"Maybe the first world countries will eventually realise that we need to stop vaccine inequality " - in the case of SA I understand they have buckets of vaccine but no arms to stick it in - hardly a 'first world' problem?

The Government is “confident” the new Omicron Covid variant hasn't entered New Zealand, according to Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins.

So that's alright then. :-?

How on earth can NZ's Jacinda say all restrictions will be removed next April? Has she got a crystal ball? Two? Boris, the Mecron and whoever is running der Vaterland can't even plan a week ahead let alone five months.

It is amazing how the prominent anti-vaxxer Neil Oliver slowly slowly looks more and more like a vagrant without a licenced Gypsy site to 'squat' on. =))

I'd like to see another one on the same basis: about the Global Warming deniers. Covid deniers tend to be cut out of the same bolt of cloth as the AGW deniers and the lunar landing deniers and the 9/11 deniers and the flat Earthists.

This is a well written article IMO; https://www.mmegi.bw/features/whos-list ... o-who/news

There is serious vaccine inequalty which is a real hurdle for a lot of countries. Vaccine hesitancy in some countries (but I haven''t seen much here) doesn't help but isn't the cause of low vaccination rates IMO
