New Zealand used to do yearly telethons and it was very hard to keep away from them. It was a big thing with my mother (bless her) who loved that sort of fake appeal to the community spirit (while the elites shat on it at the same time). I’d have to add though that they were less of a ‘thing’ when Jacinda Ardern was growing up so I’m not sure who the idiot is* that came up with the latest incarnation which the murderous morons who run this Labour Government have labelled a ‘vaxathon’. The same are referring to today as ‘Super Saturday’ which is very American sounding to my ears.
It is of course cringeworthy at some level. But considering the large number of excess deaths being reported in places like Britain & Germany, completely unrelated to Covid-19 virus but maybe not so unrelated to the vaccine, then there is also a level of sinister involved as well. Every pharmacy in NZ gets a $1,000 bonus for being open for vaccinations today. If they wern’t before then they should by know now…
