Dáil colleagues wish TD Jennifer Whitmore well after she is admitted to ICU

Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore is recovering in hospital after being admitted to an intensive care unit earlier this week. Her husband, Tony Duddy, posted: “I just wanted to send out a quick message – it’s been a surreal few days. After the excitement of last weekend’s elections, we had a bit of a fright Monday where Jennifer experienced a sudden medical emergency, and I had to call the ambulance. She is still in St Vincent’s hospital, and will be there for another few days at least. She is doing much better but there will be a recovery period, where she will be easing herself back to work."

Steven O’Meagher: Terminally ill filmmaker on a life in storytelling and why New Zealand hasn’t had a top movie in eight years
June 8, 2024
Auckland - One of our most successful television and film producers has terminal cancer. [Paywall]
As I discovered recently (I test the waters occasionally) there is still a vast swath of people, perhaps even the majority, that are rabidly holding onto the narrative of safe and effective and/or it saved us and/or anyone who is critical is a wacko and, get this, "lacks critical thinking skills," LOL. Weird upside down world where people lash out at those who are actually trying to help and draw attention to the truth.
Remember when it was normal to succumb to natural causes at the age of 100 give or take 10 years?
This is NOT normal!
