In recent weeks it seems that a few people have begun to talk about adverse reactions to the Pfizer covid vaccine. A US court has ordered Pfizer to release a damning document that highlights over 100 different adverse reactions to the vaccine from around the world. Curiously there were a few others that were not listed which I think are common enough. Unlisted side-effects of the Pfizer covid vaccine are self-righteousness, stupidity, heartlessness and the loss of critical thinking skills.

Let’s take Duncan Garner as our first example. Having just received his second dose of the vaccine, he gets covid. Initially surprised he assumed it couldn’t be covid because he was already vaccinated. His religious faith took a hit when he discovered it was, but he managed to overcome this spiritual attack and move to comfort himself with the thought that things would have been far worse had he not been vaccinated. Conclusion? Get vaccinated says Garner. So he thought the vaccine prevented him from getting Covid. It didn’t. And now he expects us to get this marvellous vaccine because he thinks it will reduce the effects of the virus. Don’t take up a job in sales mate.

Then there are the clowns who complain about the protests. Newmarket’s retail boss Mark Knoff-Thomas labelled those protesting by marching down Broadway as ‘utter dickheads’ because it apparently ruined one of the busiest shopping days of the year. I wonder what he calls the people who shut down the shops for about a quarter of the year and who now are banning unvaccinated people from many shops around the country.

On a related note, we have Inangahua Community Board chair John Bougen frustrated with supposedly irrational attitudes of anti-vaxxers. Let’s leave the ‘anti-vaxxer’ slur alone this time. People who haven’t got the Pfizer vaccine are not all anti-vaxxers. If you don’t know this, it’s probably due to the little known adverse reaction of stupidity.

So what’s Bougen’s problem? Why are those choosing not to take the vaccine irrational? Well, unfortunately for him, it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The only irrational one is Bougen. He is annoyed because those who have refused the vaccine are having a negative impact on business. Cafes have apparently lost staff and can’t open on certain days of the week. Chefs are no longer working at restaurants. The worst of all for Bougen is that employers have to foot the bill for four weeks pay for the staff who have refused the vaccine and are losing their jobs. How dare these people get four weeks pay? They’ve only been pushed out on their arse because our ever benevolent overlords have decided to mandate an experimental vaccine before they can continue in their employment. Why should they get four weeks pay as they begin to look for jobs that will allow the modern-day leper to apply? How dare we give them anything? They should be dismissed immediately. Who do they think they are trying to make their own medical choices? Bastards. They should be tossed on the street without a cent. Better still, they should have been held down and forcibly vaccinated so John Bougen can enjoy a flat white at the cafe of his choice.

This is a clear case of the damage the Pfizer vaccine is doing to the critical thinking skills of a number of New Zealanders. We treat people abominably and then we blame them for the results of our treatment. We accept the government’s injustice like docile sheep, and then instead of blaming the government for its evil stupidity, we turn on the poor sods who have already suffered job losses and then blame them for minor inconveniences to ourselves. We say they are ruining the economy because now we don’t have enough workers. We blame them for putting lives in danger because they are no longer working as St John’s volunteers because of the mandate.

I’ve even heard this sort of stupid thinking even amongst some Christians who think unvaccinated people need to just resign and let employers get on with hiring someone else. There is no compassion, no love, no care, no sense of the great wrong that is being done right now. No desire for justice. No understanding that not only are brave people losing their jobs, but they are also losing their rights to be free citizens in their own country. No haircuts, no date nights, no clay shooting club, no weddings, no family Christmas and the list keeps going on and on. There is only a sense of frustration that these people won’t just disappear and stop ruining our society.

And finally to the mainstream media for their stupidity. The New Zealand Herald had a recent headline: Young girl gets virus after hug with unvaccinated adult. The lead paragraph reads. “An 11-year-old girl got Covid-19 after “a fleeting hug” with an unvaccinated adult at a family dinner, leaving the family’s lives “disrupted” for three weeks, her mother says.” Sounds absolutely appalling, doesn’t it?

So the story? A young girl hugs a young man who was unvaccinated and carried the virus. Interestingly he did not know he had the virus, so it can’t have been bad – not like Duncan’s version eh?! The poor girl contracted the virus and ended up with covid and had to isolate. It was very disruptive apparently. Then we get the usual self-righteous lecturing about how the mother always follows the rules like a good little sheep, as well as the obligatory throwing the unvaccinated family member under the bus and the altar call to accept the gospel of vaccination. Then we are regaled with the fact that poor Shakyra had a compromising health condition and was born premature.

By this stage I was truly worried, I can tell you. In typical mainstream media fashion, my fears were only relieved 3/4 of the way down. Shakyra only had a runny nose and a cough. One wonders how this made it into our supposed premier newspaper. Imagine trying this 3 years ago. My daughter was hugged by her uncle who hadn’t got his flu shot. She got a runny nose and a bit of a cough. That would have been front-page news that. Riveting stuff. The real question is, why isn’t the headline “Two unvaccinated young people unaffected by Covid”?

Keep your eyes peeled my friends. As you do, you will surely see that these vaccine side effects of stupidity, self-righteousness and loss of critical thinking skills are worryingly common.
