Anti-vaccine activist Sue Grey, a lawyer who failed to contest and stop the government's Covid-19 vaccine rollout earlier in the year and many other times, has been banned from Facebook for seven days, according to a statement released by her counterpart Alan Simmons.
The two are co-leaders of New Zealand Outdoors Party, which has grown a presence for spreading misinformation surrounding the virus and pandemic for their own failed grifting regime.

Simmons released a statement to his personal Facebook page detailing that his counterpart was removed from the platform for seven days. She was previously banned from the platform for three days in September.
Sam Hudson, thisquality editor, contacted Grey on Sunday afternoon (November 28) after 1pm to ask a few questions about why she was temporarily removed from the platform. She did not answer her phone twice.
It is understood that her account would have limitations to prevent her from posting, live streaming or commenting.
Shortly after Simmons was called to find out if Grey was available to answer a few questions surrounding her removal. She allegedly actioned to end the call without providing a comment.

Grey has a history of claiming people have died due to the vaccine. On one occasion, she'd intentionally spread misinformation about the death of a Year 13 student — it is understood the student died due to a heart condition, and it was not related or linked to vaccination.
In New Zealand, there's only one death linked to vaccination. It is believed to be due to vaccine induced myocarditis, which is awaiting the Coroner's determination.
Forty-seven other deaths are unlikely related to the vaccine, while forty-seven deaths could not be assessed due to insufficient information. Eight more are under investigation.
As at 11:59pm on November 28, 7,462,890 total first and second doses were administered around the country. 3,878,887 are first doses and 3,584,003 are second doses.

Simmons set up a dangerous and sketchy register to report ‘government paid trolls’ with the intention to doxx innocent people who correct misinformation spread by the political party, its members, and co-leaders.
He made a post on an alternative far-right social media platform that thisquality wishes not to disclose, promoting a sketchy backlink on the register's website.
Data obtained through Domain Name Commission New Zealand, which provides details about who owns a website or domain, says oursay.co.nz is registered and owned by Simmons.
People are encouraged to report pages spreading misinformation on the social media platform. Alternatively, reports can be made to the following below:
