Nitrogen fertiliser makes us money, but survey shows NZ’ers don’t think it's worth it

Why new Covid-19 antiviral drugs are not a replacement for the vaccine

The Government has purchased 120,000 courses of two antiviral medications for treating Covid-19. But what is antiviral medication, how does it work, and do you still need to get the vaccine?

Some of these prevent infections and the spread of the virus like social distancing, mask use and vaccines. Others treat people who are already infected with coronavirus. In public health, pre
