@Tim clearly being a professor doesn't make you smart and knowledgeable about everything....

This seems appropriate:

Dark crystals: the brutal reality behind a booming wellness craze

The long read: Demand for ‘healing’ crystals is soaring – but many are mined in deadly conditions in one of the world’s poorest countries. And there is little evidence that this billion-dollar industry is cleaning up its act

Some of National's proposed policies:
making sure gang members and associates cannot exploit taxpayer support
returning the sanction for sole parents who don't name the liable parent
not giving the benefit to parents who don't vaccinate their children

I think a few of the greens are pro disease too . They used to say they were ambivalent about vaccines in their policy docs , not sure about now .

It was a NZ ship that transported Spanish Flu to Samoa

There NZ administration in Samoa didn’t set up a quarantine and it killed off 22% of the Samoan population.

This might be something that Hilary said that almost all of us can get in behind.

I love this bit

"Barry said the World Health Organisation listed anti-vaxxers as one of the top ten threats to global health, along with Ebola.

"That is an insult every anti-vaxxer should think about.""

@canefan Uh oh, I think we'll see @jegga lining up with the Anti-vaxxers now.

This is agonising but she’s right . I can’t believe we gave another disease to Samoa . I read this week one family there lost two babies to measles from NZ .

Hilary, if anti-vaxxers thought, they wouldn't be anti now would they?

Anti-Vaxxers = ebola. That's funny. But not funny

Fake news / biased reporting by Stuff.

The proposed policy targets solo parents who don't vaccinate.

Typical pandering to the anti dole bludgers knee jerk reactionaries. It should penalise all parents in some way - By all means withhold benefits but extend to (e.g.) withholding education (why put other kids at risk etc) as its not just beneficiaries who are fuckwitted anti-vaxxers

How is it fake news if thats what they say they are going to do? I agree with you though that its not only beneficiaries that are anti vaxxers and you shouldn't be able to enrol your kid at school if they haven't had a jab.

FFS, 15 dead in Samoa from measles.

Nov 18, 2019  /  Pacific

Samoa measles outbreak claims lives of 15 children - sources

At least 15 children in Samoa are understood to have died from measles, or its complications, as the epidemic takes hold in Samoa.

How the fuck did NZ become the hotbed of disease spreading (thought it would be Melbourne) in the SH?
