@booboo you’re fine mate. No offence taken.

@raznomore I see today Tremain has previous with a cartoon published referencing Louise Nicholas' sexual assault with a police baton.
He really is a fucking moron. I don't think theres much "un" in his conscious bias.
-
So this anti vaxxer was immunized as a child, and all his kids have been immunized too. What a farken hypocrite
-
The Samoan PM is appealing for $28m to future proof against this happening again
-
Firstly to be clear - I think that cartoon was naive, horrible, stupid and some seriously introverted thinking was applied in order to write, and subsequently publish, it.
But it seems quite a few are peddling the "racist" line. And that actually annoys me just as much. It's many many things, of which none are positive, but it ain't racist.
-
@MajorRage I think for a lot of people throwing that around, racism, probably lack the understanding to differentiate between extreme arrogance and not racism.
I like your description that it was introverted. That’s exactly what it is. There was a thinking there that this wouldn’t get that far and it catered to a very small readership.

In the article you can search for your suburb to check what the vaccine refusal rate for under-fives is.
-
@Bovidae good on the community trying to get rates up. Sad they had to suffer the loss of that 7 year old girl to spur them to do it
-
I don't know a lot about how papers are run but wouldn't there be someone who has final say what gets printed? Cartoonist made a bad joke but it isn't his job to determine if a joke is bad or not, his role is to be funny/edgy/entertaining. He missed the mark here but the responsibility should fall on the ODT and its disappointing to see that they seem to be blaming the cartoonist .

Gees some if those refusal rates are scary 44%! That map is something for tourists to consider when planning n NZ trip

The editor has apologised twice in the paper now , unfortunately various cucks and bullies have latched onto this to use it as an excuse to raise their own profile . The Spinoff as usual has the worst take and here’s their contribution to the pile on https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/04-12-2019/i-thought-nz-had-changed-then-i-saw-the-cartoon-making-fun-of-samoan-babies-deaths/
Whatever .I didn’t realise Tremain is almost 80 years old .

Interesting, I swear just the other day an anti vaxxer was telling me to follow the money behind global warming and yet here we have someone profiting off the pro disease insanity

I can't imagine what kind of weirdo would want this but @mariner4life has probably already emailled her asking when they are bringing out a Monica Belluci scented one .
https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/gwyneth-paltrows-goop-vagina-scented-candle
Gwyneth Paltrow has done it again, folks.
The 47-year-old actress and serial lifestyle entrepreneur found another way to shock the world with the sale of a vagina-scented candle in her online Goop store.
The candle, provocatively named “This Smells Like My Vagina,” will run customers a cool $75 and boasts a fragrance packed with geranium, citrusy bergamot and cedar, according to the Daily Mail.
GWYNETH PALTROW ANNOUNCES PRICEY GOOP CRUISE THROUGH MEDITERRANEAN
Apparently the idea for the candle, made by Heretic, originally started out as a joke.
As the product description reads: “This candle started as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and GP -- the two were working on a fragrance, and she blurted out, ‘Uhhh ... this smells like a vagina’ -- but evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent.”
-
@jegga something about that smells fishy to me
-
@dogmeat you sure it isn't a carry over from that oyster nightmare of yours?
-
-
do we get to pick when the smell is from?
Like "post sex vagina"
"after a 5km run vagina"
"after 3 days of camping vagina"

Can't resist one last one for now:

@Donsteppa that's the angle i have never understood.
Surely if money was the ultimate driver, then there is waaaay more money in burying vaccines and treating people who end up with really bad diseases over an extended period of time?

It's not logical. These people defy logic. The only hope is that the sky fairy takes as many of them quickly to avoid affecting the rest of us!
-
@mariner4life Yeah, most vaccines make fuck all money, and can be more of a way to keep on the good sides of governments than a profit centre.

The podcast The Dream is about multi level marketing , aka pyramid schemes , this season is about supplements . The industry spends a fortune lobbying to keep the FDA away from their products and don't really use any sort of testing the way pharmaceutical companies do. Their so called natural health supplements like St Johns Wort can interfere with prescription medications and make warfarin and the birth control pill ineffective. Apparently 30-40 % of liver shutdowns are due to supplements .
Also Monster energy drink calls itself a supplement to avoid scrutiny.

There was a company in oz that sold online tooth whitening. You sign up and every month they send you a whitening kit. Even though we usually only recommend whitening once a year or so. The new one is online orthodontic treatment, a cheapo Invisalign. I don't know what happens when you finish the course and it hasn't worked or even made you worse. If I was more mercenary I should set up a shell company with Mrs CF as director and do something similar. It is crazy

It would not hold up as appropriate treatment. And the old 'I did it because Mr Smith wanted me to' defence is not going to do it

Mrs Steppa gets very angry with the TV when that cheapo version of Invisalign advert appears. She works at an orthodontic practice, and appears to think the online versions chances of success are similar to mine of making the All Blacks squad this year...

I've got a mate who's an orthodontist and he's of the feeling that Invisalign need some competition in the closed dental markets so he's not instantly against them and he's heard from colleagues in the US that it's fairly effective if done correctly.

The reaction seems to be less to the competition aspect, and more to the almost DIY way it’s being advertised as. Similar to @canefan‘s comment about what happens if it doesn’t work or makes things worse.

This is awesome and embarrassing in comparison for NZ . Rwanda has a 98% vaccination rate and in future its cervical cancer rates are probably going to be the lowest in the world.
Which is weird because some utter tool that used to post here whos name escapes me posted that gardisal doesn't prevent cervical cancer. No one said it did, it prevents hpv which can lead to cervical and throat cancer.

@jegga lack of internet probably helps, no way for mis-information to get out there, Medical teams just travelling all round and vaccinating people.
I expect people in a place like that are greatful of any medical treatment?
