– Have we protected the vulnerable with nuanced approaches – of just the old kiwi one size fits all approach? – Have we been buying and applying the best treatments – e.g. This is being “achieved” with a high vaccination rate and a less harmful strain that the early ones. – We are now 128th in the world for deaths per million and on the way to being above the world average (Australia now has a lower rate). – We are now 47th in the world for cases per million (we have just pushed ahead of the UK – another little dance?) – We are now 49th in the world for the most cases in a country (as a small – remote nation I found this astounding). I have always been one who thinks that you need to back up an opinion and was interested that no one in the room knew the current overall stats. The were pretty much re-stating Robertson’s “The best health response is also the best economic response.” I was very recently in a place of business and someone was telling a small audience that would should never forget Ardern’s/Bloomfield’s/Labour’s success with Covid. These arson attacks on indigenous communities are supposed retribution for the discovery of mass graves at residential schools.Good democracy and government truly relies on a well informed electorate.

The host of the program, Freddie Sayers, previously worked for Yougov, a polling institute founded by British deep state actor Nadhim Zahawi. In a 2021 documentary about a 'lockdown for the unvaccinated' in Austria, one of the interviewees selected was Ivan Krastev, a longtime protege of Soros. The Soros connection can be seen throughout its programs. This makes it a barely disguised part of Soros's extensive empire of faux opposition sites and organizations. UnHerd is funded by Sir Paul Marshall, a hedge fund partner of George Soros. We hope you find something that makes you think again.

But we instinctively believe that the way forward will be found through a shift of emphasis: towards community not just individualism, towards responsibilities as well as Rights, and towards meaning and virtue over shallow materialism. We are not aligned with any political party, and the writers and ideas we are interested in come from both left and right traditions. We want to be bold enough to identify those things that have been lost, as well as gained, by the liberal world order of the past thirty years but we strive to be always thoughtful rather than divisive. It’s easy and safe to be in one or other of these two camps – defensive liberal or angry reactionary - but UnHerd is trying to do something different, and harder. The governing ideologies of the past generation are too often either unquestioningly defended or rejected wholesale. Societies across the West are divided and stuck, and the established media is struggling to make sense of what’s happening. We think this approach is more needed than ever. As you may have guessed from our strange spelling, UnHerd aims to do two things: to push back against the herd mentality with new and bold thinking, and to provide a platform for otherwise unheard ideas, people and places.
