This is the case for a majority of people in New Zealand due to the response in 2020 and 2021 which could explain why our excess mortality continue to be lower than other countries. Lockdown gets proven to be the right decision (at the time).
A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

Just realising that celcius going from -50 (about as cold as it gets on earth) to +50 (about as hot as it gets on earth) is pretty neat and is also about 100 degrees difference in the same, uh, spherosphere.

So much to process from this interview so I'm just going to hyperfocus on how Mark Mitchell and Brian Roche are very, very concerned about Andrew Coster "relitigating" things

Oops did your fall guy not understand he was meant to take ALL the blame for the systemic problems you're complicit in
Exclusive: Coster claims Hipkins and Mitchell told about McSkimming
In an interview with Q+A, the former police commissioner spoke for the first time since the damning IPCA report on the McSkimming scandal.

Yeah, this is a real thing.
I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:

It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).
