An article buried in the rush of Covid science publishing we have been experiencing this year recounts a finding that should have featured in the debate between our wannabe political leaders last night.

The prestigious journal Nature—Scientific Reports published a study on 23 April 2023 entitled “High spontaneous integration rates of end-modified linear DNAs upon mammalian cell transfection” that doesn’t sound like it should be front page news, but the implications for the future of the human race are truly frightening.

The report examined the capacity of various forms of DNA used as gene delivery vehicles to integrate into the DNA of the target organism. It concluded:

“All of the forms of linear DNA resulted in a high fraction of the cells being stably transfected—between 10 and 20% of the initially transfected cells.”

Transfection involves the insertion of foreign nucleic acids into a cell. What does the stabilisation of this process mean for us? The stable (permanent) integration of genetic material into a host cell chromosome may result in activation of oncogenes (cancer genes) or knockout of tumour suppressor genes. In other words, it can cause cancers.

In an attempt to avoid this happening, genetic material, including that used in mRNA vaccines, has been ‘end-capped’ (see details here, Figure 4). However, unexpectedly, the study found that “the end modification of linear DNA did not significantly decrease the rate of integration [into human cell lines].”

We have been repeatedly assured that mRNA vaccines could not integrate into the human genome. Our concerns were often described by so-called fact checkers (aka media hacks and disinformation project scaremongers) as conspiracy theories. The study found that not only can this happen, but that it could happen with a frequency of up to 20%, one case in every five.

The outcome of these DNA integration events can only be described as a slowly unfolding train wreck of global proportions. The integration of DNA in this way is heritable—it can be passed to future generations, placing billions of our children’s children and so on in the shadow of genetic illness created by scientists who ignored evidence of harm and pressed ahead to subject the whole world’s population to novel biotech experimentation.

mRNA Covid vaccines are programmed to produce a spike protein which is now known to be toxic for the functioning of the heart. As we recently reported, myocardial heart damage has been found to be 1,000 times more common than currently admitted by our government, affecting 1 in 35 vaccine recipients. The above study in Nature gives reasonable grounds to suppose that even this very high risk may be higher, more long lasting, and affect subsequent generations.

The cancer risk is largely unquantified, but as we also recently reported, there is data indicating increased rates of cancer related to vaccination schedules. The gestation periods associated with vaccine-induced cancer formation appear to be shorter than those traditionally ascribed to cancers. They are often being described now as turbo cancers. The Nature study also gives grounds to suppose that the widespread administration of mRNA vaccines might have greatly elevated lifetime risks of developing cancer.

The integration of mRNA sequences is not the only potential cancer-causing mechanism. mRNA vaccines are now known to be contaminated with plasmid DNA vectors as a result of Pfizer’s commercial bio-manufacturing process. The Nature article demonstrates that these plasmid fragments, of which there are billions in a vaccine dose, can integrate into our DNA.

You can watch a report on this contamination by a highly qualified microbiologist Dr. Phillip Buckhaults (@P_J_Buckhaults), given to a South Carolina Senate Hearing. Buckhaults renders this into language accessible to the layman. This is a very interesting discussion because Dr. Buckhaults is an enthusiastic biotech vaccine advocate. He attempts a delicate balancing act, explaining that something seems to have gone terribly wrong with the regulatory process, but at the same time, he expects or rather hopes that future vaccines will be safe.

If you put the Nature article together with the Senate hearing video, it shows that DNA integration may be common rather than rare, as Dr. Buckhaults hopes.

Dr Buckhaults describes the routine plasmid contamination of mRNA vaccines being given to the public as a trojan horse which poses a previously unexpected danger to public health. One that is, like the trojan horse, a deadly foe actually being welcomed into the bosom of our health service.

The Senators at the hearing profess their limited understanding of the science and their inability to take action to protect the public. They want to know who is at fault, to which Buckhaults responds in essence that Pfizer must have known of the risk of genome integration but failed to address it or test for it. Dr Janci Lindsay at the same hearing goes further and suggests the contamination was not accidental but intentional.

A fascinating exchange follows between the obviously horrified Senators and Dr. Buckhaults. Dr. Buckhaults ends by saying that from what he knows now, there is no way he would take a mRNA vaccine without first testing it for DNA contamination, nor, if he had known earlier, would he have ever given it to his daughters. The testimony has raised a flurry of informed scientific comment and concern see here for example.

The exchange is sobering when you consider the danger to the public and the excess mortality in New Zealand and other highly vaccinated nations, which is continuing at unprecedented high levels. Unlike doctors in South Carolina, our New Zealand scientific professionals haven’t even warned our politicians of any danger. Instead, sticking with an obviously false and deliberately misleading safe and effective narrative, which left Chris Hipkins and Chris Luxon woefully misinformed in their discussion of public health last night.

We appear to be in free fall after launching off the edge of a precipice. Our health service is collapsing in disarray but no one wants to be the one dialling 111.

Dr. Buckhaults suggested that, as a minimum, vaccine recipients now need to be informed of the newly verified serious long term risks of heart disease and cancer formation. So, what form might this take? Incredibly, a letter sent to German doctors last week instructs them that future Covid booster vaccine recipients should now sign a form acknowledging that there will be no compensation in the event of a vaccine injury!!!!

This only appears to formalise the de facto policies that seem to have been adopted in most countries as the default position. New Zealand medical authorities did not plan ahead to deal with adverse effects. Watch here at four minutes into a New Zealand Primary and Community Care Webinar held on 19/05/2021 where the lead host explains:

“There is no specific funding to cover primary care for people presenting with side effects following their Covid vaccination nor any funding to cover the submission of an adverse event report to CARM.”

At this stage, Primary Care had also not been given any indication about the availability of ACC cover for vaccine injuries. You can see just how much the false safe and effective narrative was steering frontline medical staff away from accepting vaccine injury.

You can also understand why, to this day, many politicians still appear to believe there is no such thing as a Covid vaccine injury. One party leader responded last week to a question about vaccine injury from a constituent saying: “No one cares about this”. I leave you to guess who. I imagine you will conclude that most party leaders are quite capable of making similar statements. You might be right there. I wonder how high the incidence of serious illness will have to go before they wake up?

In the meantime, the torrid gaslighting of the victims of vaccine injury continues. Most victims of the rising incidence of cancer, stroke, or heart disease are not even told it might be due to vaccine injury. Our politicians are glad to leave us in the dark, otherwise, we might reconsider our voting preferences and even ask for compensation and, heaven forbid, accountability.

In the short space of three years, New Zealand society has been transformed. Our economic circumstances, our health landscape, our political ideas, our attitude to the rest of the world, and crucially, our social cohesion have undergone a sea change. This change has not been a positive step of progress. How was this allowed to happen? Was this imposed on us, or did we do it to ourselves?

Well, you will no doubt give me a one word answer—Covid. But what does that mean? You have to go back at least to 2017 to begin to understand what happened. At that point in time, medical authorities and the general public began to be subject to carefully placed publicity announcing that novel mRNA technology was on the verge of curing all disease.

Biotechnology was compared to the operation of one of the most common and useful modern tools of our everyday lives—computers. Tal Zak, CEO of Moderna explained in a TED Talk:

“We think of DNA like an operating system….we are hacking the software of life, the genetic code, and that has profound implications for the cure of everything from flu to cancer….We think of biotechnology as information therapy.”

Heady stuff, but this was in fact an attempt by biotechnologists to shake off some very dark truths. An article in Gene Therapy in January 2003 entitled “Adverse effects of gene therapy: Gene therapy can cause leukaemia: no shock, mild horror but a probe” reported:

“There is a risk of treatment-induced malignancy from retrovirally based gene therapies.…its spectre has always loomed over the field.”

An article in Frontiers in Oncology in April 2019, just before the pandemic, entitled “Gene Therapy Leaves a Vicious Cycle” summarised a history of catastrophes:

“…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.”

The authors of this study wanted to encourage us all to think that these problems had almost been solved. There was one small fly in the ointment—they hadn’t yet, nor were they likely to be in the future. Such statements were designed to keep investments and grant money flowing. They were based on vain hopes not facts (to find out more about inherent problems with biotechnology read “Twenty Reasons Biotechnology Experimentation Should Be Outlawed”).

Trouble was brewing as governments rushed to introduce mRNA vaccines after ridiculously short trials whose concerning initial outcomes were being kept well hidden, including a wide range of adverse effects and some unexplained deaths. An article in Nature Medicine entitled “Gene Therapy Needs a Long-Term Approach” published on April 15 2021, as the vaccine roll out began around the world, summed up serious warnings being voiced behind the scenes:

“Gene-therapy trials are on the rise, but more needs to be done to understand the long-term risks associated with this type of treatment…..[there are] growing concerns about the late adverse effects.”

As we have repeatedly covered in our reports, published scientific research has picked apart the mRNA safe and effective narrative. We now know from official government data, carefully designed research protocols and in many cases personal experience that these adverse effects include the disruption of most of our major physiological systems: cardiovascular, immunologic, neurological, pulmonary, gastrointestinal-excretory, dermatologic, haematologic and reproductive.

Each of these systems relies on the genetic structures contained in our cells, the very same cells that were being repurposed by mRNA injections to perform jobs distinctly different from the trillions of tasks that they normally undertook. The tasks that keep us alive and well. We were being hacked, as Tal Zak suggested, but not by information therapy, rather by disinformation therapy. Studies show our cells were being reprogrammed to produce toxic spike proteins in quantity over a long period of time, whilst their usual immune functions were suppressed. The stage was set for a catastrophe.

If you want a graphic illustration of what the breakdown of even one of these physiological systems looks like, review this scientific paper entitled “Autoimmune skin disorders and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination – a meta-analysis” published in the Journal of the German Society of Dermatologists. The pictures it contains are not for the squeamish. The paper examines the results of 187 publications recording cases of skin conditions which developed subsequent to Covid vaccination. These are cases of the body attacking itself and fall into just one category of adverse effects among many.

Why didn’t we know this could happen? Why didn’t anyone in authority warn us.?

It is a common refrain among uninformed observers that the government, the medical establishment and the media would never get safety so wrong, but they did and the reasons are not so very far from something spelt M O N E Y. Having decided to close our borders and only open them when the whole population had been vaccinated, the government began paying key players to get on board and ostracising those you didn’t.

This carrot and stick approach worked very well. Reportedly doctors were paid $75 each vaccine dose administered, but could lose their practising certificate if they publicly asked questions. A similar coercive approach was floated among a range of professions. Other organisations received even larger per head payments to ferry people into vaccination centres. Schools were given a free hand to ‘encourage’ participation of pupils irrespective of the wishes of parents. This included exclusion from normal activities. The media received cash grants and direct payments to air specific content. Businesses were recompensed for lost income. Fear was also a great motivator. It became very easy to accept the cash and keep quiet.

Just how much money was involved?

It wasn’t small. Reportedly, medical practices were paid $135 for each nasal swab they performed. Naturally the focus of some doctors stepped up a gear. A well organised effort to contact patients enabled some practices to swab 200 patients a day bringing in $27,000 for a day’s work, more than the yearly pension of a retired couple. It is very hard to turn this kind of money down and honestly admit that the vaccines were not only not working, but patient health was suffering. In all, we estimate that the government paid a total of more than $2 billion for administering these pandemic medical services in the community (excluding those provided by hospitals).

By mid 2022 the government had also paid over $19 billion in wage subsidies, much of it to companies who continued to turn in healthy profits for the period. There was little sympathy for employees sacked for remaining unvaccinated, who stood to lose their profession and in many cases the roof over their heads—the family home.

These figures dwarf the $1 billion used to purchase vaccines. Therefore the vast majority of money spent by the government during the pandemic did not go overseas, it was used to pay people to support government policies without thinking about the consequences.

Now we know beyond any reasonable doubt that mRNA vaccines come with high levels of adverse effects and long term health issues, what is the government doing to recompense those adversely affected? Incredibly, the government wants to blame those most affected. Watch Chris Hipkins say with a straight face that people affected by vaccine mandates “ultimately made their own choices”. The level of gas lighting is shocking. Aside from NZ First and minor parties started in response to pandemic mismanagement, this opinion seemed to be shared by all the major parties. No one is prepared to shoulder any blame whatsoever or make up for past mistakes.

Our elected politicians have failed to acknowledge adverse effects, failed to call for the compensation of affected people through ACC, and now wish to blame the sufferers themselves. Their answer: You did it to yourselves, go away. Not a single one among our current crop of 120 elected politicians accepts any responsibility for pandemic missteps. Don’t make the mistake of voting them back this October. There is little point in voting anyone in, unless, as a minimum, they plan to immediately entrench the Bill of Rights as an inviolable constitutional principle.

Last week we reported two recently published scientific studies. One of these found that COVID-19 vaccination increases susceptibility to bacterial and viral infection among the young—it weakens immune responses. The other found that COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocardial injury is far more common than previously thought—affecting one person in 35—1000 times higher than the rate admitted by our government. Today we highlight two more studies.

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

A study available at PubMed entitled “Detection of recombinant Spike protein in the blood of individuals vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2: Possible molecular mechanisms” employed mass spectrometry to detect the presence of a version of the Covid spike protein known as a PP type that specifically results only from mRNA vaccination. The authors report that

“The specific PP-Spike fragment was found in 50% of the biological samples analysed, and its presence was independent of the SARS CoV-2 IgG antibody titre. The minimum and maximum time at which PP-Spike was detected after vaccination was 69 and 187 days, respectively.”

In the study conducted in Southern Italy, 20 subjects were mRNA vaccinated, 20 were unvaccinated (this group of subjects did not have Covid or Covid antibodies), another 20 subjects were unvaccinated but tested positive for Covid. Only the vaccinated group tested positive for the vaccine induced PP-spike protein.

Early claims were widely publicised that spike protein would only be produced for a few days after vaccination, supposedly sufficient to stimulate an immune response, and then would cease. However, no study supported these claims. The new study proves these claims false. Over half of the vaccinated subjects had the PP-spike protein for up to the 6 month duration of the study. The authors theorised that:

“It is possible that the mRNA sequences from the vaccine may be integrated or re-transcribed in some cells”.

Given the suspected association between myocardial damage and the spike protein, this points to the continuous production of a cardiac toxin by some genetically transformed cells in a high proportion of vaccinated individuals. As the study terminated after six months, it is quite possible, if not probable, that the effect may continue past six months.

This is not isolated speculation, last year we commented on a study entitled Intracellular Reverse Transcription of Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 In Vitro in Human Liver Cell Line, which found that reverse transcription of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine occurs in vitro (outside the human body). We now have good reason to suspect it also occurs inside our physiology.

A die-hard vaccine advocate might try to defend Covid vaccination, arguing that it increases some risks but on the plus side reduces the rate and risks of Covid infections. Yet a year ago a study was published in the journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases entitled Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Naturally Acquired Immunity versus Vaccine-induced Immunity, Reinfections versus Breakthrough Infections: A Retrospective Cohort Study which found that the opposite is the case. The authors reported that vaccinated individuals have a 13-fold increased risk of a breakthrough Covid infection when compared to unvaccinated individuals who have acquired natural immunity through prior infection. Moreover, the vaccinated group had a 7-fold increased risk of symptomatic Covid infection involving hospitalisation when compared to the unvaccinated.

This doesn’t seem to have prevented health authorities from rushing to hand out more Covid jabs the minute new variants are reported, without stopping to investigate. The newly detected Pirola (BA.2.86), a variant of Omicron, is a case in point. The UK government is speeding up Covid vaccination programmes and widening availability before anything reliable is known about its severity or transmissibility.

In a message for the public, UK Health Security Agency chief executive Dame Jenny Harries falsely asserted:

“Thanks to the success [???] of our vaccine programme, we have built strong, broad immune defences against new variants throughout the population.”

And followed up with the non-sequitur—you need to get yet another shot—saying “In the meantime, please come forward for the vaccine when you are called.”

Dr. Trisha Greenhalgh, a so-called internationally renowned expert and UK government adviser based at the formerly prestigious University of Oxford urged the government: “It might be a good idea to vaccinate everyone”

It makes me wonder if our health tsars are thinking before speaking, or are they stuck on auto-pilot? This all reminds me of people standing on street corners with signs saying “the end is nigh” or rather “the golden age is just around the next corner if only you will take one more dose of my marvellous medicines”. It doesn’t make any sense when you compare these statements to health data and published science.

There are occasional flashes of realism creeping in. Dyed in the wool vaccine supporter Stuff newspaper admitted last week, “We lack quality evidence about how effective different interventions are.” In other words, we have been feeding you a lot of balderdash. You can say that again.

Two weeks ago, we reported official NZ government figures recording that the number of people unable to work because of disability had increased by 37.5% since 2020. Recently it was reported that the number of people of working age with a disability in the USA rose by 857,000 in June. The media comment on such alarming figures is often tied up with vague talk of Long Covid, which only serves to confuse the issue and pump the fear factor. The effect of mRNA vaccination is simply not mentioned. The four studies we have cited in this and our previous release reveal a completely different story.

The authors of these papers went to great lengths to separate the effect of Covid infection from the effect of mRNA Covid vaccination. In each case, the effect Covid vaccination alone was to blame for adverse effects or poor immune responses. It is notable that other data we have previously reported indicates that each subsequent Covid vaccination dose further increases the risks of adverse effects.

There is a lesson here. I am reporting the above studies with a blanket recommendation, don’t take any more doses of mRNA Covid vaccines. The risks are verified to be substantial and serious. But let’s ask a more probing question: Why are mRNA vaccines so dangerous?

mRNA vaccines are designed to breach the cell membrane which protects the genetic intelligence of the body.

An analogy might make the significance of this process clear. Imagine a castle which houses the wise ruler of a territory. Safe in his castle, the ruler exercises his power and is able to manage the whole territory. An enemy army approaches. Using cannons, they breach the castle walls and create havoc, deposing the ruler and his administration. The system of wise rule breaks down, and everyone in the territory is now at risk. The invaders thought they would take over the territory and benefit from its riches. Instead, chaos rules.

The genetic intelligence operating inside our cells is completely different from the linear intelligence used to design mRNA vaccines. Linear or limited human intelligence makes one decision at a time that unfolds a chain of events. Genetic intelligence makes multiple decisions simultaneously and manages multiple interlocking functions in the trillions of cells in the human body, like the ruler in the castle who manages the whole territory. The mRNA vaccine is the invading army, it is not designed to protect the myriad functions of genetic intelligence, in fact, it undermines them.

The studies we have looked at in this, and our last release illustrate how immune function is compromised by mRNA vaccines. They illustrate the dangers which surface when multi-purpose genetic intelligence is replaced by a single focus on one particular type of activity to the exclusion of general immunity. Finally, they show how natural immunity is better placed to handle viral threats.

This points to a general principle—natural laws take multiple decisions simultaneously at all places, man-made laws are limited to specific circumstances and places. Uncountable trillions of physiological functions are automatically and precisely taken care of by our cells functioning under genetic intelligence every hour of the day. Replacing this kind of intelligence with crude fragments of genetic material invented in a lab is dangerous in the extreme, it is potentially terminal.

Just look around at the state of the world after the pandemic. We have emerged damaged. Resetting our medical, administrative, justice and economic systems is proving hard indeed. Chaos is threatening to rule.

There are time-honoured systems of protecting immunity. The traditional systems of Indian Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Western herbal lore utilise the genetic intelligence of plants to enhance immune function. Spiritual well being supported by prayer is revered. Systems of meditation known to multiple cultures provide very deep rest aiding recovery. Exercise, dietary, and breathing regimes are also proven to aid recovery. Fresh air, sunshine and family time are necessary. These provide major benefits. Studies confirm considerable improvements in health across a range of multiple conditions. I discuss and reference these in my book Your DNA Diet.

As we move into the election, we have to ask what are the health perspectives of the candidates and potential new political leaders? As the pandemic unfolded, government health policy, media comment and medical advice became highly integrated, but it was integrated around a false paradigm of health that was heavily promoted by pharmaceutical interests focused on profit. New science findings have revealed some very hard truths about safety. The establishment has found these very difficult to face. Before voting, we need to know who among our future politicians are capable of assimilating the new perspective on health and protecting us from falling victim to ever more invasive genetic experimentation.

We have entered the election silly season where politicians of all parties are promising us the earth. All the more important that we keep our feet on the ground and stick to the facts.

It takes time to design, fund, execute, and publish good studies, but a succession of very concerning results have recently been published in scientific journals. Will this change the drift of Covid politics and media reporting? It should, but instead, we are being treated to yet more scare stories and vaccine talk. So what are facts?

A Swiss study published July 4th, 2023, in the European Journal of Heart Failure entitled “Sex-specific differences in myocardial injury incidence after COVID-19 mRNA-1273 booster vaccination” has found that myocardial injury is far more common than previously thought. The authors realised that passive reporting of myocarditis following vaccination would only capture severe cases, missing milder cases which also affect future cardiac health outcomes.

In their prospective study of 777 healthcare workers following Moderna Covid mRNA booster vaccination, the authors tested for acute dynamic increase in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) concentration above the gender-specific normal upper limit on day 3 after vaccination without evidence of an alternative cause. 40 participants were found to have such elevated troponin levels, and 22 of these were adjudicated to have vaccine-associated myocardial injury. That is a whopping rate of one person out of 35 recipients. Women were more likely to be affected than men. As a measure of scale, 1 in 35 is a thousand times higher than the myocarditis rate currently admitted by our government.

A study published in Frontiers in Immunology 25th August 2023 entitled “BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccination in children alters cytokine responses to heterologous pathogens and Toll-like receptor agonists” offers even more concerning information. Children aged 5-11 vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine had a reduced immune response to viral and bacterial pathogens when tested 28 days after their second shot. In other words, they suffered Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency (VAIDS). In short, they had become more vulnerable to a range of diseases as a result of vaccination. For a detailed discussion of the implications read here.

I can’t help thinking of the judges who ordered the vaccination of children against the wishes of one or other parents. I can’t help thinking of the elevated rates of heart disease in New Zealand. The unprecedented high rates of vaccine injury and excess deaths. The studies cited above provide further understanding of how this is happening.

These are not unexpected findings. Eminent scientists have warned about these outcomes from early in the vaccine rollout.

These early warnings fell on deaf ears, they should do so no longer. The medical tsars, media explainers, and political leaders need to take note, yet they are still stuck firmly in a groove.

Rather than building on facts presented in carefully designed and executed studies like these, politicians in election mode are finely tuned to speaking whatever they think may get them more votes. With a population heavily conditioned by government advertising to fear a plague of Covid, the common political strategy is to play on the fear and promise to make it all go away with, you guessed it, more vaccines. Watch Joe Biden on the campaign trail at Lake Tahoe over the weekend say:

“I signed off this morning on a proposal we have to present to Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is necessary, that works.”

“And tentatively, not decided, finally but tentatively, it is recommended that – it would likely be recommended that everybody get it,” the president continued. “Whether they got it before or not.”

You don’t need me to tell you that ‘recommended for everyone whether vaccinated before or not’ is political-speak for renewed vaccine mandates. If you compare Biden’s ideas with the above studies, you realise that the political and financial clout of pharmaceutical companies is big enough to drown any facts out of the conversation—even if it might send us to hospital.

The plain idiocy of this view should by now be obvious, but this seems to have escaped a great many people. Watch former democratic representative Harold Ford’s reaction to the Biden agenda. He plans to get his seventh shot and admits to having had Covid three times already. What goes through someone’s mind getting a seventh when the previous six definitely haven’t worked? You tell me.

I’m speechless, or rather frozen in front of my keyboard. What more can you possibly say to warn about the dangers of mRNA Covid vaccines? Especially when no one in authority is likely to be listening. They don’t work, they harm 1 in 35 within 3 days, and they trigger immune deficiency, which could lower resistance to a range of diseases. Cancers, heart disease, strokes, and kidney disease are on the rise but keep on taking the COVID-19 vaccines, the government tells us. The unwritten sub text:—we will continue to spend big on Covid vaccines, thereby supporting the American economy, helping to increase our national debt, and destroying our national health service.

So what makes our politicians, media pundits, and medical authorities so wilfully blind to our welfare? There appear to be a number of reasons, not the least of which are money and power. Covid has become our leading bureaucratic industry. It has multiplied opportunities to wield political and professional power and benefit from lucrative contracts.

The state expects to control our lives. A month ago, the SIS reported to parliament that foreign powers were conducting interference in New Zealand. They included the usual suspects like China and Iran but also went further to warn that New Zealanders had begun to talk about concepts foreign to our national identity, like the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

The US First Amendment prevents the government from making laws that

‘regulate an establishment of religion, or that prohibit the free exercise of religion, or abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.’

I am sure you will agree that these are not concepts that are foreign to New Zealand. We have almost identical principles in our Bill of Rights. Principles that the government and the courts set aside during the pandemic.

These are not abstract principles, they are fundamental to a healthy relationship between the people and the state. The plans of Western governments, including ours, appear to be going in an opposite direction—more state control over fundamental rights and freedom of speech. To find out more about this, watch here.

Ever escalating control of the means of communication and information content is an unsustainable strategy. As Abraham Lincoln said:

“You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

Inevitably, the truth will rise to the surface, just as it is through the process of Covid science investigation and publishing. Continuing to ignore the accumulating evidence of harm amounts to political folly of the worst kind. The verdict of history will no doubt be very harsh, but the harm to individual and public health is already devastating.

Another among hundreds of novel biotech vaccines currently under development for a range of diseases has gained approval from the US FDA. 

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

Abrysvo is Pfizer’s vaccine for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants through active immunisation of pregnant women at 32-36 weeks of gestational age.

Approval was granted despite the results of the clinical trial of 7126 participants, which found the rate of preterm births among the experimental group was 17% higher than the placebo group. Preterm birth is the leading cause of death in children under 5 years. RSV is a common respiratory illness that usually causes mild cold-like symptoms.

This appears to be an indication that drug safety standards have been significantly relaxed in the wake of the pandemic. High rates of adverse effects no longer appear to be a barrier to approval.

Here in New Zealand, there is a pervading sense of unreality as we drag ourselves towards an election where almost none of the candidates are prepared to discuss our unprecedented rate of excess death except to deny it is happening.

Last night I thought “a society that normalises death has lost its way” and then I started to laugh because of course death is entirely normal, in the end everyone will experience it. Perhaps a better way to express this disturbing thought is to realise that our society seems to have lost its capacity to value life.

It is profoundly worrying to reflect on the state of society.

Our medical system is overwhelmed and in any case seems determined to support pharmaceutical interventions that not only don’t work but also harm the recipients. Our economic circumstances appear unfair and unbalanced and set to become more challenging.

It is hard not to feel that everything that we had previously trusted, or in some cases tolerated, has failed us. We certainly felt we had a place in society that for many people no longer exists. There have been moments of family tragedy and some alienation too. Loss of employment and career prospects. The advice of some cultural or religious mentors has suddenly appeared inappropriate or even damaging to followers. The courts have rejected our right of medical choice, ignoring the provisions of the Bill of Rights.

Politicians are untrustworthy and more to the point uninterested or worse aggressive.

Unbelievably, everyone in authority seems all set to do it all again. National and ACT are pledged to deregulate biotechnology experimentation, apparently completely unmoved by the rapidly growing evidence of an accident at the biotech lab in Wuhan.

If you want to know just how disturbingly tied up with political and military madness this policy is, watch Tucker Carlson interview Robert F. Kennedy Jnr here or Russell Brand summarise the evidence here. If you want to review what is inherently unsafe about biotechnology, read my short summary, “Twenty Reasons Biotechnology Experimentation Should Be Outlawed“

The sheer bloody-minded commitment to a biotech future whatever the human cost speaks of lack of intelligence, complete disregard of the risk to life, venal greed, confused imagination and a deranged desire to play God.

Our first and continuing reaction has been to try to put it all right, to restore a sense of normality. We have rushed about talking to anyone who will listen and even some who refuse to listen. We have talked rationally, referenced science, history, and human rights all to a largely unresponsive and often hostile audience. So what do we do now?

The inevitable reaction is to question whether something has gone fundamentally wrong with the foundational principles of our society.

Earlier this year, we had a big storm up here in Northland. Two panels were completely blown out of our greenhouse. Recently I found time to mend it. In order to slot the panels back into place, I had to disassemble dozens of bolts holding the affected corner together, until I got down to the foundation. There I found the cause of the problem. One bolt was missing. It was never assembled properly, which meant the whole structure was able to flex in the wind enough to release the panels. If the foundation isn’t right, the structure can’t stand.

So what is the foundation of society?

It’s a big question that has no doubt already occurred to you and occupied your thoughts, as it has mine. Which and where are the foundational principles that we can rely on in troubled times?

Whilst democracy appears to have failed us and technology has sometimes isolated and disempowered us, the sun still rises every day. Can we rely on nature to see us through? Perhaps like me, you find it alarming that the focus of political rhetoric has shifted to changing nature through biotechnology.

Certainly, we must retain our faculty of discrimination between right and wrong, truth and falsehood. In the confused blur of the information age we also need to identify what is primary and what is secondary, to distinguish cause from effect. The integrity of our genetic identity is certainly primary to health. National and ACT’s plan to relax the safety rules governing biotech experimentation are reckless and out of touch with the pandemic lessons we should be learning from. Pretending to the public that all is well is an indication of what we could suffer during the next political term.

Imposing risk to human life, or even ignoring it, is a kind of madness. This suggests that collective consciousness could have been adversely affected by the pandemic. Civilisation depends on the quality of consciousness of its members. Stability, adaptability, creativity, intelligence, respect, fairness, empathy and countless other rational qualities have built civilization, debase these and we can hardly imagine where we will end up.

Justice is a function of society that should never be bypassed. There are countless cases of miscarriage of justice throughout history that bring shame on all those involved. For example, Edward Ates, a fifty year old black man was released in 2018 after spending 20 years in a Texas jail for a murder he did not commit. Five years later, he is still classified as out on parole despite DNA evidence that proves he did not commit the crime. Ates was convicted partly through the false testimony of a felon who was promised a reduced sentence.

The authorities in Texas have no desire to exonerate Ates because he would be eligible for compensation, so he still languishes with the stigma of parole status, despite being completely innocent. The Innocence Project believes they know who the actual perpetrator was. The Texas authorities are abusing their power by failing to pursue justice for Ates and failing to go after the real perpetrator. They are determined to stick to their big lie despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, including DNA. The Ates case is the subject of episode three of Web of Death, entitled Crowdsourced Justice which is currently streaming on Disney.

The parallels to pandemic justice have probably not escaped you. Three years ago the unvaccinated were wrongly accused of a crime and punished. Despite growing evidence that mRNA vaccination is neither effective nor safe, the unvaccinated still carry a stigma. Mistakes have not been acknowledged. The real victims of the crime are the vaccinated who have been subjected not just to Covid infection which is almost certainly the result of an escaped genetically modified virus, but they have also received multiple shots designed to teach their nervous system to produce toxic levels of its spike protein. The perpetrators have never been subject to public scrutiny, instead, they have been richly rewarded.

Doubling down on unregulated biotechnology experimentation, as National and ACT are proposing, will simply create opportunities to repeat offences. The parallels to Ates’ case stop here. Ates was one man wrongly convicted of a horrific murder. The pandemic has created billions of victims, millions of wrongly convicted individuals, and tens of thousands of very rich perpetrators. Genetic modification is inherently unsafe, spreads without limit, and can never be recalled.
