Can you believe NZ Pharmac? They confirmed MRNA Pfizer as primary covid19 vax & acknowledged “Exceptional Circumstances” where an alternate vax (Novavax) should be available for those intolerant of MRNA but are not providing it nor a means of accessing it @drayeshaverrall.bsky.social #nzpol

Decision to award Principal Supply for COVID-19 vaccine

Yes, this has been an ongoing frustration for those of us who'd rather have Novavax 😞

People in residential care, rest homes, prisons are dying and getting sicker from repeat Covid infections.

This is a fact.

I don't think it's a left or right issue. I think public health and the right to Covid-safe access to education and healthcare are human issues.

Too Long Covid @toolongcovid.bsky.social · 1d

To be clear, this isn't because there's no news on these topics. There's a lot happening in the research space, plenty of human interest stories, and lots of information for the public good.

In terms of the ongoing pandemic and Long Covid, Spinoff hasn't run pretty much any Covid news in the last two years, like most left-leaning media. Which leaves it to the msm to put their minimising slant on it.

Mountain Tui @mountaintui.bsky.social · 2d

Newsroom and Spinoff and NZ Geo seem to be the only hold outs at the moment #nzpol

If you are fuming about the derailment of climate ambition in AoNZ, how about helping fund an investigation into where this came from 👇

The crowdfund for a podcast investigating how the idea of quitting the Paris climate accords went from fringe to mainstream is getting closer and closer to the goal. If 25 more people pledge $5 we'll be three quarters of the way there

Denial of Long Covid is rooted in denial of Covid-19 itself.

A kind reminder that a strong, collective, grassroots #LongCovid movement would be an existential threat to those who pushed mass infection dynamics. Hence, the attacks on the name itself, the concept, the links between the disease and a pandemic driven by a SARS virus

Did you know it was several decades before handwashing in hospitals was implemented after it was found to be necessary in 1846? We’re in the same boat today, except w/ airborne transmission—yes, in 2025. Unfuckingbelievable. So unnecessary, maddening, irresponsible, & dangerous. #MasksInHealthcare

This isn’t fearmongering — it’s reality. Hospital-acquired COVID can delay care or cost you your health — even your life.

Infection control measures — masks, ventilation, testing, and staff/patient protections — should be standard care in every healthcare setting.

Some day you’ll be in hospital for surgery or chemotherapy or with another illness & a nurse, or doctor or visitor at the next bed, or the patient opposite you will give you a Covid infection & your treatment will get delayed & your life will be put at unnecessary risk.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Government lowers methane target, rules out methane taxes

The government is lowering its biogenic methane target for the next 25 years, a move opposed by the Greens and environmental activists.

Politicians of Aotearoa New Zealand, give the people a reason to vote for you.

People want HOPE, just look at the amazing reaction that @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social are getting.

People are tired of the bullshit finger pointing, they want to hear POSITIVITY

Wee reminder that New Zealand is not counting how many people have caught Covid in hospitals. Because then they would be responsible...

Yall stop falling for the lie that our mainstream media is running out of money, they have plenty of money to endlessly have fascist narrative driven stories open and freely available, but all the important information is hidden behind a paywall? Give me a break.

Methane makes up 48% of NZ's climate pollution.

The Luxon Govt's Trumpian announcement that they’ll never penalise methane pollution, along with moves to INCREASE the dairy herd, is a huge slap in the face for our Pacific neighbours and many NZers already facing the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis.
