! Peter Moody Phone 021 927 037 E: [email protected] For all your flooring needs. OPINION Ah, the joys of doing the Pinkie. The subject of Covid and the anti-vaxxers has brought something out of the woodwork, although I am none too sure what it is that came out. Electronic Version I haven’t had so much fun since someone left a turd in my letter box when I was living in Woodbank Road and Each week we will send you a constantly carping about the dirt the developers were reminder to click on raising at the expense of the street’s clean washing. Someone has taken it upon themself to keep me informed htp://thepinkie.co.nz/ of anti-vax disinformation and has been doing a regular drop in my letterbox of a pamphlet produced by an organisation calling themselves Voices for Freedom. Cover: Frosty Morning Window The leafets are probably preferable to a turd but only marginally, they also qualify as crap. Photos this issue Richard Tapper, The leafet is the same one that was canned by the historical archives, Advertising Standards Authority this week. The ASA is also now investigating two other leafets circulated by the same group, including one which questions the effcacy of masks. Voices for Freedom co-founder Claire Deeks said she strongly disagreed with the ASA decision and the group If You Want to Have would “proceed undeterred with its plans” for future leafet campaigns. The group estimated over 1.7 million of Something included in the leafets had been printed and distributed throughout the country. The Pinkie This leafet says vaccine companies are exempt from liability — Misleading and in breach of the advertising Please email it to code.The leafet claims the vaccine doesn’t stop you getting Covid — Misleading, there is a mountain of data [email protected] showing very clearly the vaccine prevent ‘almost all’ infection. The leafet states, and I have also been told that 0274 337 420 animals in corona virus vaccine trials became very sick when exposed to the virus.— Misleading, the trials they refer to were not relevant because they were given a Contact Details different kind of vaccine. They also claim the vaccine will [email protected] cause cancer, sterility or mutate cells. — Misleading and Richard Tapper completely unsubstantiated. They also claim that Medsafe had concerns about damage to DNA and auto immunity. — This was a twisting of words from a report and what 0274 337420 they claim is unsubstantiated. Their claim that deaths and Deadline for material including advertising is 5 serious injury had resulted from the vaccine “at an pm Sunday alarming rate” is completely unsubstantiated. What Voices Opinions expressed herein are not necessarily for Freedom has done is take all medical events that have those of the editor or publisher occurred globally since vaccination began and blamed them on the vaccines. I am wondering why my phantom mailbox stuffer has taken to providing me with over a dozen examples of this The Pinkie is published by same leafet. Perhaps it is on the Trumpian principle that if Hanmer Springs Village News Ltd you tell someone the same lie enough times they will end Richard Tapper up believing it against their own better judgement. This leafet and other spurious claims that have been [email protected] aimed in this direction only serve to convince me that I have a moral obligation to speak out to the contrary. 20.Who played Gandhi in the film of the same trivia.
