WELLINGTON, New Zealand (LifeSiteNews) — New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern admitted that her new COVID restrictions plan will lead to unvaccinated people becoming second-class citizens with fewer freedoms that vaccinated people.
Ardern made the admission during an interview with the NZ Herald on Friday, discussing the new “traffic light system” of restrictions that will eliminate almost all lockdowns for vaccinated people once the country hits 90% vaccination rates in every region. The new system will impose much tougher restrictions on unvaccinated citizens, while vaccinated people will be able to enjoy more of the freedoms the government took about 18 months ago.
New Zealand has one of the lowest rates of COVID deaths per capita in the world with only 28 deaths and fewer than 6,000 cases since March 2020, in a country of some 5 million people.
When NZ Herald’s deputy political editor, Derek Cheng, commented that this new system appears to be creating two separate classes of citizens and ventured that Ardern probably did not look at it this way, the New Zealand Prime Minister confirmed that this is in fact what the system is meant to do.
