So you think its ok for 10 yr old rape victims to give birth because Charlie Kirk did , the guy was disgusting. But you shouldn't be shot down and killed for what you say . But when you spread so much hate and division some people snap. We still dont know who killed him or why .

It is tragic that we now live in a world that differences of opinion are met with a gun. The death of Charlie Kirk is not political violence it is an assassination. The utter tragedy is that Kirk travelled extensively around university campuses to give an open mic and debate to everyone - and all were welcome. He stood for freedom of speech and especially fought for the right of others to express theirs - even if he disagreed. The essence of democracy is under threat around the world and we must do everything we can to protect it.

@gaye_ess @herbofchch What has that got to do with my post? Good strawman. Yes it's had injuries and deaths, as has any vaccine rollout of that size. But not at the level social media "experts" keep banging on about. But I'm not wasting my time debating that with you, it's clear where you are.

I found this on the ACC website. Vaccine related injury payouts. Highest month payout was February 2024 - $773,005. Hang on, wasn't the vaccine supposed to be "safe & effective"???? #nzpol Total cost of all accepted vaccine related injury claims by month between 1 September 2022 and 23 March 2024 Payment Month Payments : September 2022 $349,967 October 2022 $507,183 November 2022 $423,963 December 2022 $492,035 January 2023 $388,096 February 2023 $326,555 March 2023 $597,573 April 2023 $399,108 May 2023 $376,763 June 2023 $290,957 July 2023 $322,082 August 2023 $654,093 September 2023 $280,085 October 2023 $337,948 November 2023 $262,633 December 2023 $315,565 January 2024 $286,188 February 2024 $773,005 March 20241 $181,269 1 Partial month Link: acc.co.nz/assets/oia-res…

@herbofchch @gaye_ess Medical misadventure is referred to as "treatment injury" in ACC legislation and excludes common side effects. It woukd cover rare and unexpected ones, as can happen with any vaccine.

@herbofchch @gaye_ess Totally wrong. It's medical misadventure and covered by ACC. Giving a vaccine to a patient who has a side effect is NOT medical malpractice. All vaccines have side effects as do all medical treatments. Put away your anti-doctor prejudice.

@gaye_ess Before you rave on more and embarrass yourself, no vaccine is 100% safe, and no vaccine is 100% effective. Stop beating a drum that makes no sense.

@gaye_ess I'm offended that he only highlights misogyny directed at trans women. What about misandry directed at trans men? Or is he saying by exclusion they aren't men? Asking for a friend.

I have taken a few quotes from Benjamin Doyle speaking in parliament today and put them together. Thoughts??? "Do not fall for this Government's rhetoric which seeks to embed anti-trans and misogynistic ideologies into our healthcare system. Yes, some women can give birth, but so too can trans and gender diverse people, and the same can be said about those suffering with endometriosis. We have heard, just this week in the House from the Minister of Health, that equity and targeted care based on social determinants like gender, sexuality, and whakapapa do not matter to this Government.  Gender affirming healthcare guidelines are being unnecessarily delayed. Successive Governments have allowed entrenched medical misogyny to go unchecked in the healthcare system for too long. It is a disgrace that endometriosis, a condition which only affects women, trans men, and gender diverse people, takes on average eight to 10 years to be diagnosed in this country. I have heard stories of trans men being turned away from care due to cis normative medical practices. Stories of gender diverse folk being ignored, erased, and humiliated by a system which fails to recognise their existence. This government has proven it does not care about equity in healthcare. It does not care about trans and gender diverse lives." Full text here: parliament.nz/en/pb/hansard-… #nzpol

@chrishipkins What a joke! From over 7% under you to mid 2s. "Oh, but Covid!" you cry. This quote from Churchill sums you up perfectly. "Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next with no loss of enthusiasm" Long may Labour keep you in the job.

@Pete20221 @SeanPlunket I was a Platform+ subscriber paying $30/month and got increasingly frustrated at not being able to watch YouTube content. After two complaints about having to pay more for that medium and bring told effectively "tough" , I cancelled my subscription. I'll be back when they fix it.

@MatuaKahurangi He'll delete this and block me for sure but here's what I posted. You'll see there was no personal attack, in fact quite the opposite. Doesn't pay to disagree with him, obviously.

@MatuaKahurangi @MatuaKahurangi I commented on your substack disagreeing with your attack on Michael Baker, giving reasons why. You blocked me. Convince me you're more interested in free speech and debate rather than building your own echo chamber, because it doesn't look like it...

@1PaulJ_ My problem is my Oppo Find X2 Pro is such a good phone I can't justify throwing it away and dropping a big wad of cash on a better camera.

This is the Oppo Find X8 Ultra & it might just take the best photos on any Android It has a 6100 mAh battery 🔋 1" 50mp main 📷 6x optical zoom 📸 Some of the best video on an android, stacks up with the iPhone 16 pro Max 📱 The bad news is that we might never see this launch outside of china but if this had a global release it would be my main phone in a heartbeat
