Kate Hawkesby: Time to drop the fearmongering epidemiologists
I’m just wondering if, when the PM announces they’re dropping mandates and vaccine passes, they could also drop the scaremongering epidemiologists?
Seriously, can we please retire them?
The hysteria is over, the peak is passing, in the grand total of two years of this pandemic, fewer than ten percent of New Zealanders actually caught Covid, many more had their lives disrupted and damaged in ways some may never get over. We need to draw a line in the sand.
I’d love to know if the hysterical headlines are still getting the clicks. Is anyone even interested in reading or hearing from these guys…
