#NZPol The boys club in blue is just the most visible part of the problem.

"Type 2 diabetes was once rare for children, but that’s no longer the case in New Zealand, and this should act as a wake-up call for the country." newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/17/t...

This clearly articulates the false hope mentality most people have about covid

Yes! 👏

Had the most amazing time with Te Rōpū Pounamu ( the Māori Greens) at Kāpiti marae. So full of aroha and drive. We have to make this govt a #onetermgovernment. The knowledge and skills within TRP are gonna be needed this election 💚💪 #nzpol #TRP

Absolutely shocking! 😡😡

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

Disability advocate has Facebook account "disabled" following post criticising government policy Facebook says it's breached "community standards" but won't say what they are Facebook provides no way to appeal decision www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Nothing makes any sense to me anymore. It's good people can still get upset and do things to improve things, but shit we need SO MUCH MORE energy on covid and most people seem to think that's a thing of years ago and not rampant and ongoing and IT MAKES ME FEEL CRAZY. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

yeahhhh… asbestosis can take years and years to develop… covid is out here reactivating dormant cancer cells, causing cumulative damage with each reinfection, rewriting our immune systems from inside our bone marrow *right now.*

Working age adults with more neurological symptoms 😞

It's cool, everyone. They used hand sanitiser! 🤣 Now switching to isolating sick team members. Probably too late at this point as it will have already spread.

Alice Wong died of an infection 💔 Thinking of all the healthcare workers over time who failed to protect her www.npr.org/2025/11/15/n...

Really interesting seeing the panic about the asbestos in parent groups while we have Covid running rampant in schools 🤷‍♀️

People would go wild if MS or lupus were airborne, but Covid is airborne, and it can reactivate EBV, which is linked to both. It’s biologically plausible that we’re seeing more MS- and lupus-related illness after widespread airborne viruses. So mask up 😷

Germany 🇩🇪 has announced half a billion euros funding into research into MECFS and Long Covid. They are calling it "The National Decade Against Post-Infectious Diseases" More information is available on this government website announcing the initiative: www.bmftr.bund.de/SharedDocs/K...

When the government decided to let COVID-19 loose, they decided at that exact same time to do two things. Make life difficult and lonely for elderly and disabled people. Kill elderly and disabled people by playing dress up and pretend it’s 2019, because we want to be “kind”.

Alongside @bma.org.uk, we've written to the Secretary of State for Work & Pensions urging Long COVID and severe post Covid-19 complications be recognised as an industrial disease. This change would ensure health and social care workers with Long COVID can access the financial support they need.

Should I do a deep dive blog series on think tanks like Atlas? Interesting, or no?

It was NEVER just a cold. Brain scans from 2020 of people who died of Covid showed that. So why are public health agencies and doctors everywhere repeating the line that they are treating it like any other virus?

Oh, now it's ok to frighten people for public health? www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/ho...

And now eugenics is normalized - you better not be obese or have diabetes or sleep apnea Immigrants with health conditions may be denied visas under new Trump administration guidance - ABC News share.google/EZmg1xp0KMKy...

Please leave it if you're still there

When media does "all sides" it's infuriating, especially if there's no/little balancing view. The creep of Atlas into our politics hasn't been widely reported enough imo

#nzpol I encourage others to write to them too

Absolutely disgusting to be platforming Christo fascists on Q & A

“The majority of people have been too broke, for too long, to keep putting up with more tinkering around the edges. And both parties seriously underestimate how mad we are.” Absolutely this👇

The way this headline is written made me feel like I was going to break out in hives.

Ok prediction of the month: 2026 data breach from the third party AI note-taker being rolled out in GP offices

Greens or things get worse

The article says he doesn't have name suppression any more, but they're still not naming him for 'legal reasons'. What does that mean? #nzpol

Attendees were largely over 60, one asked if this was a sign that “free speech” was dying; “In opening remarks to the meeting, Heather, the FSU chief executive, said next year it planned to launch a “large education initiative” focused on 16 to 25 year olds.” MASS INDOCTRINATION ‼️ #nzpol

Keep kids safe or stop large protest movements? #nzpol

Surely they wouldn’t invite American fascism to take root on our independent sovereign shores? Right? SURELY?! 👀💭 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #Fascism #Fuck

Metformin showing promise again here. We need #clinicaltrials of these treatments for #longcovid

#LongCovid is not playground for minimizing the pandemic and/or foster one's engagement on social media. It's a novel disease entity recognized by major health bodies across the world. It can disable and kill. People with LC have suffered from severe medical neglect. We deserve better

We need more political analysts saying out loud just how much we are crying out for the kind of sea change we’ve just witnessed in New York - and how across the board, we’re just not meeting that need or this moment.

Long Covid is common - ~1 in 5 people have it, and it's on the rise. Reinfections add to the burden. It's the most common chronic condition in children. Actual coverage on this at last from CBC

Wow. Durham County, US doing great public health here by educating about Long Covid.

In some post-scarcity future people will be shown this as example of one of the first murders by an artificial.

“If we don’t invest in the health of children… we’re going to be seeing a carrying on of adults who are economically inactive.” Prof Steve Turner @rcpch.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/article/ed1d...

Heartless bastards without souls.

This joke of a Govt better look into this www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I totally get this. I have a baseline that I have reached an acceptance over. I am very protective of that baseline.

If you think some people are extreme about avoiding Covid, feel free to ask us the reasons why. We've been reading the research since the beginning. There are now 700k + reasons.

Got to blame the worker ofc🤬 Since the first emergency phase of covid people have become much LESS concerned abt their wellness or anyone elses -ie they're taking no precautions, freely spreading everywhere - its just that now MORE PPL ARE ACTUALLY MORE ILL FFS Sorry im shouting at the clouds😒🥺
