global economy will collapse and millions, possibly billions will starve. Yes, COVID19 is serious, but it appears it isn't any more lethal than a bad flu. We cannot go on experimenting with people's livelihoods, tell the scientists to shut up and let the rest of us get on with our lives. I couldn't put it any more bluntly.
