I love the way you say things, how you write with such patience. It's difficult for me to show much patience with extremists of any form. And as David said below, it is super-confounding.

Comparing the people that marched to white supremacists, are in fact very radical and divisive. Why? Is your commentary based on any actual facts from any of the people that were present? No, it’s completely biased. As a senior Covid-19 expert, internationally acknowledged, I can tell you, some of those people are very up to date, on actual data and reports or papers concerning the vaccinations.

I for one, was asked to critique the Moderna vaccination, for 6-11 years old, internationally by Covid-19 peers.

Some that marched, as well aware of my critique. Some are waiting for the Novavax vaccination. Did you know Ardern sent out letters to employers, to tell employees there is no longer any medical exemption for people?
