Jacinda Ardern Visibly Angry As New Zealand High Courts End Some Of Her Vaccine Mandates

After several weeks of protestors camping outside the New Zealand parliament building in Wellington, the High Courts ruled to end some of Jacinda Ardern’s mandates.

Though many alternative outlets have made it sound like every single Covid vaccine mandate was stymied, edicts centered against the Police and Defence Force employees, nevertheless, have been thrown out with the Court stating they were an ‘unjustified incursion on the Bill of Rights,’ wrote the New Zealand Herald.

Justice Francis Cooke further stated that these workers facing termination was not a “reasonably justified” breach of the Bill of Rights.

The Herald wrote, ‘The lawyer for the police and Defence staff at the centre of the claim is now calling for the suspended workers to return to their jobs immediately, saying many have given decades of service to their community and are still committed to their jobs.’

As of February 24th, ‘164 of the overall police workforce of nearly 15,700 were affected by the mandate after choosing not to be vaccinated. For NZDF, the mandate affected 115 of its 15,500 staff.’

The group that composed of members of the Defense force and police who challenged these mandates, are reported to have relied on the right to decline a medical procedure and religious liberties, per the Kiwi Bill of Rights.

Those who leaned on the religious element cited evidence that the Pfizer vaccine was cultured on a fetus cells derived from a baby. Justice Cooke heard their plight, but still had some reservations when it came to broader religious freedom, stating:

An obligation to receive the vaccine which a person objects to because it has been tested on cells derived from a human foetus, potentially an aborted foetus, does involve a limitation on the manifestation of a religious belief.

I do not accept that a belief in an individual’s bodily integrity and personal autonomy is a religious belief or practice. Rather it seems to me, in the circumstances of this case, to be a belief in the secular concept referred to in section 11 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act.

The associated pressure to surrender employment involves a limit on the right to retain that employment, which the above principles suggest can be thought of as an important right or interest recognised not only in domestic law, but in the international instruments.

In essence, the order mandating vaccinations for police and NZDF staff was imposed to ensure the continuity of the public services, and to promote public confidence in those services, rather than to stop the spread of Covid-19. Indeed health advice provided to the government was that further mandates were not required to restrict the spread of Covid-19. I am not satisfied that continuity of these services is materially advanced by the order.

Covid-19 clearly involves a threat to the continuity of police and NZDF services. That is because the Omicron variant in particular is so transmissible. But that threat exists for both vaccinated and unvaccinated staff. I am not satisfied that the order makes a material difference, including because of the expert evidence before the court on the effects of vaccination on Covid-19 including the Delta and Omicron variants.

Reacting to the decision, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was visibly not a happy camper. According to her, she said there were already four other challenges to mandates and all were previously upheld. She says this was one of the last few mandates instigated by the government, to “make sure there was business continuity.” Smiling and slightly giggling, Ardern points out that the courts essentially only reversed this edict because the Defence force and police already had very high vaccination rates.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

Proverbs 28:15

Looks like Ardern did not get that Barbie doll she wanted for her birthday.

As psychopathic creature she is, she can still jest because there is only a small amount of people left who remain unvaccinated: they had already hit their arbitrary target number of 70-80% a while ago.

Ardern and the government made it clear from day one that freedom was not coming back until practically everyone got shot up with this. So, do not celebrate: they are not done, especially with the Covid war to return (or some new pandemic) to emerge in a few months time. Protests or not, their decision to retract the mandate makes little difference in the grand scheme.

The part that still annoys me, not just with the Kiwis, but the Aussies, Canadians, Americans, Brits, French, Italians, etc.; is, it took you THIS long to finally go out and stand up to the rhetoric? Where were you for the last two years, as they stampeded your freedoms as you voluntarily let them!?

As for these religious exemptions, the person who has understanding can see how heavy persecution and imprisonment against Christians will be brought in, as liberty of conscience is not part of the new paradigm.

[10] But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, [11] Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. [12] Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. [13] But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

2 Timothy 3:10-13

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
