Why a study claiming vaccines cause chronic illness is severely flawed – a biostatistician explains the biases and unsupported conclusions
The main comparisons in the unpublished report are skewed, and it is being presented as stronger evidence than its design really allows.

Here’s my daily newsletter, podcast and email. Why didn’t the Government look at a solar and battery option instead of LNG? It would have been much faster and cheaper and the new Ruakaka battery shows it can soften wholesale price inflation. #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/thursdays-...
Thursday's Chorus: Where's the solar plan?
Govt's energy reforms ignored the option of a fast & big solar buildout, which Meridian's Ruakaka battery park shows would help; ANZ & BNZ fire shots to start mortgage war

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

Acc is just treating people really badly under this government. We are being sent requests to explain the pathology of their pain and if we can’t they cut them off. It’s their job to assess the pathology and treat it! One patient been fighting them over ended up in hospital straight to surgery

Great article by Guyon Espiner @ RNZ showing V concerning association between tobacco industry and:
▶️ NZ First leaders
▶️ NZ First party
▶️ legislation led by NZ First that supports tobacco products & profits.

www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...
Nicotine lobbyists said Winston Peters was 'very powerful' and 'very industry friendly'
Lobbyists for heated tobacco products identified the NZ First leader as "friendly". His party later delivered huge tax cuts for their products.

David Williams is bravely turning spotlight on NZ lobbying.

Also see Philippa Yasbek's work at the Helen Clark Foundation
& Guyon Espiner coverage of the issue.
Especially "Lobbyists are back at Parliament - with a new privacy measure hiding their identities".
