    Score another point to the virus.

    It's easy to kick our arses when the gene pool is so cloudy.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Or shallow... imagine the remorse it would feel at having to high-jack such lowly DNA

    Good luck getting into a pub or having a meal out without the app. Or staying in a camping ground... It just went way too far in the end.

    Did you need it to do 'anything' or go 'anywhere'? Hyperbole like that just weakens any argument.

    I guess not “anything” or “anywhere” in the absolute literal sense.
    So with that I was incorrect - my mistake.

    To rephrase - I could not do most things or go most places in society without a vaccination pass/scanning app etc during the level 4 lockdowns.

    Regarding my personal home/family, there were a lot of things I could not do either. For example It would have prevented me from being with my kids, or attending a family members funeral. I got vaccinated - because family are everything. But overall, like SafeRiders, felt the government took things too far.

    What things could you do without it during that time?

    The only time that I recall showing it was at restaurants. Otherwise I never needed it. Supermarkets and petrol stations didn't require it, going for walks with my family didn't require it, popping into friends businesses didn't require it. Didn't need it to drive my car or ride my bike.

    Are you sure regarding supermarkets and Petrol stations?

    The traffic light system introduced in December 2021 mandated the use of vaccine passes to access these places. If they didn’t check you then they were not abiding by the mandate nor their own company policies around COVID.

    In terms of driving/riding - provided that was for essential purposes, during the relevant lockdown level.

    Maybe we are not aligning on the time and lockdown level.

    But semantics aside - I thought it was very restrictive to many kiwis everyday life.

    There was the QR for supermarkets but it was never checked but I didn't experience that for petrol stations. Let's get back on track, you initially stated you couldn't do anything or go anywhere without a vaccine card (hyperbole I know). You weren't talking about lockdown in you initial statement. I'm arguing that I only recall showing my vaccine card at restaurants.

    Yeah no vaccine passes required for essential services (supermarkets, healthcare etc) but masks were mandated – but only really as mandated as the fares on AT are, as in if you made yourself objectionable enough, they usually let it pass unless you got a real hardliner (and exemptions were very easy to come by).

    They were required for 'close contact' businesses and gathering in groups like at restaurants etc I think, only time I remember anyone asking to see mine was at a cinema.

    Snipping a bit here and there - those funerals, those people in terminal care - many people were in that situation BECAUSE of covid, yet some see the lockdonws as. a greater imposition. And you can now go off to your Thursday beers possibly because the lockdowns and vaccinations were successful at curbing the spread.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    The thing that got me riled was all the anti-vaxers hitting me with disinformation. They kept saying I was "shedding", so I would excitedly race home to look for these sheds, but nadda. Fuckers

    I've worked with smarter people all my working life.

    But I'm smarter enough to know who is smarter than me.

    The truly fucking moronic think they are smarter than actual smart people.

    Ohh I think in smarter than medical scientists.

    Fuck off. You're plankton stupid compared to them. Tdl, mushman, Dean and your obvious alter ego. Talking to you.

    Reality differed....
    My Vaccine Pass is compulsory for entering a range of public settings including events, hospitality (cafes, restaurants and bars), close contact businesses such as hairdressers and beauticians, retailers, sporting events, and faith-based gatherings. However, the vaccine pass is not needed to access essential services such as supermarkets, pharmacies, health and disability services, food banks, petrol stations, public transportation, schools, housing and housing support services.
    ie not required for basically essential services, but required to enter places people wanted to do non essential things.

    Getting a reply to a post of untruths I guess is a win for a troll.... it will be an epic troll win if you can get the forum moderator formally known as Kelsey Grammer to send it to PD As well.

    My father died during the COVID restrictions and basically only myself my two kids, my partner, my brother, his partner and his kids plus my mother were allowed to attend the service
    Yet we seemed to be able to grasp and accept why this was the case better than a couple of pathetic narcissistic self-centred man babies, who were upset they couldn't do a few hobbies or non essential stuff without some basic precautions to keep other (at risk people) safe.
