Bransgrove’s Threatening Video and Demands

In the two-minute and 23-second video rant, Bransgrove called on the Prime Minister, Covid-19 Response Minister, and Director-General of Health to “cease and desist” in the rollout of the vaccine to 5-11-year-olds. She urged fellow anti-vaxxers, referred to as “the resistance”, to organize and prepare to monitor schools daily so they could attack vaccination buses when they turned up.

“We do everything we can to stand in the way of you injecting this poison into our children. We will rip the bribes from your hands, we will slash your tyres, and we will remove the poison from the truck. This is not inciting violence, this is inciting self-defence, especially for our youngest people,” Bransgrove said.

Agencies Investigating the Matter

Multiple agencies, including the Ministry of Health, Police, ACC, and the Nursing Council, are investigating the matter. ACC has distanced itself from Bransgrove’s views, stating that they “in no way condone threats of violence under any circumstances”. The Ministry of Health has expressed concern over the situation.

Bransgrove’s Stance and Responses

Bransgrove, who has been taking part in Voices for Freedom events in Dunedin, claimed she did not care if she lost her job as she believed she would be on the right side of history. When asked about the safety and efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccine, she dismissed the vast majority of experts, both in New Zealand and globally, who have deemed the vaccine safe and effective.

“This is not about health, this is about control, this is about totalitarianism,” Bransgrove said. She also claimed there were many others similarly concerned by the vaccine and terrified to speak out.
