Comment:Is this the post Covid world?
Date published: 5:33 pm, September 11th, 2021TBH, I really don't care about the devastating effects on the unvaccinated when they're that way by choice. I care about the way they're likely to spread it to those that can't be vaccinated (which in NZ means under-12s and a very few others), and those ...

Comment:Is this the post Covid world?
Date published: 11:16 am, September 11th, 2021Congratulations. You actually are aware of one of the contraindications. Now, do you have any idea of the prevalence of individuals with that contraindication? With respect to pregnant women, in New Zealand the vaccine isn't recommended for pregnant women ...

Comment:Is this the post Covid world?
Date published: 10:37 am, September 11th, 2021You haven't given any clarity on who is unable to be vaccinated. Hint: for the Pfizer vaccine it's a very very small group numbering at most double digits per million. The AstraZeneca (approved in NZ) and Novavax (likely to be approved very soon in NZ) ...

Date published: 10:19 am, September 11th, 2021I recommend thoroughly checking any assertions made by Morrissey that might influence you. His reliability isn't the greatest. For instance, here's just one of the first hits on looking for the origin of the term "redneck": https://slate.com/culture/2019/...

Date published: 10:12 am, September 11th, 2021... let the public health system take the weight permanently... When that happens and if the health system gets overwhelmed because the pandemic of the unvaccinated hits hard, then the vaccine-refuser covid-infected should be first on the list to get ...

Date published: 9:50 am, September 11th, 2021Who is unable to be vaccinated, and how many of them are there likely to be in New Zealand? What are the contraindications for the current Pfizer vaccine, and do those contraindications apply to any of the other vaccines, such as the Novavax that is likely...

Date published: 8:30 am, September 11th, 2021Just went to look at mine - I've three of them. The earliest entry is smallpox that I got in 1965 as a six-month old. As far as I can tell for the travel my family had planned at the time, smallpox, yellow fever, and cholera were hard requirements. No jab,...

Date published: 8:16 am, September 11th, 2021Bring on the vaccine mandates for New Zealand. I don't want to ever be anywhere near anyone that is such an antisocial arsehole that they refuse to take a readily available, very safe, very effective, and free precaution against becoming the mutant-variant...

Date published: 5:02 pm, September 7th, 2021Oh my. If the strong trial evidence ivermectin doesn't work is unconvincing, and reason that antiviral concentrations are impossible to actually achieve in humans doesn't persuade people to not take ivermectin, maybe this will: However, a recent report ...

Comment:Open mike 07/09/2021
Date published: 2:50 pm, September 7th, 2021"no evidence to support" is indeed the common professional phrase almost universally used within the profession. But when there is in fact strong evidence that something is ineffective, such as the evidence ivermectin is ineffective against covid, ...

Date published: 2:11 pm, September 7th, 2021Yeah, pretty slick operation with a positive friendly vibe all around. I'd expect nothing less from secret conspiracists trying to hide the truth that they're all in thrall to shapeshifting reptilian alien overlords trying to control our minds.

Date published: 1:34 pm, September 7th, 2021How'd it go? Got mine this arvo at the old Appliance Shed building. Just a couple minutes wait inside, no queues at all. Quickest jab ever. I swear, she nailed me with that harpoon and delivered the payload before the swab even hit the rubbish bin. Only ...

Date published: 10:46 am, September 7th, 2021I gotta admit, I kinda get frustrated by the usual wording of "no evidence supports". It makes it sound like it's still a completely open unresearched question. The actual situation with respect to ivermectin is that there have been two large scale well-...

Date published: 10:16 am, September 7th, 2021Have you enough independent thought of your own to give us a brief tl;dr in your own words? Y'know, a few hints as to the topic etc. Rather than just dropping a (frankly seriously dodgy-looking propaganda) link as a bit of flame-bait?

Date published: 7:33 pm, September 6th, 2021Gezza, if you want to link to a comment elsewhere on The Standard and just have it appear as a naked link, just make sure there's some text in the same line as the link. Even just a full stop before the link does the trick. For instance, here's one of your...

Date published: 5:53 pm, September 6th, 2021There was an element of suspicion the Christchurch fuckwit was a glory-hound, in his own perverted demented way. Hence his live-streaming. Not using his name is a minor means of denying him the twisted recognition he craved. With our New Lynn fuckwit, ...

Date published: 4:10 pm, September 6th, 2021No, the table with green, yellow and red backgrounds about halfway back up to the start of the page from where the goose's link (comment 9) opens. It purportedly shows vaccination rates for Maori and Pasifika split out by age group, DHB, and first and ...

Comment:Seymour undermines vaccine roll out for Maori
Date published: 3:59 pm, September 6th, 2021The goose might be looking at the brightly coloured table partway down that page.

Comment:Seymour undermines vaccine roll out for Maori
Date published: 3:39 pm, September 6th, 2021Older vaccinated people are still at higher risk when they live with and/or have a lot of contact with younger unvaccinated people. This extra vulnerability gets reduced when those younger people they live with get vaccinated. I'm under the impression ...

Date published: 8:04 pm, September 5th, 2021I don't think the trajectory of our health care industry over those thirty years makes a good argument for the quality of his advocacy. I've seen plenty of deep-seated long-lasting systemic issues attempt to get improved. Even when the underlying problems ...

Date published: 7:09 pm, September 5th, 2021Yes, there is a good argument for beefing up our health system. But that good argument doesn't come from comparison with Cuba. Nor does it come from the very rare and specific circumstances of a pandemic disease potentially getting into our population ...

Date published: 4:17 pm, September 5th, 2021Well, yeah. But I kinda suspect that opportunity for customer-to-staff transmission is kinda low, compared to customer-to-customer and staff-to-customer. If a customer is infected, they could spend quite a long time waiting in a queue with the same people ...

Comment:Open mike 05/09/2021
Date published: 3:28 pm, September 5th, 2021I'm very curious about how many transmissions to customers are believed to have occurred at those locations of interest after the lockdown started. Further, if any transmissions occurred, how many were staff-to-customer and how many were customer-to-...
