Last week we published an article “The Latest Figures Show the Alarming Depth of the NZ Health Crisis” in which we reported a massive 33% rise in serious conditions at NZ EDs since the use of Covid mRNA vaccines. The rise in sickness has not plateaued, it is accelerating. This article examines crucial factors that are influencing the record rise in medical emergencies and the reasons behind Health NZ’s lack of an effective response.
Lack of understanding
Almost all the political parties competing for our vote in November have put up a united front pretending that the health crisis is solely due to mismanagement and lack of resources. This shows a complete misunderstanding of the depth of the crisis and its timing, which coincided with the vaccine rollout. Our health service, its managers, consultants and GPs have failed to appreciate that the unique extent and timing of sickness requires proper investigation. They have failed to undertake a comprehensive assessment of health crisis outcomes by vaccine status, disease type and age using statistical methods such as panel regression analysis that can identify causal factors.
The reasons behind this lack of investigation are simple. There is still a presumption of safety and efficacy concerning gene-based technology. In other words, there is a false perception that gene technology is miraculously safe and effective. The medical profession, the public, our politicians and the media have been conditioned by a constant barrage of publicity generated by the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. These industries rely on a continuous stream of investment and massive government contracts to keep their gravy train running. Hence they trumpet promises of future success (which is always just around the corner) and gloss over the glaring deficiencies and disasters.
To keep this deception going, there are some key messages that have been drummed into the public time and again which actually ignore standard scientific principles and practice. We enumerate some of what has been omitted as follows:
1. mRNA vaccines have a broad spectrum effect on health. A false idea has been promoted that you only need to investigate the health impacts of Covid mRNA vaccines with reference to Covid infection itself and a very limited range of historically recognised vaccine side effects. mRNA vaccines directly edit pathways of genetic expression inside the cell, something that is entirely novel in vaccine technology. It was already recognised in the published scientific literature pre-Covid that genetic interventions are inherently mutagenic and may result in unexpected adverse effects. Therefore there was an established scientific protocol to look for unanticipated effects and monitor health outcomes over an extended period following genetic experimentation. This has not happened. The health service has clung, against all the evidence and against safe practice, to a myopic and strictly limited view of possible Covid vaccine side effects. Thereby serious short and long term outcomes have been excluded from investigation.
2. Claims of health and safety can only be substantiated by evidence. It is nonsense to claim that an entirely novel genetic intervention given to almost all of the population is safe, when the rate of sickness in the general population subsequently increases to record levels and is accelerating. Such an ignorant presumption of safety was behind the four year gap when the thalidomide tragedy remained unrecognised while prescriptions of the drug continued, despite cases of adult nerve damage and birth defects occurring.
3. Scientific uncertainty. The biotechnology community developed and marketed mRNA vaccines without knowing their exact pathways of action. They still don’t. The complexity is beyond current science which should have led to extreme caution in their deployment. The media never gave voice to the level of uncertainty which has been evident right from the start in the published literature. Nor were retractions made when it became very evident that mRNA vaccines did not prevent infection, transmission or mortality.
It is important to go into detail to explain the devastating combined effect of these three factors which are still compounding the national health crisis today. Just one example among the many missteps will throw light on the situation.
By 2023 it was widely realised that people who received an mRNA vaccination after a prior Covid infection had a different adaptive immune response from those that received an mRNA vaccine before any exposure to Covid (For example see this study “Class switch towards spike protein-specific IgG4 antibodies after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination depends on prior infection history”). Specifically, levels of IgG4 are higher in those who took the vaccine before infection. Another paper entitled “IgG4 Antibodies Induced by Repeated Vaccination May Generate Immune Tolerance to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein” also published in 2023 concluded:
“Emerging evidence suggests that the reported increase in IgG4 levels detected after repeated vaccination with the mRNA vaccines may not be a protective mechanism; rather, it constitutes an immune tolerance mechanism to the spike protein that could promote unopposed SARS-CoV2 infection and replication by suppressing natural antiviral responses. Increased IgG4 synthesis due to repeated mRNA vaccination with high antigen concentrations may also cause autoimmune diseases, and promote cancer growth and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals.”
The finding of increased IgG4 concentrations has generated a large volume of research and commentary that continues but remains unresolved to this day. As an example, view this five minute extract of a video recently made by Canadian consulting genomist Dr. Mikolaj Raszek, someone we have occasionally referenced in our reports. Seven years on from Covid’s first appearance, Dr Raszek looks under pressure or even haggard as he addresses the uncertainty surrounding IgG4 and Covid, how it might be generated and what it might do to the immune system. Behind the scientific debate is a false assumption that elevated IgG4 levels could only be relevant to Covid infection. But our level of scientific understanding of Covid mRNA vaccines is actually insufficient to answer this question. In other words, a doctrine has emerged “look no further than Covid infection”. This leaves the medical community safely hiding behind the three monkeys who “see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil”.
Kiwis are unique in as much as almost the entire population was exposed to the Covid vaccine before Covid infection. In other words they are likely to have higher IgG4 concentrations. This means there is some uncertainty about how this has affected population levels of general immunity in NZ. Now look at the hugely elevated levels of ED presentations which started in tandem with the Covid vaccination rollout, and ask yourself could this be related? Until Health NZ investigates, analyses and/or publishes the data, we can merely speculate. Currently the medical profession and the government are following a misguided tack. They are investigating and punishing those who questioned mRNA vaccine safety like Dr Matt Shelton. As a result, those falling sick with cancers, heart disease, infections, inflammatory and neurological conditions in record numbers remain in ignorance of a possible cause, just as mothers giving birth to thalidomide babies did for years.
We started by saying that parties and candidates vying for our vote in November are largely uninformed about the health crisis. This is an understatement. On Saturday at our local farmers market four members of the Green Party (young and old) were shilling for our vote. A conversation ensued in which they suggested that the unvaccinated moved about in society with ‘symptomless Covid???’infecting innocent vaccinated individuals. According to their dialogue, the unvaccinated are heartless, antisocial and selfish. Therefore it is essential, they said, to reinstate vaccine mandates. On these points their misguided certainty was impervious to debate or scientific reality. They concluded by asking for our vote to atone for our past ‘sins’. The media carry a great deal of fault in this situation, they have never addressed the huge gap between political fantasies about Covid and the published science and health outcomes data. We might well worry about what might happen after the election. As we have previously reported NZ First is alone among the major parties that has listened and put forward a health policy that addresses some of the key concerns we are raising.
