Got a similar sad story about flu vaccine. I think I've told it on here before. Personally I'd rather be pegged up the wrongun by the ghost of Lionel Ritchie and he's not even dead yet.I didn't say yesterday but will this evening. My brother in law David is 61 and has a deformed left hand - his mother took Thalidomide. David has a twin sister - she was unaffected. Fortunately the deformity hasn't really affected his life. But there you are.

Yeah. Shame on us. Live and learn eh?At school, as mean school kids, it was a common insult/joke for our generation of course.

But what if you have shut yourselves off from it, denied nature as it were and then it rips through again? Or in a mutant form so you grow 2 heads and one of them speak Klingon? Seriously though. The way govt's are treating this appears more and more to me like factory farming.Depends.
At the moment, no but only because NZ is Covid free, except at the border.
If it was everywhere I'd have one but I'm guessing NZ will be a long way down the list.
For all you guys promoting herd immunity as a 'cure' remember vaccines are a big part of why it works.
