    It seems that the Government is not up with the state of play.

    A very sad state of affairs.

    This is doubly or triply stupid. First of all, covid (or what's left
    of it) is now exclusively JN1 strain: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/first-up/audio/2018926116/jn1-now-the-dominant-strain-of-fifth-wave-of-covid
    Article dated 15 Feb: "JN1 ... is now responsible for almost all New
    Zealand Covid infections".

    So now they bring in this moronic "update" shot that brings them up to
    the latest extinct variant, XBB.1.5: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/509854/covid-19-vaccine-that-targets-new-strains-available-next-month


    Meanwhile people are starting to drop like flies from all the stoopid
    covid shots! Come getcher "safe and effective" and TIMELY poison.

    The article from thepress.co.nz above said:
    "A Covid-19 vaccine that is more effective against newer strains of
    the virus will be available from March 7, health officials have
    confirmed.

    Drug buyer Pharmac said it has secured stock of a vaccine that
    provides better protection against the Omicron strains XBB1.5 and
    JN.1. JN.1 is now responsible for almost all of New Zealand�s cases."

    Thanks for the url for the RNZ article though, it included:
    "Last week, Te Whatu Ora reported 5555 new cases and 20 deaths.

    Last week, a new study published in Vaccine reported that vaccines
    against Covid-19 saved an estimated 4000-12,000 lives in New Zealand
    during the Omicron phase of the pandemic.

    The authors said New Zealand's elimination strategy meant most people
    were able to be vaccinated before being exposed to the virus, and
    there were fewer hospitalisations.

    Aotearoa had one of the lowest Covid-19 mortality rates in the world."

    A very sad state of affairs.

    "It will be funded for people aged 30 years and over, down to age 16
    for pregnant people"

    When "pregnant people" are mentioned, I reach for my bullshit
    repellent.

    Thanks Bill; what are the concerns with this? (I presume you have no
    issues with "to age 12 for people at high risk..." or Maori and
    Pacific aged 50 and older, etc.)
