If they keep the "no covid for 3 months prior" requirement for a booster if it's expanded to everyone, no one will ever be eligible lmao

"Petousis-Harris said there were likely several reasons for the stalled booster uptake, including a degree of vaccination fatigue."

oh, so not the fact that the majority of people just straight up can't get one

it's probably not because the government has basically told everyone it's just a flu

While I don't seem to have flu symptoms, this sinus headache doesn't seem to be going away - been days.

Although it only flares up when my blood pressure rises, like at the gym or during other... exertive pursuits.

Better not be some weird covid.

In other news I saw a townhouse that had been built along my commute is up for rent. I'm not looking, but curious as to the cost... $650 week (Christchurch). It is very close to a mall, and is also brand new, but poo poo rents have gone high.

The experience over the years
of nothing getting better
only worse.
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/ideasroom/a-dismal-year-for-autocrats-raises-questions-for-nz

quote:

The year 2022 was also the year that the Xi Jinping regime’s draconian Covid policy succeeded in further complicating the Chinese Communist Party’s relationship with Chinese society.

The “all-out people’s war to stop the spread of the virus” referenced at the 20th Communist Party Congress in October has been repudiated by country-wide protests in November. This has triggered what is arguably the biggest surprise of the year, the announcement of a significant relaxation of China’s Covid policy on December 7.

That said, having rejected the idea of using foreign-made vaccines in favour of less effective indigenous vaccines, a successful Chinese Communist Party-led path out of this self-inflicted crisis is far from guaranteed.

As Professor Andrew Nathan from Columbia University in the US has pointed out in the Wall Street Journal, “meeting the popular demand to relax the zero Covid regime runs the risk of a pandemic wildfire that could cause millions of deaths - the very outcome the regime all along sought to avoid”.

Professor Nathan notes that even assuming a highly effective Chinese mRNA vaccine is developed, there will need to be a “forcible vaccination campaign, along with a new propaganda line that normalises a certain level of transmission and death. This path is full of risk for the regime”.

[...]

The failure of China’s Marxist-Leninist political system to internalise the lessons of the SARS crisis of 2002-03 has led to a more serious pandemic from 2019-present. This has directly impacted every New Zealander's life. It has also required New Zealand to run a budget deficit that will take many years to repay.
