Vaxxed to screenings
The controversial movie Vaxxed: From Cover Up to Catastrophe will screen in the Far North again tonight and tomorrow. Kaitaia GP and former New Zealander of the year Lance O'Sullivan interrupted the viewing of the film in Kaitaia last month, telling the audience their mere presence "will cause babies to die".
Dr O'Sullivan said he had not seen the movie, but did not need to as it opposed vaccination. The movie, which links vaccines with autism and other ailments and suggests a cover-up by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will screen at the RSA in Kerikeri tonight from 7pm and at Kaitaia's Te Ahu Centre tomorrow from 7pm.
Man injured in car fall
A 30-year-old Far North man has been seriously injured after falling off the bonnet of a moving car. Senior Sergeant Brian Swann, of Mid North police, said it was believed the intoxicated man climbed on the bonnet after leaving the Homestead Tavern in Kerikeri on Friday night.
After the fall he was airlifted to hospital by the Northland Rescue Helicopter. His condition at edition time last night was not known. Mr Swann urged anyone who saw the incident, about 12.10am on Saturday, to call the Kerikeri police station on (09) 407 9211.
Callout for twin boys
Police are continuing to appeal for information from the public about 10-year-old twin boys missing for about seven months. Hamiora and Waiariki Chapman, also known as Sam and Storm, have been missing from a foster care home since December. Police released photos of the twins this year as concerns for their health grew.
The brothers were removed from Child, Youth and Family care by family members. Senior Sergeant Stephanie Hudson said information which could help police could be directed to her on 09 430 4500 or phone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
