  1. There is no “Herd Immunity” and vaccines arent stopping wave after wave of mutant variants.The number of people afflicted with permanent damage grows and grows. This is what “Living With The Virus” looks like:

    The number of people seeking help for long COVID has doubled and the NHS is struggling to keep up, a charity has warned: Long COVID sufferers ‘considering buying own oxygen’ as number seeking help doubles, says charity.

  2. Is this about NZ or UK? Sky won’t even let me read the headline without demanding something from me – plonking request right on top. Plonkers.

    And if its about the UK I suggest that moon person doesn’t give us half-digested facts based on the half-digested UK news. We prefer our own say us baby birdies.

  3. S…t I’ve got ants again, ordinary black ones thank goodness. But they make me feel despairing, I’ve got stuff to put down butI know they will be back before they finally goet rid of these ones. And that’s iw an assumption. A bit like politicians. Apparently working and going places, keeping in touch, following the leader swarming and intruding to no advantage to us, and driving people who wwant to get things done right, crazy. And that’s not even the crazy ants – they must drive people double crazy. And the sponges in the southern Sounds are bleached like the Barrier Reef in Oz. And we are going round and round the plughole on our way down to the waste station, that Christchurch Council managers have employed people who set theirs on fire.

    The trial of fortitude is proceeding inexorably while we refuse to have vaccinations because it violates our right to be alive! By what right is that I ask?
    German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is known for his writings on good and evil, the end of religion in modern society and the concept of a “super-man.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher who became one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. His attempts to unmask the motives that underlie traditional Western religion, morality, and philosophy deeply affected generations of theologians, philosophers, psychologists, poets, novelists, and playwrights.

    Did we listen, absorb, consider and amend? Perhaps we’ll listen now.
    Søren Kierkegaard said this:
    “How did I get into the world? Why was I not asked about it and why was I not informed of the rules and regulations but just thrust into the ranks as if I had been bought by a peddling shanghaier of human beings? How did I get involved in this big enterprise called actuality?
    Why should I be involved?
    sn’t it a matter of choice?
    And if I am compelled to be involved, where is the manager—I have something to say about this.
    Is there no manager? To whom shall I make my complaint?”

  4. “How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.”

    Søren Kierkegaard

  5. Isn’t this a doozy!

    “The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you’ll never have.”
    Søren Kierkegaard

  6. And this !
    “A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.”
    Søren Kierkegaard
