The NZ Herald has published a potpourri of National campaign promises under the headline “Election 2023: What gets axed under the National-led Government?“. I don’t know about you, but I am underwhelmed. We should be emerging from under the umbrella of the most prescriptive, divisive, and draconian parliament in our history.

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

Instead Auckland fuel tax rates will be adjusted, we will be allowed to drive a little faster, and landlords will be given the whip hand, while gangs, free prescriptions, light rail, public transport, and cheaper cars get the thumbs down. Bearing in mind this is only the Herald’s weird assessment of a ‘bloodbath and a bombshell lurch to the right’, what could and should the government be doing?

When I was writing the title of this release, I hesitated to use the term ‘newly elected’, these are after all the usual suspects from the last parliament who largely supported the most egregious of the outgoing government’s pandemic policies. The policies that left us a divided nation with our health service and economy in tatters. During the pandemic, parliament grew strongly and comfortably into the idea that they were born to rule us without question. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen any indication yet that this is about to change in any way.

Why am I so concerned about this?

A peer reviewed paper published five days ago in the British Journal of Pharmacology entitled “Cardiac side effects of RNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: Hidden cardiotoxic effects of mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 on ventricular myocyte function and structure” might give you a clue. This is a very easy paper to read. Within 48 hours, mRNA vaccines establish themselves in the hearts of experimental rats producing arrhythmia, contractions and significant cardiac dysfunction. The authors conclude “mRNA injections may significantly increase the risk of acute cardiac events”.

Ninety percent of NZers have received mRNA injections and a lot of people are having ‘acute cardiac events’, 83% more than usual according to leaked hospital data, many of them are dying. I don’t suppose that those thousands who are now suffering from cardiomyopathy will be greatly interested to know that prescription costs are going up but will be capped at $100 per year. They might have been expecting something more.

The fact is that you are unlikely to hear or read anything about the above paper, or many other papers reaching similar conclusions, in our mainstream media. Nor is your GP likely to sound any note of caution, they might be struck off. Nor will your MP mention it, they might be drummed out of the brownies in short order. I hardly need to say that this points to a level of moral bankruptcy and an ethical vacuum at the highest level of the nation (or is it the lowest?)

What exactly went wrong at the Beehive?

For a start we only found out about the absolutely massive rise in heart attacks from leaked data. In other words, parliament didn’t want to let us know that anything had gone wrong or needed correcting. They left us in the dark. This ensured that any family affected by cardiac problems (and there were many) during the last three years would go on imagining that they were just unlucky or unhealthy. Incredibly, the government not only hid the tsunami of cardiac episodes, they sailed on spending our taxpayer dollars on advertising to ensure that more of us got more mRNA shots and they are still doing so. When is this deadly advertising bonanza going to stop?

We became the victims of parliamentary leaders who were sure they were right, sure that they could mandate health interventions, and sure they didn’t have to look into the matter as things went wrong. I use the term ‘parliamentary leaders’ with some justification. We now know there were some concerned MPs within each party quietly raising questions who were completely silenced by their leaders and mandated to vaccinate themselves. This alone should lead to a damning verdict on a dictatorial party system which brooks no dissent by individual MPs.

The leaders of all the parties were in fact so sure that they were right that they supported government funding of newspapers, control of social media, and a full blown witch hunt under the title ‘The Disinformation Project’. I haven’t yet heard of any plans to halt these practices which were previously only confined to the sort of repressive regimes that were generally held up as inferior to ours (we have now joined them).

Parliament and the courts also felt confident to override the hard won provisions of the New Zealand Bill of Rights including the right of medical choice—a concept that goes back to the sixteenth century Herbalist’s Charter issued by Henry VIII. Yet it didn’t take a rocket scientist to realise that a vaccine developed and approved in just three months was experimental and had no guarantee of long term safety. The paper we have cited above is precisely the sort of test that was omitted with disastrous consequences.

What should happen now?

There is a family with three adult children. One of the parents decided to remain unvaccinated, and the other driven by fearful predictions vaccinated. One of the children remained unvaccinated and thereby unemployed, another wished to do so but was mandated, a third enthusiastically embraced the vaccine. This divided the family as each sought to impose their views on the other family members driven by feelings of social responsibility and moral superiority curated by the government.

Right now with the wisdom of hindsight reinforced by scientific findings, the family is reconciled. Family members have realised that each is entitled to their own opinions. Unfortunately some members now have some serious health issues to address. No one is planning to get another Covid vaccine.

This situation mirrors what the newly elected government faces. A divided nation that needs reliable knowledge that can inform reconciliation, and a treatment and compensation programme for those affected. Without this, we will not be able to move ahead.

We are a nation with a proud heritage of self-sufficiency and independence. Our parliamentarians need to give up the notion that their role is to dictate to the nation, they have instead a limited mandate to serve the interests of the electorate. This cannot be a ‘business as usual ‘parliament. This is a time for some reflection and humility as we face up to past mistakes, current challenges, and an uncertain future.

• We suggest that the government demonstrate its commitment to our national identity by entrenching the New Zealand Bill of Rights as a constitutional principle.
• We suggest that the new government move swiftly to amend provisions of the Therapeutic Products Bill which are designed to further limit medical choice.
• We suggest that funding and censorship of the media end immediately.
• We suggest that key medical data be made available for public scrutiny and debate.
• We suggest that the programme of mRNA vaccination be suspended and a wide ranging enquiry into pandemic policy and outcomes that should be instituted immediately.

These measures would restore some common sense thinking and a sense of balance that was lost by the last parliament. These would constitute a fitting start on a journey to recovery.

Congratulations to those who succeeded in their election bid. We won’t know the exact composition of parliament until the tally of special votes is announced on 3rd November, but whatever the result, a formidable task without precedent awaits the new parliament:

Our economy is in tatters, the health of the nation is at risk, crime is rampant, and our solidarity as a people has been rent asunder.

This article is also available as a PDF document to print/download and share. You can also listen to an audio version here.

Among the most pressing tasks facing the government is to find out what happened during the last three years. The outgoing parliament has been secretive in the extreme to our detriment. Many of our politicians have been re-elected. We are a trusting nation and this trust has been exploited to our cost. It will not be possible to find a safe way ahead until the extent of dissimulation is fathomed and corrected.

Our health service has fallen into disrepair and disarray as unprecedented ill health has affected the nation. As we have been reporting with official figures, we currently have the third highest excess death rate in the OECD. Rates of hospitalisation for heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, reproductive disease, cancers, and inflammatory illness have soared. The number of people unable to work through disability has similarly ballooned. A mental health crisis is unfolding.

Yet we have been left in the dark about the true extent of these problems and their causes. Throughout the last three years the health landscape has been dominated by the pandemic and the government’s response to it. Pandemic policy has enjoyed cross party support, but a comprehensive assessment of policy outcomes for health is missing.

Universal mRNA Covid vaccination has been and continues to be the mainstay of government pandemic policy. Incredibly, we have been denied access to data which differentiates between the health outcomes of the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.

The government granted generous funding and unfettered access to our NZ health data to the Global Vaccine Data Network headed by Dr. Helen Petousis-Harris, with the promise that they would rapidly complete and release a comprehensive report. They haven’t done so. So far Dr Petousis-Harris has admitted that she personally would not be getting a Covid Booster whilst continuing to advise the public to get theirs. Other commissioned scientific reports about myocarditis for example are similarly missing in action.

Curiously, key data is being withheld from public view and scrutiny. We have been left with leaked hints like the Wellington Region health data which indicates that there was an uptick in health problems after the vaccine rollout began, but before Covid was spreading in the community. An uptick which grew into an 83% rise in heart disease for example.

Crucially, this is not merely a case of organisational chaos, staff shortages, and funding shortfalls. This is a health crisis like none other before. It has affected all age groups. In other words, young and working age people with an expectation of robust health have been prematurely affected.

The most disturbing aspect of the outgoing parliament has been their attempts to exclude and discredit those asking questions such as those mentioned above. This has amounted to nothing less than a rejection of the fundamentals of a democratic open society. It included the manipulation of media content. This needs to be reversed.

The government willingly crossed a threshold into a daunting and risk-filled era of biotechnology experimentation without a reliable road map, yet they cancelled those asking questions including those pointing to established principles of risk well-known to science. They did so through draconian censorship and coercion. This needs to stop.

The government has a responsibility to protect the public from harm

If the incoming government is to have any chance of success it will need to do more than fall back on tired formulas from the past. What has happened is unlike anything from the past. The long term health outcomes and their extent remain unknown. There is enough evidence already to suggest these will be serious and sustained. Their amelioration will require new approaches, open minds, and an examination of deep principles. This cannot involve continued division, obfuscation, and deliberate secrecy.

It will require a cooperative approach to government. The new government received the support of 50% of voters, it faces crises that it helped to create which have affected and are continuing to affect 100% of the population in novel ways. It is also facing a global crisis of security and trust. The advice NZ received from the centres of so-called healthcare innovation over the last three years was flawed, exploitative, and fraught with serious risk. We accepted a false safe and effective narrative. Many suffered adverse health events as a result. Global biotechnology experimentation on the public needs to stop. Now is the opportunity for the new government to reply to unanswered questions and set out a new course of action to protect the public from harm.

We need your support to continue our mission into an uncertain future. We trust you have enjoyed the Hatchard Report through the pandemic years. We work hard to make complex scientific information accessible and trustworthy for the general public. We have broken stories covering data, research, and misinformation such as our recent VACCINEGATE REPORTS which revealed that thousands of NZ healthcare workers were secretly granted vaccine exemptions by the government. We publish accessible summaries of known biotechnology risks at GLOBE from where we inspire a campaign for global legislation outlawing biotechnology experimentation. We publish video and audio reports at Hatchard Report Media. We aim to keep the government honest.

Unlike the government, we consistently reference our information to published scientific papers. Our reports have a wide circulation in New Zealand and around the world. To keep going we need regular support to maintain our websites and newsletters. We need to repair and upgrade our equipment. We are open access.

As our last three releases have discussed, vaccine exemptions were widely granted to health service personnel. Now we will discuss the wider pool of evidence which suggests that the government strenuously sought to hide the extent of serious vaccine injury from the public whilst systematically suppressing the voices of those who had doubts about vaccine safety.

This article is available as a PDF document.

Warning: you may find the information in this release disturbing.

As we have reported, according to an OIA recently released, and one corroborating OIA from a year ago, vaccine exemptions could have affected as many as 11,005 employees and contractors within the health service. A lot of detail is missing, but one thing is absolutely clear: the government sought to hide and obfuscate what was happening.

On 2 March 2022 National MP Chris Bishop submitted a written parliamentary question to Chris Hipkins:

“How many people, if any, who are covered by mandatory vaccination orders have been granted exemptions from mandatory vaccination, broken down by month, and by the type of role the mandatory vaccination covers?”

Chris Hipkins replied with the information that a total of 2,607 temporary exemptions were granted to health and disability workers during November 2021 to February 2022 for a maximum duration of four weeks.

Yet on 11 February 2022 Rachel MacKay, of the Ministry of Health, Group Manager, Operations, National Immunisation Programme submitted an affidavit to the High Court concerning the granting of vaccine exemptions. Inexplicably, MacKay only supplied the court with information stating that by January 2021 450 applications for significant service disruption vaccine exemptions had been submitted of which only 11 had been granted. In effect, she left the court uninformed about a process of granting thousands of health service employee exemptions which was by then in full swing at the Health Service. Information which would have been very relevant to the case in hand.

Both MacKay’s testimony and Hipkins’ written parliamentary reply contrast with information provided in the September 2022 OIA which showed that the number of exemptions granted by then had ballooned to 6,706. By August 2023 an OIA said that 11,005 workers were covered by vaccine exemptions with the proviso that the Ministry of Health was unable to ascertain exactly how many of these actually remained unvaccinated.

Meanwhile McKay’s testimony indicates that by 27th January 2022, the Ministry of Health had received a total of 1,792 applications for temporary medical vaccine exemptions from the general public on the grounds of ill health and/or prior vaccine injury of which 569 or 32% had been granted.

A temporary exemption did not mean that a person necessarily remained unvaccinated, the exemption carried an expectation of vaccination with an alternative type of vaccine such as the AstraZeneca vaccine and/or the administration of a vaccine as soon as possible in a hospital setting with appropriate staff present.

The November 2021 Criteria, Clinical Guidance [for vaccine exemption] stated “There are very few situations where a vaccine is contraindicated and, as such, a medical exemption is expected to be rarely required.”

By January 2022 Medsafe had received 51,710 reports of vaccine injury of which they judged 2,447 were serious. The actual totals were likely far higher than these. As we have reported previously, Medsafe itself had noted that approximately 90% of vaccine injuries remain unreported.

In fact, the process of applying for a vaccine exemption required the support of your doctor and/or a specialist (even if this was acquired, 68% of applications were refused). As a result, a great many people, some of whom were injured by their first shot, were turned down on principle by medical staff who had been schooled by the above directives to believe exemptions would be rare events. Therefore many people at great risk of injury never succeeded in even submitting an application for an exemption.

More than 2,000 reports by people who failed to gain an exemption have been made to various NZ support groups. These make for very depressing and extremely concerning reading. Despite the huge volume of 51,710 Covid vaccine side effects being reported to CARM which was greater in number and far more serious in nature than all other past flu vaccine injuries combined, Medsafe choose to maintain that most injuries were unrelated to vaccination and they have continued to maintained this stance to this day despite the unprecedented rise in excess deaths.

There were however a small number of injury types admitted by Medsafe and widely reported in the scientific literature known to be related to Covid vaccination. These included myopericarditis and anaphylactic shock. Therefore it comes as a considerable surprise to note that a number of people suffering from either one of these conditions after their first Covid jab were refused a vaccine exemption by Dr. Ashley Bloomfield who personally oversaw the exemption process.

Myopericarditis has a well known long term prognosis reported prior to the pandemic, with a 3 to 5 year expectation of serious complications which in a significant proportion of cases can become fatal. From this perspective, refusing a vaccine exemption to a person already suffering myopericarditis likely to have been vaccine-induced, might appear to be an action which risked causing further serious injury or even death.

So did people in fact die as a result of Covid vaccination? The last available Medsafe safety report “Adverse events following immunisation with COVID-19 vaccines: Safety Report #46 – 30 November 2022” lists 64,829 adverse events, including 3,688 serious events and 184 deaths reported proximate to Covid vaccination. As of August 2023, Medsafe only admits that 5 deaths have actually been caused by Covid vaccination. This does not of course include deaths as a result of long term adverse effects of Covid vaccination. There have been more than 10,500 excess deaths in NZ during the course of the pandemic, only 3,200 of which have been associated with Covid infection.

So is Medsafe’s assessment of only five vaccine-related deaths reasonable and do they themselves believe their own estimate or did the government instead engage in a systematic campaign to suppress any possible association between Covid vaccination and mortality?

I have received a number of reports that, in the early months of the vaccine rollout, the government paid substantial sums, of the order $120,000, to families of children who died subsequent to Covid vaccination. Reportedly, payments were dependent on the families in question signing NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) preventing them from discussing the circumstances of these payments or any association with Covid vaccination. These reports are only secondhand and cannot be confirmed firsthand for obvious reasons, but I have received them from people with standing in society who have expressed great concern.

Quite apart from the ethical considerations of contacting a family who has just lost a child (rumoured in some cases to be within hours of the death) and asking them to remain silent, there are serious concerns about the legality of any such NDAs. It is well understood in law that a person who has signed such an NDA, or is contemplating signing such an NDA, is entitled to seek legal advice about its meaning and effect. Even if already signed, there may be grounds to repudiate an NDA yet retain the payment, if any or all of the following applies:

(a) Illegal contract – The government is probably under a legal obligation not to suppress evidence of vaccine harm. If this happened, then the NDA itself might be an illegal contract.

(b) Misrepresentation – A party to a contract may cancel that contract if that party has been induced to enter into it by misrepresentation, whether innocent or fraudulent. Depending on what was said prior to the entry into the NDA, it may be possible to cancel the NDA. Furthermore, the party would not be automatically divested of any monies received under the NDA.

(c) Undue influence or duress – Duress involves illegitimate pressure which coerces a party to enter into a contract. Undue influence is concerned with the unfair exploitation of a relationship. A parent in the days after the sudden and unexpected death of their child is likely not to be in a fit state to enter into a contract concerning that death.

If you feel you may have suffered in any similar way or are directly aware of some who have, we are happy to forward any query in confidence to a qualified party who may be able to assist you or others affected.

Quite clearly, if the reports of payments are true, the government was making very strenuous efforts to suppress discussion of vaccine safety. It did this in a number of other ways:

• By threatening doctors with suspension or disbarment if they publicly raised questions.
• By funding reports from the likes of Te Punaha Matatini falsely asserting that vaccine injury, natural immunity, and the lab origin of Covid were conspiracy theories.
• By refusing to acknowledge, against the evidence, that a novel biotech procedure derived from gene therapy experimentation was in any way more risky than traditional vaccines.
• By hiding the large number of vaccine exemptions granted to medical staff who had doubts about Covid vaccine safety and also requiring them to remain silent.
• By liaising directly with social media sites such as Youtube, Google and Facebook to censor discussion of vaccine safety.
• By repeatedly asserting incorrectly and against the evidence through public pronouncements, advertising, advice, and media payments that the Covid vaccine was proven safe and effective.

How could it be after a three month trial whose results were already equivocal? How could it be given the tsunami of CARM reports?

The hiding of evidence of harm went even further than this. Leaked data from Wellington Hospital Region we have reported lays out an 83% increase in hospitalisation from heart attacks and a forty percent increase in strokes. No one in authority has ever denied these figures. Rather than a revealing public discussion, a fierce hunt was immediately instituted to pinpoint and silence the source of these leaks.

Clearly any public knowledge of the dramatic and unprecedented rise in hospitalisation for a wide range of disease types which began before Covid infection took hold in NZ but after Covid vaccination began in February 2021 would have posed a grave threat to the government’s safe and effective narrative.

In fact, the progressive collapse of the NZ health service due to the increasing incidence of disease posed a similar threat to the so-called government podium of truth. An article published by Newsroom dated 9th October 2023 based on extensive Ministry of Health documents sourced through an OIA paints a disturbing picture of occupancy rates over 100% and long waits at EDs and at hospital ramps for ambulances before urgent patients could be seen.

Health Minister Verrall disputed the reliability of some of the figures provided to her by Te Whatu Ora, but frontline doctors and nurses, however, told Newsroom the data confirmed what they were seeing with their own eyes. The figures reported by Newsroom were only released in August after the involvement of the Ombudsman two months after Verrall’s June refusal to release the figures. The data is damning and the government’s efforts to hide the evidence is doubly so.

On reflection, it becomes clear that, from early on in the pandemic, proponents of radical biotechnology innovation had hijacked the processes associated with the government’s pandemic policy. These advocates and so-called experts had, for whatever reason, decided that it should be allowable for medical authorities to mandate vaccines that had not passed normal long term safety and effectiveness testing, yet pass them off as safe and effective. In other words, they were using their influence to encourage and even coerce risky biotech experimentation on the public. Apparently the government agreed with them so fully that they have done and continue to do everything in their power to hide what is going on.

We may have a chance to influence the make up of Parliament over the course of the next few days. It is worth reflecting that MPs are our representatives. The idea that information can or should be systematically hidden from the public is the opposite of democracy. There is a powerful argument here. If we return our current political parties to parliament they may think they can continue to hide hard facts from us and mandate medical risk. NZ First is calling for a wide ranging enquiry into the Covid pandemic response. This is not only long overdue, but it seems to us to be essential if we are to find a safe way ahead.

The government granted 11,000 vaccine exemptions to Ministry of Health employees whilst refusing exemptions to the public, the private sector and other ministries.

This article is also available as a PDF document to print/download and share. You can also listen to an audio version here.

What does this mean? The implications are finely drawn by a comment in the Daily Telegraph yesterday:

“My GP requested an exemption for me based on prior very severe hypersensitivity reactions to a different vaccine within the NZ schedule. Based on the family history, we all had suffered similar impacts to varying degrees from the same vaccine. The request made by the GP for exemption from the Covid vaccine was declined.

“Relative 1 took the Covid vaccine only to be diagnosed with Thrombocytopenia (a well known side effect). Relative 2 received the vaccine only to be admitted to hospital with psychosis and acute kidney failure. Relative 3 is now under cardiology specialist care along with a friend diagnosed with Bells Palsy post vaccine receipt.

“Maybe the (now surplus to requirements) Covid Exemption Team can sift through all of the medical classifications relating to ALL known adverse vaccine responses that have been added to the patient records post receipt of Covid vaccine, identify and contact the patients and determine their individual status of health since their vaccine adverse reaction/s. Never has there been a single mention in the media of the 64,000 plus patients for whom reports were lodged via CARM for adverse reactions. This should be addressed with urgency!”

This is a personal testimony. Contrary to the reports appearing in the papers that Covid vaccines saved lives, they took lives.

Refer to our article “The New Zealand Health Debate – Fact Checking Ayesha Verrall vs Shane Reti“. According to the OECD there were 10,672 excess deaths in New Zealand between 2020 and 2023, only 3,200 of these were deaths with Covid.

Refer to our article “The Ministry of Health Granted Vaccine Exemptions to Hundreds Among Its Key Staff” which reports that highly vaccinated countries like New Zealand had high rates of excess deaths, while nations with low rates of Covid vaccination had very low rates of excess deaths, almost zero.

The dead have no voice but their families have a right to justice.

How did it come about that the lives of the public were recklessly put at risk? An extraordinary doctrine of our sitting parliament took precedence over learning, knowledge, and common sense. We were told that it was dangerous to do your own research. Incredibly, the nation swallowed this canard because of misplaced trust in our elected representatives.

It was and is a very quick and easy matter to look up official statistics, add up a few columns of figures, and find out, contrary to the repeated claims of so called government experts, that New Zealand is not leading the world in Covid outcomes. We are comfortably mid table in excess deaths for the pandemic as a whole, but right now in 2023 third highest in the OECD.

Everyone knew that Covid vaccines were developed over three months when vaccines were normally tested for ten years. This meant there was no testing of long term safety. We now know from our own New Zealand excess death figures and those of other highly vaccinated nations that there are many long term adverse effects which are serious and sometimes fatal. We have covered research into these in the pages of our reports and unlike our government routinely cited scientific references.

If we had been encouraged to do our own research in learned journals of science, instead of accepting that adverse effects of Covid vaccines were wicked conspiracy theories, we would have quickly found out that there was already by 2018 a long list of known adverse effects of mRNA vaccines very similar to those that tens of thousands of New Zealanders reported suffering.

Instead of laughing, accusing and gaslighting the victims of vaccine injury, there would have been widespread alarm, soul searching, and probing questions.

New Zealand became a victim of a new form of colonial oppression.

Pharmaceutical elites in America and Europe were dictating our health policy. Our government signed agreements that not only gave them immunity from prosecution, but gagged us from asking questions or doing our own investigations.

New Zealand has a long history of independence, but that chapter was closed in 2021. We came under foreign domination. Perhaps it was that generations grown up on video games had become inured to killing and death, accepting it as normal. Perhaps it was that we only had time for headlines, slogans and tweets, and no longer read long format information. Perhaps it was that we had become distracted by the pace of life and its seductive images of enjoyment to the extent that we were content to leave the hard decisions to others.

Whatever the cause, we have allowed ourselves to be hog-tied and left blind to oppression.

Our political process has become so superficial that all the elected parties blindly follow the leader. Ardern we know about. Chris Luxon mandated his party for the jab and brooked no public dissent. David Seymour likewise insisted that all his ACT MPs were fully jabbed and kept mum. For mystifying reasons, the Green Party believes that young people under 30, the group which research shows are particularly vulnerable to vaccine-induced cardiac injury, should be re-vaccinated as a priority.

Do none of our 120 MPs read? Do they get their opinions from newspaper headlines, who governments and commercial pharmaceutical interests pay to only carry one story? Are we that dim?

Crucial to this tale of woe, is our own failure to speak up.

11,000 Ministry of Health employees granted vaccine exemptions means that 11,000 kept silent. I don’t begrudge them their vaccine exemption, but I weep at their silence. Silence is the common coin of dictators, previously bought with oppression. Today silence is bought at the flick of a switch, turning off the right to publish on social media. Silence is bought by the stroke of a pen on a gagging order or the threat of professional expulsion, cancellation, or loss of employment. Silence is bought by the transfer of money from government coffers to media moguls.

In 2022 109 extra people died every week in New Zealand, not because of Covid, but because of Covid policy which was protected from scrutiny when our Prime Minister traded her reputation of empathy and kindness for a lie at the so-called podium of truth. She asked us to keep silent, and told us that it was a sin to ask questions.11,000 kept their silence.

Whatever party is elected over the next week, they are inheriting a poisoned chalice. The health problems they will be inheriting are likely to be ones that they themselves helped to create. Problems that run as deep as our genetic makeup, whose remedies are not yet understood.

The first tasks of government need to be a halt to vaccine fanaticism and coercion, a mea culpa, an inquiry, repudiation of the WHO international pandemic agreement which will further cede our sovereignty, repeal of the Therapeutic Products Bill and the constitutional entrenchment of the New Zealand Bill of Rights to protect us from future government overreach. We will only get these if we free ourselves from the shackles of silence and speak up loudly and clearly.

Whilst the Government Threatened the Public With Police Action if They Asked for Exemptions

Ursula Edgington PhD, who writes under the title Informed Heart on Substack has sent me a partial breakdown of 6,700 medical staff granted vaccine exemptions provided through a 29th September 2022 OIA H2022009529. It appears from the OIA HNZ00023978 dated 2 August 2023 that we reported yesterday that the actual total may be as high as 11,005. This figure includes over 1,500 administrative managers.

This article is also available as a PDF document to print/download and share. You can also listen to an audio version here.

The health service employs around 80,500 staff. This means that as many as 14% of MoH staff were granted exemptions. Previous mainstream media coverage accessible to the public has only reported that a total of 81 vaccine exemptions (not the actual 11,005) were granted to Ministry of Health staff.

This completely misleading media coverage gave the impression that Ministry of Health staff had almost to a person willingly taken the mRNA vaccine with the exception of 2,400 workers who euphemistically ‘left their jobs’ as a result of mandates.A far smaller number than the 11,005 medical personnel and administrators who secretly received vaccine exemptions and retained their jobs in the health service despite being unvaccinated.

Many dutifully vaccinated members of the public were left with the false belief that they were joining shoulder to shoulder with a health service totally united behind Covid mRNA vaccines. This erroneously strengthened a belief in the false ‘safe and effective’ government narrative. Many who failed to meet vaccination requirements may recall being refused permission to visit loved ones in hospital or care facilities, whilst we now know unvaccinated staff and doctors might have been treating them.

So why did so many MoH staff apply for vaccine exemptions?

They might have read a 2018 paper authored by Drew Weissman and published in Nature entitled “mRNA vaccines — a new era in vaccinology”. Yesterday, Weissman shared the NZ$1.7 million Nobel Prize for medicine with Katalin Karikó for contributing “to the unprecedented rate of vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health.”

In this paper, Weissman listed a number of very serious adverse effects that had resulted from prior mRNA vaccine trials. These included:

• Local and systemic inflammation (including the lymph nodes)
• Widespread biodistribution throughout the body and persistence of expressed immunogens (similar to what happens with vaccine-induced Covid spike protein).
• Stimulation of auto-reactive antibodies (associated with thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes and liver disease)
• Toxic effects of novel nucleotides and vaccine adjuvants (similar to that causing vaccine-induced myopericarditis)
• Development of autoimmune disease (including skin inflammation, joint pain, digestive disruption and swollen glands)
• Development of oedema (build up of swollen tissue in legs etc.)
• Blood coagulation (clotting) and pathological thrombus formation (known to be associated with strokes and heart attacks)

Weissman suggested that his research had found ways around these problems. We now know he hadn’t. All of the above are common adverse effects resulting from Covid mRNA vaccination now widely recognised in the scientific literature that we have been citing in our regular reports. He was promising the cure of multiple diseases, but this has turned out to be only hope and hype.

A close reading of Weissman’s 2018 paper reveals that he was subtly stating the case for widespread experimentation on human populations. He wasn’t to be disappointed. Two years later mRNA Covid vaccines were approved for general use in the whole world’s population, based not on sound trial results, but mostly on assurances from authority figures like Weissman.

The motivations are unclear. It is certain that thousands of medical personnel, researchers, and regulators including executives in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields knew of the researched risks. Many also rapidly and correctly concluded that the Covid virus came from a laboratory. However there were trillions of dollars of profits at stake stretching into an imagined biotech future.

Rapidly a well established pharmaceutical public relations and lobbying machine with a global reach sprang into action. Its aim was to suppress any discussion of known risks. It succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of those aiming to profit from the pandemic. Many corporations and individuals have become fabulously rich and/or renowned as a result.

We can now conclude that instead of wealth and fame some are deserving of notoriety.

Exactly who knew what and to what extent some pushed a vaccine they knew to be very harmful and sometimes fatal is to a large extent unknown. Whatever may be judged by way of culpability in the future, it is imperative that those who realise the extent of the problem speak up publicly now.

The secret programme the government initiated to grant vaccine exemptions to thousands of Ministry of Health employees contrasts with the public stance of Chris Hipkins who was the Minister of Health and for the Covid-19 Response from 2020 to 2022. In November 2021 Hipkins complained to RNZ there were people who were aggressively demanding vaccine exemptions. He said:

“Anybody seeking to exert pressure [to gain a vaccine exemption] in the way that we have seen is a matter that the police will be involved with if necessary,”

Hipkins said he was going to establish a central process for approving medical vaccine exemptions. We now know that 11,000 exemptions were granted to people working for the Ministry of Health (headed by Hipkins), whilst almost no exemptions were granted to members of the public and those working in other professions. Even people severely injured by their first Covid vaccine were routinely denied an exemption by the then Director General of Health Dr. Ashley Bloomfield.

Hipkins’ centralised process appeared to be a system designed to deny vaccine exemptions to almost everyone applying other than 11,000 privileged Ministry of Health employees. Simultaneously the General Medical Council was cracking down on any doctors informing the public of vaccine risks and threatening them with suspension and disbarment. The media were repeatedly reprinting the false safe and effective narrative derived not from research but from PR hype. Jacinda Ardern was firming up her policy aim to create a two tier society—vaccinated and unvaccinated. Under this kind of pressure, families were being torn apart by what is now known to be calculated disinformation.

The wheels of this unprecedented level of social control and disinformation were being greased by billions of dollars of government funding sourced through additional borrowing which will have to be repaid by future generations.

This should be an election issue, but you can measure the integrity of our current crop of wannabe political leaders by the refusal of almost all to discuss these issues. In case we think that the enthusiasm for Covid vaccination was limited to the Labour Party, it wasn’t. A source I believe to be reliable inside the National Party has leaked the information that leader Chris Luxon mandated all National MPs to get vaccinated. I wonder what they think about that now? Luxon has told members of the public that he doesn’t want any unvaccinated voting for him.

It seems that the control of personal health choices was a policy endorsed by all parties. There would not have been any different outcome under any of the currently elected parties. Under a different government the situation might have been even more restrictive. It is time for change. The NZ Bill of Rights needs to be entrenched as a constitutional principle in order to provide some protection from government overreach in future.

Whilst Hypocritically Insisting That the Public Be Vaccinated

An OIA HNZ00023978 dated 2 August 2023 asked the following question:

“According to the legislation at the time in 2021, there were operational exemptions available for those who were not getting vaccinated against Covid 19. Your website outlines the process of applying for an operating exemption under clause 12a. How many requests were received? How many were approved by the ministry?”

This article is available as a PDF document.

Matt Hannant, Interim Director, Prevention, National Public Health Service, Te Whatu Ora replied:

“From 13 November 2021 to 26 September 2022, a total of 478 applications for Significant Service Disruption exemption (SSD) were received. 103 applications were granted, covering approximately 11,005 workers. Please note that it is not possible to provide the exact number of workers that were covered by SSDs. This is because it was possible for an organisation to submit an application to cover more than one worker.”

So exactly how many Ministry of Health staff and associated contractors benefitted from the vaccine exemptions?

I have made enquiries and found some staff prepared to leak information. One source has told me that 95 consultants in the Dunedin region alone benefitted from vaccine exemptions. Another source has pointed to a group of doctors working in Northland who arranged among themselves to remain unvaccinated. The total appears to run to hundreds and possibly more.

It seems that those granted exemptions were restrained by gag orders. In other words, they could not tell anyone that they had been granted exemptions—it was a secretive process that the Ministry of Health was anxious to hide from the public.

In any case, any doctor advising a patient that mRNA Covid vaccination might be risky faced disciplinary action and many were actually suspended.

So medical staff allowed themselves to be manipulated into a position whereby, if they were unvaccinated themselves, they were still required to advise their patients to vaccinate—a recipe for widespread hypocrisy in the health service.

This process was certainly approved by Dr. Ashley Bloomfield who himself gained considerable notoriety by refusing vaccine exemptions to those among the public severely injured by their first jab, insisting that they continue with a vaccination schedule. Given Dr. Bloomfield’s close working relationship with Jacinda Ardern and Chris Hipkins it is quite likely they were both aware of the process and approved it. The opposition leaders were also likely kept in the loop.

The criteria for granting exemptions apparently entailed an assessment concerning how vital staff were to the working of the health service. In other words, senior figures and those holding key surgical positions could actually insist they remain unvaccinated and continue to be allowed to work. Whilst unvaccinated nurses for example could not gain exemptions and lost their positions.

If senior staff who wished to remain unvaccinated had spoken out publicly, the issue of Covid vaccine safety might have been given a public airing. Instead the Ministry of Health and the government kept a lid on all and any discussion. It did so through liaison with mainstream and social media outlets to censor content and through tight control of staff.

So why did senior medical staff choose to remain unvaccinated?

They may have been aware of a 2019 paper in Frontiers in Oncology Journal entitled Gene Therapy Leaves a Vicious Cycle which reported:

“…gene therapy has been caught in a vicious cycle for nearly two decades owing to immune response, insertional mutagenesis, viral tropism, off-target activity, unwanted clinical outcomes (ranging from illness to death of participants in clinical trials), and patchy regulations.”

Despite this evidence of prior harm and the misgivings of senior medical consultants who were in a position to make a reasoned and evidence-based assessment of risk, you may think that the vaccine was in fact safe and effective. It wasn’t, as subsequent research has demonstrated. Incredibly, against the evidence, the government is still encouraging the public to get vaccinated.

As someone who has analysed social data over the last fifty years, I do sympathise with the doctors who opted for caution. That would be a normal reaction to new medications. It takes years to assess safety. So how unsafe is the mRNA Covid vaccine? Extremely unsafe.

The 2023 excess death data across OECD nations.

The top most highly Covid vaccinated nations in the OECD are in order Portugal, Chile, Canada, Iceland, New Zealand, Spain and Australia. Their average percentage of the population vaccinated is 91%. Their average rate of excess deaths so far in 2023 is 12% above the five year historical average.

The least Covid vaccinated nations in the OECD are Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Poland, Estonia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Switzerland. Their average percentage of the population vaccinated is just 63%. Their average rate of excess deaths so far in 2023 is 0% compared to the five year historical average. In other words, they have averaged a normal death rate.

Anyone who suggests that the death rate among the unvaccinated is higher than the vaccinated is running against the tide of evidence. This view doesn’t fit with the international data.

The standard way to resolve this inconsistency would be to refer to prospective studies which assemble two groups, vaccinate one group and leave the other matched group unvaccinated and measure what happens over a significantly long period. In the normal course of vaccine approval this would have been done for around ten years prior to approval. No one has done this.

In the Pfizer trial the unvaccinated control group were all vaccinated after a few months ensuring that long term comparative outcomes are unavailable. In any case, during those few months more people died in the vaccine group than the unvaccinated control group. There are also many studies now published differentiating the outcomes of the vaccinated and unvaccinated that we have reported including journal citations.

So just how concerning is the excess death problem?

According to the OECD there were 1.2 million excess deaths in 2022 among their member countries which had a combined population of 1.2 billion. A rate of one excess death in every 1,000.

Now it is becoming accepted that both Covid and Covid vaccination began their lives in a biotech lab, it doesn’t seem to much matter what proportion of excess deaths are due to Covid and what to Covid vaccination, but for the record in 2022 there were approximately 200,000 deaths with Covid in the OECD. In summary, OECD excess deaths not attributable to Covid were one million in 2022 alone. This probably extends to a few millions worldwide, about the same as the annual deaths during World War one.

You can see why it is so important for those involved in creating Covid policy and enforcing mandates (which includes all of the currently elected 120 politicians) to make sure that everyone continues to believe that more unvaccinated die than vaccinated because otherwise their narrative that Covid policy is saving millions of lives falls completely apart.

In this light we can now assess the motivations of those still poking fun at the vaccine injured or accusing the vaccine hesitant of seeking to undermine the government. The Disinformation Project for example, funded by the Prime Minister’s Office, who, in common with many politicians, have described vaccine injury as a conspiracy theory. They are trying to hide their own mistakes which have undermined the health of the nation.

For the last couple of years the Hatchard Report has had a simple lament “no one in authority seems prepared to ask why excess deaths are occurring at an unprecedented rate”. Deaths are in fact a very stable staple of life. In a normal year there are no excess deaths. Insurance actuaries spend their lives calculating how many of us will die and when with great accuracy. They set life insurance premiums accordingly. Right now, actuaries must be having some sleepless nights because something has gone terribly wrong that has not happened at any other time during the last 100 years outside of war and conflict zones.

A great many people are falling sick and dying, when they should be alive and well.

The Ministry of Health has been hiding these disturbing facts while quietly and hypocritically acknowledging their staff have a right to avoid these risks. They have not just gaslighted the public, they have recklessly put their lives at great risk. This has broken families and communities, pitting one against another. It has caused tragedies affecting families across the nation, while the Ministry of Health and the government are going through tortuous and secret processes in order to conceal what is happening. Moreover they have plans to continue to roll out more experimental vaccines.
