Hopefully Bill Gates is not invested in it, whatever I won't be taking it anyway although Cindy might make it compulsory yet.

If you are a normal healthy individual then just like the flu vaccine there is absolutely no reason to take this one.

That blanket statement is simply not true. Yes, less risk but not as simple as that.

I take the flu vaccine every year, despite being young and healthy. Every vaccine is a minor superpower as far as I'm concerned - besides potentially stopping me from getting sick occasionally, it should help prevent others getting sick who may be more susceptible. I work in healthcare so I consider that particularly important.

We are incredibly lucky to live in an age where vaccines are so common.

I've worked in Healthcare for 30 yrs but now very much part time.

You are entitled to your opinion but I stand by my statement.

A coup for China’: Analysts react to the world’s largest trade deal that excludes the U.S

[COLOR=#171717][FONT="]Analysts said economic benefits from the mega trade pact are modest and would take years to materialize

Thank goodness for our economic future that NZ is definitely on the right side of the trade equation in being a party to the trade deal.

The US has lost the trade war with China and US is in a terminal but slow state of economic decline.

Excerpts :

"Although Trump himself is impulsive and unpredictable, I thought back then that when it came to China policy, his team comprised hard-eyed, cold-hearted, rational strategists. However, Krugman termed these people morons, the worst, and the dumbest. So I thought he was gravely prejudiced against the Trump team. But now, after watching the Trump team’s China policies in action on trade and technology, I am forced to admit they have proved Krugman correct: They are exactly what he accused them of being."

"If Joe Biden wins the November 3 presidential election, the US will have to relinquish global domination and exceptionalism to end its trade and tech war. Team Biden will face colossal challenges in its trade and technology negotiations with China.

So as it turned out, the Trump team is indeed the herd of the morons and dumbest policymakers that Krugman described. He was right, and I was wrong."

Completely agree. I was a solo parent working 50+ hours a week and every year flu made for some hellish weeks till we used the vaccines. Only did it for 3 years but what a difference it made.

Looks like Trump is tweeting the USA into a bad Christmas. They only have themselves to blame but are we all going to pay?
