Just in case anyone was wondering, the new case breakdown for last week was: there were 311 eligible but unvaccinated new cases, there were 30 eligible but unvaccinated new hospitalisations. Cumulative totals in August outbreak are 1443 cases, 168 ...

I find it surprising that kaumatua haven't been more influential in raising the vaccination rates among rangatahi. In most aspects of maori culture, respect for the elderly and their wisdom really seems to be a thing, as far as I can tell.
How would you know? It doesn't appear you've taken a critical look at any of the material you've posted.
A long time ago as a recent immigrant youngster trying to get my head around different kinds of football, I had it explained as "rugby is a game of gentlemen pretending to be thugs, soccer is a game of thugs pretending to be gentlemen, and rugby league is ...
Rosemary. if you want to get your protection from covid by ... getting covid, go right ahead. When you do that though, how about trying to do the decent thing and keep it to yourself rather than spreading it around to others that aren't as pro-disease as ...
The first step is to look at the source info someone is basing their argument from. If someone has clearly omitted relevant parts and taken parts out of context, as Berenson has, then they are trying to mislead the gullible. That method helps weed out some...
Considering the effect on our medical system and the cost to treat covid patients, even if that $120 million only gets 20,000 people jabbed at $6000 apiece, it will still be money well spent. It's just that what I know of how at least one well-regarded ...
Guessing from the comments, it would appear the author attracts a more than slightly kooky audience. A quick google finds that Alex Berenson has indeed been called "the pandemic's wrongest man". Moving on to what he's actually written, Berenson notably ...
So how is that concerning? Even if maintaining protection means a booster every six months, it just doesn't seem like a big deal. Certainly a lot better than getting the disease. Checking my yellow book, rabies and Hep B were three jabs spread over six ...
Whether it's smart or not depends on the ratio of potential supporters that get alienated by stronger pro-vaccination actions versus potential supporters alienated by being kept in lockdown longer due to the timidity shown towards vaccine refusers. I'm ...
That it's still possible for a vaccinated person to catch covid from a breakthrough case, even though it's much much less likely to happen, is not an argument against vaccination or any kind of justification for vaccine refusal. Nor is the fact that a ...
That indeed seems to be what is happening. But that's a slow, uncertain and low-visibility process that carries risks for those businesses. It's also a cowardly abdication of government responsibility to outsource it like that.
Who are those UK double-vaxxed hospital patients getting it from? Vaxxed or unvaxxed contacts? Notably, the UK experience contrasts with the US experience, where fully vaccinated covid patients in hospitals are extremely rare.
Unless we get the vaccination rate up things are going to get rough. Indeed. So why is this government so timid and feeble about using its powers to lift the vaccination rate? $120 million to Maori health providers is a worthy step, but looking at Hokianga...
Oooh, micky is probably in need of some serious burn cream since he's in two of the boxes you've just torched.
mmmm ... eating lambshanks, mash, peas and a redwine jus in a restaurant ... I vaguely remember doing stuff like that in the distant past. I'd like to be allowed to do it again someday ...
I've tried a beard once in my life. Stuck it out for about four months. The itching drove me bonkers, and it really wasn't any good at storing breakfast leftovers for morning tea. Never been tempted to try it again.
Given that there's real world data showing that the few vaxed people that end up getting infected transmit less than unvaxed infected people, the exact reasons why seem kinda pointlessly theoretical. Nevertheless, there are issues around viral loads deeper...
Given that the decision to refuse almost certainly came before choosing a reason for the refusal, getting a different vaccine will mostly only catch those with a sense of embarrassment about their bluff getting called. A sense of embarrassment seems to be ...
It appears that there is real world data to say that the few vaccinated people that get covid are then less likely to pass it on. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y or a much more readable report of the same study: https://www.nbcnews.com/...
That would also quickly result in a medical system overwhelmed with unvaccinated covid patients. To the point that people needing care for anything else could very well miss out. Unless the government were to also issue explicit instructions that ...
There is a simple, but so significant, difference between vaccination status and apartheid that it makes the comparison ludicrous. Anyone finding that consequences of their unvaccinated status are becoming uncomfortable can get vaccinated at any time, and ...
Aww. Somebody wants a nice cuddly fluffy echo-chamber where they're protected from hearing other people's actual opinions. (Actually somewhat sanitised to reduce moderator workload). Soz that I'm spoiling it for you. Idiot.
What do you suggest needs to be done differently to lift vaccination rates. Specific suggestions please, not some kind of whines about how peoples fee-fees and reckons aren't being adequately coddled. Polite and respectful has been done. Softly softly ...
Hone has been active in setting up roadblocks. So that's doing something to try to keep covid out of Northland. I haven't seen anything suggesting he's been active in trying to lift vaccination rates.
Smug sanctimonoius reckons from the wops of Southland that haven't been suffering through what Auckland has had for the last nine weeks and will continue for the foreseeable future really aren't useful at this point. What do you suggest to do differently ...
I've done a ton of listening. And learned that some people think their feels and reckons and whatever imaginings they come up with under the influence of whatever is more valid than actual facts and evidence and repeatable controlled testing. Unpersuadable...
While I support trying to make vaccinations easier and more convenient by bringing the vaccinations closer to people, I really doubt it will actually make much difference. My acquaintances that I know that have so far refused the vaccination have plenty of...
What do you think might be a successful way to persuade some idiot to get vaccinated? It's a genuine question. I've spent many hours already talking to a few vaccine hesitants (politely and respectfully, which is no doubt going to be surprising to readers ...
Some call those vaccine refusing cops, teachers, "healthcare workers" quitting a catastrophe. I call it improving our community.
