Michael Tomlinson: The Heart of the Matter - Cardiac Risks of Covid-19 Vaccines

Evidence continues to mount indicating that the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic was counterproductive and harmful, yet mainstream opinion continues to proclaim that it was a triumph.

David Lillis: Ethnicity and Public Health

Abstract

Up to now ethnicity has been used as a marker of public health in New Zealand, both as a means of identifying high-risk communities and proportioning resources for health and medical services and intervention. In 2024 the Coalition Government has reduced, though not eliminated, the use of ethnicity as a marker, so that public services, including health services, are prioritized on need rather than race. 

David Bell: How Did the Corruption of Public Health Happen?

International public health is a mess. Once seen generally as a public good, the focus of the World Health Organization (WHO) now more closely resembles a scheme for extracting private profit from the public purse. Wealthy corporations drive a ‘public-private partnership’ agenda, the foundations of the rich determine global priorities, and a propagandized public are ever more removed from decision-making regarding their own well-being.

Eric Crampton: Public health returns to form

Meet the new public health. Same as the old public health.

Covid had no silver linings. But I had at least hoped public health would lay off hectoring us about food and drink for a little while. Surely they would have more pressing concerns.

Last week, the government resurrected its Public Health Advisory Committee. It would be tasked with one substantial research project for the year.

Would it focus on infectious disease or go back to trying to ban or tut-tut tasty things?

Point of Order: Govt highlights benefits for Tauranga in funding deal.....

Geography, ethnicity and your occupation will determine the extent to which you might benefit from the latest hamper of goodies to be distributed by the Beehive.

But be warned. Being a beneficiary may result in levies being imposed.
