Thinking back on JohnO who used to post here in abundance. Maybe
reality caught up to him as he came to realise that my Covid-vaccine
posts were bang on target and his faith-in-health-authorities take was
failing totally. Maybe he lost confidence.
A few excerpts from those days:
JohnO 18/6/2021 replying to me:
Just as well I take medical advice from my GP and not from some
internet random.
(internet random (me) 1, John O 0)
JohnO 11/7/2021 before the mandates:
Read my lips: There will be no coerced vaccination in NZ. Ever. Anyone
who thinks there will be, is bat. shit. crazy.
(Ohhh, batshit crazy 1, JohnO 0)
JohnO 13/7/2021 replying to me on my original thought-out topics:
I'll ignore your batshit-crazy, informed-by-google advise and stick to
what I hear from my doctor, and the word's leading experts on
virology. Thanks all the same.

They are realising now that when they reach their arbitrary 90%
vaccination goal, that the plan is to then let COVID run through the population. Perhaps they didn't emotionally accept that before,
because now they are panicking. Now they are looking for ways to
still "control COVID" *after* they reach the 90% with masks and
passports, and whatever the hell makes them feel like they are worth a
damn. All at the expense of the people, of course. Can they just
stay on script??? Reach your 90% or whatever, then SET
THE PEOPLE FREE. The unvaccinated don't want your help, they prefer
COVID to the vaccine, so respect their decision -- their bodies, their
choice. And the vaccinated can feel safe & warm & fuzzy until the
next tidal wave of reality comes along which will show that the
authorities were full of s#!& all along, as of course they were.
Somebody, tell the control freaks that they CANNOT "control COVID",
and to LET GO after their vaccination goal is reached. Give it up,
give it away, set the people free. Stop tormenting New Zealand !!
JohnO replied: They have wheeled out Personal Shroud-waver to the
PM, Shaun Hendy with a prediction of 7000 deaths per year at 80%
vaccination. This is the guy who modelled 80,000 deaths in NZ at the
start of the whole thing. Like UK's disgraced Neil Fergusson, he has
been spectacularly wrong since... forever. All these guys do is throw
out theoretical worst case scenarios. They are a tool of the
government used to scare people into submission.
(JohnO getting a clue, here)
Willy wrote on 2/12/2012: A healthy 26yo Dunedin plumber, felled by
the vaccine: ... Reported by an Australian newspaper, embargoed by our
loyal NZ media. Excerpts follow:
"A fit and active 26-year-old man has mysterious died with fears he
may have suffered fatal side effects 12 days after receiving Pfizer's
Covid vaccine. Rory James Nairn, 26, had heart palpitations for
several days before collapsing to the floor of his Dunedin home in New
Zealand on November 17."
JohnO replied: Willy has a habit of misrepresentation. Thus poor guy
did die, and had been vaccinated, but there has been nothing to show vaccination killed him or contributed to his death. Coroner has yet to
even look at it.

Children's COVID vaccination as an "insurance policy"?!? This will
end badly. COVID harms no child. The vaccine will harm them. This
will end badly.
JohnO replied: Fatalities *by* COVID are rare - especially so for
Omicron and even more so for fully vaxxed. In fact you would be far
more likely to die in a car accident or by drowning. Don't see Cindy
banning cars or swimming (yet). The cost of our over the top
defensive posture to COVID is far higher than the cost of it being
endemic. Open the borders before more harm is done to NZ.
(JohnO is really catching on now)
JohnO disappeared shortly thereafter. He had budged from his original inflexible stand, but it's hard to admit to oneself that you've let
the charlatans inject your body with their poison serum. Still, one
hopes he's OK today. I'm less interested in RichBot, since he
probably wasn't even a person, just a role.
