She was one of the protestors in Wellington, New Zealand
The woman believes her husband is going to die from the jab
An anti-vaxxer in New Zealand has said she is leaving her husband because he got a booster shot, as the country deals with protest rallies against the vaccine mandate.
"I’m leaving my husband. He got the booster today. He’s gone. I don’t want anything to do with him," the unidentified woman told a local news outlet, 1 News.
The video of the interview she gave on national news soon went viral on TikTok, and has fetched more than 61 k views.
The video shows the woman, one of the protestors in New Zealand's capital city of Wellington, saying she is ready to sacrifice anything to stand with her anti-vaccine belief. The woman then announces she is going to leave her vaccinated husband as she thinks he is going to die from the jab.
"I honestly seriously believe he is going to die – that’s getting off-topic," she added, The Advertiser reported.
During the interview, the woman further said: "I will die for my grandchildren today."
Meanwhile, the video sparked heated discussion on social media, and many people came in support of the woman's vaccinated husband.
"I've heard of some minor negative side effects from the booster, this is the first I've heard of a positive side effect," a viewer joked. Some viewers also sympathized with the husband, who has possibly learned about the divorce through the national news. "Imagine her husband sitting in front of the tv at 7 with his cup of tea and finds out his miss divorced him on national tv," a viewer said.
Some others opined the vaccine mandate has segregated the country. "Government is tearing the country apart," a viewer said.
The video became sensational amid the anti-vaccine protest that blocked streets near the parliament in central Wellington on Tuesday. The demonstration was modeled on the "freedom convoy" in Canada, with thousands of trucks and campervans blocking the streets to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates and tough coronavirus restrictions in the country.
According to reports, two cops were injured during the protest that resulted in the arrest of 120 people, who were charged on counts of trespassing and obstruction.
New Zealand, with a population of five million, has reported around 18,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 53 deaths, since the beginning of the pandemic.
