SIR ASHLEY CALLS PANDEMICS 'SECURITY THREAT'

 

The tyrannical regime of Jacinda 'Jackboot' Ardern was apparently not quite Hitlerish enough to satisfy 'our dear Dr Bloomfield' (as he was known to a certain demographic). Sir Ashley Bloomfield is still courted and admired, it seems, by New Zealand's medical profession, who've given him a platform in the Medical Journal to advance his notion that the next pandemic should be treated as a threat to national security. 

Bloomfield hasn't lost his proclivity for hyping people up - and he does it so demurely. He's found a different epidemiologist, thank God for small mercies, as who could bear to see the owlish Michael Baker trotted out again? Bloomfield and a certain Professor David Murdoch now claim there's a sense of 'collective global amnesia' about the Covid episode. Really??? Clearly they depend on the mainstream media for their information. Because X (Twitter) and Facebook positively seethe with Kiwis vowing they will never forget. 

Bloomfield and Murdoch don't get daily reminders of Covid like US critical care specialist Pierre Kory's suspicion that a spike in medical carelessness resulting in a sudden rise in serious falls in hospitals - are caused by cognitive decline (brain fog) in medical professionals, who are the most heavily v^xxed sub-population in the US. Or the 'died suddenlys' like QantasLink pilot Harrison Edward Allchin, 30, who died on the Gold Coast on October 13. Or that Pharmac has invited proposals for supplying COVID-19 v^ccines in the “Aotearoa New Zealand subsidised market” including a booster for “pregnant people” (sic), the disabled, obese and mentally ill.

Does that sound to you like eugenics? And Bloomfield wants such evil machinations to be protected, in the next pandemic, by New Zealand's "security apparatus". Sounds like the closure of Ardern's propaganda machine, the Disinformation Project early this month might have been premature...

Was this the biggest lie Ardern ever told?

In the latest edition of the NZ Medical Journal, former Ministry of Health employee, Ashley Bloomfield, who was head of our health system during the pandemic, has written a paper called "Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response: Are We Better off Now than Pre-COVID?".

 

The paper seems to argue that Kiwis are now better off. The authors seem to have missed something called the "cost-of-living-crisis", which has seen GDP per capita - that is, Kiwis personal incomes - decline more over the past several years than even during the Global Financial Crisis. That decline is directly attributable to policies implemented during the pandemic that never traded off economic & health outcomes. The underfunding of our health system happening now is collateral damage.

 

Bloomfield argues the pandemic showed the need for "Rapid, highly co-ordinated cross-government leadership & decision-making". Is he referring to a "need" to suspend Parliament to quicken decision-making and suppress opposing voices? Is he alluding to a need to bring the Main Stream Media into the government fold to quicken the "coordination" process so the public all hear the same line?

 

The main argument of his paper is that next time round the response must be implemented as "one of national security". He repeats the line, over and over, "that pandemics should be considered primarily as a security threat rather than simply a health threat". Planning "should be owned & led by the country’s security apparatus, currently based in the Department of the PM and Cabinet". Pandemics are "a fundamental aspect of national security". New Zealand must view pandemics "through a security lens".

 

Is Sir Ashley aware of the majority of New Zealanders' feelings about how the pandemic morphed from a health issue into one in which the government insisted on removing civil liberties and locking down entire cities, like Auckland, even right into 2022?

 

Is he aware of the strength of feeling against former PM Ardern by huge swathes of the country? She has practically become persona non grata in NZ, and lives in exile (an over-reaction by many Kiwis, it must be said).

 

Is Sir Ashley aware Labour lost the election last year since people rejected the overbearing, all-of-government control over their lives during the pandemic? The swing against Labour was biggest in Auckland, which was locked down the most.

 

'Our dear Dr Bloomfield'

 

Is he arguing for even more forceful government intervention next time around? When he refers to a nation's "security apparatus", one presumes he means our Armed Forces & Security Intelligence Service (SIS). The equivalent in the US is the CIA, in Israel Mossad and Shin Bet, in Russia the KGB, and in the UK MI5 and MI6, together with those nations' militaries.

 

My father, a retired general practitioner, showed me written orders that were sent to GPs in NZ at the time of the pandemic, ordering them what they were allowed to say, and not to say, about Covid and safety of the vaccine. Their own views became irrelevant. Failure to toe the Party Line could have meant losing one's licence to practise. Nurses & health practitioners who didn't want to take the vaccine lost their jobs.

 

New Zealanders who held Kiwi passports were not allowed back into their own country. Kiwis lost their civil liberties.

Isn't it odd to argue, after all these searing controversies that marked the beginnings of terrible cracks & divides in NZ Society, tearing us apart like never before, and culminating in the occupation of Parliament, that "the next" pandemic should involve an even bigger, stronger, more forceful government intervention that we experienced in 2020, 2021 & 2022?

That next time the full might of NZ's "security apparatus" should be thrown at the "security threat" posed by pandemics, since they endanger our "national security"? That we must declare an All-of-Government-Response, Total-War, and Full-Mobilization, regardless of non-health related consequences? Can't the cure become worse than the disease? Doesn't freedom count for anything in such times?

Not, it seems, to Sir Ashley. https://www.bassettbrashandhide.com/post/rob-macculloch-is-sir-ashley-bloomfield-arguing-in-the-nz-medical-journal-that-this-nation-s
