    I remember him being a strong liaison for the Pasifika community during
    the worst of Covid-19, ensuring that they were not marginalized in terms

    This has "vaccine death" written all over it. What were you saying
    about "selective memory", Lawrence?

    Let's see if the coroner findings are made public, but I certainly don't expect them to blame the vaccine because they never do.

    But then, you would say that, wouldn’t you?

    I agree. He was seen in different contexts, and some of those

    Of course you have to provide an example of when he was criticising a political belief that you hate.
    Just a humble agreement that he is a loss to the human race would have been nice - but you don't do that.
    You have nothing beyond politics and that includes humility.

    Obsession can be for or against an idea or action etc.
    An example is Palestine right or wrong, Israel always wrong or in some cases the reverse. Both are nonsense.

    There are too many questions about the safety of the Covid vaccines to be presumptive. After all Galileo was imprisoned at home for saying that the sun was at the centre of our solar system.

    I agree Tony. To presume that the death of Efeso Collins death had
    anything to do with either Covid Vaccines or Galileo would indeed be presumptive.

    I disagree, as I stated above - the opposite is correct.
