I'm wondering what the collective noun for experts is. Perhaps a "Plague of experts" ?

Other suggestions are welcomed, of course

A ring of arseholes?

I like ‘plague’. Alternatively a ‘conceit of experts’ or perhaps a ‘scare of experts’ in this case.

I do quite like "Conceit of Experts". I also thought of a "Dozen of Bakers", if you get my drift

On point Matua, Michael Baker is irrelevant and so yester-year.

Your last sentence sums it up nicely.

Thankyou for taking one for the team, and monitoring TyrannyTV so we dont have to, MK. This guy only shows up to flog his bestseller. Wonder what his commission is, and whether anyone is buying his BS anymore?

A grifter doing what a grifter does - pedal fear porn to keep himself relevant and his bank account happy. His lies will only work on the fearful, gullible and childish who are happy to be fooled and happy for someone else to tell them what to do.

Good afternoon Richard, I'm just tired of hearing him echo what the WHO says. Nothing he says seems to come from his own research - it's all just recycled propaganda.

I wonder if he and his family were all ‘vaccinated’?

That dweeb should have been jailed for his predatory abuser indiscretions in the 90s.

He doesn't do interviews that challenge the narrative.

I'm curious - what indiscretions? I have always felt there is something wrong with Michael Baker - maybe even something that is somewhat sad if you knew what the origin of it was.

No direct first hand knowledge (fortunately), but i recall some chaps discussing (1997ish) how the cops were investigating him for grooming or some event involving a 14 year old student (male I think). Palmy area.

The bowtie is him playing charades.

His linguistics are effusive, emotional and anti-science.

I have never heard him state a qualified fact, only fear-based word-salad, and rejection of any enquiry.

Someone actually messaged me about this today, but unfortunately, I don’t have any firsthand knowledge either - otherwise, I’d be the first to report on it.

I would imagine the nzp and academic institution records will have been sanitised by now, unless the victim comes forward...?

My intuition sees that twerp and tells me anything he says needs to be taken with a massive grain of salt, I mean if he turned up to baby-sit your grandkids would you even let him in the door? Bugger that!

Every subvariant is always more and more infectious. Nothing but fear. Give it a miss, we just dont believe you anymore. Obviously you only pop up when the university you are at needs more funding from Gates. The last sentence is the only response we feel for you.

Have you seen this?

Kids in NZ don't need these people to lobby on their behalf for clean air. We have clean air in New Zealand, what are they on about??? they are after more profits, more fear mongering and more giving up of our inalienable rights to make our own decisions about our health and what we consider to be a threat to our health and our children's lives. Go f*%k yourself indeed!!!

You'll notice Professor Michael Baker, and Dr Siouxsie Wiles are signatories on this, along with a bunch of others.

All of the organisations listed on this page will be profiting in some way from fearmongering and creating a problem that never existed in the first place.

I think I have just had it - caught it on a ferry from Picton to Wellington. And yes, it has been nasty - shivering, sweating and then the horrible symptoms of sore throat, blocked nose and terrible coughing. Not nice... but not life threatening. In the early days, Covid was a killer. No longer. Baker is just trying to stay relevant... and failing miserably.

Yep he can fuck off! I’d like to know how many people in that Labour Government applied for an exclusion to avoid the anti covid poison?
