more Covid conspiracy nu[gge]ts
We found yet another leaflet in our letterbox, authored by "voicesforfreedom.co.nz". glossy shiny paper, with the header "are you fed up with covid yet?"
Well, surely we are fed up with Covid - but: Does that mean that we need someone else spreading nonsense, misinformation and lies around?
I just wonder: who finances this kind of provocative material aimed at confusing people and, in fact, endangering those who are uncertain of the science around highly infectious diseases. In a nutshell: this pamphlet could kill the ignorant and the gullible.
What, I wonder, is the motivation behind sowing confusion like this?
The material espoused is more or less straight from the far right wing Q-anon delusions.
At the very bottom, in tiny white letters on green background: "this does not constitute medical or legal advice. Voices for Freedom 2021".
So why print it, why distribute it, and what freedom do these clowns want? The freedom to choke to death on their own mucus in a hospital bed?
This one was sent in by your fellow neighbour, can you figure it out?
What is first white then red and the plumper it gets the more the old lady likes it?
