Again you have clearly articulated what was churning about in my head - thank you.
I am impressed that our roll-out has kept pace with the rate of supply.
I am pleased that we are not queue jumping.
I do admit to verging on being a Karen and grumbling about the apparent lack of any logic in the sequence of call-ups after people younger than me got theirs, so I spoke to my MP. He came back with a clear statement of the logic - it is totally random (within each cohort) and the reason is fairness. When I think about it, any other approach would cause all sorts of ructions.
So while we embrace the good old Kiwi Fair Go, Fred, let us also contemplate how propitious are the circumstances.
I hot the same text. I thought I was,special. I guess they thought we needed reassuring. I'm also not in a hurry although I was for a bit there when there was a possibility we had Delta in our midst. It's not a good feeling thinking it's lurking waiting for me to pass by. But we didnt have it. Made me realise again how lucky we are. People all over the world have lived with that anxiety for over a year. And now even Australia Down the mines. Darwin even.
I've been reading the free column like a guilty kid stealing icecream just before bedtime. This column tipped me over the edge, and I've subscribed. People who write this well should be paid, and I'm happy to oblige. Thanks so much.
Oh, brilliant! Thank you. Had me subscribing within minutes, and I should have done it long ago. This kind of decency and clarity is priceless in today's gaslit world.
Thanks for, yet again, another thought (and wry grin) provoking piece, David! My only additional thought is this: We should be so proud that, of almost all the countries in the world, we are the ones who can afford to wait until the end of the queue before we are vaccinated. I say this, knowing that my relatives are all on the other side of the planet, and my chances of seeing them soon seems to be a constant "10 months away"...

How many Covid bullets has our wee team of five million dodged now? I've lost count.
So cynical 🤨 but oh so good
Gawd, old Trevor de Cleene eh? <shudder>
Thanks for the giggles - I'm waiting to go into surgery and tittered out loud in the waiting room :)
Wait, what? If you're not yet under, all good thoughts to you.
Thank you :)
