NITV Unacceptable.

NITV never do vaccine Cure of COVID-19 is EGCG + zinc. take 2 tablets of EGCG and 2 or 4 tablets of zinc a day for 14 days or longer. After 10 days It will be better to eat with iodine . And drink a lot of water. Be careful with zinc, no more than 100mg a day.

NITV The Nationals want end lockdown in country NSW

NITV Disappointing but inevitable it will touch everyone...

NITV Is the Western government on my land doing the best for my people as they do for their own? History says they haven't since illegally seizing control from us!

NITV Covid got someone where I live also…The guy had heart failure,kidney failure,liver failure,lung failure diabetes and high blood pressure and cancer…When will we finally defeat this terrible virus..

NITV If people had followed the health orders this would not be happening They have themselves to blame like everyone else.

NITV Not died, they were killed from the negligence and indifference of Morrison and Berejiklian.
