    That sounds awfully similar to a bug that the British discovered in one of their encryption devices that was based off of the Enigma machine, they knew about it, but declined to tell anyone about, sold the machines to their allies knowing that they would be able to decrypt their messages if needed.

    Buggered if I can remember any more details about it, but it rings a rather large bell.

    So reading the listener article over breakfast, prolly a month old, but a survey of the ICU organisations about the country - we have 3.6 ICU beds actually deployable with staff and machines per 100,000 peeps. Just 1 space ahead of Mexico. It has 1/2'd since 2001 through successive governments. So any politician standing and pointing the finger the other way should have it broken off.

    Vaccine injuries

    A 3 hour YouTube coverage of this US Senate hearing has been deleted by YouTube but this one of the highlights is still up, for now. The submissions to this hearing are troubling to say the least and despite me being double vax'd I can see why some of the anti brigade hold the views they do. Something not right is going on here.

    There's an awful lot of covid injuries. Far out swamping any lawyers trying to make money in merca.

    The way I see it currently

    The way I'm seeing things it's a numbers game. There is definitely a chance of copping an adverse reaction to the vaccination but the odds are far lower for that than suffering a serious result if the virus comes on board. Collateral damage is one way of looking at this unfortunately.

    The vaccine isn't totally protective but it significantly reduces your chances of contracting the virus and reduces the severity of symptoms if you do end up with a 'breakthrough' infection. Again a way to sway the statistics in your favour.

    The governments (internationally) are shit scared of what this virus is capable of doing including to existing health systems and to their populations so they're cranking out the pro-vax propaganda because that's the only tool they have in their toolbox currently and they would be vilified if they failed to at least try to mitigate the fatality rate that's coming. Admitting to the vaccine injuries would be counterproductive in what is already a difficult sell to some sectors of the population with many of those being Maori and if fatalities are significantly higher in that group the government will be blamed on racial terms. A bit of a no win situation in that respect.

    We're in for a rough time for the next year at least so batten down the hatches and we do whatever we can to be a survivor at the other end. I'm just glad we're in NZ and not in some of the more densely populated regions particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.

    In regard to my approach in accepting my double vaccination I took measures to mitigate the risks, as I see things.

    1. Microdose with aspirin prior to and for a week after vaccinations to minimise clotting potential.
    2. Insist that the practitioner aspirates (draws back) the syringe prior to injecting the vaccine in to confirm that it is going into muscle tissue and not IV.
    3. Drink plenty of water in the days following vaccination to maximise elimination of bodily byproducts resulting from the immune system stimulation that occurs.

    In regard to my aspiration comment above this video explains it well:

    How bad would it be if there was a country filled with anti-vaxxers?

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/rus...XV5VTXOGYJMWQ/

    Shit, real bad. I guess that answers the question - "why not just let everyone decide for themselves if they want a vaccine or not?". It should be obvious why many governments are putting pressure on their citizens to get vaccinated.

    Well it's a good thing those ruskies didn't get vaccinated. I hear the side effects include bitching about how spoons stick to you or make you unlucky at poker. . . . Whilst still being alive.

    I see Jackie girl has abandoned the 90% project already. Guess they fed their computer model for that gamble the same favourable data they cherry pick for their climate models. So nice when real world data trumps the experts best guess....

    Now you can’t leave Auckland (at the great escape date) unless your double vaxxed or produce negative tests within 72hrs... BUT the great unwashed(unvaxced)south of the border can freely ENTER but it’s all a bit Hotel California cause once you check in you can’t leave!
    Or do they not care about those people being super spreaders back to provinces????

    And those 72 hr tests are worthless in busy metropolitan environment where between testing and leaving you could have an exposure event.
    Do they think anything through or just do stuff to make it look like they care?
    You couldn’t make up a comedy script this good!!!!

    !
    Exactly what is your medical or scientific training again?
    its going to be interesting to see you avoid this question again...........you know just for the sake of consistency....
    Because its rather odd that a truck driver would know more than medical and scientific professionals about medicine and science.
    like how you first said covid was a hoax
    Then it was nothing to worry about
    Then how people didn't die from it
    then how we didn't need the lock downs and control
    then how masks were some sort of conspiracy
    now its they are not doing enough to stop its spread
    Anyone would think you were just trolling for attention...

    I bet there are thousands of people straining at the bit to get in to Auckland as soon as possible.

    You’d be surprised... let’s not forget modern lifestyles.... long distance relationships, training/work opportunities, specialist recreation areas/activities, plain old catching up with family and friends.
