Expert advice is that getting Covid repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage. Each infection raises your risk of long Covid and serious complications.
This is unacceptable.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Climate crisis’s final boss: completely destroying our rivers to create a dairy industry only to burn even more fuel to bring butter over from America whose weapons are completely destroying the the ecological systems elsewhere.
This is the best economic system the smart people could come up with.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Covid didn't go anywhere.
It's still here, evolving.
Unlike the opinions and understandings of those that think vaccines are the problem.
Both of them will result in the vulnerable dying.
Science isn't the problem.

Immigration Minister Erica Stanford apologises after inflating overstayer figures
The government has been accused of scaremongering about overstayer numbers after Erica Stanford told reporters there were "tens of thousands more" than she had expected last month.
Is there anything coming from the lips of any CoC govt minister that isn’t a lie? With the level of ‘misspeaking’ occurring this week if it’s not lying it’s gross incompetence #nzpol

Not too sure any of the countries allied to the US and in the middle east noticed how Iran managed to nail multiple targets as a result of the warmongering of Israel and the US.
This is not going to end well for anyone.

Fuck Israel.
Launching 'preventative' strikes on Iran seems like a convenient way to start a war that drags the Middle East into a conflict no-one wins.

None of our business.
Good on her, she has no obligation to us now.

I can't say it loud enough - this disaster is what those that voted for the govt get as a result of their own inability to weigh up facts over bullshit.
The shit is pretty much everywhere now and its all of us that have to put up with the stench.
