Well that study shows what the body does with Carbs, take carbs away and it will work with fat to produce the chemicals it needs. Doesn't show it's essential to eat Sugar. You can live very happily without sugar.

Re-Free Vaccines in NZ -
Isn't it nice, all those vaccine companies give you all in NZ completely free jabs. But seems strange they'll do it for NZ but charge every other government around the world, including needing guarantees of physical assets to ensure payment.

But if you're one of those that believe the Pharma companies are doing it of the kindness of their hearts to save the human race, you have absolutely no idea of how to determine the "marketing of science"?.

And testing is fully subsidized here, too.

But then again, we don't have the most expensive healthcare to those who need it, on the planet.

? by your tax dollars to the tune off 41 billion so far.

The Government has indicated that about $62 billion is available over several years for the Covid-19 response (“Covid-19 funding”), including $25 billion allocated to 2019/20 and $16.1 billion for 2020/21.
There is a considerable public interest in how much of the $62 billion of available funding is being spent on the Government’s Covid-19 initiatives (“Covid-19 expenditure”) and, ultimately, what has been achieved with that expenditure.

So someone has an eye on getting at least $62 Billion. Update on the Government’s Covid-19 expenditure


So can you agree that someone in NZ is getting very rich from covid and the taxpayer is getting a big bill.

The cost of the Pfizer vaccine is about $US19.50 per dose.

I think I'd be able to stretch my budget to cover a couple of shots in a year for my self, and my family. But not everyone can stretch that far, and we want everyone to be able to get the vaccination, so it makes sense for the government to use economies of scale to reduce prices, and to ensure no-one is left out.

By far, most of the money the government is budgeting for, to cover COVID-19 contingencies, is going back to the tax payers from whom it was raised, in the form of business and personal continuity payments, to get everyone through the lockdowns. No one person, company or government is accumulating all the wealth.

Do you think it is worth saving less than $40 bucks, but letting a few die?

That's a dose - then there's logistics and the jabber's pay. going with your dose price your spending $204,256,000 Now you are not including costs on Mental health from the other benefits of maybe gaining a few years.
With boosters and variants, where does "life" v Cost start?

You haven't done anything to save lives from any of the profit-making chemicals so your argument of saving a few lives is BS.
