He was held for 5 years and then strangled in his cell. That's a very low key manner to gain more popularity. Caesar for sure would have made more of a spectacle if that was the case.

This isnt forced representaion. It's happenstance.
New Zealand has already had the world's 1st transgender Mayor and MP when Georgina Beyer got elected. She was very competent in both roles especially being the Mayor in the rural area of Wairarapa.

Their is no obligation of gender equality. No one is saying she got in just to make a 50/50 split.

No one has been elected based on sex and their is no obligation to have a gender balance in Parliament. It is just happenstance.

That's not how it works. There is no obligation to have a 50/50 gender split.

"Pfizer have admitted they did not have any proof the vaccine prevented spreading covid."
https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pfizer-vaccine-transmission-idUSL1N31F20E
"Social media users are circulating video clips of testimony by a Pfizer executive, who is said to “admit” that the company and its partner BioNTech did not test whether their mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine reduced virus transmission prior to rolling it out – which is something the companies were not required to do for initial regulatory approval, nor did they claim to have done.
To get emergency approval, companies needed to show that the vaccines were safe and prevented vaccinated people from getting ill. They did not have to show that the vaccine would also prevent people from spreading the virus to others. Once the vaccines were on the market, independent researchers in multiple countries studied people who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and did show that vaccination reduced transmission of variants circulating at the time."
