I am begging you as a parent, please do not ignore this. Just 5 dollars, combined with others, can become the treatment that saves my child. Your kindness can mean survival.

Remember how the Nats called EV subsidies a "ute tax" and everyone was like "yeah! Ute tax" like a bunch of numpties? Oh my GOD. SO DUMB

I can't believe we have no household solar and no ferries and 43 days of fuel left

We are so dumb

We have the dumbest government but also we are very dumb

Anyone reading that headline is going to get the message that getting Covid is the way to get immunity rather than via the booster. The article advises to get a booster. The headline constitutes misinformation.

Cannot believe this has been up all day giving the impression we should all just get Covid in order to protect ourselves. Furious at how deeply negligent this is. (And ah, Lloyd🫠)

Sure it says that. But they know a lot of people these days just read the headline..

I hope it gets changed soon

Note the article encourages people to get a booster, but the headline suggests the complete opposite - these things have got to be checked.

Kia ora Team,
Please update this misinformation in your headline immediately, it is absolutely not correct that catching the virus is our new booster and is deeply negligent to give this impression to the public.
Please confirm this has been updated, and see correct info here:

I have emailed but if anyone can reach Stuff more quickly that would be great.

This is misinformation - a correction needs to be issued, an apology given, and a process put in place so this doesn’t reoccur.

It is unacceptable and negligent this has been up for a full day during a health crisis.

🚨 If anyone has contacts at Stuff to get this headline updated urgently please do so.

Expert advice is that getting Covid repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage. Each infection raises your risk of long Covid and serious complications.

This is unacceptable.

🎩 Living in America, is exhausting

Hustle culture, is dead we are done

The juice, isn’t worth the squeeze

The game is rigged, so stop playing

We, need a national general strike! 🇺🇸

If we don’t do this now, then we have no future, it’s only going to get worse!

SHUT THIS WHOLE COUNTRY DOWN!

Just as America suffered a humiliating and shameful defeat in Afghanistan, it will also face defeat from Iran. Once again, it will stand before the world with its head bowed in embarrassment, and history will record this day as another dark chapter of its failure.

They told me if I voted for Hillary and Kamala we’d have war.

I voted for the smart women…

…and we have war.

People need to realize that misogyny is going to destroy the earth. People cannot hold so much hate for half of the world’s population and have peace.
