A move to the Bay of Plenty has not been enough to shake Gisborne out of their system . . . Mike and Marla Williams retain close links to the district through friends, family and business interests, and want to do right by all of them. They brought John Gillies up to date with a health-related initiative.

Gisborne Herald file picture “We may end up back in New Zealand some day.” The reality turned out to be different from the dream. In the Bay of Islands they got to know some of the ocean sailing community. Many lived a life centred on their travels, and would pick up work where they could between voyages. Mike and Marla wanted eventually to put down roots and raise a family. And while they had anticipated being together for a year, they found that on the water the situation was almost the opposite of what they expected. While one of them was on watch, the other would grab some sleep. Effectively they were alone on deck or below. Mike said that halfway to Tahiti they decided this was not a lifestyle to which they were suited. They turned around and headed back to New Zealand. They sold their boat Te Ora in the Bay of Islands, to an Auckland couple who had long dreamed of going on ocean voyages, and took them on a short familiarisation trip in the Bay of Islands. They don’t know whether they made any voyages. Mike and Marla ended up going back to Canada after they sold their boat because their New Zealand work visas had run out. “We were in Canada for two years and came back to Auckland in early 1984, obtained New Zealand citizenship in the mid-80s and have lived here ever since, apart from holiday trips to Canada,” Mike said. He and Marla were friends of another Canadian couple at Cook Hospital — the husband a doctor, the wife an audiologist. Hearing about the wife’s work, Mike decided that was what he wanted to do, and he completed a two-year Master of Audiology course at the University of Auckland. His first placement was at Middlemore Hospital. They moved to Gisborne in 1993 for Mike to establish the audiology department at Gisborne Hospital and to enjoy the Gisborne lifestlyle after their time in busy Auckland. Marla joined the Kaiti Medical Centre practice. Later, Mike set up his own audiology practice, Eastland Audiology. In Gisborne, they raised two daughters, Joy and Gabrielle, and a son, Nathan. Joy (Cairns) is now a clinical nurse specialist with Hospice Tairawhiti, while Gabrielle and Nathan both live and work overseas. With a daughter and grandchildren in Gisborne, and their investment in the Lytton West shopping centre (which they bought in 2009), Mike and Marla Williams are frequent visitors from the Bay of Plenty. Indeed, they say it is possible that Gisborne will exert its pull on them a third time as their grandchildren grow.

Yet he conjures up the idea 22 23 that patients are not informed. What a hoot! e) He claims the risk of getting Covid is low 24 25 26 27 and that therefore the 95 percent-eff ective vaccine is making a small risk smaller and it’s 28 therefore perhaps not necessary to take. Yet he later rambles on about the USA already 29 30 31 32 33 34 nearing “natural” herd immunity because most 35 36 people would have had it. So what is it then? Fact: Especially with the highly-infectious 37 38 39 40 Delta variant, the probability of getting Covid eventually is very high; and the risk of getting 41 serious Covid is high for a very large number of people. We have to rely on the vaccine to get 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 us the immunity we need to eventually reopen 51 52 53 54 our borders. f) He claims that “good” immunity, vitamins, 55 56 57 58 hydroxychloroquine and so forth can help. Good immunity is certainly helpful, but the 59 Sars-CoV-2 virus is a nasty beast and many healthy and young people have died from the 60 61 62 63 64 disease or developed long-lasting disabilities. After studies with thousands of patients, it is 65 clear that hydroxychloroquine is not helpful. 66 67 68 69 70 Vaccinating the vast majority of our population as soon as possible is the best 71 way forward for our nation. Sadly this misinformation by Dr Canaday is likely to 72 73 74 75 76 cause death among some of the vulnerable population whom he talks out of getting the 77 78 79 shot, and those who they then also infect. Dr Canaday will hopefully be held 80 81 responsible for his actions. Even though this Dr 82 is retired, he is still bound by the Hippocratic oath he once had to take and the fact he is 83 84 85 medically trained should count as evidence against him, as he cannot claim ignorance.
