Inside the Covid Cult

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has announced that the incidence of atrial fibrillation has increased by 50% over the last decade. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a condition which causes an irregular and often rapid heart rate. It can lead to stroke and heart failure. The BHF did not release any supporting figures by year which might point to a potential cause. Watch Dr. John Campbell describing as ‘astonishing’, both the huge rise in AF and the lack of detailed data.

Here in New Zealand heart disease is at record levels, but politicians of all parties are repeating again and again, along with their expert Dr. Michael Baker, that there are no excess deaths. As if repeating a lie will be enough to make it come true. However, the official tally of OECD statistics shows that in 2023 New Zealand deaths are running at an astonishing 18.2% above the long term average. The second highest rate among 31 OECD nations.

This doesn’t appear to matter one whit to our politicians who remain confident they are one source of truth, fully in control of mainstream media, backed by the medical establishment, able to censor social media, protected from the courts by parliamentary privilege, and not required to answer any questions.

It probably hasn’t escaped your notice that all these are recognised characteristics of cult leaders who systematically manipulate their followers and seek to exercise total control. To say that cults do not end well would be an understatement. Once your followers are sufficiently prepped to ignore fact, any crooked and perverted manipulation becomes a possibility.

Once indoctrinated, it is difficult to persuade cult followers they have been duped. Leaders ensure that every event that runs counter to their ideology is neatly fitted into their world view whether based on fact or not. It becomes especially damaging when the force of law is used to ensure compliance and eliminate redress.

You can hardly avoid news of sudden onset illness or unexpected deaths in the daily newspapers or among friends, but there is always an innocuous sounding cause on offer. If considered rationally, the unprecedented number of unusual deaths would render these excuses implausible. However, cults don’t do rational.

Quietly Disaster Has Been Creeping Up on Us

This brings us to a rather sad realisation—with all the elected political parties complicit in Covid policy, it is almost ludicrous to believe that the coming election will change anything. Prepandemic, our current situation was almost inconceivable, but quietly disaster has been creeping up on us.

Published in 2020, an article in Harvard University Health Publishing gives us a hint. Senior Editor Robert Shmerling argues that it is not possible or even practical as a medical practitioner to be guided by “to do no harm” as the Hippocratic oath suggests, instead saying:

You can’t tell ahead of time whether a test or treatment will ‘do no harm’.

In other words, it has become widely accepted in medical practice that adverse events are inevitable and unpredictable. This is an argument that seeks to justify the irresponsible push for risky and dangerous biotech medicine and experimentation at any cost.

So what will change minds? When you look at Ponzi schemes, dictators, and cults, the answer is always the same. They end when total disaster strikes. Just how high will excess deaths have to rise before the powers that be accept that a giant mistake has been made?

Inside the Covid cult there are a few cracks appearing in the safe and effective narrative. It has quietly become acceptable for doctors to privately advise their patients that they might be vaccine injured, for pathologists to advise the children of friends that they should avoid Covid vaccination, for vaccinologists to say they won’t be getting any more boosters. These are small steps that indicate a direction of change, they also indicate that those at the health frontline know that something has gone radically wrong.

However, the political and media endorsement of biotechnology remains near total. Given the weight of Covid science publishing, there is no justification for this.

The suggestion that New Zealand’s pandemic policy has been world beating is a hollow lie, pandering to notions of national pride and allegiance. Like the medicos who think it is impossible to “to do no harm”, politicians are actually denying the obvious. By doing so they are tacitly endorsing inevitable deaths in the course of policy. This is a very militaristic, self-obsessed, and flawed way to think—glorious sacrifice—“Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die”.

Pandemic policy has stolen our bodily autonomy and our right to medical choice. It has overruled nature’s design of immunity and health. It has debased truth, substituting government pronouncement. It has seized control of children from families and whanau. It has inserted propaganda into education. It has rendered employees subservient. It has cancelled dialogue.

In short, it has taken the world in which we thought we lived and turned it upside down. It is no good thinking this is a battle between right and left. That too is a story to keep everyone distracted from the real issues. It is a question of what kind of fundamental individual rights can we retain? Rights that we previously took for granted.

By framing the world as vaccinated vs unvaccinated, political power backed by pharmaceutical money has redrawn ideological boundaries along the lines of novel biotechnologies. This is a giant act of deception that completely ignores the transhumanism involved.

When I was growing up, we gave thanks for the harvest. The modern age has joined in the cult of biotechnology, this seems to offer supremacy over nature, but it hasn’t worked. To succeed, to know, to enjoy you have to work with nature.

I have just finished reading “The History of the World in 100 Plants” by Simon Barnes. Barnes concludes: we are descended from the biodiversity and bioabundance of plants. “Look at this planet and its uncountable plants. We owe them everything”. Taittiriya Upanishad confirms “life-breath is indeed food.” We depend entirely on the natural world around us, yet biotechnology is seeking to overthrow this mutual interdependency and substitute a ephemeral figment of man’s imagination and pride—an impossible dream and a hideous nightmare that puts our continued existence at risk.

Voting for today’s crop of politicians is a forlorn hope, it is a blank check for continued biotechnology experimentation on ourselves. It is a licence to adulterate our traditional food sources and place them in the hands of unscrupulous biotechnology megacorporations.

There may be ways to restore individual health. Plants are our evolutionary forebears. They supported and helped create the genetic stability that we have enjoyed until today, hopefully, their intelligent use through diet and herbal traditions can help restore public health. A precondition of progress is the recognition of mistakes, the cessation of biotech vaccines for humans and animals, renewed protections of pure natural foods, and a recognition of their role in maintaining health.

This is not a time to give up our rights, and hand them to the same politicians who have already laughed at medical choice and mocked those suffering serious adverse events, who have run roughshod over our Bill of Rights. They don’t deserve our vote. Under their leadership it could all begin again.

What Can Be Done to Fix the Future? Who Will We Vote for Now?

0

It seems to have become a trend for politicians to hint that there might just have been some mistakes in the formulation of pandemic policy, but then they add something to the effect: it doesn’t really matter now, because we did our best.

Former PM Jacinda Ardern, speaking yesterday at the World Health Organisation assembly, said

“Mistakes we made, things we got right, not all of it will be relevant here but much of it was….All I can reflect is just how accurate your prescribed approach is building a healthy future, science, solutions, solidarity.

She continued there was “so much to learn from the experience” and concluded, 

“In the aftermath of the crisis, we have not just done something, we have done enough.”

Meanwhile, Funding for Biotech Research Into New mRNA Vaccines Continues

But did she or her government learn from the experience? Have they done enough or much at all for those who lost their jobs or the thousands who lost their health and in some cases their lives? Has there been any genuine assessment of the impact of their huge miscalculations and misdirections?

It might just be possible to run with some sort of apology if it wasn’t for the fact that governments around the world including ours are still encouraging, not to say coercing, more ineffective, harmful booster uptake. They are also funding biotech research into new mRNA vaccines, and even risky gain of function research—the arch villain of pandemic origins. There is no evidence of reflective assessment of what went wrong, just more politicking and self-promotion.

Politicians have missed the mark by failing to realise or acknowledge that health outcomes declined and excess deaths rose. These statistics involve individual people who are struggling with their health but are being denied access to information.

The level of denial and gaslighting is astounding. As a friend’s doctor admitted recently:

“you probably are vaccine-injured, but there is no box on the form for me to tick to confirm it.”

Pandemic Policy Ran Roughshod Over Employment Rights and Health Choices

It pushed genuine science aside in a rush to facilitate a global biotechnology experiment. It forgot the wisdom of the ages embodied in the Hippocratic Oath “to do no harm”. It abandoned caution and ignored risks. It not just misled the population, but brain washed them with unsubstantiated claims of safety and efficacy. It divided nations and families.

In many cases, governments ignored the advice of cautious experts. They lauded those of a fawning disposition. They engaged advisors and cronies at exorbitant rates and ignored their poor performance. They amassed mountains of debt on our behalf with little thought for the economic future of the nation. They paid the media to sing their praises

In truth, lessons have not been learned. To this day, governments around the world are hiding and obfuscating pandemic data, failing to distinguish the different outcomes of the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Preventing genuine scientific debate and limiting access to fact. Reaching agreements with social media giants to cancel questioning voices. In doing so, they are seeking to overturn science as it has been practised for 400 years.

Science has progressed through open dialogue and access to experimental data. It is now missing in action.

No apology has been made for any of this. The discriminatory and punitive laws they passed are still on the statute books. The leading characters in the charade have not been subject to cross examination in public forums or in the courts. The myths of biotechnology are still the subject of fanciful puff pieces in the media claiming a disease-free future, all paid for by those in the pharmaceutical industry who stand to profit greatly from the deception.

When was the last time we saw a politician consenting to a genuine dialogue with the electorate? Locked safely in their castles, they pronounce from the throne with their eyes firmly fixed on the glittering global stage.

The rich and famous, including our elected politicians and public servants are, like Ardern, preening their feathers on the international circuit far from the madding crowd as if they engineered a miracle pandemic escape, but it is all just a mirage of their self-congratulatory imagination. The world has changed but not for the better. Hospitals are overflowing. Excess deaths have reached record levels. Crime has surged. Poverty is rearing its ugly head.

What Happens When Truth, Fact, Tradition, and Caution Are Ignored

It is hard to distinguish who is fooling who and what their ultimate aims might be. In the unregulated global space, billionaires, political leaders, big pharma CEOs, and the heads of intergovernmental agencies are vying for control and wealth. They are talking as if real people are just pawns in a game.

This is what happens when truth, fact, tradition, and caution are ignored. The only way to turn the tide of destruction is for a genuine apology to be issued and processes of restitution embarked upon. National sovereignty must be restored. Our Bill of Rights granted entrenched constitutional status.

As we prepare to vote, we should ask ourselves which of the candidates is prepared to listen to us. To whom could you ask questions? Who among them has looked deeper into the facts? Are they prepared to rationally and openly address the issues that matter?

Place Chris Hipkins, David Seymour, Chris Luxon, and Marama Davidson side by side with Winston Peters and Matt King and ask yourself who is listening or even looking your way. Trust yourself not the paid media.

Increased Risk of Blindness Over Two Years Following mRNA Vaccination

A study of data from 1.5 million subjects in the US healthcare system reveals an increased risk of blindness over two years following mRNA vaccination.

Updated: 6:00 PM 22 May 2023

Fortunately, many people are waking up to a multi-billion dollar web of self-interest promoted by our government, the health establishment, the pharmaceutical/biotech industry, and legacy media…. but not everyone. True to form, the NZ Herald this morning leads with a lament, apparently only a minority of eligible New Zealanders have risked taking the bivalent vaccine.

In support of its call to vaccinate yet again, the Herald article cites a study published by Cambridge University Press which looks at “Inequities in COVID-19 Omicron infections and hospitalisations for Māori and Pacific people in Te Manawa Taki Midland region, New Zealand”. A close look at the study reveals now familiar deficiencies that we have discussed in the pages of the Hatchard Report before:

  • As expected, the definition of ‘unvaccinated’ is anyone who is actually unvaccinated + anyone who had a single dose. The paper should be tossed in the bin for this alone.
  • The paper doesn’t specify whether or not they consider someone vaccinated in the first week after receiving their shot, but probably they are using Ministry of Health definitions which discard the crucial first week of data following mRNA vaccination thereby omitting adverse outcomes.
  • Many people were admitted to hospital for causes unrelated to Covid between February and May but still tested positive. This factor was only removed in early July when they started filtering for unrelated morbidities.
  • The study data time frame was February to June 2022. This was an interesting period. ‘Efficacy’ against Covid hospitalisation and mortality started in favour of boosters, but crossed over by May as the vaccine efficacy wore off and then entered negative territory. In other words, after May 2022 boosted individuals had a higher chance of Covid infection and death than the unvaccinated. The study would have got a very different set of results if they had considered May-September as well or instead.

If you take a broad sample of recently published research, it seems avoiding repeated Covid vaccination could be a very significant and safe choice.

Increased Risk of Blindness Over Two Years Following mRNA Vaccination

A very large and carefully specified study published in prestigious journal Nature of US healthcare data involving 1.5 million subjects has found that your risk of developing retinal vascular occlusion (RVO) doubles within the two years following Covid vaccination when compared to unvaccinated individuals (see here for a detailed explanation of the study findings by Dr. Mobeen Syed).

The results are especially alarming because all categories of people whose health history and drug use might lead to a propensity to suffer from RVO were excluded from the study. The two groups of vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects were matched by age, sex, race, comorbidities, medications, and previous hospitalisation. In other words, the results point very clearly to a doubling of risk for those receiving mRNA vaccines.

The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye that converts light images to nerve signals and sends them to the brain. Retinal vein occlusion is a blockage of the small veins that carry blood away from the retina. It is most often caused by the formation of a blood clot which blocks the flow of blood through the retina and causes severe damage to the blood vessels and the retina itself.

Retinal vascular occlusion involves the loss of sight in the affected eye; in simple terms it leads to blindness. Many people suffering from retinal vascular occlusion do regain some vision naturally. However, vision rarely returns to normal. There is no known intervention to reverse or open retinal vascular blockages. Older people are especially vulnerable to retinal vascular occlusion, the same people our government and Te Whatu Ora are vigorously targeting to take another Covid shot.

It seems Te Whatu Ora is suffering from selective blindness itself. It is so keen to promote its vaccine uptake strategy, that it is not keeping up to date with the increasingly long list of concerning mRNA Covid vaccine adverse effect studies, and certainly not informing the public about these risks.

So What Sort of Blood Clots Develop as a Result of mRNA Vaccination, and How Do They Form?

Considering that the incidence of heart attacks and strokes has increased dramatically, you would think that funded research could prioritise research in this area, but in the post Covid vaccine era, you would of course be wrong. Everyone involved with promoting biotech vaccines is busy looking the other way.

This article contains microscopy photos of unusual blood clots found in the arteries of suddenly deceased individuals. They contain relatively large fibrous, crystalline, and wire-like structures, not the cellular agglomerations of typical blood clots. These cannot normally be observed until autopsies are performed. Micro clots are another type of risk.

The retinal vascular occlusion study suggests mechanisms for micro clot formation, including molecular mimicry of the Spike-protein and/or heparin suppression. Heparin is the factor which prevents platelet aggregation or micro clotting. The retinal arteries and veins are unusual in as much as small pathogenic micro clots forming in the blood can be directly observed in the eye. Moreover, their effects are immediately apparent to the patient and the treating physician. This opens a possible window into the study of the formation of blood clots following mRNA vaccination and their treatment.

Increasingly the New Zealand government’s Covid policy looks blinkered, defensive, and deceptive. Last week, the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) released a tender for a major contract to provide ‘insights to build an empirical picture of the disinformation landscape.’ The newly appointed disinformation Tsar (at a cost of $450,000), whoever they are, will do well to look into the government itself. It might have become the principal source of misinformation in the nation.

According to Mintel, which styles itself as the world’s leading Market Intelligence agency, 2023 is the year of “hyperfatigue”—a state of continual physical, emotional and mental exhaustion. In a recent UK survey, 35% of people said they were too tired to make healthy changes to their diet and activity levels, suggesting many are in a vicious circle of fatigue-induced self-sabotage, leading to more fatigue.

Cancer Research UK, estimates that 40% of all cases of cancer could be avoided if more people lived healthier lives, for example by eating more healthily, being active, maintaining a normal weight, avoiding sunburn and not smoking, but we’re not taking their advice. Basically, we’re too tired to tackle our tiredness.

So what has made 2023 so unusually fatigued? Might it have something to do with an infectious disease almost certainly created in a laboratory possibly as part of a bioweapon development programme along with a misnamed vaccine, also created in a biolab, that doesn’t work and appears to make people sick? You tell me.

There are an increasing number of unwell people suffering from conditions which studies show might be caused or complicated by mRNA vaccination, but the government is keeping quiet and relying on hyperfatigue and its own one source of truth doctrine to prevent people looking any deeper. We recently heard from a young acquaintance who informed us of their heart disease diagnosis. They remained not just uninformed of the possible cause, but also reassured by government advertising that Covid vaccines are safe.

You don’t have to look very far for a cause these days. A Japanese paper published last week outlines the case of a man who developed myocarditis immediately after the administration of his fifth shot. Hospitalisations are at record levels, our health system is under siege, …..and winter is coming.

When Worlds Collide

Corrected and updated: 14 May 2023

We have arrived at a point in an election year when our votes matter, so expect some surprising replies to our emails and even some answers to our questions. BUT, if today was anything to go by, it won’t be without fireworks.

Yesterday, I fact checked David Seymour, who, in his Reality Check Radio interview, had asserted very strongly that New Zealand has had no excess deaths. I used the statistical graphical interface from the Human Mortality Database run by the University of California and the Max Planck Institute in Germany to generate charts to illustrate Seymour’s misunderstanding. This interface queried the same official data as Our World in Data referred to by David Seymour.

Once you factor in the absence of seasonal flu in 2021, these charts illustrate very clearly that New Zealand has had elevated rising rates of excess deaths beginning in 2021 and continuing since.

Clinging to Total Lunacy

However, David Seymour and Rachel Beauchamp, his Executive Assistant, wrote to a number of correspondents this morning (12 May) rejecting the information I posted. David stood by his assessment that deaths in New Zealand were below historical averages. In fact, a little bit more than that, David said that anyone who clings to the idea that mRNA vaccines killed anyone is in his words “clinging to total lunacy” (???).

In February, the New Zealand Herald, that bastion of mainstream Covid orthodoxy, published an article entitled “New Zealand records biggest increase in registered deaths in 100 years” The Herald article referred to 2022 mortality figures.

From the headline, it won’t have escaped your notice that the excess deaths have become so large that even the Herald wasn’t able to ignore them, but politicians apparently can. So who are the lunatics now?

The Herald article did its best to downplay the significance of so many people dying:

It began its statistical sleight of hand by comparing 2022 to 2021 rather than the historical average of deaths.

Then mentioned that 2020 had very low deaths because border controls and lockdowns kept seasonal flu and respiratory illness at very low levels. That is true, but it forgot to mention that the same controls and no flu conditions applied to most of 2021 as well.

A Lot of People Are Dying

Was it just a selective memory that made David forget that the Herald had published the official record of elevated excess deaths? Should we expect the Ministry of Health to warn politicians about the elevated number of people dying? Or have they been making sure that the concerning data has a low profile in order to protect themselves from criticism? Is it all going very wrong for the Covid vaccination lobby? Are they panicking? What do you think?

No worries though, the Herald called in that well worn epidemiologist Michael Baker, who for the first time seemed to admit that something might be going wrong. Rather than claiming, as he has previously, that New Zealand has no excess deaths, he started reminiscing about the great success in the initial years of the pandemic, (presumably 2020 when we had no Covid, no vaccines, no flu, and very few doubts about Michael Baker).

In his email, David Seymour asserted that New Zealand has negative excess deaths (less than expected from historical trends). The fundamental of this assertion is that if you average the very low death totals from 2020 with subsequent years, you can make the excess deaths in 2021, 2022, and 2023 look a lot less concerning.

This cumulative averaging of deaths used by Michael Baker, tends to hide what is really going on. In fact, unexplained New Zealand excess deaths are getting larger year by year since 2020. It also avoids facing the fact that hospital admissions are also getting larger year by year and disproportionately affecting the vaccinated. Like the rise in deaths, hospital admissions began to rise in 2021, before we had Covid, but after we had the vaccine rollout, despite the relative absence of seasonal flu.

The Elephant in the Corner of the Room is Becoming Too Large to Ignore

We have reached a point now where the elephant in the corner of the room is becoming too large to ignore. The record-breaking mortality figures from 2022 were complicated by the high number deaths recorded as Covid related. These have tailed off in 2023. Therefore the continuing high rate of excess deaths is doubly concerning.

Have we entered the phase of political disbelief, when it becomes clear that something has gone terribly wrong, but no one wants to accept responsibility? In which misdirection and finger pointing become routine responses.

David Seymour wants us to doubt our sanity. Public health should not be a political football, it is a matter of life and death. Right now, while death is getting the upper hand, no one in authority wants to accept responsibility or do anything about it.

New Zealand is not alone. Overnight the UK Mirror published an article ‘Brits are dying in their tens of thousands – and we don’t really have any idea why‘ It continued:

“Tens of thousands more Brits died than usual from May to December 2022, excluding Covid as a cause of death, raising serious questions as to why so many died”. 

It described the figures as “shocking.”

Professor David Coleman, Emeritus Professor of Demography at Oxford University, told the Mirror:

“a lot of Brits are dying, but not necessarily of a specific cause”. 

After talking to the experts and considering everything from hot summers to obesity to dementia to flu to old age to demographic changes, the Mirror concludes:

“This still leaves tens of thousands of dead Brits, with no clear explanation as to quite how they died”.

New Zealand Excess Deaths 18% Above the Five-Year Average

Just as in New Zealand, the high level of excess deaths in the UK is continuing unabated. The week ending April 21 2023, the Office of National Statistics reported excess deaths were 21% above the five year average. That is 2540 excess deaths in one week alone. Currently, in New Zealand, 2023 excess deaths are running at 18% above the five year average, a very comparable figure.

For two years we have been writing about published scientific research containing evidence of increased illness related to Covid vaccination—cancers, heart disease, myocarditis, kidney disease, strokes, neurological illness, etc. These are all conditions with long term implications for health and longevity. We seem to be facing these consequences now, but the government and the health authorities are looking the other way.

The level of polarisation around the issue of Covid vaccine safety is highly concerning. This is a time to carefully examine the excess mortality and hospitalisation data by age, vaccination status, and disease category. Instead, we are finding that considerable efforts are being made to ensure data is hidden from the public. It is especially concerning to find the leaders of New Zealand political parties continuing to push the idea of vaccine safety in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary.

Please continue to speak up. The more sane voices we can raise, the greater the chance of someone finally taking these excess deaths seriously.

Fact Check: David Seymour Says We Have No Excess Deaths. Is He Right?

David Seymour, Leader of the ACT Party, was interviewed this morning by Paul Brennan on Reality Check Radio. David said that according to the authoritative ‘Our World in Data’ global website run by Oxford University, New Zealand has had no excess deaths during the last three years of the pandemic. In other words, David thinks fewer people have died in New Zealand during the pandemic than you would expect from the historical trends. So I went to Our World in Data to fact check David. Here are the results by year.

The solid orange is excess deaths compared to years 2015-2019. The solid blue is when deaths are less than expected. The blue line is the average 2015-2019. The black line is the current number of deaths by week. The data speaks for itself. My conclusion: I am pretty sure David has never visited Our World in Data. As you can see, excess deaths are getting higher year by year. 2023 is currently running at approximately 18% above the historical average. We are on target to have 6,000 additional deaths in 2023 compared to 2015-2019.

Remember we had virtually no Covid in New Zealand up to September 2021. See here for official Covid infection and death data for NZ:

The relatively lower 2020 excess death figures are due to strict border controls, lockdowns, social distancing, and track and tracing, which kept both Covid and seasonal flu out. In 2021 lockdowns continued, and flu was kept at bay at the border, but as the vaccine rollout began, excess deaths rose. Subsequently, we followed the same upward trajectory as other countries. Just notice that we can’t blame this on Covid because the upward trend began before Covid arrived.

During the interview, David Seymour reaffirmed his support for the Covid vaccination programme and derided any suggestion that there was any safety issue with Covid vaccines.

David told the audience that he was not entirely stupid

We need to not only ask politicians hard questions but also insist on factual answers. I wonder who misled David Seymour, and why didn’t he fact check the figures before passing them off to the public? David told the audience that he was not entirely stupid and a trained engineer who knows how to read a scientific paper. But does he read published papers on Covid safety? It doesn’t seem so.

David also outlined his enthusiasm for genetic engineering, saying that opposition to GMOs in New Zealand was being driven by the superstitious and the crazy. Do you think David Seymour would pay enough attention to safety if elected? With the widespread introduction of genetically engineered mRNA vaccines, we have had a massive in excess deaths, which David seems to want to brush under the carpet.

David is not alone, all our political parties are pretending there are no excess deaths. It would be too embarrassing, considering their support for mRNA vaccination, for them to admit the facts. We need to hold all our politicians to account. There are thousands of deaths unacknowledged by those we have trusted to run to the country. Currently, every day 16 more New Zealanders are dying than the historical trends would predict, but our politicians are not just remaining silent. They are pretending it is not happening.

Listen to Paul Brennan’s interview with David Seymour here:

Trial Data Released by Pfizer Shows Alarming Outcomes for Pregnant Women

preprint paper published this month, shows that IgG4 antibodies are present in the umbilical cord blood of infants born to vaccinated mothers, highlighting a theoretical risk to newborns of an ineffective response to Covid infection. This highlights just how many unknowns we are dealing with when it comes to assessing what will be the long term outcomes of mRNA vaccination.

BUT was this really unknown to those recommending that mRNA vaccination was safe for pregnant women? Documents released by Pfizer under court order reveal that Pfizer and the FDA were well aware of clinical trial results indicating appalling outcomes for babies of pregnant women.

Watch this 20 minute video where dozens of so-called New Zealand experts are recorded telling us that the mRNA Covid vaccines are completely safe for pregnant women in direct contradiction of Pfizer trial results available in April 2021. These indicated an unfolding disaster for babies, including miscarriage, premature birth, cardiac arrest, toxic breast milk, spike protein crossing the placenta, etc.

In the video, their comments are juxtaposed with scientists exposing the highly disturbing content of the Pfizer trials of pregnancy outcomes.

Was the New Zealand Government Aware of This Information?

Certainly, the contractual arrangements that our government had made with Pfizer would have required Pfizer to fully inform the Ministry of Health of all the results of vaccine trials.

BUT the Ministry of Health has completely ignored the information which has become public knowledge. From 1st May 2023, they are again encouraging pregnant and breastfeeding mothers from 16 and up to get a further booster shot. Why? Especially considering the increased incidence of miscarriages and stillbirths since the New Zealand vaccine rollout began.

I can’t imagine at this point in time a more important video to watch than this 20 minute film of our experts lining up to misinform prospective mothers of safety. Were they misled by Pfizer, by the Ministry of Health, by politicians, by the FDA, or by all of the above. OR did they just decide to promote a safety rating without even any evidence to back up their statements? We may never know, but the lesson of this video is clear, we will not be able to trust the medical czars again.

Presentation of Dr. Guy Hatchard to the Wellington Conference on the Therapeutic Products Bill

On May 02, 2023, Dr. Guy Hatchard gave the following speech at the Wellington Conference on the Therapeutic Products Bill.

Hello everyone, I am very grateful for the opportunity to speak to people who care about health. In every part of the world, traditional systems of medicine developed over time based on the healing properties of local plants. These traditions still exist today, many of them well documented and efficiently self-regulated. This is a vast resource of trusted safe and effective knowledge that the proposed Therapeutic Products Bill (TPB) will, without any doubt, mire in red tape as well as unnecessary and harmful restrictions.

Humans have had a co-evolutionary relationship with the natural world for millions of years. Plants are not just the source of our health, but in a very real sense the mothers of humankind. New research and understanding show it is not just the proteins, vitamins, fats, carbohydrates, co-factors of digestion, minerals, etc in our diet that constitute nutrition, but we also benefit from the intelligence or genetic structures in our environment and natural food sources.

Plants are healthy, period. The Therapeutic Products Bill requires that any product claiming to be healthy should be regulated by the government. In other words, the government is proposing to regulate the plant kingdom and much else. If you think about it, this is back to front, the plant kingdom is the one actually supporting our health and hence quietly regulating and supporting the government. It has done so throughout human history.

In the eighteenth century Linnaeus listed 13,000 species of plants, there are about 400,000 known today. Each species may have thousands of varieties, there are 30,000 roses for example. There are 6 million fungi. The idea that a regulator based in Wellington New Zealand will decide about their use and properties as envisioned by the TPB is patently absurd. An impossible Don Quixote enterprise that will absorb tens of millions of dollars of providers’ funds and be used to employ confused and uninformed people to dictate what we have for breakfast and what we choose to take when we are feeling off colour or if we want to improve health and prevent illness. This regulation will bankrupt small providers and leave the field open for offshore multinational corporations.

Paddy Fahy has told us Natural Health Products are used by 65% of the population, a majority. An EU study authored by Juderon Associates estimates that NHPs are 45,000 times safer than pharmaceutical drugs so why on earth are we seeking to regulate them?

The previous failed NZ efforts to regulate NHPs have been driven by the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities ICMRA of which Medsafe is a member, This body sounds very official but is not in fact government sponsored or endorsed, it is largely funded by the pharmaceutical industry and exists in an unregulated global space. ICMRA produced the list of 5,000 approved and restricted substances adopted by the failed 2016 NHP bill. This list is likely to be adopted as the starting point of the present scheme.

Many natural plants are proposed to be banned, or could we say stolen, simply to create a monopoly for those who have synthesised approximate copies of their constituent alkaloids. A full 40 percent of the drugs behind pharmacist’s counters in the Western world are derived from plants that people have used for centuries, including the top 20 best selling prescription drugs. In fact whole plants are more effective, and safer when taken as whole plants

For example the 2016 bill outlawed Senna, a key ingredient of Alpine Tea, a mild safe laxative, that Medsafe banned and removed from stores. Or Rauwolfia Serpentina, which studies show reduces blood pressure safely. Rauwolfia is banned solely because a pharmaceutical company based a drug on its constituents. The 2016 bill proposed restrictions on common plants like Cinnamon, Castor oil, etc. It was a long and stupid list.

Behind this list are efforts to gain monopolistic control over not just NHPs but also foods. The replacement of natural healthy foods with the products of biotechnology is by now a well trodden path.

Originally we had whole plants, herbs, fruits, vegetables, roots, and grains prepared by heating, drying, grinding, infusing, fermenting, pressing, decocting, steaming, making salves in with oils, combinations of multiple ingredients as in Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine etc.

Then we had extracts prepared by fractionation using catalysts, heat, pressure, chemicals, etc, most NZ butter for example is not prepared by churning cream, but by margarine-like processes, which is how we have spreadable butter, cheap butters with the hard fat byproducts, and also why our baking doesn’t turn out like our mother’s did

Then, particularly post WW2, we have had chemical synthesis, and also pesticides and herbicide residues

Now we have GM crops and biotechnology reproduction of herbal extracts and flavours using methods that are inherently mutagenic due to the high reactivity and mobility of genetic processes. Carotene for example long longer comes from carrots, but from a biotech vat.

We are already a long way down that road. We have around 1000 approved pesticides and herbicides used in agriculture. There are over 3000 synthetic food ingredients approved by Medsafe and the number is increasing day by day. These ingredients differ in chemically measurable ways from their natural counterparts, yet they are presumed safe without testing and labelled as natural. This is the kind of useless and risky regulatory regime that the TPB will be offering. If it looks smells, and sounds similar and has the imprimatur of foreign pharmaceutical or biotech industries, it must be OK

We have reached a situation where we are prepared to accept safety on the say-so of some unknown people and corporations overseas with significant commercial interest in dictating our choices. Instead of personal experience, rational thought, purity of natural ingredients and a traditional history of safe use, we are simply saying to someone we don’t even know, “You can decide for us. We will do whatever you say.” The TPB will enshrine this in law.

It has become a fashion for newly elected politicians to believe that they should regulate all our choices. If our pandemic experience has taught us anything it is that “safe and effective” coming from the government or industry does not mean safe or effective. The whole endeavour of the TPB is absurd, impossible in practice, inherently risky, very costly, certain to reduce choice and availability of effective safe remedies, and damaging to traditional healing practices honoured for millennia and known to be safe. Availability of plants should not be regulated by the government. This legislation is a blank cheque and should be rejected.

Therefore in closing, I would like to thank Winston Peters, NZ First leader and former Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, who has today in his speech reiterated his long standing opposition to any attempt to regulate Natural Health Products.

More information about attempts to regulate Natural Health Products is contained in my book Discovering and Defending Your DNA Diet—An Ayurvedic Blueprint for Health and Wellness—Leveraging the Power of Consciousness and Plants To Health Ourselves and Our World, Available from Amazon as a Kindle or you may order a hard copy here.

Are We Going Backwards or Rushing Ahead?

On Tuesday, along with Winston Peters, Gary Moller, and others, I spoke at the Wellington conference opposing the Therapeutic Products Bill (TPB). I was gratified to hear Winston, our former foreign minister and deputy prime minister, reiterating his long term opposition to draconian regulation of natural health products. 65% of Kiwis use them. They’re safe. Winston described the TPB as an overreach out of touch with the people, which should be abandoned.

Someone asked me if we should organise public protests against the TPB. I replied that we need to share more information and knowledge. So is this strategy working?

It seems everyday brings more news of extreme efforts to promote biotech vaccines and cancel those asking questions:

Dr. Mark Tykocinski, an immunologist with a spotless academic record who is president of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, may be about to lose his job. His sole mistake appears to be liking tweets by former NY Times journalist Alex Berenson who questions vaccine safety.

UK MP Andrew Bridgen has been expelled from the conservative party. According to Bridgen, a senior UK politician has privately admitted to him that he might well be right about Covid vaccine harms, but said the government is expecting to suppress public information about Covid vaccine adverse effects for the next 20 years. Citing ‘lack of political appetite’ for a public disclosure.

Statistician Prof. Norman Fenton was locked out of his Twitter account following a complaint that he had broken German Law by claiming Covid data manipulation was creating the appearance of vaccine efficacy, when in fact there was none. The German Government is the main sponsor of BioNTech, the co-creator of the Pfizer mRNA Covid vaccine. Fortunately, the complaint was not upheld, and Fenton was reinstated.

Te Whatu Ora has announced that from 1st May, pregnant people (???) aged 16 to 29 years can now get an additional COVID-19 booster. They don’t seem to have noticed that stillbirths and miscarriages rose following the Covid vaccine rollout. Is it possibly the case that the government has a lot of boosters left over after a poor response to their latest bivalent vaccine campaign and are now trying to offload them via deceptive advertising to mothers who naturally want to do the best for their child?

Highly vaccinated Portugal has seen a 73% rise in emergency callouts for heart attacks. This mirrors the 83% rise in heart attack hospitalisation in Wellington, NZ.

Are Things Getting Worse or Are They Getting Better

So are things getting worse, or are they getting better, and should we protest more loudly? For a start, the continuing attacks from the media and vaccine advocates mean that some people must be seriously worried that the scientific data about vaccine harms is beginning to resonate with a wider audience. We are winning the argument.

In fact, we are being so rational, that our detractors have become even more irrational themselves. The aptly named Disinformation Project (funded by the Prime Minister’s office) released a report today claiming that anti vaxxers have morphed into an even more extreme and dangerous group who are claiming that gender is determined by genetics rather than what you pretend you are when you want to be a decorated athlete or are about to be sent to a men’s prison.

According to Kate Hannah, some Kiwis are very angry about irreversible and risky gender reassignment of children through prescribing of puberty blockers, followed by inherently ineffective gender reassignment carried out by highly paid surgeons. Ze Kate is beyond alarmed. Ze informs us that Kiwis across the political spectrum have united in opposition and feels this is “really concerning” amounting to “terrible, terrible ideas” invading our shores.

Despite genuine sympathy for those whose feelings and responses are transgender in nature, remember that physical gender is determined by our genes. No regime of drugs or surgery can change that, nor any amount of raving from the Disinformation Project. Gender reassignment leads to a physiological conflict between genetic systems and physiological systems that in turn requires, at the very least, a lifetime of drug dependency. Not a decision that should be based on the concerns of minors or their parents subjected to TikTok fantasies or assertive transgender activists.

Despite this, in addition to allowing medical professionals free range to inject us with experimental concoctions, we are now, according to the Prime Minister’s thought police, expected to condone the surgery of minors who may very well regret everything as an adult, but have no path back to sexual functioning in adulthood. We are supposed to identify violent offenders and beefy athletes with beards and penises as women. Good luck with that as a political strategy. We are Kiwis, not Dodos.

So why would extreme ideas, like Kate Hannah’s latest fantasy, garner so much media mileage and even government approval and funding? Ideas that ten years ago would have been laughed out of court and denied the oxygen of publicity.

You have probably noticed there has been an alarming rise in articles and information promoted and even generated by so-called intelligent networks. Newspapers routinely print articles that arrive via their ‘trusted’ partners. Their trusted partners often in turn sourced these from elsewhere. ‘Sourced’ is actually the wrong term. There are networks promoting commercial content and using AI to ensure that articles are widely distributed. The curious deficiency of AI networks is that machines have genuine difficulty sorting truth from falsehood, and apparently biological men from women.

Chatbot ‘journalists’ Found Running Almost 50 Ai-generated Content Farms

This article in the Guardian reports the discovery of Chatbots pretending to be journalists running 49 AI-generated ‘content farms’. The Chatbots churn out content relating to politics, health, environment, finance and technology at a “high volume”, researchers at Newsguard found, providing rapid turnover of material saturated with adverts for profit and promotion of paid content.

“Some publish hundreds of articles a day,” Newsguard’s McKenzie Sadeghi and Lorenzo Arvanitis said. “Some of the content advances false narratives. Nearly all of the content features bland language and repetitive phrases, hallmarks of artificial intelligence.”

It sounds very familiar doesn’t it? Last week we reported correspondence from our Minister of Statistics Dr. Deborah Russell MP in which she downplayed the significance of rising excess deaths in New Zealand. This appeared to be the result of misinformed policy rather than real statistics. Does the New Zealand government, in line with the UK, wish to hide Covid vaccine adverse effect statistics from the public until it becomes a matter of distant history? You tell me.

Behind the avalanche of publicity and manipulation, is something that really is very concerning and at the same time is hard to identify and pin down. If you study history, new elites emerge from time to time who seize power and influence based on faulty concepts, like for example the notion of Aryan supremacy.

There is now an emerging global lobby controlled by the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical professions who have decided that beneficiencies of their exotic procedures and drugs are an elite who alone deserve higher status and protections in society. This is a really dangerous idea creeping up on us. Complacency on our part will only allow it to grow unchecked.

Should We Be Protesting on the Streets?

Rightly, people feel strongly, but returning to the original question, should we be protesting on the streets?

In fact, both the vaccinated and unvaccinated have been injured by government policy and experimental biotechnology. Even the pro-vaccine, pro-zoonotic origin NY Times has conceded that evidence is mounting that Covid came from a lab leak. We have a common cause.

It would certainly suit those who wish the pandemic gravy train and the biotech boom to continue, if the population were to remain polarised and the adverse effects hidden. At this time, it is my belief that launching ad hominem attacks, participating in lawful protests or expressing violent sentiments (never a good idea) will simply play into the hands of those from the media, corporates, medical professions and governments who are hoping that public concern can continue to be managed, marginalised and cancelled.

But this doesn’t mean remaining silent, we should be raising our voices and using our pens. I do believe we should always talk rationally and factually about issues that matter. This is an election year, where there is a higher chance of being heard. We can talk to candidates and demand answers, or even become candidates. In an election year, politicians know that all votes will matter. We can raise a voice of reasoned intelligence, express ourselves calmly, cite research, and send letters to our politicians. Politicians cannot find papers to back their views. Published research is now firmly on our side of the debate. Our points are not dismissible.

Now more than ever, please join me in writing and speaking. A big thank you to those thousands who are already doing so. Again and again, I come back to ‘knowledge matters’. It might still be possible to nip dictatorial control in the bud before it gains more traction.

More Critical Evidence of Increased Vaccine-induced Strokes and Deaths

Ardern’s government had an emotional response to the crisis and a mistaken understanding of science, which led to multiple vaccine-induced deaths.

It requires a deep dive into published scientific literature to assess why scientific opinion about Covid vaccines is still polarised, despite the growing evidence of serious harm. Bear with me while we enquire how this happened with reference to an exemplar condition—stroke.

The leaked Wellington Region health data shows that the incidence of strokes requiring hospitalisation in 2023 was up by 25% on pre-pandemic levels. These rises in stroke incidence began in 2021, before the arrival of Covid in New Zealand, but after the vaccine rollout began. Despite this, published scientific papers continue to point to Covid-19 infection as the sole source of increased stroke incidence, in some cases, as in this paper, not even mentioning a possible role of Covid vaccination.

Accordingly, New Zealand Medsafe has been able to continue to maintain there have been only two incidences of vaccine induced deaths; allowing Ardern, Hipkins, Bloomfield, and others to cling to the fiction that Covid vaccination is safe.

Are Young Adults Dying Following Covid Vaccination a New Source of Viable Organs?

A pre-pandemic 2016 paper found that victims of fatal strokes are generally robust sources for organ transplant donation, especially if they are younger in age. The one exception was the need for caution with livers transplanted from those dying as a result of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) whose recipients suffered poorer survival outcomes.

This paper published in April 2023, describes a single case of a person who suffered a stroke in October 2021 caused by Covid vaccination whose organs were harvested for transplant. The paper notes in passing that:

“Thrombosis combined with thrombocytopenia generally occurs in the first month following vaccination and can lead to fatal outcomes, even in young, previously healthy individuals. These young adults ultimately may become solid organ donors.”

In other words, young adults are dying following Covid vaccination in sufficient numbers to be appreciated by transplant surgeons as a new source of viable organs. In this single case, two harvested kidneys are still functioning well for the recipients. The authors leap from the one case study to a general conclusion:

“Kidney allografts transplanted from vaccine-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia donors can have a good overall function with favorable outcomes”

September 2022 paper reports on kidney transplants from 16 (yes, 16) victims of Covid vaccine-induced Immune Thrombocytopenia and Thrombosis (VITT) to 30 organ recipients in the UK. 5 of the recipients (17%) had concerning test results following surgery and 2 of them lost the graft. The authors conclude “The involvement of VITT could not be completely excluded in one of these cases.” They go on to describe these outcomes as favourable (???).

This paper published in August 2022 studying four successful transplants from a single deceased donor following VITT, notes:

“There are increasing reports of thrombotic complications with various COVID-19 vaccines such as the Pfizer–BioNTech mRNA, Moderna mRNA, AstraZeneca Oxford (serum institute), and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccines.”

Kidney Transplantation From Deceased Donors With Vaccine-induced Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia: Definitely Feasible and Safe

This paper from Italy reports two cases of vaccine-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia (VITT) and subsequent successful transplants, but this letter to the editor of the American Journal of Transplantation in July 2021 presents a far more concerning picture. Of 13 consented deceased donors likely to have died from VITT, 10 actually donated 27 organs in total. 3 of these organs subsequently failed, 2 had impaired function, and one patient died of a cardiac arrest. In total there were seven major thrombotic or hemorrhagic postoperative complications among 6 recipients (22%) within 9 days of transplant.

The authors concluded that the potential risks of transplanting organs from donors with VITT are twofold. First, early major thrombosis or clinically significant bleeding. Second, possible transmission of pathogenic lymphocytes (anti-PF4), characteristic of blood clotting associated with strokes.

In other words, VITT deceased donors may somehow pass on aspects of their vaccine-induced fatal illness to transplant organ recipients.

This additional case report presents photographic evidence of a kidney from a VITT victim in preparation for transplant showing clear evidence of tissue death and bleeding in the kidney that may be associated with the vaccine induced injury that caused a stroke that was actually concentrated in a completely different part of the physiology.

Transplant Surgeons Are Very Excited to Have More Available Young Donors

You are probably beginning to get the picture aren’t you? Transplant surgeons are very excited to have more available young donors, they announce that the use of organs from VITT is probably viable based on some case studies with very mixed results, but completely fail to comment on the significance of the increased number of cases of vaccine induced death. Incredibly, our government insists only two people have died as a result of Covid vaccination.

Transplant surgeons are narrowly focused on their discipline. Despite being aware of increases in Covid vaccine induced death, they wrote papers which failed to sound the alarm. But it is worse than that, medical authorities, the people who collate statistics of hospitalisation and death, failed to communicate to medical personnel and specialists in disparate fields that there were many categories of vaccine-induced illness, including not only strokes, but also cardiac disease, kidney disease, reproductive disease, cancer and neurological disease.

Now imagine yourself in the position of ED doctors, nurses, GPs, specialists and other medical professionals. Like the transplant surgeons, they almost certainly did see an uptick in specific conditions they were personally treating, but they were rushed off their feet as usual helping patients and were never given information about the big picture by those with access to the summary hospitalisation statistics. Instead, they were repeatedly told the novel biotech vaccines were safe and effective beyond any doubt.

Questioning Vaccine Safety a One-Way Ticket to De-registration

Unbelievably, they were given to understand that questioning vaccine safety was disinformation and therefore a one way ticket to de-registration, loss of employment, income, and career prospects. None but the most principled and well informed, would have gone down that route.

There were other reasons why alarm bells never rang. Doctors are trained to look for specific conditions and offer treatment accordingly. The idea that a vaccine might lead to a general collapse in immune system function giving rise to a wide range of conditions probably never would have occurred to most busy frontline staff. They wouldn’t have connected the dots.

In 1972 I attended a conference at Kingston University in Canada at which Hans Seyle, the inventor of the modern concept of stress spoke. Dr. Seyle explained that stress was the non-specific or general response of the physiology to any strain placed upon it. This illustrated how psychological or physical pressure or overload could evoke general deficits in health. This and other research has led to an understanding that cells network together to maintain health on multiple fronts. In fact, trillions of coordinated biochemical actions are instituted by the body everyday to stave off threats to its health.

Seyle recounted that he invented the concept of stress when he noticed that sick people he treated had something in common—they all looked ill. They were suffering from multiple symptomatology with a single cause—stress.

mRNA vaccines breach the cell membrane in millions if not billions of cells. They effectively reprogram and retask cells. Each cell is a network member. Anyone familiar with network theory will realise that Covid vaccines could degrade the network efficiency of the whole physiology and its immune response.

We are suggesting here a generalised response to Covid vaccines that might leave the door open for multiple vulnerabilities to develop unchecked. In other words, a general mRNA vaccine syndrome characterised by a number of conventional diagnoses appearing widely distributed in the population. This is exactly apparent in the leaked Wellington Region health data—greatly elevated levels of cardiac problems, kidney disease, strokes, reproductive issues, and cancers. Individual published studies we have discussed at the Hatchard Report also include neurological conditions.

Leaked Data Supported by Some Medical Professionals

Since first releasing the leaked data a week ago, I have heard from a number of practising health professionals. Their reports include descriptions of unprecedented increases in the incidence of rare conditions that they would not normally see including cancers.

There are also reports of test result scores that are off the chart, for example, D-dimer scores in the 20,000 to 30,000 range. D-dimer tests are designed to monitor the formation of blood clots associated with deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and stroke. All conditions whose incidence is increasing. It is notable that the leaked Wellington Region health data reports around 4% of D-dimer test results for both men and women are registering at elevated levels.

Most health professionals and the public are still being left in the dark as far as the overall data picture is concerned. When you hear politicians like Ardern and Hancock calling for more censorship of discussion, it has to ring alarm bells. Politically controlled censorship of health data availability is entirely inappropriate and without historical precedent. The history of science shows that knowledge and understanding progresses through rational debate. Often the final outcome of scientific debate might be radically different from the first theories advanced.

Francis Bacon (1561 – 1626) is often termed the father of empiricism. He argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based upon inductive reasoning and careful observation of events in nature. His ideas contributed to the emergence of the scientific method. He wrote:

“Reading maketh a full man; conference [debate] a ready man; and writing an exact man.”

Ardern, Hipkins, Bloomfield, and Hancock would do well to revise their insistence that people forsake independent investigation or comment, and rely on the government alone for information. Such an approach doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

For More Than Three Years We Have Been Living Through a Time of Crisis

During such periods in human history, people have an emotional need to adhere to a moral stance and ensure that others also follow, but it is also the case that crises are usually accompanied by a confusion of misinformation.

In line with her crusading pandemic policies, Jacinda Ardern has been appointed (no longer online: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jacinda-ardern-announces-new-role-with-harvard-university/) to three tech-governance leadership fellowships at Harvard University. Ardern will be lecturing students and studying ways to alter content standards and platform accountability for extremist content online.

Possibly she would approve of the agenda of UK MP Matt Hancock, formerly the public face of the Covid pandemic, who has supported an amendment to legislation that would prioritise censorship of statements questioning vaccine safety and make them a criminal offence

Both Ardern and Hancock believe that we (the public) have not learned lessons from the last two years, where, according to them, health misinformation had a devastating impact. Notably, Hancock has blocked any comments on his Twitter post—an indication of what might be in store for us all.

Government Policies Are the Real Drivers of Health Misinformation

The revelations of widespread ill health contained in the Wellington Region data leak demonstrate how the reverse is true. Government policies restricting access to health data and suppressing open debate are the real drivers of health misinformation and poor pandemic health outcomes.

As we revealed in our recent release at the Hatchard Report “NZ Government Formulated Policy Contrary to Evidence They Had on Their Own Computers. Why?”, early evidence of severe Covid vaccine harm in 2021 prior to the arrival of Covid was ignored. A range of serious illnesses including heart attacks, myocarditis, and acute kidney injury led to greatly elevated hospitalisation rates. It is apparent that only people occupying senior positions in the health service or government like Dr. Ashley Bloomfield, who worked closely with Ardern, had access to this data, but they kept the information completely out of public view. Why?

It seems that Ardern’s all consuming dedication to Covid vaccination arose under a quasi scientific and political umbrella that had an international dimension of interference and control. At the time, Covid vaccination was presented as not just the best option, but the only way to avoid a health catastrophe. We now know that this was highly misleading. mRNA vaccination was not safe and effective, nor did it avert a health catastrophe, but Ardern continues to advise us that it was the best choice.

Vaccine Adverse Effects Officially Labelled as a Conspiracy Theory

In contrast, there were highly qualified researchers and doctors on the international stage like Mike Yeadon, formally a vice president at a Pfizer research division, Dr. Robert Malone, who did early work on mRNA technology development, and many others who were warning of potentially serious outcomes of the new vaccines, such as cancer and immune dysfunction.

However, pharmaceutical interests, science publications, governments, and medical authorities moved rapidly to cancel these voices and sideline them as attention-seeking conspiracy theorists. Here in New Zealand, vaccine adverse effects were officially labelled as a conspiracy theory. To this day, Medsafe has only admitted that two fatalities have been caused by mRNA vaccination out of hundreds of deaths reported proximate to vaccination. And not only that, unprecedented rates of excess all-cause mortality is predominantly affecting the vaccinated.

The risk of vaccine-induced death is real and by now well documented as the sequence of transplant publications and Wellington Region health data show. There are a plethora of other studies linked in previous Hatchard Report articles. I realise it is hard to come to terms with an increased risk of death and possibly easier to ignore the personal implications, but the need to halt further Covid vaccination programs is surely evident.

Hoping That the Problem Will Dissipate or Go Away is Not a Rational Response

Hoping that the problem will dissipate or go away is not a rational response, nor is doubling down on vaccination. Each additional shot increases the risk. This study of health care workers for example found that the bivalent vaccine currently being offered in NZ actually increases the risk of adverse reactions.

mRNA vaccines were initially described as 97% effective. They are now known to reduce Covid infection rates for as few as 1 in 100 recipients. Nor do they stop transmission. It now appears they are associated with multiple serious adverse effects and deaths at rates never observed with traditional vaccines.

It appears the health authorities we were told to trust exclusively were themselves inadvertently spreading misinformation, while many of those being wrongly fact-checked, accused of conspiracy, and cancelled from social media were telling the truth.

Ardern and Hancock were leading figures promoting censorship and guiding public pronouncements of safety. Do you think they deserved the authority they wielded or do you think the Bill of Rights should have taken legal precedence, allowing us freedom of medical choice and information?

Dr. Deborah Russell MP, Responds to the Wellington Region Health Data Leak

One of our subscribers forwarded yesterday’s article “NZ Government Formulated Policy Contrary to Evidence They Had on Their Own Computers. Why?” on the Wellington Region health data leak to their local New Lynn MP Dr. Deborah Russell, Minister for Statistics and Associate Minister for Justice. Surprisingly, he received a very prompt reply.

Dr. Russell cited an opinion piece from Bloomberg (a US magazine, not a scientific publication) in support of her contention that New Zealand has had negative excess mortality for “the last few years”. She suggests that this article illustrates that “the vaccine has not caused deaths and in fact has prevented them”.

The article said no such thing, and I don’t know why Dr. Russell would make the elementary mistake of linking to an article whose main substance appears to run contrary to her assertions.

During the last three years New Zealand has had negative excess mortality in only one year—2020. Covid vaccination was not offered in 2020, and there were very few sporadic cases of Covid infection. Therefore Covid vaccination cannot have had any effect on reducing deaths in 2020. For this obvious reason, the Bloomberg piece does not in fact suggest that vaccination had anything to do with the reduced mortality in 2020. It says that New Zealand’s remote geographic location, border closures, and lockdowns instituted by Jacinda Ardern reduced the incidence of influenza and prevented Covid entering the country. It also notes that these policies had a huge negative impact on New Zealand’s economy.

New Zealand Excess All-cause Mortality is Around 15% Above Historical Trends

In every subsequent year, 2021, 2022, and so far in 2023, New Zealand has had excess all-cause mortality. Recent figures indicate it is running around 15% above historical trends. These figures are consistent with and supported by the leaked hospitalisation data. In the Wellington Region, the number of heart attacks resulting in hospitalisation has increased by 83%. Hospitalisation for myocarditis up by one third (33% increase). Miscarriage, stillbirths, and strokes are all up by a quarter (25% increase). Acute kidney injury (AKI) is up by 40%. The incidence of some cancers is also markedly up.

The social conditions and government pandemic policies applied in 2020 were completely different from those applied in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Conflating the statistics from all four years together in order to come up with some kind of average mortality report card doesn’t make any kind of statistical sense. Moreover, by 2023 it is not disputed by anyone that New Zealand’s health outcomes have declined markedly from historical pre-pandemic levels and crucially are becoming steadily worse. The question we asked is WHY?

Dr. Russell is the Minister of Statistics but chose to bypass answering any of the specific alarming rises in hospital statistics discussed in our articles (see herehere and here). This is disappointing, her Statistics and Justice ministerial portfolios suggest she ought at the very least to investigate and ask questions about unprecedented elevated rates of illness which are overwhelming our health service personnel and degrading the standard of care and health outcomes—both an injustice and a statistical anomaly.

Instead, Dr. Russell launched into an attempt to denigrate my academic qualifications and my right to comment. So this is the kindergarten level game she wants to play. I am surprised she would do so without first communicating with me or checking her facts. She asserted “He claims to have a PhD in Psychology” and said that the awarding institution “is not recognised by the American Psychological Association”.

For the Record

For the record, I have an undergraduate degree in Logic and Theoretical Physics from the University of Sussex. A post graduate diploma in education from Canterbury Teachers College, Christchurch. My MA thesis was in mastery learning in mathematics. I obtained my PhD from Maharishi International University (MIU) founded in 1973 in Fairfield, Iowa, USA. MIU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), the accrediting agency for universities and colleges in the North Central region of the US. The Higher Learning Commission is recognized by the US Department of Education and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

MIU does not currently offer programs in Psychology, I believe it ceased doing so in the early 2000s. It has received specialized accreditation for its business programs through the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE). Its graduate programmes have an outstanding job placement record and personal satisfaction ratings.

Professional associations are not in fact university accreditation bodies as Dr. Russell appears to imply. They can ‘endorse’ particular courses, but the American Psychological Association would not have had any reason to endorse MIU Psychology courses at any time in the past because the courses were never clinical in nature, they are research-based as was my PhD work which used panel regression analysis and time series analysis to analyse social indicators.

Also for the record, I was the keynote speaker at the annual conference of the British Psychological Society on crime in 1996. My research into the effects of meditation on health and well being is published in peer reviewed journals. I have a long standing association with the biotechnology testing and safety industry and was formerly a senior manager at Genetic ID.

You can draw your own conclusions about the efforts of the current Government to deflect any criticism of their ongoing Covid policies. To silence debate, they appear ready to ignore alarming statistics and quash any open discussion or dissenting voices. This is politicking at its worst, seeking to displace rational science with the misinformed and strident demagoguery of parliament. We need to leave this behind.

It is all the more deplorable because people’s health is at stake. The Hatchard Report is asking for a rational debate to address the causes of the health crisis that is sinking our national health service. People who have fallen sick or lost loved ones deserve answers, treatment, and recompense. The health service itself requires emergency support to meet the evolving crisis.

Who Will Step Up to the Plate?

The Minister of Statistics and Associate Minister of Justice responded, but failed to address the key data. The situation requires cool heads and calm minds, people need to step back, avoid personal attacks and political prejudices. The data is too alarming. Don’t reach for an emotional response, reconsider the facts. We all love New Zealand and we are all hoping for the best outcomes for everyone. There is nothing wrong with asking questions and seeking answers. In times of crisis, you have to deal with the information that is in front of you. The leaked Wellington Region health data raises completely new issues to be considered with the utmost attention to detail and the implications for future health policy. It appears clear that the Covid vaccine rollout needs to be paused, pending this investigation.
