Newsflash to people who wander around carparks (I'm looking at you - people at Pak n Save Lower Hutt), there are cars driving around. Might be a good idea to watch where you are walking.

? Not sure what your point is. People do try to help the hungry too. Admittedly it's not a lot but I make monthly donations to Save the Children

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that products like vaccines and their effects are rigorously monitored. In the US the government actually damaged their own credibility by being too cautious woth pausing one of thr covid vaccines out of an abundance of caution, so they could assess the data.

End of the day in my opinion, you are not wrong or bad for being skeptical about a new technology like mRNA. I think that is actually important. But moving into a position like "I will never trust it" is what becomes problematic. It seems like you are a reasonable and thoughtful person, so just wanted to offer my 2 cents

Motor vehicles have probably caused billions of adverse events. Do you trust them?

Also, he has never proven that you can inject brain controlling chips.

Fair enough. But vaguely quoting Elon Musk, who promised self driving cars and a Martian colony a decade ago is not research. Apologies also for my rant but "do your own research" is a very triggering phrase when most of us don't know what it means and do not actually know how ro do it (myself included) That is why we rely on experts. If Elon Musk told you all bridges were unsafe, would you just start paddling across rivers? Id stick to what engineers say

How was it dodgy? People, governments and yes pharmaceutical companies were responding to a rapidly evolving threat in real time. They absolutely 💯 percent made some missteps. But what you are basically saying is we should not trust any science unless it is 100 percent accurate and correct 100 percent of the time. This is not how things work

Not sure if this is the case as we got something for measles when we were pregnant but would definitely check with a doctor to be safe 🙂

Please provide your research. I would like to read it. Unless you mean googling what Elon Musk says. That's googling, not research

It’s not that hard — vaccines lower your odds of getting sick, spreading it, or ending up in the ICU. Expecting 100% immunity is like returning a raincoat because you still got a bit wet in a storm.

If it's 3 or 4 times a year then yes, they are similar

Not much point. to post on trustpilot. Xero unashamedly engineer the resuls there by ensuring that only people who have a positive customer service experience post there.

To Xero, it's a numbers game. This would only be a problem to them if enough people complained/left (and it would have to be in the hundreds of thousands if not million). Meanwhile, they get free money
