New large study indicates vaccines protective against long COVID

A new study of almost 1.2 million people in Hong Kong demonstrates the protective effect of COVID-19 vaccination against long COVID, and suggests that the more doses people have had the less likely they experience long-term symptoms related to the virus.

But wait, there's more! Shoot guns! Die early wherever possible! Do more jail time! Apologise to actual mercenaries! Get covid! Get covid again! Get measles! Rewrite history as recently as 4 years ago! Vape in schools as long as you don't use your mobile! A rat for every supermarket in the nation!

"Additionally, the cost of a sleeper-train ticket can replace a hotel stay, as well as covering the travel itself. So the potential market covers a wider price spectrum, including students and budget travellers."

Bunnies used for science at Auckland University need forever home Thousands of rabbits are used for science every year, most not making it out alive - but these seven lucky little bunnies are now in search of their forever home.
