Myocarditis is a rare side effect of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. "The CV-ISMB considered that the myocarditis was probably due to vaccination. The CV-ISMB noted that there were other medical issues occurring at the same time which may have influenced the outcome following vaccination," the board said.
"This is the first case in New Zealand where a death in the days following vaccination has been linked to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine."
The case has now been referred to the Coroner to determine the cause of death. Last month, Medsafe issued a safety alert to raise awareness of the relatively recently discovered side affect; myocarditis. CV-ISMB Chair Dr John Tait reassured health officials are still confident in the use of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in New Zealand. “The Pfizer vaccine is highly effective in protecting against serious illness and death from Covid-19, and we remain confident about using it in New Zealand," he said. The board has advised the Ministry of Health to ensure health professionals are aware of the signs of myocarditis and pericarditis. Up to August 7, five deaths were still under investigation by tjhe Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring over whether they were linked to the vaccine.

Here's our list of the best new-release varieties of edible plants to grow this season.
On TV in the COVID-19 1pm update yesterday Dr Ashley Bloomfield said that the growth in COVID-19 case numbers "is not exponential."
Actually the growth is exponential. See:

🔹The next big deliveries of the Pfizer vaccines are due in October.
🔹All the people (including myself and my man) who have had their appointments postponed or cancelled - WTH???
🔹So many elderly people, health compromised people and dare I say it, front line workers who still haven't been vaccinated (for one reason or another) and yet ... (here we go) the youngsters are getting their vaccinations ahead of the afore mentioned people ... argh!!!!
🔹Then we find out that a new outbreak could risk a Christmas “under some level of restrictions” - betcha that's Auckland!!!!
The list goes on & on! Seriously WTH?
We can't leave to get vaccinated overseas, not that we could or want to in this current climate, but ... come on!!!!
Are we someone's social experiment or are we just someone's really bad example of how to make sure you order more than ENOUGH of any medical items?

250 cars collected 300 food parcels from Vision West’s Pātaka Kai to provide for local families last Friday, a 400 per cent increase on normal days.
Spokesperson Brooke Turner said there is a massive need and it “feels like alert level 5”.
“The most common reason we hear is that cause the kids are at home we burn through supplies faster,” he said.
“There’s far more fear and anxiety with delta variant, we have people coming and getting parcels for their neighbours who are afraid to go out.”
But Brooke said he was proud of the Kiwi spirit to help their neighbours.
“Our staff are remarkably resilient and committed to making sure that people are supported.”
What are you doing to look out for your neighbours this lockdown?

He left to head down to South Auckland as one of the old folk's homes had a wee emergency, and was he gobsmacked to discover a massive line of cars starting from the Henderson Mall area (where the testing station is) and almost completely down the full length of Bruce McLaren Road.
He turned around and went another way.
All the way down to South Auckland, he saw two Police cars.
One on the side of the road with a hand held speed monitor and the other one overtook him on the southern motorway. That was it.
He mentioned that there were hardly any cars or foot traffic in South Auckland, East Tamaki, Papatoetoe. They were all so well behaved.
West Auckland were all in panic mode waiting for hours to be tested.
WHY????
What's wrong with all of you who waited in line today to be tested?
Could you have not waited a few days?
Absolute unorganised mayhem.
Stay calm ... PLEASE.
Waiting for hours is just a complete waste of time. That time could be spent with your loved ones or getting your partner to do all those odd jobs etc ...
We know that the Delta variant is super contagious, so please, please behave as if you have caught it and keep away from everyone or at the very least, keep your distance and wear masks and sanitise everything.
This is a simple home-made lockdown, comfort recipe.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.
Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.
