Mandatory Vaccinations

Michael from Trentham

Time is coming quickly when Covid vaccinations will become mandatory in NZ for many.
It seems there is going to be a 5 to 8 percent resistance if things are left as they are. But they won't be left as they are.

The simple facts are vaccinate fully and beat the Coronovirus disease or at least lessen greatly its severity and lessen the chances of passing it on so that people are not having to suffer or be hospitalised and/or die from it and so life can reach some kind of cautious normality.

The Delta variant of the disease must be rendered less damaging, less pervasive.

So teachers and the like will be forced to take the vaccination programme or give up their jobs. People want children to be safe and they are not with unvaccinated adults actively in charge of them.

And it of course wont just stop with those in the teaching and wider teaching profession.

If you have a family member unvaccinated, are they welcome into your home? I guess for most the answer is no.

THE POST FOREGOES ITS OWN TEAM

Michael from Trentham

Wellington Lions (men's provincial rugby rep team) brilliantly won the Bunnings NPC last Saturday but The Post (Wellington's daily newspaper) has done absolutely no follow-up article/story in the days following the brief report on the Monday edition.

In fact the Auckland-based NZ Herald carried much more surrounding Wellington's success.

What use is this Wellington newspaper - the "great" amalgamated successor of the Dominion and The Evening Post which had presented a Trump-like lie in stating it was going to to be twice as good and as large as either of the two newspapers it derived from and with a smorgasbord of journalists.

Today it is a limp, dwindling, sometimes delivered soggy cut-down-to-comic-size newspaper that cannot even capture the essence of a stunning sports win by an outstanding team of Super Rugby and All Black quality players within its realm of distribution.
