Welcome to the NZ Skeptics newsletter.
This Queen's Birthday weekend I've had the pleasure of travelling to Napier to visit my mother. Last newsletter, Mark mentioned sightings of UFOs in Hawkes Bay, which were likely lenticular cloud formations. Alas, this weekend has seen dull grey skies, so no such luck on my part.
Our attention at the moment seems to be very much directed at health-related stories. Alas, there's much misinformation to be countered. While visiting in Napier, I happened to hear an ad on the radio about COVID, and it saddened me to hear that so much emphasis is being placed on actually dispelling the myths that abound - such as that you can't get COVID from the vaccine, and that it doesn't alter your genes! What a sad world we live in!
