One Last Throw of The Dice For Humanity

Professor Michael Plank of Covid-19 Aotearoa Modelling and Te Punaha Matatini is a mathematical biologist and epidemiologist commissioned by the New Zealand government to deliver mathematical modelling of COVID-19 in support of the pandemic response.

Today, he advised us all to roll the genetic dice one more time and get another COVID-19 mRNA vaccine to avoid winter illness. Is he up to date on the risks for the individual and humanity? Let’s find out.

This article is available as a PDF document to download/print or share.


A team of doctors at the authoritative Harvard Medical School is offering us another opinion in the journal The Neurohospitalist under the title “Fatal Post COVID mRNA-Vaccine Associated Cerebral Ischemia”. The study discusses a case of a thirty-year-old female recipient of the Moderna mRNA Covid shot who subsequently developed circulatory and inflammatory problems in her brain followed by a fatal stroke. The authors conclude:

“The side effects of COVID-19 infection and vaccination are still incompletely understood….clinicians should be aware of presentations like this one.”

Individual risks are growing with each vaccine

As we pointed out in our last article, the medical authorities really don’t know what is causing a surge in winter illness coming on top of our already overwhelmed hospital system. In an interview with Jamie Morton of the NZ Herald, Professor Plank references new so-called FLiRT variants of the JN.1 Covid strain. Rather than pressing the fear button and urging one more throw of the COVID-19 vaccine dice, Professor Plank might have drawn upon a couple of principles from Virology 101.

At this point in the pandemic, the biggest drivers of COVID variation are actually COVID-19 vaccines. The more Covid vaccines, the more Covid variants. Variants are running into uncountable millions. Among them, Covid variants that evade COVID-19 vaccines are set to flourish and spread.

Secondly, as we have referenced previously, repeated doses of Covid vaccines cause Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS).

Thirdly, as is now admitted in the scientific literature, the more mRNA COVID-19 vaccine doses you have, the more exposed you become to serious risks, including heart disease, stroke and cancer.

We reported just days ago that prominent vaccine advocate Dr. Vinay Prasad is now suggesting that the evidence shows the risk of serious illness following mRNA Covid vaccination outweighs any potential benefit.

The gene illusion that is killing us

Possibly, Professor Plank doesn’t read the Hatchard Report. Nor does it appear that Jennifer Doudna, inventor of the CRISPR gene editing technique. Doudna is an unrepentant advocate of our individual and collective biotechnology future. In her book “A Crack in Creation: Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution” Doudna says:

“Armed with the complete CRISPR toolkit, scientists can now exert nearly complete control over both the composition of the genome and its output.”

On a more sober note, Doudna continues:

“The power to control our species’ genetic future is awesome and terrifying. Deciding how to handle it may be the biggest challenge we have ever faced.”

But don’t think that means Doudna has embraced precautionary thinking, she describes belief in the safety of gene editing as the “scientific consensus” and continues “….have no doubt, this technology will — someday, somewhere — be used to change the genome of our own species in ways that are heritable, forever altering the genetic composition of human kind.”

In fact Doudna has no doubt that critics of rampant gene editing are fools, she is appalled by their ignorance. And concludes “human gene editing would almost assuredly never have the same catastrophic consequences as the detonation of a nuclear weapon”.

Doudna was writing in 2017 before the pandemic. Her assurances of safety were worthless. The millions of pandemic deaths that have scarred the world had not yet happened in 2017, but already an obscure laboratory in Wuhan was busy using Doudna’s CRISPR techniques to perform clandestine experiments to enhance coronaviruses. In effect, they were busy weaponizing a version of the highly infectious common cold. Gain of function experiments that would end up editing humanity.

The New York Post yesterday published an article entitled “Explosive emails show top NIH adviser deleted records, used ‘secret’ back channels to help Fauci evade COVID transparency“. Newly uncovered documents show those responsible, including Anthony Fauci in America conspired to cover up the truth about Wuhan and the origins of Covid. Well they might, that truth is just as explosive and devastating as nuclear detonation. As in war, millions have died as a result of CRISPR gene editing.

We have only just begun to realise how much humanity has been edited.

We have reported on the health effects of the pandemic and the Covid vaccines, but the true extent of the violent effects of the pandemic and our response to it are extraordinary and far reaching.

A lengthy article in the New York Times is entitled “How the Pandemic Reshaped American Gun Violence”. To assess the impact of the pandemic years, the New York Times created a map of every gun homicide in the United States since 2020, using data collected from the police and news media accounts by the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive.

The analysis revealed that gun deaths spread like a virus into new neighbourhoods during the pandemic: An additional 8.7 million Americans now live on a block near a gun homicide — a 23 percent increase from the pre-pandemic years.

Whilst gun violence is rife in America, we don’t have any cause for complacency here in lightly armed New Zealand. We too have suffered an unprecedented rash of violent crime and behaviour.

So can we lay some of the senseless violence and destructive behaviour at the feet of Covid vaccines? Short answer: no one knows. Suffice to say that the genetic mechanisms in our cells support not just our health but also our behaviour and crucially our consciousness.

I sat having my haircut a few days ago as the hairdresser sagely informed me that health all comes down to genes. This popular notion that we need to get our genes corrected is an illusion. That is the last thing we should be doing.

There is a fine line between truth and illusion, between empathy and hatred, discrimination and prejudice, and between humanity and the pitilessness of animal predatory behaviour. How our genes keep us on the right side of kindness is unknown. Our knowledge about the effect of gene editing on consciousness is still a blank slate. On that blank slate, like the entrance to Dante’s inferno, we should write “abandon hope all who enter here”.

Truly as Doudna said “The power to control our species’ genetic future is awesome and terrifying” but not in the sense that she meant ‘awesome’. We should rather reference the awesome shadow of Hiroshima and the Holocaust, and so should Doudna now if she has any post-pandemic common sense and wisdom of hindsight.

One Speaks Out Among The Silent Majority

So there is at least one New Zealand official who is prepared to put their little finger up above the parapet. Coroner Sue Johnson has ruled that the death of Dunedin man Rory Nairn from post-vaccine myocarditis may have been prevented if he had been given more information before consenting to the Covid mRNA vaccination that later claimed his life. Her report highlights failures in informing the public of risks.

This article is available as a PDF document to download/print, or share, or you can listen to Guy here.

If you thought there might be some justice coming down the pipeline, think again. Health and Disability Commissioner Morag McDowell received a referral from the Coroner asking her to investigate. She has now issued a report. This identifies glaring failures of vaccination providers to inform consumers of the known risk of myocarditis and the urgent need to go to hospital if you had chest pains, but then concludes there is no need for disciplinary action due to the unprecedented circumstances of the worldwide pandemic.

Join with me in a deep groan of agonised incomprehension. How could this white washing happen?

Last week Stats New Zealand released the Births and Deaths update to March 2024. In summary:

Our birth rate, which was stable from 1975 to 2013, has declined 30% since that time. Last year the birth rate declined by a further 4%. Down by 2,500 births. The total fertility rate was 1.52 births per woman, down from 1.65. You need this figure to be around 2.1 to avoid population decline.

Our infant mortality has plateaued, reversing the previous decades long trend of gradual improvements.

Gratifyingly, our death rate declined compared to the previous year to 37,623 deaths, down from 38,835. However, this is still well above the pre-pandemic rate. We have calculated the rate of excess deaths allowing for population changes. Compared to the five years before the pandemic, the last five years have seen a cumulative total of 3,529 additional excess deaths.

To put this in perspective, the total is equivalent to 69 Christchurch Mosque Attacks or 18 Christchurch earthquakes. It is also 9 times higher than our current homicide rate. If you put these astronomical figures next to the refusal of the Health and Disability Commissioner and hundreds of other officials, parliamentarians, and medicos to take any disciplinary action, you can re-appraise it as an extraordinary act of looking the other way faced with a stealthy but deadly plague of serial killers in our midst.

Especially worrying is the lack of detail in the births and deaths report. The break downs are limited to age, sex and ethnicity, not by cause of death. We don’t know what these people are dying from. We know from hints that cardiac deaths and cancer deaths are up, but by how much and in what categories? Without this information you can’t craft any appropriate response to the health crisis. Hospitalisation and disability rates are admitted to be way up and out of control, but again the official stats are limited to things like emergency response times. Why this lack of detail?

We have recently reported snippets of overseas data. For example from leading UK oncologist Professor Angus Dalgleish which suggests reactivations of melanomas, lymphomas, leukaemias, colorectal, and kidney cancers. A Japanese study indicates increases in all cancer types after the third mRNA Covid booster. Dr. Frizzelle of Otago Medical School let slip in a recent interview that the rate of colorectal cancers in young NZers accelerated in 2022. How serious are these trends and how concerned should we be?

We are getting a lot of waffle from mainstream media. For example from Stuff newspaper “What illnesses are currently making Kiwis sick?” And the NZ Herald says “Why is everyone sick right now?”. These offer us a potpourri of what the Stuff health correspondent Hannah Martin refers to as ‘the usual winter culprits’—coughs, colds, flu, COVID-19, whooping cough, and RSV. Is this the extent of it? No.

If you want a reality check, try the 2023 emergency response report of Hato Hone St John ambulance service. In 2014 there were 99 ambulance call outs per 1000 people. In 2023 there were 130 ambulance callouts per 1000 people. That is an alarming 16% rise over 2019 and steady compared to 2022. These increased call outs are not for coughs and colds and they are not going away.

So why aren’t alarm bells ringing in the corridors of power, the medical establishment or the public arena here or overseas? Part of the answer was revealed by the UK Daily Telegraph last week in a piece of real investigative journalism entitled “The four-step ‘playbook’ the NHS uses to break whistleblowers“. The authors interviewed doctors who raised patient safety concerns. They recount how they were confronted with systemic bullying and harassment from managers and colleagues along with a culture of cover-up. The article covers multiple cases where:

“Law firms and private investigators are also often brought in to investigate the whistleblower, who is then told they are being suspended. Years of internal investigations, disciplinary hearings and legal battles typically follow, until medics succumb to the personal, professional and financial pressure and quit. Many doctors who have decades of expertise in their field and distinguished careers are reduced to depression and suicidal thoughts by the situation they find themselves in. Some sign non-disclosure agreements, enabling them to return to work if they promise to keep their mouths shut, others try to fight back through the High Court or employment tribunals, and others leave the NHS for private hospitals or quit the medical profession altogether.”

The evidence collected by The Telegraph suggests NHS employers are more likely to investigate the conduct of whistleblowers than the issue they have raised. Of the 52 medics interviewed by this newspaper, 41 said their own conduct was put under investigation. They were all subjected to counter-allegations after raising concerns.

One typical example involved Jasna Macanovic, a consultant hepatologist at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, who raised concerns with the Care Quality Commission about an “innovative” dialysis technique being used by her colleagues, which she said amounted to harmful experimentation. The CQC visited the trust to investigate, and within days of inspectors departing, Dr Macanovic was herself put under investigation. Ultimately Macanovic was cleared, but only after months of harassment.

Such ‘investigations’ often involve intimidating police interviews of the whistleblower. Another consultant told The Telegraph the investigative processes “give hospital management unbelievable power with no accountability. Essentially the NHS trusts investigate themselves, mark their own homework, and they become the judge, jury and executioner for the whistleblower all in one go.”

The four step process outlined and documented by the Telegraph is as follows:

Step 1: Investigate the whistleblower

Step 2: Bully and intimidate

Step 3: Weaponise General Medical Council referrals

Step 4: Demotion, disciplinary action and dismissal

The parallels with the treatment of the many conscientious New Zealand doctors struck off or suspended for advising their patients that COVID mRNA vaccines came with risks are obvious. Likewise, the Health Service whistleblower Barry Young who simply asked why so many people died after COVID-19 vaccination. He still faces court prosecution rather than any sort of internal assessment of mortality data.

The Health and Disability Commissioner should have noted that many doctors did tell their patients to beware of unquantified Covid vaccine risks. History is on their side. They have been validated by research findings and public health data. They should be acknowledged and praised, instead they remain sidelined, impoverished and discarded by the Medical Council of New Zealand who should have been reprimanded by the Commissioner.

At the root of the absolute refusal of the New Zealand medical establishment to acknowledge the failings and extent of the problems associated with mRNA vaccines is an appalling ignorance of the ABCs of the risk and safety profile of genetic interventions. We have documented some of these in our articles collected at GLOBE. It is time to speak up en masse.

Some People Are Planning a New Future for Us All

What Sort of Future Should We Be Planning for Ourselves?

You may remember a couple of months ago that a man in the US received a kidney transplant from a genetically modified pig. This was the result of years of research and animal genetic modification carried out by multiple teams of researchers at a cost of many billions of dollars. In late March, the operation was hailed as a success and heralded by the world’s media and scientific journals as a beacon of hope for all people awaiting transplants. The prestigious scientific journal Nature announced it opened the door for an era of xenotransplanted (animal to human) organs.

This article is available as a PDF document to download/print, or share, or you can listen to Guy here.

The recipient, Richard Slayman, died suddenly a few days ago, just five weeks after being pronounced well and being discharged from hospital. His doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) said on Sunday “there was no indication his death was a result of the transplant”. Please forgive my scepticism and crudity, but this reminds me of Peter Sellers as Dr. Clouseau in a lift who creates a bad smell then leaves someone standing next to him to take the fall.

To add insult to injury, following Mr Slayman’s death, Joren C. Madsen, Director of the MGH Transplant Center emphasised the significance of Mr Slayman’s contribution to medicine saying “Mr. Slayman becomes a beacon of hope for countless individuals suffering from end-stage renal disease and opens a new frontier in organ transplantation.” I suppose to say anything else like “we got it wrong” or “we are not sure what went wrong” or “this is a setback for xenotransplantation” or even “sorry, we overhyped this” might have dried up MGH’s funding.

I think you can see there is nothing routine or even conceivably financially viable about a procedure carried out on one person that absorbs billions of dollars and fails. To say that this will benefit “countless individuals” is just baseless hype. There is currently no basis to suggest that any such procedure will become viable for large numbers of individuals or more importantly no indication that it can be made to work safely for even one individual.

In another billion dollar misstep, after years of questionable research on animals, a Neuralink implant has mysteriously become detached from the first human patient’s brain. The patient, Noland Arbaugh, underwent surgery in February to attach a Neuralink chip to his brain, but the device’s functionality began to decrease within the month after his implant. Some of the device’s threads, which connect the miniature computer to the brain, had begun to retract.

According to the Guardian report, Neuralink, which Elon Musk owns and which was valued at about $5bn last year, has widely touted the success of its first implant, positioning itself as a world leader in brain-chip technology. Although the device is still in its early stages, the company’s disclosure brings more attention to the untested and complicated nature of the experimental procedure.

These are two cases of hugely costly invasive implantations carried out on single volunteers that have ended in setbacks or death. As you know, we are concerned at the Hatchard Report about another failed genetic intervention, (which increasingly looks like a genetic implantation), carried out on billions of individuals, in most cases without their informed consent and in many others against their will.

This brings me to a paper published in the journal Vaccine in April entitled “COVID-19 vaccines and adverse events of special interest: A multinational Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) cohort study of 99 million vaccinated individuals” whose co-authors include or own Dr. Helen Petousis-Harris of the University of Auckland. We have commented on the worrying findings and deficiencies of this paper previously including its failure to investigate cancer incidence and other possible adverse effects, but I thought you would like to know that even ardent vaccine advocates are weighing into the debate on our side.

Vinay Prasad MD MPH is a hematologist-oncologist and Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California San Francisco. He runs the VKPrasad lab at UCSF, which studies cancer drugs, health policy, clinical trials and better decision making. He is author of over 500 academic articles, and the books Ending Medical Reversal, and Malignant. He has analysed the paper on his YouTube channel and other blogs and is currently preparing an academic paper on the subject.

hatchardreport.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

Dr. Prasad comments that this paper shows a number of very concerning safety signals across a number of domains including myocarditis, ITP (immune thrombocytopenic purpura), Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell’s Palsy, ADEM (acute disseminated encephalomyelitis), pulmonary embolism, febrile seizures and more. More importantly he picks apart the methods used in the study and concludes that it significantly underestimates the rate of adverse effects.

Dr. Prasad goes on to describe the paper as ‘unnerving’ because it shows that the harms of the mRNA Covid vaccines clearly outweigh the benefits for many age cohorts and possibly most cohorts. On this basis he questions the wisdom and ethics of the medical authorities who mandated Covid vaccines. His short video (linked above) is well worth a view and remember this is an eminent vaccine advocate speaking out and blowing the whistle on the unthinking and unconscionable decisions of our medical tsars and physicians. You can’t sanitise this sort of behaviour, we have been lied to and now that the truth is coming out, no one wants to own up.

At the Hatchard Report, we want to maintain a commitment to positive solutions. In my book Your DNA Diet (to order go here), I outline the four areas of life that we can directly control ourselves: Experience, Behaviour, Food and Consciousness. We have referenced in other articles improved routines involving adequate exercise and rest; lighter, more nourishing natural food choices; and a routine of meditation, breathing exercises and yoga postures, but what kinds of practices can improve Experience?

There is a fundamental rule of experience: ‘what you pay attention to grows stronger in your life’ or rather ‘what you see is what you become’. The converse of this is expressed in the saying: ‘where is the time for the unwanted?’ In the field of experience we have to exercise discrimination. It is easy to fall into patterns of experience that are undesirable, especially in the internet era. There are two ways we can control this.

Firstly the most powerful path to wisdom is to follow the joy. Respect that inner voice which tells you if something is good. A walk in the morning sun by the beach is healing. A concert, a play, a get together with friends, a celebration of achievements or a milestone should not be postponed. Our choices should favour joy.

Secondly, if you know something is wrong or not useful, but you still feel compelled to participate, the technique to deal with it is to postpone. Maybe it feels too hard to decide to stop smoking altogether, but you can easily say to yourself I’ll postpone smoking for today, and then tomorrow, and so on.

I was strongly reminded this week of the need for faith, hope, and charity. Faith is a choice, hope is a necessity, and charitable actions that help create a brighter future should not be postponed.

Blatant Disregard for the Tragic Facts

An update from the Covid Royal Commission of Inquiry

This week my closest friend and colleague from university days passed away from cancer. It came on very suddenly, with no time to say goodbye or offer support. Although we both agreed about the lab origin of COVID-19 because of our mutual connections with the biotechnology research community, unfortunately, we differed in our attitude to the COVID-19 vaccine. My friend trusted his doctor’s advice.

This article is also available as a PDF document, to print, download or share.

The effects of gene editing cannot be contained, any mistakes can spread without limit and persist through generations. Nothing highlights this more than the very long tail of the pandemic. Highly vaccinated countries are still suffering elevated rates of excess deaths and record levels of hospitalisation years later. The BBC reported in March for example: “Sick people leaving workforce at record highs“.

When I spoke about my friend’s death to an acquaintance working for the health service, they mentioned their friend and others who had similarly passed away unexpectedly and too soon. They asked me, “Had I heard of the term sniper alley?” and explained that it is as if we are all in a narrow alleyway being shot at from a hidden location. You never know who will be hit next.

Mainstream media is full of tragic cases these days. This article in the New Zealand Herald entitled “Bowel cancer rates rising among New Zealanders under 50 years old, driving calls for even lower screening age” is typical. The article reports a study showing that rate of early-onset bowel cancer increased steadily in New Zealand between 2000 and 2020. In other words, in common with many Western countries, more people under the age of 50 are tragically diagnosed with bowel cancer. The rate had been increasing by 2.3% per year.

The study covers the twenty-year period prior to the pandemic, so why am I writing about it? One of the authors of the study, Professor Frank Frizzle, revealed to the Herald that the rate of increase has suddenly accelerated beyond the study period into 2022. He also said that little is known about what is driving the increase here and overseas. This is particularly concerning since young people are smoking less and eating less meat, previously identified risk factors for bowel cancer.

If Frizzle is looking for obvious causes of the long term pre-pandemic trend, he might investigate a recent article from the Brownstone Institute entitled “Prescription Drugs Are the Leading Cause of Death” or he might read this very recent study entitled “Exposure to pesticides and risk of colorectal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis” which found an association between insecticide and herbicide exposure and colorectal cancer.

However, neither of these possible risk factors has suddenly accelerated in 2022, so why have the rates of bowel cancer been accelerating recently in New Zealand? We don’t know because publicly available Health Service cancer data only goes to the end of 2021. In fact, we don’t know why our hospitals are overcrowded. We don’t know which specific disease rates are higher. Apparently, Professor Frizzle has more up-to-date information, but we don’t. The public is left with gossip from inside the medical profession that we are now living in sniper alley, tragic tales in mainstream media, and heart-rending personal anecdotes like mine and yours.

For the record, a study of cancer mortality in Japan was published in the journal Cureus in April entitled “Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan”. The study found that following vaccination with a third mRNA vaccine dose in 2022, researchers observed “significant excess mortalities” for all cancers.

Well, you might think, we have an ongoing public inquiry into the COVID-19 pandemic taking place here in New Zealand, surely that is going to take note of overseas research findings and answer our questions? Short answer: Not likely based on present evidence. Professor Tony Blakely, Chairman of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Covid Response, issued a public statement on 7th May summarising progress so far with the move to revise its terms of reference. He managed all 900 words without once mentioning COVID-19 vaccine injury.

Blakely identified ‘vaccine effectiveness’ as a topic that might be included in the inquiry, but despite receiving a petition containing over 35,000 signatures expressing concern about vaccine safety, these risks are not mentioned once in his progress report. Professor Blakely seems determined to keep mum and continue to swim against the tide of concern. Despite being an epidemiologist, Prof. Blakely doesn’t mention what has been described elsewhere as the baffling association between excess mortality and Covid vaccination rates. Is he the right man for the job? You tell me.

The New Zealand Herald reprinted an article from the UK Daily Telegraph on Wednesday entitled “AstraZeneca withdraws Covid vaccine, months after admitting rare side effect“. Let’s have more honesty like this. The article preamble notes that 9087 doses of the vaccine were administered in New Zealand, with 319 recipients reporting adverse effects. In the UK, it is officially linked with at least 81 deaths. 50 injured recipients are currently engaged in a class action against the company. These figures are likely to be the tip of the iceberg.

In New Zealand the predominant vaccine has been the mRNA Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. 65,000 adverse effects have been reported to Medsafe, and Pfizer has admitted that there are side effects, including myocarditis, a form of heart disease. A prospective study in Thailand found measurable cardiovascular effects in a staggering 29% of subjects receiving the Pfizer vaccine, but this COVID-19 vaccine has not been withdrawn (review more links here). It is still being promoted here as ‘safe and effective’. New Zealand remains stuck in the COVID dark ages.

Breaking: The Labour Government Deliberately Gaslit the New Zealand Public

The Labour Government deliberately gaslighted the NZ public and hid vital information they received from Five Eyes about the pandemic.

This article is also available as a PDF document that you can print, download, and share. An audio version is available here.

The UK Daily Telegraph has revealed that in January 2021, the United States government shared “gobsmacking” intelligence information with its Five Eyes partners (UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), which suggested a very “high likelihood” that the Covid virus leaked from a Chinese lab. The Five Eyes intelligence-sharing nations were convened to discuss the probability of a lab leak as the US warned that China had covered up research on coronaviruses and military activity at a laboratory in Wuhan.

At the meeting, Mike Pompeo, then US Secretary of State, presented a summary of classified American intelligence reports collected in the early days of the pandemic and compiled by the State Department. The intelligence reports themselves are understood to have been shared separately via the Five Eyes network between October and December 2020.

The research revealed for the first time that Chinese military officials had worked with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the years leading up to the pandemic, and that some researchers at the lab had become ill shortly before the virus was first recorded nearby. It also showed that Chinese scientists had carried out coronavirus “gain of function” research at the institute, which has since become a key piece of evidence for the lab leak theory.

The implication is obvious, the US suspected with good reason that the coronavirus was developed as part of a Chinese bioweapon project

The New Zealand government buried the Five Eyes reports

These early intelligence findings directly contradicted the official position of the New Zealand government, which had endorsed and funded a paper released on 6th September 2020 by Te Punaha Matatini entitled “Evaluating the infodemic: assessing the prevalence and nature of COVID-19 unreliable and untrustworthy information in Aotearoa New Zealand’s social media, January-August 2020”. This paper was produced with the help of academics working at the universities of Auckland, Waikato, and Canterbury. It was funded directly by the Prime Minister’s Department.

The paper specifically labelled any suggestion that the Covid virus came from a biotechnology lab in China or that the Chinese government or military was involved as Xenophobic misinformation and a conspiracy theory. The paper further said these ideas were ‘anti-science’ and linked with ‘conservative political ideology and propaganda’.

The paper also concluded that such information was being created and shared on social media in order to falsely suggest that our government was misleading the public about the pandemic. In fact, it now appears they were.

As is now clear from the information obtained by the UK Daily Telegraph under a US Freedom of Information request, within a month of the publication of the Te Punaha Matatini paper reliable intelligence information was shared with the NZ government which directly contradicted the narrative being promoted by the Prime Minister’s department.

So what did Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins and the government do with this information?

They not only hid it, but they also decided to continue to fund organisations to attack anyone in New Zealand asking questions about Covid origins and Covid vaccine safety. The Disinformation Project grew out of the September 2020 paper. With the financial support of the government it has accrued wide coverage in the media and a deceptive aura of authenticity. It is still active today.

Not only did the Ardern government hide the information it was receiving from its Five Eyes intelligence partners about Covid’s origins, it also kept quiet about information it received from Pfizer in April 2021 detailing a massive range of adverse effects and health issues occurring subsequent to Covid mRNA vaccination.

Worse, they mandated the mRNA Covid vaccines, told the public they were safe and effective, and refused to grant exemptions except to health service cronies. We now know they were playing a double game.

We can only speculate as to what the government’s twisted motivations were. It appears from subsequent events that, for reasons unknown, the government and its advisors didn’t want anything to gain traction in the public awareness that might undermine faith in biotechnology research and medicine. They were prepared to go to great lengths to keep the public in the dark and silence their critics.

Moreover Ardern was becoming a poster child for a global political movement which was labelling free speech a danger to democracy. Yet it is clear from the information that we now have, that reliable reports were being made available to Ardern pointing directly to something fundamentally dangerous about biotechnology. She chose to ignore these facts and gaslight the public with her own brand of disinformation and coercion.

Some media are waking up overseas

Whilst the deficiencies in Covid policy, communication and safety are being widely discussed overseas, NZ is still being kept in the dark. The New York Times which has been a bastion of Covid vaccine promotion for the last three and a half years has suddenly started to come clean. An in-depth article published on May 3rd 2024 written by their health correspondent Apoorva Mandavilli, who has previously vigorously promoted and defended Covid vaccines, is entitled “Thousands Believe Covid Vaccines Harmed Them. Is Anyone Listening?

It says: “Some scientists fear that patients with real injuries are being denied help and believe that more needs to be done to clarify the possible risks.”

It quotes Dr. Janet Woodcock, a longtime leader of the Food and Drug Administration, who retired in February, who said she believed that some recipients had experienced uncommon but “serious” and “life-changing” reactions beyond those described by federal agencies.

“I feel bad for those people,” said Dr. Woodcock, who became the FDA’s acting commissioner in January 2021 as the vaccines were rolling out. “I believe their suffering should be acknowledged, that they have real problems, and they should be taken seriously.”

“I’m disappointed in myself,” she added. “I did a lot of things I feel very good about, but this is one of the few things I feel I just didn’t bring it home.”

The NYT is behind a paywall, but if you want to read a summary of the ground-breaking article try Igor Chudov’s interesting blog on Substack “Pandemic Officials are “Disappointed in Themselves”, per the New York Times

Why does all this still matter so much today?

There is no doubt in hindsight that the Covid era saw the rapid entrenchment of government overreach. The guarantees in our Bill of Rights were trashed and the bill became a worthless piece of paper overnight. This is still continuing. Despite a new government supposedly pledged to conduct a Covid enquiry, we are still waiting for an apology in New Zealand and we are still waiting to hear the truth about Covid and Covid vaccines. The public is still being left in the dark, whilst some elsewhere are waking up.

Unfortunately biotechnology research including gain of function experiments are continuing. Our new government has not heeded the cautionary scientific lessons of the pandemic. The National Party is determined to deregulate biotechnology. In other words they are planning to make the same devastating mistakes again. Biotechnology mistakes cannot be contained; they spread without limit and persist through generations. New mRNA vaccines and medicines are still being rushed to market and widely promoted despite being unsafe. Those injured by the Covid vaccines are still being gaslighted. Our hospitals are overwhelmed with cancers and heart disease. Excess deaths remain high. A dose of reality, responsibility, remorse and remediation is urgently required.

The Hollow Heart of Personalised Genetic Medicine

0

A recent article entitled “Using ChatGPT to predict the future of personalized medicine” in the prestigious journal Nature offers the following outlook:

“Personalised medicine is a novel frontier in health care that is based on each person’s unique genetic makeup. It represents an exciting opportunity to improve the future of individualised health care for all individuals.”

At the centre of the personalised medicine hype is a research field known as pharmacogenomics which aims to study the genetic makeup of individuals in order to optimise drug prescriptions. It is envisioned that future treatments will be algorithm-based instead of evidence-based that will consider a patient’s genetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, epigenetic, and lifestyle factors resulting in individualised medication.

That is a big mouthful; what does it mean? Supposedly, artificial intelligence (AI) tools will analyse the results of various genetic tests, microbiology assays and patient questionnaires and then prescribe what drugs will suit an individual best. The falling cost of genetic testing will, according to enthusiastic advocates, enable this process to become the universal healthcare of the near future.

The article finishes with the caveat: personalised medicine still has several limitations that need to be solved. That is an understatement of gigantic proportions. To understand these limitations, we need to examine how or more correctly if people in medicine are currently using genetic tools to personalise drug prescriptions. In other words, what is really going on here?

A Project to Implement Personalised Medicine

The UK MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency) is currently undertaking an investigation into blood thinners known as Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs). According to the MHRA, these drugs, which include rivaroxaban, dabigatran, apixaban, and edoxaban, have been found to cause serious bleeding in between 2 to 5% of patients. In some cases, this leads to hospitalisation and even death. 1.5 million patients take DOACs in the UK alone.

The MHRA has started genetic testing of patients affected with DOAC bleeding to discover whether they have any special genetic characteristics which predispose them to excessive bleeding. According to Dr. Alison Cave, the MHRA chief safety officer: “The ultimate long-term goal for us is to identify patients most at risk of harm from side-effects with a particular medicine due to their underlying genetic make-up, and avoid them suffering from that harm.”

As she announced MHRA’s move to personalised medicine, Dr. June Raine, the CEO of MHRA predicted: “Almost a third of adverse reactions to medicines could be prevented with the introduction of genetic testing.”

This All Sounds Very Exciting and Hopeful. So What Could Possibly Go Wrong With Personalised Medicine?

Firstly, the scale of the problems associated with modern medical procedures is gargantuan. In 2016, a Johns Hopkins study published in the BMJ found that medical error is actually the third largest cause of death in the USA. Just reflect for a moment. It almost certainly became the leading cause of death during the pandemic.

One problem lies in under reporting of medical error and adverse effects of medicines. Even if medical error occurs, it is seldom listed as a cause of death on death certificates. A 2016 study also estimates that less than 5% of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are reported to the relevant safety authorities.

A 2021 meta analysis entitled “Prevalence of adverse drug reactions in the primary care setting: A systematic review and meta-analysis” investigated the extent of the problem and found that reactions to cardiovascular system drugs were most commonly implicated. These usually involve excessive bleeding following the administration of blood thinners. According to the study, 23% of all adverse drug reactions are preventable. So, is this a powerful argument for personalised medicine? No, because the data, the science, and the known risks do not square with the PR hype.

The 2-5% of people thought to be affected with serious bleeding by DOACs is an under estimate, the likely percentage is much higher due to under reporting of ADRs. Crucially another very important factor to consider is non-adherence to the prescribed drug regime. Only around two thirds of patients persist with DOAC use. Collectively, these factors mean that the real world rate of serious bleeding from DOAC blood thinners possibly exceeds 10% of patients. A very high rate of adverse effects which is no doubt driving MHRA concerns.

The problem doesn’t stop there. Excessive bleeding is not the only adverse effect associated with DOACs. For example, the prestigious Mayo Clinic lists 17 common adverse effects of Rivaroxaban. Other than multiple different types of bleeding, these include paralysis, headache, back pain, bowel or bladder dysfunction, leg weakness and numbness.

Blood thinners aim to reduce blood platelet counts and aggregation because platelets are responsible for clotting and are therefore involved in various types of thrombosis and heart disease, but that is not all platelets do. They also play a vital role in maintaining immunity, preventing tumour growth, maintaining the composition and stability or haemostasis of blood, and preventing leakage from blood vessels which can be associated with the metastasis or spread of cancers. Therefore blood thinners inevitably have a range of serious side effects irrespective of anyone’s genetic composition.

What is the Proposed Net Result of the Current Mhra Personalised Medicine Investigation of Blood Thinners?

In essence, if one type of blood thinner proves unsuitable, doctors will simply recommend another drug.

Patients having an adverse reaction to DOACs are often switched to antiplatelet medications such as Clopidogrol, Ticagrelor, Prasugrel, etc. However, these medications have a broad range of side effects very similar to DOACs. For example, the Mayo Clinic lists 25 common side effects of Ticagrelor antiplatelet medication. Aside from excessive bleeding, these include chest pain, confusion, blurred vision, loss of consciousness, irregular heart beat, paralysis, nervousness, and weakness. Hardly a picture of heart health. These serious side effects are not usually mentioned by doctors. Millions of people are prescribed this class of drug without full disclosure of the serious risks they carry.

Instead, heart patients, those at risk of cardiac events due to age, and even the general population are routinely prescribed various types of blood thinners, anticoagulants, and cholesterol reducing drugs. Their use is always presented as the gold standard with the best possible outcomes. Pressure and fear is exerted, including the threat of early mortality if you don’t comply.

The aim of personalised medicine is not to decrease drug use but rather to personalise drugs, even to increase the use of drugs. Whilst most pharmaceutical drugs entail adverse reactions and unanticipated side effects, drugs that are tailored to genetic characteristics may potentially have even more serious consequences and long term adverse outcomes. This is because genetic systems are involved in all the functions of the physiology, its organs, bio-molecular messaging, and overall immunity.

Are There Alternative Approaches to Cardiac Health That the MHRA Should Be Considering?

A meta-analysis published in the BMJ entitled “Comparative effectiveness of exercise and drug interventions on mortality outcomes: metaepidemiological study” gives an affirmative answer. It concludes:

“Randomised trial evidence on exercise interventions suggests that exercise and many drug interventions are often potentially similar in terms of their mortality benefits in the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, rehabilitation after stroke, treatment of heart failure, and prevention of diabetes…exercise interventions should therefore be considered as a viable alternative to, or alongside, drug therapy.”

Regrettably, the study also concluded:

“Our findings reflect the bias against testing exercise interventions and highlight the changing landscape of medical research, which seems to increasingly favour drug interventions over strategies to modify lifestyle. The current body of medical literature largely constricts clinicians to drug options.”

While little research has been undertaken comparing the relative effects of exercise and drugs on cardiac illness, even less research has been conducted assessing and quantifying the effects of herbal remedies. This is a remarkable omission. Inappropriate diet and lifestyle are arguably the most significant factors contributing to the genesis of heart disease. The corollary of this is highly significant: corrections to diet and lifestyle are the most significant measures that can be taken to avoid and mitigate heart disease.

A paper published in 2019 entitled “Review of herbal medications with the potential to cause bleeding: dental implications, and risk prediction and prevention avenues” describes 20 common herbs which are understood to have antiplatelet, anticoagulant or other relevant actions that could be beneficial for heart disease.

These are: Aloe, Cranberry, Feverfew, Garlic, Ginger, Ginkgo, Meadowsweet, Turmeric, White Willow, Chamomile, Fenugreek, Red Clover, Dong Quai, Evening Primrose, Ginseng, Flaxseed, Grapefruit, Green Tea, Oregano, and Saw Palmetto. The paper discusses their effects based on in vitro experiments, animal studies, individual case studies and theoretical grounds. Sadly the main thrust of the paper is not to investigate their worth but to suggest grounds to prevent their use in conjunction with dental treatment.

Some of the above are reviewed here. Other herbs, fruits or natural compounds understood in herbal lore or traditional systems such as Ayurveda to thin the blood or benefit cardiac conditions include Cayenne Pepper, Vitamin E, Cinnamon, Grape Seed extract, Arjuna, Pineapple, Ashwagandha, Guggul, Amla, Tulsi, Triphala, Rose, Rauwolfia and Water Hyssop.

The absence of any serious attempts on the part of the medical research fraternity to assess their worth in clinical practice speaks volumes about the real intent of the personalised medicine endeavour. This is not just a lost opportunity but a giant mistake and a step in entirely the wrong direction. Moreover the pharmaceutical industry has used its influence with regulators to restrict or ban the availability of many traditional herbs, not because they are harmful but because they may compete with proprietary drugs. This includes many on the above list.

Ayurveda and Traditional Personalised Medicine

In fact Ayurveda and other ancient traditions of natural medicine do operate real personalised systems of diagnosis and treatment. Ayurveda literally means the knowledge of long life. There is a system of pulse diagnosis in Ayurveda known as Nadi Vigyan which, used by the skilled practitioner, is able to diagnose the patient’s medical history and future prognosis based on the vibrations of three qualities in the deep pulse known as Doshas. This knowledge has been kept alive in some Indian families where specific knowledge and herbal lore is carefully passed on to successive generations.

The Materia Medica of Ayurveda lists over 5,000 medicinal herbs along with details of their preparation, action and prescription. The skilled Ayurvedic practitioner closely following traditional methods known as a Vaidya is able to draw upon this vast cornucopia of herbs to mitigate current imbalance and prevent future illness. A consultation with a properly trained and experienced Ayurvedic Vaidya, a Chinese medicine practitioner, a naturopath, herbalist or a holistic health professional can make a very valuable contribution to personal health.

Unfortunately, in recent years, Ayurveda has come under attack from giant pharmaceutical companies who are buying up Ayurvedic manufacturers and then cutting corners by shortening or altering the traditional methods of preparing herbal remedies as well as allowing the substitution of synthetic ingredients for traditional plants. Therefore caution is always advised when sourcing Ayurvedic remedies through the internet. Fortunately there are still some who are sticking to traditional methods and testing for contamination, these include Maharishi Ayurveda and Gopala Ayurveda.

The Indian Government Ministry of Health has a Department of Ayurveda which is seeking to preserve and promote authentic traditional practices. There is now a significant body of scientific research documenting and verifying traditional Ayurveda’s unique and highly effective contribution to health. You can find out more about the wide scope of traditional Ayurveda including its consciousness based approaches to health in my book Your DNA Diet.

Conclusion: Personalised genetic medicine is becoming a new form of drug promotion

Personalised genetic medicine as currently envisioned is a step away from finding safe and effective alternatives to risky modern pharmaceuticals, it is a step towards an era where drug use and experimentation on populations becomes the norm.

The MHRA, in common with most medical regulators, is not considering a future where proven safe natural and cost-effective approaches to heart health including diet and exercise are researched and promoted, rather it is forming an alliance with pharmaceutical companies to entangle a misinformed public in a profitable web of drug use and dependence.

What particularly strikes us is the essential madness of the personalised genetic medicine dream that is being pushed on the public using PR hype. So-called personalised medicine ultimately involves the replacement of personal doctors and medical professionals with impersonal AI programmed to push drugs.

The promised benefits are so unrealistic that they qualify as pure fantasy. It appears those paid to promote the concept of personalised medicine are poorly informed about the capabilities, accuracy and interpretation of genetic testing and assessment; and about the well known risks and uncertainties of genetic medicine and many pharmaceutical drugs.

NZ Coroner’s Ruling on 13-Year-Old’s Sudden Post-Vaccine Death: Was It Right?

Was the NZ Coroner right to rule that he couldn’t determine the cause of the sudden death of a 13 year old boy following Covid vaccination?

In any case, what should the coroner have said and who or what is to blame for the tragic death?

The NZ Herald reports this morning the ruling of the coroner Robin Kay in the case of a healthy 13 year old boy who died suddenly as a result of myocarditis (heart inflammation) 10 days after Covid-19 mRNA vaccination. Despite the fact that myocarditis is a known and recognised side effect of Covid mRNA vaccination, the coroner said he couldn’t decide what the exact cause of death was because, on the advice of ‘experts’, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that the myocarditis was caused by viral particles.

Evaluating the Coroner’s Decision: The Need for Scientific Rigor in Judging Individual Cases

It is true that in an individual and tragic case of young sudden death such as this, there will always be an element of doubt, so was there doubt in this case, and what should the coroner have said in his judgement?

The coroner’s ruling omitted to reference the established process of science in deciding the balance of probabilities in individual cases. When faced with the outcome of a single individual case, science looks closely at the bigger picture and analyses a large number of statistically representative outcomes among the wider population. This enables a more precise probability of cause to be assessed.

In this case, a comparison of Covid vaccination status among the cases of death and hospitalisation in the whole New Zealand population should be made. The coroner should have noted, as the Hatchard Report has informed the Health Minister, that not only has this not been undertaken in New Zealand but that the process has been blocked by the government working in tandem with the allopathic medical establishment.

The coroner should have ruled that access to public health data relevant to the case before him had been denied for no good reason.

Such cases of wilful blindness are not unknown in science. The theory of general relativity discovered by Albert Einstein was rejected by the Nazi state, despite decisive evidence verifying it, and outlawed from German science since its architect was Jewish. In other words, the power and policy of the state took precedence over the evidence of science.

Are we brushing up against this perilous situation in little New Zealand? If so, how did we get here and what should we do to rectify the situation?

Concerns Over Long-Term Health Risks of mRNA Vaccines: Expert Warnings and the Rising Incidence of Serious Diseases

As we have been reporting repeatedly for three years now, the mRNA Covid vaccine carries risks of a long term increase in the incidence of heart disease and cancer. You can read a summary of the very concerning cancer statistics in the Australian Spectator provocatively entitled “Catherine and Cancer”. The article concludes with the depressing thought that there appears to be no end in sight to the epidemic of cancers which began to rise rapidly starting in 2021 way above and beyond the prior trend.

In fact, a significant number of eminent biochemists, geneticists, and medical experts warned back in 2021 that we would be facing unprecedented rises in heart disease and cancers following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. These included, for example, leading US cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough and Belgian Vaccinologist Geert Vanden Bossche, who, along with many others, published scholarly critiques of mRNA vaccine safety, both of whom and their colleagues were promptly cancelled and wrongly ridiculed as conspiracy theorists by orthodox main stream institutions (see here and here).

As their dire predictions are now showing up in public health data, if science is followed they should be vindicated and publicly lauded.

Personal Tragedies and the Closure of Inquiry: Navigating the Aftermath of COVID Vaccine Policies

Let’s not forget that behind the worrying statistics and suspected future trends are a very large number of personal tragedies that we are glimpsing daily as the tip of this iceberg through newspaper reports of the distressing cases.

Our coroner’s failure to reference the need for close investigation of public health data, underlines the doors that have been firmly closed and shut in the face of the Covid vaccine injured by those responsible for creating and mandating the universal use of mRNA technology. So-called experts who omitted to assess or warn the public about the risks, which were well known pre-pandemic and published in scientific journals.

The Guardian newspaper headlines a report today that the last few years have been amazing for rich people. There have been 141 new billionaires in 2023 alone. It is worth reflecting that a few people have become very rich, influential and powerful during the Covid era, whilst a much greater number, almost everyone in fact, have become poorer as a result of the decisions of those profiting from Covid policies.

Robin Kay, the newly appointed coroner who ruled on the case in hand, is both a legal expert on insurance claims and a registered nurse, so he should have been able to articulate the arguments we have presented above. However, at this point in time, we need to reference the remedies rather than exclusively decry the errors, omissions, and negligence. Without these remedies, our future might be, as Geert Vanden Bossche warned four years ago, very bleak indeed.

The Public Are Labouring Under a Great Many Popular Misconceptions Concerning Health, Genetics and the Causes of Disease

The coroner’s ruling did nothing to clarify or dispel these. The presence of trace viral particles found in the young boy’s heart was not an oddity, such viral particles are in fact the norm, affecting almost everyone. A 2023 article in the BMJ entitled “Where do viruses hide in the human body?” confirms this. The crucial factor in keeping them under control is the capacity and efficiency of our immune system. If immune processes fail, life will be at risk.

Viral particles contain sequences of genetic instructions capable of interfering with the body’s essential processes. Our immune system is constantly involved in clearing these up in order to protect our health and genetic integrity. This is not in any way an occasional activity. It is on a grand scale. In every single cell there may be as many as 70,000 repair jobs undertaken every 24 hours, and we have 37 trillion cells, a total number that is almost beyond comprehension. This all happens more or less automatically, and one wonders how this is managed or controlled on such a vast scale.

Not just heart and organ health are affected by latent viral particles, but also cancers. There is a public misunderstanding that only a few unlucky people have a susceptibility to cancers latent in their physiology and genetics. This prevalent idea enables more obvious causes for the recent rapid increase and speed of cancers, such as the introduction of mRNA vaccines, to be dismissed without scrutiny. The truth is that almost everyone can be susceptible to cancer if the efficiency of immune repair is impaired, as is known to be the case for some individuals following mRNA vaccination.

Balance is at the Basis of Immune Functioning and Automated Efficiency

Does immune repair involve mechanically automatic sequences of events like a thermostat switching a heating system on and off according to the ambient temperature, or are immune processes crucially different in some way? The answer to this is very revealing. In essence, immune processes involve the balance of three elements: elimination of known foreign impurities, maintenance of existing processes, and creative appropriate responses to novel situations. Cancers grow when the balance between these three processes is lost to the extent that novel genetic structures are allowed to develop at least initially unrecognised and unchecked.

Balance is a very abstract notion, therefore its fundamental significance to modern medicine has been largely overlooked. Let us revert to the history of science to understand what is at stake. From the beginning of the twentieth century, a controversy overtook physical science. Einstein’s gravitational science was deterministic—one thing followed another according to a set of strict rules. However with the advent of quantum mechanics, it was found that certain situations resulted in chance outcomes. The great endeavour of physics then became the reconciliation of Einstein’s deterministic laws with the quantum mechanical laws involving chance. The focus of this process has become the understanding of super symmetry or balance.

Balance is a universal abstract characteristic of the universe which has apparently found its expression in living systems. It is at once rigidly lawful and infinitely flexible. It is independent of anything external to itself. Our immune response is deeply connected to this fundamental property of natural law, as is our self-referral consciousness. It is perhaps for this reason that Ayurveda, the ancient health system of India, recognises loss of connection with the universal balance, unity or symmetry of nature as the fundamental cause of disease. The seat of balance in us is both physiological and psychological, involving body and mind. Each relies on the other, but it is our inner consciousness which fully reflects the balance of natural law.

Our immune processes are the result of the abstract coordinated collective intelligence shared by trillions of cells. The physiological unit of consciousness or awareness is the whole cell, therefore anything that interferes with the functioning of the cell puts our connection with innate balanced functioning at risk. If the functions of too many cells are edited, as happens deliberately to billions of cells through mRNA vaccination, then the fundamental collective and specific immune processes are put at risk.

This understanding needs to inform our assessment of the risks of mRNA technology and our medical responses. As we have previously noted, there are herbal technologies and techniques of meditation which research shows sustain balance and immune efficiency. These could play a vital role in alleviating the immune crisis that is engulfing medical practice. To find out more about the role of balance in the physiology, read our article “Action to Face the Medical Crisis Can No Longer Be Postponed.

From a broader perspective, balance is a defining characteristic not just of individual physiology, behaviour and intelligence but also of biological eco systems and collective behaviours. We have discussed this in our article “The Long Read: Could Individual and Collective Intelligence Have Been Negatively Affected by the Covid Pandemic?”. The preservation and maintenance of balance is the cornerstone of our biological and physical world.

The sad case of a 13 year old boy whose life was tragically cut short should not be the subject of mere hand wringing and protestations that we don’t know what happened, but rather a determination to investigate more and understand more. The coronial ruling today was an opportunity thrown away and another example of the medical establishment refusing to face up to the realities of current public health data.

Action to Face the Medical Crisis Can No Longer Be Postponed

Government inquiries seldom change reality. Public submissions to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned are now closed and the Commissioners blandly note on their website:

“The submissions we have received will be considered alongside other interviews conducted and evidence received to form the Inquiry’s final report.”

This article is available as a PDF document to download/print, or share, or you can listen to Guy here.

You can still sign ‘The People’s Terms’ and register your concerns. These will be submitted to the Commission on behalf of the 31,432 people (0.8% of our adult population) who have signed so far. There is very little time left to sign and add your voice. More support and action is still needed that will have to go well beyond any possible outcome of the inquiry. Inquiries in other countries have petered out into irrelevance and controlled double speak.

What Can We Do Now?

During the pandemic, the Hatchard Report and countless others have written of the dangers and referenced the scientific evidence until there seems to be little more that could be said. Much of what was predicted from the early days has come out to be verified by research.

Yes, Covid vaccine components can integrate into our DNA.

Yes, Covid vaccination rates are correlated with excess mortality.

Yes, there is an ‘unexplained’ (???) epidemic of heart disease and cancer.

Yes, record numbers of people are becoming sick and leaving the workforce

Despite this growing evidence of harm; medical, pharmaceutical and biotech policies, procedures, finances and power structures have become entrenched in local, national and global governance. We are in the thick of it.

The Covid vaccines are the latest in a long line of so-called modern pharmaceutical miracles that seem to cause the very things they are designed to prevent. Blood thinners for example that are aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease have shortness of breath, chest pain, heart arrhythmia and bleeding listed among their many side effects. Pain killers, whose long term use increases pain and slows healing. Antidepressants that increase the incidence of suicidal thoughts. And so on. Modern medicine is in crisis, but few are prepared to acknowledge it openly; and it is getting worse.

As we have outlined at GLOBE, Covid vaccines go one step further. A step too far.

A vast army of mRNA and DNA fragments penetrate the protective membranes of billions of cells and take control of our immune system. Which equates to increased vulnerability to a wide range of illnesses and a loss of flexibility in our immune responses referred to as immune imprinting. The failure to acknowledge, discuss or tackle the crisis smacks of extreme cowardice, avarice, and cruelty. The sheer scale of harmful effects and casualties runs against all morality whether contained in the canons of medical ethics, the commandments of religions or the constitutions of nations.

It is four and a half years since the man-made Covid virus first escaped from a lab. There have been very few ‘Lessons Learned’ since then and a cynic might say that the Royal Commission is unlikely to say or do anything new. After years of coming up against an official brick wall is anything likely to change in a hurry? Far more likely, with trillions of biotech investment dollars at stake, we will be pushed and coerced to accept more of the same, almost certainly without being informed of risks.

You must have heard of the expression having a bob (or a dollar) each way, meaning that we should always be prepared, whatever happens. So in addition to lobbying decision-makers, what can or should we do?

Knowledge Has Organising Power

The situation we face requires that we gain a broader understanding of natural laws pertaining to our biology. We need to understand ourselves better, and act accordingly. Ayurveda, the ancient health science of India, traditional Chinese medicine, and indeed modern iterations of integrative medicine understand health in terms of balance.

There is a natural three in one structure to life. Ayurveda expresses this in terms of the balance between the transport (vata), transformation (pitta), and structural systems (kapha) in the body. It uses herbal preparations and other approaches to maintain this balance. In my book Your DNA Diet I explain how a healthy diet must include a variety of natural foods which are based on DNA. Our body uses the genetic intelligence in these foods to maintain balanced health.

Further dramatic evidence of this intimate relationship between food and genetics was published just yesterday in the leading journal Nature entitled “The level of protein in the maternal murine diet modulates the facial appearance of the offspring via mTORC1 signaling”. The study found that the biochemistry of the diet of mice during pregnancy affects the appearance of mice including the size of their cranium and facial features. The study found this effect was also applicable to maternal human diets during pregnancy. In other words, not just the genetics of parents but also the genetic dynamics of our food affects the characteristics of offspring.

Balance, or Homeostasis as It is Known in Medicine, is a Dynamic Process in the Body.

Homeostatic feedback systems manage more or less automatically the balance at the level of our cells, organs, organ systems, and for the body as a whole. This is not a one size fits all system, local and global adjustments to biochemical balance in trillions of cells are distinct and specific to the need to maintain balance in each cell and simultaneously the body as a whole. These varied responses are governed by the abstract organising intelligence in the body which is ultimately connected with our consciousness or awareness and supported by our diet.

Thus Ayurveda describes our homeostatic physiological mechanisms not only in terms of the balance between our transport, transformation, and structural systems, but also in terms of the togetherness of knower, knowing and known. We have written extensively about this before in Your DNA Diet and elsewhere and also referenced the practical health benefits of a lighter purer diet and the daily practice of meditation.

In contrast, modern medicines go deep into the physiology and dictate physiological responses by indiscriminately flooding cells and systems with inflexible biochemical and now genetic instructions, unheeding of local situations and needs. None of this does more universal damage than mRNA vaccines which directly affect the immune functioning of the whole body. This all translates into an upset of balance in both local and global physiological systems. The exact opposite of time-honoured traditional approaches to balancing health.

Education Needs to Encompass Well Being

From this perspective, modern medical interventions are contributing to the growth of hospitalisation, medical misadventure and the record levels of disease, including cancers, heart disease, and infectious diseases. Yet there is a brick wall shutting out questions, criticism and complementary approaches. The crisis has become so intense and intractable that observant independent commentators of the modern world are starting to talk about a looming mega-disaster whether it will be geopolitical, financial, or pharmaceutical, including Senator Ron Paul and many others.

Ron Paul’s solution is the education of people and I agree with him. The content and style of education today is largely regulated by the state with the support of the legacy media. If we are to forge a new and safer direction of civilization we will need to revitalise education and extend its content to include well being in all its facets. Education needs to value life. Efforts to improve education need not be ‘calls in the wilderness’, they can involve collective efforts and individual initiatives. These cannot be postponed.

Medical Practice Needs Meaningful Patient Conversations If It is to Improve Outcomes

Recently, a close friend who was taking statins developed muscle pain, digestive weakness, and peripheral neuropathy (loss of sensation in hands and/or feet). They stopped taking the statins and talked to their doctor, who suggested tests to assess their cardiac health. Most of the symptoms dissipated gradually after stopping the drug, and they got a clean bill of cardiac health. So are statins the most effective therapy to prevent heart disease?

A meta-analysis of 21 randomised clinical trials in primary and secondary prevention published by the JAMA Network entitled Evaluating the Association Between Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Reduction and Relative and Absolute Effects of Statin Treatment A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis concluded that:

“the absolute benefits of statins are modest, may not be strongly mediated through the degree of LDL-C reduction, and should be communicated to patients as part of informed clinical decision-making as well as to inform clinical guidelines and policy”.

Unverified Link Between Cholesterol and Disease Reduction

In layman’s terms, the study found reductions in the absolute risk of just 0.8% for all-cause mortality, 1.3% for myocardial infarction, and 0.4% for stroke in those randomised to treatment with statins compared with controls. More worrying, their meta-regression was inconclusive regarding the association between the magnitude of statin-induced LDL-C reduction and all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, or stroke. In other words, an association between cholesterol reduction and disease reduction could not be verified.

More than 200 million people around the world take statins daily, and their use is climbing rapidly from 31 million in the USA (12% 0f the population) during 2008/9 to 92 million (35% of the population) in 2018/19. Currently, half a million (10% of the population) are taking statins in New Zealand. Studies show the side effects of long term statin use include muscle pain and damage (experienced by 5% of people), liver damage (2% to 6% of people), and peripheral neuropathy (as high as 7% of people). The FDA warns on statin labels that some people have developed memory loss or confusion while taking statins.

Vegetarian and Vegan Diets Linked to Significant Cardiovascular Health Benefits

In contrast, a meta-analysis of nine studies entitled Association of Vegetarian and Vegan Diets with Cardiovascular Health: An Umbrella Review of Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies and Randomized Trials found very large effect sizes including a 29% risk reduction for cardiovascular disease (CVD). It reported a 14% reduction in CVD mortality and a 32% reduction in Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality. One of the studies evaluated showed a significant 39% risk reduction for stroke incidence.

These results imply that following a vegetarian or vegan diet is at least ten times more effective than statins in preventing heart disease or stroke. It is also of note that such diets are free of the negative health side effects of statins. The authors conclude that:

“Policymakers and healthcare professionals should prioritise promoting healthy diets for CVD prevention.”

In addition to the beneficial effects of vegetarian and vegan diets on heart disease, multiple studies show they have a beneficial effect of reduced cancer incidence, the number two cause of death after heart disease. Something that statins do not affect. Thus the reductions in risk factors start to add up, meaning that a vegetarian diet will significantly reduce your all-cause mortality risk. In other words, you live a longer, more healthy life with less chronic illness and pain.

Doctors Rarely Recommend Vegetarian Diets Over Statins Despite Health Benefits

But when was the last time your doctor initiated conversation with you about switching to a vegetarian diet or eating more fruit and vegetables? Probably never, despite the fact that this would be many times more effective at keeping you alive and healthy than their routine statin prescription. Doctors have little training in nutrition and diet. Moreover, current professional ethical (???) standards require that doctors prescribe certain pharmaceutical drugs for certain conditions even if a more healthy, proven, natural approach is available.

Rather than develop the resources and knowledge base in the direction of safe and effective alternatives to drugs, Health New Zealand prioritises and uses its resources to encourage and monitor drug compliance. For example, Health New Zealand tracks whether we renew our prescriptions on time at the chemist. You have probably been on the receiving end of a health professional’s stern lecture on the need to take drugs, sometimes even extending to warnings that your life might end prematurely if you don’t do as you are told. The measured outcomes for statins are too small to justify this approach.

Are There Other Approaches to Preventing Heart Disease That Might Further Improve Outcomes?

A study of 2000 regular participants in Transcendental Meditation enrolled in a health insurance scheme for five years was compared to 600,000 members of the same health insurance carrier. The study found an 87% reduction in inpatient admission for heart disease among the TM group. But that wasn’t all. Hospital admissions per 1000 were lower for the TM group than the norm for all of 17 major medical treatment categories, including 55.4% less for benign and malignant tumours, -30.4% for all infectious diseases, -30.6% for all mental disorders, and -87.3% for diseases of the nervous system. An across the board health outcome improvement.

TM is a simple, easy twice daily practice of twenty minutes that does not require belief, but your doctor has probably not advised you to learn meditation for your health. An article in the journal Hypertension entitled Evidence for Upgrading the Ratings for Transcendental Meditation: Response to AHA Scientific Statement on Alternative Methods and BP encourages doctors to examine the evidence and upgrade their advice to patients with hypertension.

In the 1980s, I had a series of meetings with Dr. Hiddlestone, who was then the Director General of Health and informed him about research on the health benefits of Transcendental Meditation. He was impressed with the published research but met a brick wall when he sought to convince his colleagues. When it comes to health care, the pharmaceutical paradigm dominates against the evidence.

Statins may slightly improve endpoint outcomes for just 1.3% (13 in 1000) suffering from heart disease, a figure that pales in comparison to 14% (140 in 1000) for vegetarian diets and around 87% (870 out of 1000) for meditation. However, these statistics have not penetrated the walls of doctor surgeries. With over half a million Kiwis on statins, the rate of heart disease is rocketing up. Almost doubling over five years. Are statins working? You tell me.

The extreme reliance on pharmaceutical approaches took a giant leap forward (or is it backward) during the pandemic into the intimate world of biotech medicine. A world in which those alert enough to do their own background research into drug safety are reviled and cancelled. Patients are routinely cajoled and harassed for asking questions, let alone non compliance. Adverse medical events are routinely ignored and remain unrecorded. Losing your job and personal freedom at the behest of medical tsars has become the cost of common sense. We have entered an era of medical doublespeak and fanatical faith. God help us.

The World of Drug Regulation Meets the Biotech Wunderkind

A large number of recent articles and studies raise crucial questions about the standards being applied to drug assessment and regulation.

This article is available as a PDF document to download/print or share.

Are the regulators facilitating drug approval by failing to require adequate long term testing and assessment of adverse effects? In other words, are the general public now firmly established as legitimate subjects for experimentation? We look at three examples among the many causing growing public concern:

Weight Loss Drugs

Weight loss is one the highest earning drug sectors. An article in the Daily Mail entitled “How the new weight-loss drugs may work BETTER than Ozempic and other jabs. So will they really be free of the grim side-effects which mean so many give up within a year or two?” illustrates how the merry go round of drug approval works—short term testing, miracle promises, lax drug approval, adoption by the medical profession, widespread use among the public, adverse effects come to light, then new drugs are offered as replacements with promises that this time….

A very profitable business for all concerned except Joe Public who invariably has to bear the burden of pain, disappointment, and disability.

Weight loss drugs Wegovy and Ozempic have been wildly popular market winners with celebrity endorsement and reportedly amazing results, which a few years ago, before their introduction, seemed an impossible dream. All of the weight loss drugs, including a soon-to-be-released new generation of drugs, work by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone made naturally in the body that helps slow the passage of food through the stomach — which makes people feel less hungry and rapidly lose weight.

It’s not difficult to understand why drug companies are pouring into this field. Analysts at Barclays forecast that sales of weight-loss drugs will top £19billion globally this year, with the market growing to £110billion by 2030.

Nor is it difficult to realise why manufacturers are ‘promising’ new versions of the weight loss drugs with ‘fewer side effects’.

The long term side effects of the weekly injections have started to bite. Mounting evidence suggests that in the real world, the drugs’ side-effects such as vomiting, diarrhoea, nausea, constipation and tiredness are proving so common and overwhelming that it makes the current versions impractical for most patients to stay on for very long.

Less common complications of GLP-1 medications are gallstones, increased heart rate, kidney damage, and pancreatitis — a condition where the pancreas rapidly becomes painfully inflamed.

Another serious concern is gastroparesis, a severe disorder where the stomach muscles become effectively paralysed and the stomach does not empty. Sufferers vomit days-old food. For some patients, the only remedy for gastroparesis may be a gastric bypass. Around 10,000 patients in the U.S. are now suing Ozempic’s maker, Novo Nordisk, and Mounjaro’s manufacturer, Eli Lilly, for medical-injury damages.

A study in the journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care in 2022, entitled “Real-world weight change, adherence, and discontinuation among patients with type 2 diabetes initiating glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in the UK” looked at health records of 589 Britons who had been prescribed GLP-1 medications for type 2 diabetes. It reported the patient drop-out rates were a staggering 45 per cent after one year and 65 per cent at two years.

The researchers warned that their study results ‘suggest the real-world benefit of these agents on weight loss may be lower than that observed in clinical trials’.

Prime Therapeutics, in an analysis of data from over 4,000 US patients prescribed GLP-1 drugs, found that more than two-thirds of patients stopped taking them within a year.

Other studies show once a patient drops out of the regimen, most of their weight returns, along with related risks for heart disease and type 2 diabetes, such as obesity, chronic body-wide inflammation and problems with insulin control. Meanwhile, longer-term side-effects are also emerging. One concern is muscle loss: trials of GLP-1 drugs show roughly 40 percent of the weight loss is muscle mass rather than fat.

The Daily Mail article goes on to describe efforts to develop alternative weight loss drugs, all of which appear to already have known side effects as serious as GLP-1 inhibitors. Yet this doesn’t seem to stop drug companies from promising that side effect-free weight loss drugs are just around the corner.

Ahmed Ahmed, a consultant bariatric surgeon at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London, strikes a note of warning:

Unrealistic expectations of a weight-loss cure have been driven by social media, not science or medicine, and by marketing rather than public health….

“These drugs are still quite new and we only have three or four years’ worth of evidence. I worry that after ten years of taking the drugs people may develop very serious physical side-effects. We just don’t know yet. As for other types of new drugs that speed the metabolism, we just don’t know whether they will work and there is certainly a risk of serious side-effects such as heart damage here.’’

If you want to dive deeper into the murky world of weight loss drugs, watch “The effects of Ozempic and other weight loss injections | 60 Minutes Australia“. The video features reports of deaths following Ozempic use. It asks questions of drug regulators, doctors, and researchers which reveal an elaborate system of evasion, passing the buck, blaming others, and dismissing deaths as the price of health.

NSAIDs

You may not be taking weight loss drugs, but most of the public are now fully conditioned by their doctor to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen to relieve acute inflammation. New research suggests this might not be a good idea. An article entitled Anti-Inflammatory Drug Might Lead to Chronic Pain, While Inflammation Could Heal: Experts in Epoch Health explains more. It asks: does short-term relief—and interfering with the body’s natural healing process—come at the cost of chronic pain?

An article in Science Translational Medicine entitled Acute inflammatory response via neutrophil activation protects against the development of chronic pain reported mouse studies where early treatment with a steroid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) also led to prolonged pain despite being analgesic in the short term. Analysis of pain trajectories of human subjects reporting acute back pain in the UK Biobank identified elevated risk of pain persistence for subjects taking NSAIDs.

In other words, the natural inflammatory response of the body to injury is part of the long term healing process. Interrupt that, and the risk of long term chronic pain is elevated. This is in addition to the previously noted risks of NSAIDS which include cardiovascular events and gastrointestinal bleeding.

NSAIDs are one of the most commonly used drug classes in the world. It is estimated that more than 30 million people use them on a daily basis, and they account for 60% of the analgesic market in the United States. The new findings suggest that NSAIDs may actually prolong the painful injuries they are supposed to benefit and turn them into chronic conditions.

Puberty Blockers

On March 12th the NHS banned puberty blocker prescriptions for children under 18 in a ‘landmark decision’. MPs called for the ban to be extended to private medical practice. Dr Hilary Cass, the former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health warned that the drugs may permanently disrupt the brain maturation of adolescents, potentially rewiring neural circuits in a way that cannot be reversed, and said there was a lack of long-term evidence and data collection on their safety and effectiveness. The article said:

“The significance of NHS England’s statement that there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of puberty blockers cannot be overstated.”

The American College of Pediatricians warns that puberty blockers may cause mental illness. They can cause depression and other emotional disturbances related to suicide. In fact, the package insert for Lupron, the number one prescribed puberty blocker in America, lists “emotional instability” as a side effect and warns prescribers to “Monitor for development or worsening of psychiatric symptoms during treatment.”

The list goes on. We recently reported that MHRA, the drug regulator in the UK, is investigating high rates of adverse effects from blood thinners, another class of products among the world’s most heavily prescribed drugs. As powerful new drugs are brought to market via biotech research projects which investigate and manipulate fundamental biomolecular pathways, doctors are grappling with significantly increased rates of serious adverse effects. This has been the background to a gradual distortion of medical ethics which now accepts medical misadventure and even death as the inevitable price of ‘progress’.

mRNA vaccine technology

mRNA vaccines have been associated with the highest rates of adverse effects ever recorded in the history of vaccines. But we don’t see regulators wringing their hands in concern or offering weak apologies as with the above drugs. Instead, there is still a barrage of endorsement and encouragement along with a wall of silence and denial when it comes to adverse effects. Why is that?

The answer lies in the PR dynamics of the pharmaceutical industry and the modern medical profession. mRNA interventions are the poster child of future health. The biotechnology industry is promising nothing less than freedom from disease as more and more products which manipulate the transcriptional interface of DNA with RNA inside the cell are researched and brought to market.

No disease is too insignificant to be missed, they have a long list, but the unprecedented range and rate of mRNA Covid vaccine adverse effects is a fly in the ointment of this biotechnology dream. The insiders’ story is clear: we may have got this wrong but we will eventually get it right. The story for public consumption is a brazen lie: Nothing to see here, it is all wonderful. The insiders’ story ignores the reality of risk: Genetic processes inside the cell control the whole physiology in a complex dance of multitasking—wide ranging mutagenic events from genetic interventions are inevitable. The public story tacitly admits that it’s OK to experiment on Joe Public without letting on what is happening.

At root is a complete misunderstanding of human life, which should be obvious but is carefully hidden by a scientific paradigm that seeks to hide the essence of humanity. The whole physiology works to support our everyday experience, of knower knowing and known. The tripartite 3 in 1 structure of our awareness—the togetherness of observer, process of observation and observed. As biotechnology delves too deep and disrupts fundamental cellular processes, it is putting this structure of human life at risk.

If the risks of biotech medicine were publicly admitted, a trillion dollar industry would come crashing down and the myth of a genetically manipulated perfect future would be dispelled. There is too much money, prestige, power and hope at stake to let that happen. Voices raised with questions are cancelled and denied a platform. The public remains misinformed.

However, the writing is on the wall. The New York Times has just published an article entitled “Four Years On, the Mysteries of Covid Are Unraveling.” There is no mention of the increasing evidence of a lab origin for COVID-19 and, crucially, no mention of COVID-19 vaccines. The NYT was previously leading the charge for Covid vaccines, the silence is now becoming noticeable.

Here in New Zealand concerns are not yet being released to the public or covered in the media. Without full information, the New Zealand public will remain misinformed.
