Experts tell Kiwis to get their Covid mRNA boosters

COVID booster rates in NZ declining

An alleged rise in Covid-19 cases in New Zealand is being linked to falling booster coverage, with health bureaucrats reporting “50 hospitalisations” and “19 deaths” involving the virus over a single week.

Public health specialists told state media the country is now in its “ninth Covid wave”, with booster uptake sitting at just 56 percent of those eligible, while significant numbers remain completely unvaccinated, particularly among Māori.

General Practice New Zealand chair Dr Bryan Betty says weakening immunity is allowing new waves to emerge year-round, arguing annual boosters should become routine, especially for older and higher-risk groups, and ideally be given alongside flu shots before winter.

Health authorities say infections and hospital admissions are rising but remain below earlier peaks, with no single variant dominating, while reduced testing means many cases are only being detected once patients reach hospital.



Officials are continuing to track spread through wastewater surveillance, hospital admissions, genomic sequencing and reported cases, while urging vulnerable people to update both flu and Covid vaccinations and stay home when unwell.

  1. These corrupt pharma paid ‘experts’ need to be prosecuted for bribery and acts against the People!
    We had enough of them! With their help Godzone has been impoverished.
    Yes, impoverished. Just because the big corporations are still milking the county does not mean that GDP is generated by the people.
    Why are these ‘experts’ not advising the People how to live healthy, with good food, maybe a veggie patch, getting enough sun on their skin (Vit D), and avoiding the pharma poisons that promise to fix lard-a*ses ailments. You are what you eat.
    And all ‘governed’ by a bunch of lard-a*ses themselves.

    • Amen. There’s a court case currently taking place in Switzerland to sue Bill Gates for the mrna death weapons. It’s been long proven they weren’t vaccines but bio weapons.
      And that information is being given by REAL experts.

  2. Well, look up Dr Bryan Betty and Immunologist Michael Baker, what they look like and where they live so when you run into them you can thank them personally for their services to the people.
    Have walks around Porirua and Brooklyn, Wellington.

  3. New Zealand has become the one of the world’s most corrupt countries.
    Politicians, judicial, cops and medical authority – all corrupted.

    • 100%

      Why did I land revenue allow a company to get into such dire arrears it owed them 57 million and now the director is a beneficiary! Meanwhile little Joe bloggs gets penalised when they file the GST 1 day late!

      We are corrupt as hell

  4. “General Practice New Zealand chair Dr Bryan Betty says weakening immunity is allowing new waves to emerge year-round, arguing annual boosters should become routine, especially for older and higher-risk groups, and ideally be given alongside flu shots before winter.”
    Doesn’t he and Baker realise that it’s the boosters and initial 2 jabs that have caused people’s immune systems to fail?
    How can we rely on these “experts “ to be telling us the truth when we know of their past failures? I certainly wouldn’t be listening to any of their advice!

  5. It’s as though the entire NZ government and a large amount of the population are incredibly and stupidly to the point of being dangerous, DUMB.

    • It’s no surprise as many of the people worldwide who have been studying the effects of the jab are telling us that it’s affecting peoples brains. Bottom line is that many, if not most, of those who took the jab are suffering from brain damage.
      It’s clear to see when you look at the current polls and see that Hipkins and Liebour are leading.
      Hipkins, yeah that guy who said he was going to ‘hunt down’ the unjabbed.
      The fact that he’s leading the polls and not in jail proves the majority of the country are brain damaged by the jab.
      This doesn’t give a pass to National or the Looneys (Greens) as they were all complicit with the CV hoax.

    • I am reminded of the famous line, “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

    • What a coincidence…!
      “In politics, nothing happens by chance. If it happens, it was planned that way!” – US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
      “Never let a good disaster go to waste!” – US President Bill Clinton
      If the New Zealand voting public still votes for the Uni-Party, then maybe they get everything they deserve, including the deadly ‘boosters’..and the latest iPhone powered by 5G & 6G that interacts with their injected nano-tech.!

  6. Anyone comes near me with any ‘vaccine’ I’ll regard it as a deadly weapon and will defend myself accordingly, as my Dad would say… this is HOGWASH.

  7. Line ’em both up and be sure they have THE jab and THE boosters, not some fake saline item.
    Prob have to hold them down.

  8. Let the immune system do its job which is proven to be superior to a vac that causes more issues than it solves. Dr John Campbell on yt has the advise by actual experts of what vitamins you need to fight the virus.He regrets getting vac’d & lost friends & family (won’t talk to him) due to him saying it was safe when it was anything but

  9. I would argue, I have the antibiotic in my body.

    I was never injected. I got covid. My body healed itself.

    Today, the majority know its a bio wepon. Selective as there were about 2100 variants.

    Are the politicians completely out of touch?

    If politicians think this next round is going to be walk in the park, they might just find out just how anoying and costly a furious population can be. .

    My body, my choice.
