Cost Of Living And Economic Collapse

So they gave them the jab, shrank the tumours in more than a third of patients within weeks, by the way, and in 15 of those people, it the tumour was gone all together. Now they've done it largely on heck and uh head and neck cancer and also trialing it on lung cancer, trying it on some other cancers now. This is cool. I always try I hate trying to pronounce these things because you sound like you have no idea what you're talking about, and frankly, that's true. Ami Vantamab, I think, which is uh being developed by Johnson and Johnson. The other one is a pill, which has been found to it doesn't get rid of the cancer, but it it helps people survive the cancer for longer. And this is for advanced pancreatic cancer. With if you if you know anything about cancer, you know, this is the one that's re this is a killer. Really hard to survive this. Um this particular one gets the survival time up from just over six months to over a year. This one's called Dirac Son Rassib. I reckon I get good marks actually for pronouncing those properly. So there you go. There's always and cause because of the number of people who have to suffer with this stuff. This news is always promising and hopeful, isn't it? So it's good to hear that there's some stuff coming down the pipeline. Now, um, I think this is something to keep and keep an eye on with sifts. I hope this there was a story in the papers over the weekend in the Herald, and I hope this gets taken further because this is a disgrace. This is Aurangatiki, this is the name they go by now. Um, which I could say I was surprised and I'm not. A woman has gone public with with what's happened to her, she's got a pseudonym. And um, what happened to her is she had to hire a lawyer to save a baby that wasn't hers because Aurangatamariki, who are supposed to save these babies, was not going to. So what happened is she had a relationship with the father of this baby years and years and years ago, and they have a child together, a daughter. So she hears from her daughter that dad is having another baby, baby's about to be born. Problem is dad is now a drug addict and a drug dealer and living in a car with his partner. So she tries to warn Oranga Tamariki. This woman is not the mother of the baby, no blood relation to the baby, only the mother of the baby's sister, right? So she tries to but good good heart, obviously, tries to warn Oranga Tamariki. Um, they do nothing. Baby is born. The hospital staff realize they've got a problem on their hands, so they try to do something about it. They try to keep the baby in the mum in hospital for a bit longer, and I think they managed to stretch it out for four days, because they're hoping OT staff will come by and see what's going on, like you know, and intervene. OT staff never show up. So the woman, the baby is now born. So the woman calls OT again to intervene. OT doesn't do anything about it, but fortunately, the case worker says to her and is honest about it and says to her, they're too busy to save the baby, so she needs to get her own lawyer, do it herself, because that's gonna work faster than they are able to, which is frankly a sad admission, but at least a helpful one. So the woman does it, gets herself a lawyer, gets a court order, has the baby within a week. Problem is, just in that time, just the three days that those two had the baby in the car, damage is done. Been exposed to P has a head injury, dirty, lethargic, clearly unwell. Pediatric assessment says she's got a stracture she's sustained a fractured skull and has a brain bleed. She has suffered significant impreventable harm. The baby is now, so that was three years ago. Baby's now three, three and a half years old, still has physical effects of what took place in that first week of her life. She lives with the woman. OT has apologized for it, but in the apologies misspells the baby's name, so that doesn't give you much hope, does it? They say we acknowledge in this case we should have provided greater support, including more timely engagement and referrals to appropriate community agencies. Yeah, think. Anyway, the problem is, and why I'm drawing this to your attention is in almost all the cases of babies dying in this country. OT already knows about the baby. OT is already involved. The babies largely die under OT supervision or care, or at least them knowing that something's up. They are really bad at their jobs. So keep an eye on this, because at some stage we're gonna have to figure out how to do this better. This can't keep happening. Nine away from nine.
