What if There Was a Public Debate Based on Covid Science Publishing?

0

This is to introduce my writing to a growing number of people seeking up-to-date information about Covid-19 and mRNA vaccination. I carefully reference my work at HatchardReport.com to published scientific journal papers.

This article is intended to provide an overview of recent concerning developments which have received little mainstream media coverage here in New Zealand and in many other countries.

You are certainly aware that Omicron is still circulating and causing a great many infections, a number of hospitalisations, and some deaths. Governments, educational institutions, and many businesses continue to urge us all to receive Covid booster vaccinations.

Evolutionary Explosion of Omicron Variants

The New York Times is a respected broadsheet newspaper. It maintains a staunchly pro-vaccine stance. On Nov 26, 2022, it published a catch-up article, ‘Happy Birthday, Omicron’ (since the variant is now one year old). The article is written by their well-known science correspondent Carl Zimmer, author of 14 books.

Zimmer interviews numerous researchers working in the field who point out that there has been an evolutionary explosion of Omicron variants. Hundreds are now circulating, which according to virologist Dr. Jesse Bloom, “is making it more challenging for scientists to plan new vaccines and treatments.”

This was not unexpected. Even before the pandemic, it was well known that vaccines which fail to prevent transmission drive variant mutation toward the development of strains resistant to vaccines. See this 2015 paper in Plos Biology, for example: “Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens

The NYT article reports, “In February, Theodora Hatziioannou, a virologist at Rockefeller University in New York, and her colleagues ran an experiment that suggested Omicron was primed for an evolutionary explosion. Dr. Hatziioannou’s team tested Omicron against 40 different antibodies that could still block the variant. They discovered that it was remarkably easy for a few extra mutations to make it resistant to almost all of those antibodies.”

The net result is that even the latest versions of Covid vaccines and treatments are easily evaded by a growing number of variants: “The new mutations are building up quickly, most likely because they are providing the viruses with a big evolutionary edge,” the NYT article reported. “The [viral] evolution that’s happening is the fastest rate it has been up to this point,” Sergei Pond, a virologist at Temple University in Philadelphia, said.

The outcome is something you are probably already aware of through personal experience or through that of your friends. Covid vaccines are not working. Researchers are trying to develop new approaches, but I think you can see that the rate of mutation and adaptation of the Covid-19 virus is likely to outstrip these efforts, as is the case, for example, with other coronaviruses such as the common cold and the flu. Fortunately, Omicron variants are at this stage still relatively mild, but their future trajectory remains uncertain, which is concerning.

Some Covid Response Policies Are Complicating Outcomes

You may not be so aware that in addition to waning in effectiveness, mRNA vaccines can also compromise our immune response. In other words, within a few months, they may leave you more vulnerable to Covid infection—termed negative efficacy. Here is a well referenced article discussing this phenomenon: Negative Efficacy’ Should Have Stopped COVID Vaccine Recommendations in Their Tracks.

Some of you may be thinking that we should be reinstituting a raft of lockdown options, isolation policies, testing, masking rules, and vaccination mandates. Just remember that China has enforced these for the last three years—strict border controls, mandatory vaccination for everyone, stay at home lockdowns policed by troops, masking—zero tolerance. It hasn’t worked. The crushing social effects of lockdowns and the vaccine-escape evolution of the virus have had a combined effect. You must have read in the latest news bulletins that China is relaxing some of its policies in the face of widespread social unrest and increasing viral transmission.

Others have suggested that the unvaccinated are disproportionately using up our health service resources and facilitating viral transmission. This isn’t the case. Hospital admissions for Covid are increasingly dominated by vaccinated individuals. There is a similar trend all over the world in highly vaccinated countries. This is also caused by viral variation in response to high vaccination rates.

In contrast, large studies show that once an unvaccinated person has recovered from an initial Covid infection, they are 97.3% protected from a wide range of variants due to natural immunity—considerably higher even than the combined effect of mRNA vaccination and prior infection. Read this referenced article for a summary.

Accumulating Data on Covid Vaccine Adverse Events is Concerning

You might have heard through media reports and government messaging that mRNA vaccination is safe and that any adverse effects are mild and short lived. Here is a summary of adverse effects that have been reported in the USA to VAERS, their official post-vaccination adverse event reporting system. It is a long and concerning list, but are these conditions really connected to vaccination? Are the record rates of excess mortality in highly vaccinated countries around the world simply connected to Covid infection, but not to vaccination, as, for example, Epidemiologist Michael Baker is suggesting in media interviews? His assertion is, in fact, unverified for a simple reason. Currently, vaccination status is not being recorded on death certificates; without this information, fully reliable conclusions cannot be reached.

I want you to be aware that an answer to this causal question can only be determined by careful investigation using appropriate scientific methods and reliable data sources. I recently wrote to Ministers and MPs from all parties on this subject and the Chief Coroner and Chief Commissioner of Police. The letters posed valid scientific questions and questions about government policy that remain unanswered.

Is It Even Necessary to Take a Polarised Position on the Debate?

Good question. Recently published research findings have found that it is highly likely that Covid-19 originated as a result of a lab leak. Read here for the details. As a result, it is clear that the adverse outcomes of both Covid infection and mRNA vaccination are caused by biotechnology experimentation. So both sides of the Covid/mRNA vaccination debate should take a measure of common cause. The pandemic would never have happened without risky biotech experiments creating new viruses.

Gene editing is known to induce unexpected and unwanted alterations in physiological biomolecular processes. Genetic edits can have permanent negative impacts incapable of being recalled. Risky gain of function experiments to create novel viral strains are still being carried out around the world in unsafe laboratory conditions. They need to be stopped. I discuss the implications on my website GLOBE.GLOBAL.

Shouldn’t We Trust Our Government and Their Highly Qualified Advisors?

There are over half a million scientific papers published on Covid-19. I can tell you from personal experience that keeping up with these is a full-time job that also requires a competent team. Without constant vigilance, it is easy to fall behind. I think you will agree that the findings reported in the New York Times article on Omicron should be informing government policy and modifying expectations. They are not.

Even in scientific circles, there is resistance to change despite new evidence coming to light. It is an unfortunate psychological characteristic that some people will go to great lengths to avoid acknowledging mistakes or misjudgements. In his famous and influential book “Structure of Scientific Revolutions” Thomas Kuhn discusses this at length.

It is clear that certain overseas pharmaceutical companies have profited greatly from the pandemic. Huge profits may be a corrupting factor, but surely here in New Zealand, we are relatively free of such motivations?

We have to face the sad fact that people’s motivations are not always what they seem. There is a documentary currently on Netflix, “the Texas Killing Fields.” I don’t recommend it, and it is not for the faint hearted. There were, over a period of decades, three serial killers independently at work in a small area of Texas. For years the police fobbed off distraught parents with suggestions that these were just cases of runaways. 30 bodies of girls and women have since been found, and more are still missing.

Even when bodies were first found, the police were reluctant to accept that these were the result of murders. The cause of death of one woman whose body was found hidden under a couch at the side of the road was recorded as undetermined. Much later, the body was exhumed, and a forensic anthropologist found conclusive evidence of blunt force trauma, but the original medical examiner destroyed early damning photographic evidence of homicide to protect his medical reputation. I am writing this to explain that some people will go to great lengths to protect their professional reputations, even if it means justice is not served or others are harmed.

Evidence of harm from Covid-19 vaccination is accumulating, as is evidence that mRNA vaccines don’t prevent Covid infection and do actually increase vulnerability to Covid over the longer term. But this is having little impact on government policy. There are a lot of reputations at stake, both political and professional. This is quite a significant factor to consider.

The government has consistently encouraged people not to do their own research or question government policy—terming themselves ‘one source of truth’. At this stage in the rapidly changing Covid science publishing landscape, this is counter productive, as the NYT article amply illustrates. I hope you will agree that the ‘one source of truth’ doctrine is inherently suspect and easily subject to abuse.

However, I agree there is much offered via the internet and social media that is unreliable and often designed to subtly (or not so subtly) influence our opinions, but this is not a reason for severely limiting available information to government sources. A policy that is characteristic of repressive regimes. Instead, it should be a reminder to be cautious and discriminating.

Adding the term “scholarly articles” to any Google or Duckduckgo searches certainly filters out a great deal of unreliable content. However, given the volume of information involved, selective bias can creep in. Therefore moderated public debates, where experts and policy can be challenged, are essential to moving our understanding forward safely. I find the lack of public debate in mainstream media very concerning. It is anti-science and verges on criminal negligence. Currently, we are being left with a very one-sided picture which in many respects is out of date and out of step with the trend of current Covid science journal publishing and case data. The uncertain trajectory of Covid means that changes have to be made to enable the necessary investigation and discussion to take place more openly.

I hope that those reading this article find it a useful contribution that could broaden everyone’s view. I encourage you to forward it widely to your friends and colleagues. Debate and referenced material can only help us to arrive at reliable conclusions.

Unfounded Prejudice is Gripping the Nation. Misleading Government Publicity is to Blame

Baby Will: I am not sure how much more I can add to the debate about the case of baby Will except to say that the situation has turned nasty.

Here are two sincere parents who have already been traumatised by the heart condition of their four month old which necessitates an operation. They would like unvaccinated blood to be used, and they arranged for matching donors.

But the surgeon and the New Zealand health system have refused this easy option. Instead, they decided to go for the jugular. They are seeking custody of the child to enforce the use of blood from the public blood bank. They are refusing to admit that studies finding persistence of spike protein indicate any risk. An extreme position. It is of note, as we have previously written that even pro-vaccine advocates overseas are admitting the existence of novel blood clots, (whilst arguing implausibly that their causes are unknown).

Unvaccinated to Exclusively and Compulsorily Receive Vaccinated Blood Transfusions

For two years now, vaccine advocates have been asking for separation between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Expressing a deep (yet unfounded) fear of the unvaccinated. Even seeking to avoid breathing the same air. This has been encouraged by government publicity. Now they want the unvaccinated to exclusively and compulsorily receive vaccinated blood transfusions.

Both national dailies have decided to demonise the parents, abandoning all semblance of humane compassion. There can’t be any greater condemnation of the effect of vaccination. Apparently, it makes people angry and uncaring.

At a time when the parents deserve understanding and support, all semblance of recognition of the provision of medical choice in the New Zealand Bill of Rights has been abandoned. Medical choice is off the table and it is open season for vicious attacks on the unvaccinated.

The uneducated hysteria involved is frankly frightening. Instead of listening to government inspired rants, read the studies published in international journals. There is a gulf widening between government messaging and the content of Covid science journal publishing. mRNA vaccination poses definable and significant risks for health. These are not small. To people keeping up with the science, they are very concerning.

Baby Will has a heart condition. It is admitted by our government that heart inflammation—myopericarditis—is a risk of vaccination. It is admitted that some studies indicate persistence of spike protein in the blood. So why on earth would the government insist there is no risk? This is further evidence of a bunker mentality and a hint of madness.

The Destructive Immorality, Curated Ignorance, and Venal Greed Surrounding Biotechnology

0

Florida authorities have ceased offering mRNA vaccines to young males aged 18-39, citing the risk of myocarditis. A few countries, notably in Scandinavia, have clarified their pre-vaccination advice to young men and urged a degree of caution. Florida has copped a lot of flack over its precautionary decision, and the CDC is counter-advising everyone to go ahead and boost regardless.

The risk of myocarditis for women has been found to be only slightly less (and curiously, in at least one study higher). However, women are still being advised in most jurisdictions they should take the jab—sure, it’s safe for women, it must be. Women also face additional risks. Risks connected to fertilitypregnancystillbirth, and breastfeeding (see here also). Indicative data on these appears to have been brushed over, hidden, or simply ignored.

In fact, reliable V-safe data shows that more women than men reported injuries after Covid vaccination. Women seem to have more difficulty persuading medical officials to take their issues seriously.

This points to lopsided ideas about risk. Are women’s lives perceived to be worth less? The misogyny involved might have escaped your notice until now, but questions about the morality of biotech medical risk assessment, in general, have probably occupied your thoughts from time to time during the pandemic.

I’m not going to use the term myocarditis, preferring now to say it how it is—heart disease—with all the normally associated life-shortening risks and the requirement for a lifetime of caution, moderation, monitoring, and treatment. The post-vaccination risk of developing heart disease is not just very high; it is unprecedented. People are falling ill and dropping dead because of it in numbers never seen before, including women.

Covid Hysteria is Being Used as an Antidote to Protest

To counter voices urging caution, the pharmaceutical industry, the medical establishment, governments, and MSM have curated Covid hysteria—irrational fear of Covid. Now that the data is becoming even more clear about the huge risks of the jab, they can’t stop, nor apparently does hardly anyone want to. It is difficult to escape the notion that there is a bunker mentality and a tinge of madness involved.

Last Friday, Purolator, the Canadian courier system 91% owned by Canada Post, terminated all its unvaccinated employees. Trudeau meanwhile, like Ardern feels that “using protest to demand changes to public policy is something I think worrysome”. In Canada, being concerned that you have been fired for avoiding a potentially life-threatening medical intervention is good cause for Trudeau to label you “mysogenist and racist”; asking why “do we tolerate these people?” Short answer: they don’t tolerate the unvaccinated in Canada, they persecute them.

Is Biotechnology Worth All the Sudden Unexpected Deaths?

You don’t need me to answer this silly question, but it does actually require some thought to find out why we need to ask it. Have you noticed that aside from being dangerous and ineffective, biotechnology is incredibly expensive?

Most highly vaccinated nations are going broke. In the UK, incredibly rich Rishi Sunak has raised the pension age to 68 and reinstituted austerity into the foreseeable future. Here in NZ, the pandemic has cost $75 billion, which is about twice the annual health budget of our little island nation. It is all printed or borrowed money, and the piper will have to be paid sooner or later.

This giant expenditure has had no real measurable results except misery, poverty, and continuing spread of ill health. Health systems around the world are collapsing under the weight of untreated patients. All-cause mortality is at record levels.

Contrast this with the cost of natural immunity, it’s free, and it works. Get a bit of exposure to sunshine, eat healthily, exercise regularly, and avoid unhealthy habits like smoking, excess hard fats, ultra-processed foods, and fizzy drinks. Studies show that your risk of serious Covid illness will fall by 70%.

Biotech Foods Pose Risks to Health and the Environment Despite Claims to the Contrary

Don’t be taken in by the wave of synthetic foods and additives appearing on supermarket shelves. Two weeks ago, the FDA declared lab-grown chicken meat developed by Berkeley, California-based food-tech firm Upside Foods as safe for human consumption. The associated commercial hype is promising an abundant, safe, tasty alternative to meat, but the reality is a world away.

So far, Upside Foods, which used to be called Memphis Meats, has attracted a billion dollars of investment and interest from figures and entities such as Cargill, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Kimbal Musk, brother of Elon Musk and co-founder of The Kitchen, “a growing family of businesses that pursues an America where everyone has access to real food,” and the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Synthetic meat is not going to come cheap. Its production in giant bioreactors is energy hungry (nor is it going to reduce greenhouse gases). The process of cloning meat involves using a mixture of bovine serum (most likely from fetal calves found in cows being slaughtered) and enzymes from the pancreas and intestines of animals. The process also uses engineered genes to promote continuous growth of the cells. This is disturbing in that it is likely that the genes being manipulated can promote cancers.

Bioreactors used to make synthetic foods typically suffer from accumulation of toxic byproducts. Eventually, the leftover toxic genetic sludge has to be dumped somewhere.

Nature Really Does Know How to Organise Better Than Man

Give real chickens a go. They’re inexpensive, and they work. Chickens convert sunlight into meat and eggs very efficiently. You don’t need to be a highly-paid Ph.D. in biotechnology or own a giant bioreactor. A homemade coup and run in your backyard is sufficient. Your power bill will remain the same. Chickens reproduce without the need for genetic accelerants. Their waste doesn’t pose a problem for the environment, and it will fertilise your garden. Ditto for vegetables.

Yet Upside Foods will have you think otherwise. They are happy to play upon ignorance and prejudice. Before you know it, they will have you eating a questionable meat substitute while thinking you are saving the world. You are not, you are harming it and mortgaging your future, and that of your children.

The Reality of Biotechnology is a Lot Different, It’s Frightening

All over the world, the Covid Industrial Complex has been hiding adverse reactions, reaping huge profits, and covering its tracks whilst spinning lies about a non-existent bright future:

The authoritative UK Daily Telegraph leads with “ Top virologists betrayed science with their Covid lab leak cover-up.” Yet gain of function experimentation which caused the pandemic is ongoing.

In a seven-hour sealed deposition and a farewell address from the White House, on the eve of his retirement, Dr. Fauci was still insisting that mRNA vaccines stop the spread of coronavirus and that lockdowns really work.

Widespread public protests in China indicate that mandated jabs plus lockdowns are a road to social deprivation and the consequent unprecedented civil unrest.

Pandemic policy has left us bankrupt, anxious, and controlled by a medical/pharmaceutical elite. Human life has been devalued. Despite the almost universal vaccination, we are still suffering from waves of Covid illness with no end in sight. There is no wayback machine that comes with biotechnology.

Why So Many People Are Falling Ill and Dying Suddenly and What We Can Do About It?

0

The answer is really quite simple. A year ago, I wrote about constitutional change, thinking naively that it presented a road ahead to protect us from ill-considered and unfair mandates. A safeguard that would protect our natural human rights. I have changed my opinion completely. You will, too, if you consider what we know about the basic equations of life and how the pandemic has destructively interfered with them.

The second law of thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. In simple terms, this implies that entropy or disorder is always increasing in the universe. Like a fire burning in your front room, it is gradually running out of fuel.

There is one exception to this: living systems. Living systems are swimming against the current; they are increasing in order, they are evolving. This area is the subject of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The remarkable molecule that orchestrates this miracle is DNA. DNA is found in every living cell, managing the trillions of actions that maintain life.

If you uncoil each strand of DNA in a cell and place them end to end, they would be 2 metres long. This might sound deceptively manageable, but we have trillions of cells and therefore a lot of DNA. Each DNA molecule contains 204 billion atoms. Stretch out all your DNA, and the resulting strand would be 107 billion kilometres long—about the same as 150,000 round trips to the Moon.

DNA is so vital to life that it is highly protected. Our human body is designed so that both air and food enter only through the mouth. Food is then filtered by our complex digestive system whose biomolecular processes transform our natural food (which is also based on DNA), into usable nutrients and building blocks through a myriad of steps only completed over the course of a month. Every single atom in the physiology is replaced according to a fixed order every 5 to 10 years. Ensuring our life is constantly being refreshed.

It doesn’t stop there. Each cell is highly protected from degradation, pollution, and the effects of radiation. Firstly by the cell wall which is largely successful in preventing the entry of toxins, pathogens, and pollutants. Deep inside the cell is the nucleus which contains the DNA. This is also highly protected. In each of our 37 trillion cells, there are 70,000 DNA repair jobs that are executed each day, ensuring as far as possible that the structure of DNA is stable and protected from radiation induced mutation.

Life Already Has a Constitution—DNA

There is a grand conclusion here—life already has a constitution, a sort of Cosmic Constitution—our DNA. DNA contains the miracle set of intelligent instructions which ensure that the second law of thermodynamics—the law of universal decay—is not just circumvented, but actually reversed to become a law of evolution. The myriad of living things on earth are guided, protected, and promoted by DNA (I have recently written about evolution, genetics, and the pandemic at length and you can download the paper here).

DNA is not a small collection of ideas such that you might find in the 85,000 words of a typical book or even in the entire collections of large libraries, it contains both sequential instructions and cross referencing between its billions of integrated components. Each gene engages in many collaborative projects with other genes. DNA has also stored the memories of countless microbiological undertakings through millions of years of species evolution which have protected and promoted life on the planet. It really is the Cosmic Constitution of Life with a capital L.

Now Consider What We Are Currently Doing to Ourselves

We have been exposed to novel genetically engineered pathogens, designed through gain of function experiments to make people seriously ill. In response, we are bypassing the natural safeguards of digestion by injecting material directly into the body. This material contains microscopic lipid nanoparticles. Particles that are designed to breach the protective cell wall. It also contains instructions designed to alter the way DNA works and/or expresses itself. Once inside the cell, these are capable of transcribing themselves into our nuclear DNA, corrupting its structure.

Once DNA is corrupted, it loses its incredible ability to overcome the second law of thermodynamics. We become subject to the laws of decay, rapid decay. If you want to know why so many people are becoming ill and dying this is it in a nutshell.

This is not a flight of fancy. The second law of thermodynamics is one of the most highly verified laws known to physics. Similarly, Ilya Prigogine was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1977 for his contributions to nonequilibrium thermodynamics, particularly the theory of dissipative structures which characterise living systems.

Imagine with me for a moment how a few biotechnologists subject to the same human vagaries and frailties as everyone else—mistakes, greed, limited perception of consequences, emotional instability, pride, and so on—are redesigning DNA according to their immature ideas of what life is.

They have no understanding of where or how human consciousness, compassion, and harmony originated. Their ideas about immunity are very mechanical, tentative, and have often been in great error, yet they are going ahead and injecting almost the whole population of the world with experimental biotech concoctions and waiting to see what happens.

Well they are seeing it now—excess deaths on a scale never before seen outside of wartime—but apparently they can’t believe their eyes. So they are looking the other way. I suppose there was an expectation of reward, plaudits, and victory parades. Possibly disappointed but undeterred they are calling for yet more injections. Convinced that they must be right, they keep pressing ahead, editing the very heart of living processes.

The massive public relations onslaught of biotechnology has had its numbing effect. People are falling ill, unable to work, or going to hospital in numbers which are clogging health services. Still many are raising angry voices against those who are unvaccinated because they have been sold a story that they alone are to blame. No government agency is prepared to reveal just how many cancers, cardiac events, hospitalisations, and sudden deaths there are. No government will let slip that they have genetically vaccinated their people to the point that suddenly they might have become detached from the river of evolution and are now subject to universal laws of decay.

Biotechnology experimentation cannot be contained. The effects of genetic editing are highly mobile and can spread without limit, as we have seen during the pandemic. They are passed onto future generations and cannot be recalled.

There is only one sure way out of the pandemic—protect the Cosmic Constitution of life—DNA. Join the campaign for Global Legislation Outlawing Biotechnology Experimentation. Go to GLOBE.GLOBAL for more information.

A Nation of Sheep Will Beget a Government of Wolves

I owe the title of today’s writing to Edward R. Morrow, a revered American journalist who reported the issues of the common folk and championed the need for commonsense in the public interest.

The reserve bank hiked the cash rate by 0.75% this week, which is set to drive up mortgage rates and send many already beleaguered homeowners to their bank manager cap in hand. Default and repossession loom for many next year.

The reserve bank says it is anxious to bring inflation under control. So how does pandemic inflation work, and will high interest rates solve the problem?

It certainly is Black Friday here in New Zealand. Supermarket shoppers are in a black mood for good reason. In my local Countdown, yesterday, tomatoes were $23.60 a kilo, and a leg of lamb was $23.50 a kilo. In contrast, at Sainsbury in the UK, tomatoes were at just NZ$4.26 a kilo, and New Zealand lamb was on special at $13.00 a kilo (including the cost of shipping it halfway around the world). UK shoppers are complaining that the cost of food has rocketed; apparently, they don’t know the meaning of it.

It doesn’t stop there; petrol retailers in New Zealand put up prices the minute they go up overseas but don’t put them down promptly when international prices fall. Pump costs in the US have fallen steadily by a total of 27% since 10 June, but you tell me: have they fallen appreciably here?

There is a well founded suspicion that instead of playing the ‘inflation’ card, the reserve bank should be asking the ‘profiteering’ question. But here’s the rub, in my local mom-and-pop health food store, tomatoes were at an almost affordable $10.90 a kilo. So how are supermarkets able to charge so much?

They have a virtual monopoly and an addiction to profit. Back in March, despite admitting that they were making $430 million in excess profits, the government’s Commerce Commission said it would be too hard to rein in our supermarket duopoly.

So the government has put food costs in the too-hard basket and decided to squeeze homeowners out of their last pennies instead.

So Where is the Team of Five Million Now?

The pandemic did put a strain on global supply chains, but that has virtually evaporated now. However, some of our biggest retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers remain determined to hang on to excessive profits. Our New Zealand energy firms posted an increased profit of 21% in 2021, with no change on the horizon in 2022. Overseas oil and gas firms are posting record profits, and calls for windfall taxes have increased. So why aren’t we hearing similar noises from our government?

It is too hard, silly. There are so many international conferences to attend and discuss the new world order, when in fact, what they are actually delivering is local disorder by default. The current romantic involvement of the government is with big money, big technology, big ideas, and it is all happening in the unregulated global space outside of our national borders where anything goes. A sort of wild west of daylight robbery.

How does that work? Well, you have to put on your efficiency cap. We currently export 80% of our timber logs to China. Up here in Northland, we used to have a Carters wood mill turning out 2 by 4s for the local building industry. It was closed, and manufacturing was centralised somewhere in the name of efficiency. In other words, making it all in one place is slightly cheaper. Meanwhile, the New Zealand building industry is experiencing a shortage of lumber and record prices. It is not expected to end anytime soon. We have a shortage of milling capacity. Does that make any kind of economic sense?

Apparently, it does to the captains of industry who have shut down milling capacity rather than expanded it but not to you and me. The government, meanwhile, not content with the rising cost of house construction, is responding by raising interest rates that directly affect homeowners, the same ones struggling with rising construction costs and record supermarket prices. It is a triple whammy. Hurrah!

A visit to the local supermarket has become a sort of dreary, joyless, grey coloured outing, where we panic at the cost of items we used to love and add to our trolleys with satisfaction. Just reflect that our great leaders might have become a little clueless, distracted, and timid. They have been seduced by the great global reset and have taken their eye off the local scene. They are busy adopting face recognition and digital currencies. And, of course, there might also be other factors at work that you are not allowed to mention on FB.

When an Increasingly Small Circle of Corporations Can Fix the Prices of a Growing Number of Necessities, It’s Called a Monopoly.

Don’t think that nothing can be done, history teaches us that at some point governments have to step in with antitrust regulations and laws which break up local monopolies. Government should similarly organise to curb the pervasive influence of international monopolies. This will take clear thinking and analysis. Overseas suppliers will not always have our interests at heart. Measures need to be put in place to ensure local manufacturing self sufficiency is not completely depleted.

Government vision is out of focus. Governments all over the world have begun to see themselves as players on the global stage who are thinking the big thoughts, while local electorates are lesser folk with lesser concerns who don’t really matter.

So Who is to Blame?

Not surprisingly, in the words of that old traditional song:

“It’s the same the whole world over, It’s the poor what gets the blame, While the rich gets all the pleasure, Ain’t it a blooming shame.”

Our foreign-owned banks are all set to make a record annual profit of $10 billion, but according to a Newsroom podcast with John Kensington, head of banking and finance at KPMG: “The main thing has been New Zealanders’ love affair with property”. Translation: we are foolish, and the banks blameless.

In other words, we, the people, have had an absurd and ridiculous longstanding expectation of a leak-free roof over our heads. The banks meanwhile prudently expected that the pandemic would impact on our capacity to repay home loans (it didn’t) and accordingly supercharged profits to offset their non-existent losses.

In summary, inflation appears to have a certain big picture inevitability to it that has little in reality to do with you and me, who, as always, simply need a home, health, and food on the table. Am I right?

Nations rise and fall on the back of the health, innovation, well being, education, and happiness of their populations. Let that slip with a helpless gesture and a ‘what can we do?’ lament, as is happening now not just here but elsewhere also, then we have lost the plot and mortgaged our future. Edward R. Morrow would not have been impressed. He would have spoken up. So should we. I am planting tomatoes.

Epidemiologist Michael Baker is Doing His Best to Make Sure We Become a Real Hobbit Nation

0

As the published Covid science narrative evolves overseas, Professor Baker is doing his best to prop it up here with his own special brand of magic beans.

At this point in time, the research findings of harm from the Pfizer vaccine have become overwhelming, but Baker is sticking closely to the safe and effective fantasy.

Even the most timid amongst us, fearful of visiting the internet, might have noticed that the vaccine doesn’t actually work, but Baker, in a kid gloves interview with Sean Plunket of The Platform, reassured us all that the mRNA biotech vaccine was still protecting us from serious illness and death. Is this misleading us?

The incredibly pro-vaccine Washington Post varies from Baker. It has now finally stopped holding the line. It headlines with “It’s no longer a pandemic of the unvaccinated”. It reports that even the US CDC, with a lack of a centralised health system and with its penchant for figures that exaggerate vaccine effectiveness, are roughly estimating that 58% of Americans who died from Covid in August are vaccinated. So the vaccinated are dying of Covid contrary to the Baker doctrine. Unbelievably, like Baker, the Post thinks this means we need more vaccines???

The UK ONS, who, unlike the CDC, are considered to compile accurate figures which cover countrywide Covid stats, is painting a much bleaker picture.

In 2022 there have been 41,000 excess all-cause deaths since April 1st. No official statement has endorsed any cause, but the figures are telling. Mortality per 100,000 pop. has been lowest among the unvaccinated for every month in 2022 that ONS figures are currently available (see chart). The implication is obvious.

Raw figures released by the New Zealand Ministry of Health paint a picture of deaths that is consistent with the US and UK figures; the boosted are disproportionately affected by Covid deaths (see chart), but Baker has chosen to pass over these figures.

The basis for Baker’s omission of this raw data, is a mysterious and unexplained adjustment (???) that the Ministry of Health have applied to these figures since July. Baker and the Ministry of Health claim that the booster shots protect you from serious illness and death, but the actual basis of this assertion appears to be nothing other than the medical establishment believing thoroughly in Covid vaccination—it couldn’t be otherwise.

Baker also claims that the scientific evidence about Covid vaccination from leading journals investigating cohorts of millions of people is overwhelming. I agree it is, but not in the way he suggests. A recently published study in the Lancet of 30 million people has found that the elderly, the immunologically compromised, and those with comorbidities remain at risk of serious illness and death despite being boosted. This study terminates at 28 Feb 2022, thereby it avoids the truly terrifying vulnerability that appears in the all-cause UK death statistics from that date onwards, but the results reported by the Lancet are still very concerning.

The study shows that any small protective effect that Covid vaccination offers wear off rapidly over 9-10 weeks. Other studies in prestigious journals referenced in the paper show it then enters negative territory by four months. In other words, you rapidly end up more vulnerable to Covid infection than before, and incidentally, as the ONS figures strongly suggest, you are then likely to be more vulnerable to death from any cause. The conclusion invariably reached in MSM and among experts—that this shows we need more vaccination—has come to have a distinctly hollow ring about it. Are we now to be vaccinated every two months?

Because the authors of the huge Lancet study are actually responding to a pro-vaccine government committee, they have to nuance their advice and concerns saying for example:

Our findings indicate a range of demographic and clinical factors associated with increased clinical risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes despite booster vaccination and raise questions regarding future approaches to enhance protection.”

At this stage, the authors admit, these questions remain unanswered. They suggest that more surveillance of data should be undertaken and a range of possible alternative treatments explored. They also suggest that modification of vaccines and other approaches are “unlikely to overcome immune suppression in the most vulnerable groups”.

The subtext of their guarded conclusions is obvious to the skilled reader used to pro-vaccine speak—the Covid vaccine landscape has changed and there are real worries surfacing. Not the least of these is the suspicion that the vaccine itself is compromising immunity and causally complicit in the record levels of excess deaths seen in highly vaccinated countries around the world including New Zealand.

We didn’t have hear any of this from Baker, he left us snug in a soft blanket of reassurance—It is all OK, don’t worry. In the Plunket interview, he was at pains to place great emphasis on the fact that he is an expert, while others like myself are laughable cherry pickers of facts. You decide. If you read my work regularly you will be aware that I reference my writing carefully to published studies.

Baker conceded that everything we know now is going to be proven wrong in the future. Thank you for that. He is hedging his bets. He is not alone. Politifact, one of the internet’s leading fact checkers (???) admits that “embalmers are finding strange clots in jabbed people”, but escapes any meaningful acknowledgement of concern that the vaccine may be causing heart attacks by suggesting that the clots must be due to Covid infection—no credible evidence for this is supplied.

Baker tries to pull the same trick, he suggests that the rash of sudden deaths among all ages is due to undiagnosed (???) Covid infection. In other words, people are catching Covid but they have no symptoms nor a positive test result and they suddenly drop dead because they have weak hearts. Do you believe that? I don’t. It is about as plausible as a suggestion that aliens are running our parliament.

We could laugh Baker off, if it wasn’t for the fact that tragically people are dying and the media including Sean Plunket are still not asking sufficiently probing questions or in most cases any questions. Nor are any debates being arranged. If you trust the media, think again, they are asleep at the wheel or complicit in a coverup. The government plus the loyal opposition meanwhile are sailing on regardless, boosted by a strong following wind. Any concession to the growing tide of concerns would at this stage condemn them to the political wilderness—a pandemic outcome they cannot and will not countenance against all evidence.

Recovered Covid-19 Hospital Patients Found to Have Altered Functional Connectivity in the Brain – Implications for Public Policy

0

The recent confirmation via biomolecular studies that Covid is very highly likely to have resulted from the lab escape of an engineered pathogen, places both Covid and mRNA vaccination on a similarly sinister footing. This release investigates their effect on individual cognitive ability, social conditions, and the implications for public policy.

Covid-19 almost certainly results not solely from a naturally occurring virus known to exist in wild populations, but from a largely secret gain of function experiment designed to radically enhance viral pathogenesis through cutting and pasting of genetic structures and instructions, some natural and some engineered.

Covid vaccines are engineered genetic interventions taking over our human cells and commanding them to produce the same toxic spike protein as the Covid-19 virus and in large quantities.

We are only just beginning to appreciate the risks shared by both.

A study completed in India “Assessing functional connectivity differences and work-related fatigue in surviving COVID-negative patients” has used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the brain and detected cerebro-vascular abnormalities two weeks after recovery from Covid infection and hospital discharge.


Functional connectivity (FC) is a measure of how regions of the brain interact with each other. In the Indian study of university students who had recently been hospitalised with Covid but now tested negative for the virus, subjects showed significant changes in functional connectivity in a number of different sites in the brain when compared to controls who did not have any history of Covid infection. FC changes were noted in areas of the brain associated with:

  • Attention processing
  • Visual processing
  • Cognitive processing
  • Emotional processing
  • Language processing
  • Social cognitive processing
  • Memory

The study was published 1st February 2022 and therefore it is likely that the subjects predominantly had Delta variant infection. In common with many other recent studies, the authors did not report the vaccination status of subjects, a significant deficiency. The students were from the Indian Institute of Technology which currently has a policy to require Covid vaccination. As a result, any contribution of Covid vaccination to outcomes could not be assessed or measured. Given the engineered components of both Covid and mRNA Covid vaccination, more differentiated study design and analysis should have been required.

In western developed nations, the vast majority of populations have been vaccinated, many with repeated boosters. It is essential that future studies always differentiate between outcomes for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated. This should always analyse frequency and type of Covid vaccination

preprint study in March 2022 reported changes to the immune function of glial cells in the brain as a result of mRNA vaccination. Glial cells play a crucial role in supporting brain function. Glial cell impairment may have a role in reducing FC, pointing to possible confounding complications due to mRNA vaccination which should have been discussed and assessed.

Poor Functional Connectivity is Associated With Aging and Cognitive Impairment

Earlier studies, unrelated to Covid, suggest functional impairments in the occipital and parietal lobes such as those found in the Indian study could be associated with:

  • Loss of motivation in day-to-day tasks
  • Mild cognitive impairment
  • Fatigue

In some cases even a single very small brain lesion, as found for example in some epilepsy patients, can cause widespread change in functional connectivity throughout the brain. The Indian authors suspect that FC lesions observed in the Covid patients could be playing a similar role in the development of Long Covid symptoms such as brain fog.

It is significant that lesions which cause dysfunction in the brain (sometimes referred to as ‘functional holes’) have been associated with violent and aggressive behaviour (see here and here). In addition to brain injury and inherited conditions, their origin and effect has been found to be connected with genetic and biomolecular moderators—factors that could be affected by both Covid infection and mRNA vaccination.

The subjects in the Indian study of Covid outcomes following hospitalisation had widely varying FC scores—some were affected more than others. It found that FC patterns in the Covid group were correlated with a self-reported fatigue scale.

Enhanced Structural and Functional Connectivity is Associated With Measures of Intelligence

The human brain is characterized by structural and functional connectivity within and between brain regions. This can be measured in different ways by both fMRI and EEG (electroencephalogram—measurement and fourier analysis of electrical signals in the brain measured on the scalp surface). High EEG connectivity measured by phase and frequency coherence between brain regions has been correlated with:

  • Concept Learning
  • Moral Reasoning
  • IQ
  • Decreased Neuroticism
  • Creativity
  • Neurological Efficiency measured by the H-Reflex

These associations were found among subjects who had practiced meditation regularly for some time and indicated the opposite of reduced cognitive ability associated with increasing age. The findings suggest that meditation may be useful in Long Covid recovery. This should be investigated.

The FC Changes Observed in Recovered Covid Patients Are Consistent With the Effects of Aging

Studies linked here and here have found measures of general functional connectivity decrease with age across a wide range of brain structures and are associated with cognitive impairment.

Classic psychological impairments known to be connected with aging among some individuals include:

  • Fluctuating levels of alertness accompanied by fearful, irritable, and aggressive behaviour
  • Low concentration levels and consequent difficulty taking the decisions necessary for everyday tasks
  • Impaired social functioning and cooperation
  • Clouding of awareness, depression, and loneliness

The psychological effects of Covid infection and vaccination have hardly been studied. The Indian study points to the need for more assessment of psychological effects of Covid. Given the confounding psychological effects of lockdowns and fear of Covid, it is not clear to what extent damage to functional connections in the brain could play a significant role. Nor is it clear how long these effects might last.

The Pandemic is a Gradually Unfolding Social Tragedy

It is notable that a number of public institutions appear to be functioning below their designed capacity and failing to meet urgent targets. It is apparent that social polarisation has increased during the pandemic. Violent crime has also increased. Workplace absenteeism has increased. Inflation and economic circumstances have worsened. Obviously these have multiple causes, but in the final analysis all come down at root to the aggregated acts of individuals.

There is scope for longitudinal investigation and assessment to find out if these circumstances of social dysfunction could be in part due to physical effects of Covid infection and/or Covid vaccination on individual brain function. Are either having a significant impact on social cooperation, economic activity, and individual well being?

There Are Implications for Human Genetic Stability

There have been over half a million papers published during the Covid pandemic. It is easy to miss key findings. Crucially the Indian study confirms that biotech interventions and experimentation can be associated with declines in cognitive ability that mimic ageing. It should ring alarm bells. As its findings involve the little known and technically complex cutting edge of brain research, serious implications may have been overlooked. The whole process of human evolution is known to involve unique genetic traits associated with language acquisition and cognitive ability. Any degradation of these will have catastrophic individual and social effects. The implication is obvious: biotech editing must be paused—it’s dangerous.

Believe me, biotechnology has gotten out of hand. Epidemiologist Michael Baker was doing the rounds of the media again this week, going through the motions of telling us all to mask up and vaccinate yet again. It wasn’t a very convincing performance, the tide of evidence has turned against him. In an act of mock heroic imagination, he reassured us that excess deaths were due to Covid and nothing else. As vaccination status is not recorded on death certificates, he must be a prophet of biblical ability to reach that conclusion.

But, whether excess deaths are due to Covid or to mRNA vaccination (it’s a mix whose proportions are the subject of ongoing research and academic debate), both are now known to be due to biotechnology editing and experimentation. The full extent of long term outcomes is only just being glimpsed.

In this regard, it is frightening that you can buy home biotechnology CRISPR editing kits for as little as $169 sold under the title BIOHACK THE PLANET. Start worrying, little Johnny is probably not staying up late in his bedroom with a night light reading comics as we did, he could be ending life as we know it.

Seriously though, growing generations are being schooled to accept biotech mutagenesis as ordinary, inherently safe, and a profitable career path, but mutagenesis implies dysfunction which can be either slow and relentless like cancer or swift and final like myocardial infarction. It can quietly steal away the future we were planning to enjoy, not just our future, but the future of our children and their children.

Novel genetic information spreads without limit and cannot be recalled. There are casual risks being introduced almost every day by aspiring biotechnologists, including many in the agriculture and food sectors, which can accumulate in the biosphere. They are eating away at genetic stability, until tipping points like the Covid pandemic are inevitably reached.

The complexity of microbiological life is unimaginable. It has proved resilient through the ages, but its fragility in the face of biotech editing has now been laid bare. We should know from our pandemic experience, biotechnology experiments can upset the natural balance previously inherited intact through millions of generations.

We now confidently know that Covid-19 and mRNA vaccines both came from the same stable—experimental biotechnology laboratories. As the old saying goes two wrongs do not make a right. In our case, they made a disaster which could and should have been confidently predicted by anyone knowledgeable working in the field.

For the last thirty years it has been well known that gene editing causes unintended consequences. Experiments on animals, crops, and now synthetic meats have been throwing up unexpected aberrations. Experiments with gene therapy on humans are dogged by failures.

Aberrations and failures both actually translate properly into a six letter word ‘deaths’. The word unexpected is also a misuse of the English language. I should have used inevitable, because that is fully corroborated by past experience.

Thirteen years ago disastrous genetic experiments on cows were already in full swing here in New Zealand sponsored by the government. Genetically modified cows were born with ovaries that grew so large they caused ruptures and killed the animals. They were formed when human genetic code injected into a cow cell was added to an egg from a cow’s ovary and put into a cow’s uterus.

Despite this disaster, under permits subsequently issued by the New Zealand Environmental Risk Management Authority in 2010, AgResearch were authorised to put human genes into goats, sheep and cows for a period of 20 years to see if the animals can produce human proteins in their milk. AgResearch scientists hoped that inserting parts of the human genetic code would enable ruminants to produce milk containing proteins that could be used in human medical applications.

A Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) investigation found deformities and respiratory problems among animals at the facility – something AgResearch had been open about—saying it was a foreseeable by-product of the project. In other words, they knew in advance it would all go to custard.

A Dr. Suttie at AgResearch said the root of the trouble with the cows was that the human FSH genes had affected the whole calf and not the mammary glands only, as was intended – a problem that did not show up in trials on mice. He summarised:

“This was not intended to happen. But, bluntly, this is what research is all about.”

Tell me about it, visit a pharmaceutical testing facility, as I did in the early 2000s, and you will find giant high temperature incinerators built to accommodate the mistakes (for mistakes read maimed animals).

A friend of mine Michael Antoniou, Ph.D., in an October 2022 interview with the Defender, agrees, stating that, 

“innately, gene editing also can bring about unintended DNA damage … even at the site of your intended edit or elsewhere in the DNA of your target cells, with unknown downstream consequences.”

A report published in the Journal of Genetics and Genomics in 2020 found CRISPR gene-editing in rice resulted in numerous unintended and undesirable on-target and off-target mutations.

Antoniou described this as “a grave oversight, because we know that gene editing is not precise … the evidence is there to show that you will always have unintended DNA damage in addition to what you want … a whole spectrum of unintended DNA damage that accumulates at the multiple steps of the gene editing process.”

Antoniou should know, he has been researching gene therapy at prestigious King’s College London for decades. His conclusion: it is at this time neither safe nor effective. Among qualified researchers his opinion is not an outlier, it is the norm, but what makes Antoniou unusual is that he is prepared to speak up publicly.

When gain of function research was restarted in 2017 and at the first sign that Pfizer and others were going to rush production of mRNA vaccines, just about everyone in the gene therapy field should have been shouting ‘NO’ from the rooftops. They didn’t. Many were complicit, some sat on their hands and they are mostly still sitting on their hands even now, as evidence of serious harm accumulates.

Just like the poor New Zealand calves whose lives were maimed and cut short by a biotech experiment, people are dropping dead suddenly or dying slowly from ‘unexpected’ (read inevitable) illness. Still no one in authority wants to know. In fact they are doubling down.

At the latest count 93 doctors have died in Canada during the pandemic, many of them young, but the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has issued advice to doctors encouraging them to insist that their patients are vaccinated, saying:

“It is also important that physicians work with their patients to manage anxieties related to the vaccine and not enable avoidance behaviour. For example, for extreme fear of needles (trypanophobia) or other cases of serious concern, responsible use of prescription medications and/or referral to psychotherapy may be available options.”

So the unvaccinated are to be subjected to psychological third degree or chemical restraint.

Once and for all, those in authority seem ignorant and/or confused about the well known mutagenic propensity of biotechnology. Genetic modification is dangerous, very dangerous, and all but impossible to contain, and certainly impossible to recall. If during the last three years you haven’t learned that, you must have a very closed mind, a determined death wish, a reckless greed, or take an unnatural joy in torture.

Those who know about the dangers of biotechnology who have undertaken gain of function research or involved themselves in the project to experimentally inject the entire world’s population with novel instructions overriding complex natural genetic processes, or who have simply kept quiet, are, there is only one word for it, guilty by act or omission.

It is time to close the doors of the biotech laboratories playing with deadly pathogens, the biotech vats, and the ‘we dared’ philosophies. Time to close off the billions of dollars of government funding and commercial investment. Time to shut the door to military involvement. Time to insist that the media tell the truth about dangers and the corrupt fact checkers stop hiding it. The alternatives are too apocalyptic to contemplate.

The Normalisation of High Excess Death Rates – There’s a Serial Killer on the Loose

0

For a few months now, we have been writing about record high all cause death rates. We are not alone; highly vaccinated countries around the world are having the same problem. So why is no one taking any notice?

Lives have become a little cheap. Apparently, no more so than in the minds of some of our journalists. Lynley Ward is the news director of the NZ Herald. Last night the Herald published her assessment of elevated all-cause mortality so far in 2022 under the title “Covid-19 Omicron outbreak: Infection deaths behind New Zealand’s record 2022 mortality rate“. Yes, she is right. Infection deaths are behind New Zealand’s record 2022 mortality—a long way behind. The unhappy matter of at least 2000 extra deaths in 2022 unrelated to Covid doesn’t seem to bother her. It bothers me.

The article discusses a lot of data but manages to hide the obvious—deaths are up all round and it’s not due solely to Covid. We are told that the elderly are dying, that Maori and Pasifika are dying too young, and that deaths are affecting all age groups. Sadly these stats have always been true. What is actually worrying about the 2022 figures?:—Many more people are dying among every ethnic group and every age bracket, too many to dismiss as inconsequential or blame on Covid

The Casual Treatment of High Death Rates is a Phenomenon of the Pandemic

Two days ago I wrote to the Chief Commissioner of Police Andrew Coster asking him to investigate record excess deaths. I received a very prompt reply yesterday from his Principal Advisor:

“Police will not be investigating these matters, other than performing our duties under the Coroners Act 2006, as there is no evidence that would indicate that an offence has been committed by any party…..It is the role of the Coroner to establish cause of death and determine whether the public interest would be served by a death being investigated by Police or other authority.”

So in the eyes of the police, the Coroner’s office is the responsible party. I wrote back to Commissioner Coster’s PA reiterating my concerns and expressing disappointment. In essence, my reply pointed out:

“The tools used to investigate multiple deaths have to go beyond those employed in individual cases and may require the services of a number of parties….There is a presumption of vaccination safety and government departmental competence, but this is not justified given the present death rates….I remain committed to a discussion of the issue with the Commissioner.”

So what does this mean? Multiple deaths from a single cause is not actually that rare a circumstance. Anyone familiar with true crime TV will be aware of cases where suddenly the penny drops and the police realise that a number of deaths occurred in such a similar manner that they are forced to the conclusion that a serial killer is on the loose. The coroner is not usually the one noticing this; it is an alert detective.

Can the Coroner Help the Police Out Here?

I also sent my letter to the Chief Coroner. The Coronial Services website (last updated on 11th October 2022) lists Judge Deborah Marshall as Chief Coroner, so I addressed my letter accordingly. But, and it is a big but, Judge Deborah Marshall announced her resignation in July 2021, 16 months ago. Unaccountably the government has not yet appointed any replacement, despite record deaths and record delays in the completion of coronial verdicts. The implication is that the government really doesn’t care about what is causing deaths. They are happy to let it be known via the media that “it must be Covid, what else?”.

The situation is dire. It currently takes an average of more than two years to complete a coroner’s report and four years to hold an inquest. In 2012 there were 330 inquests held. In 2020 there were just 24. The number of unresolved coronial enquiries in 2021 ran into hundreds. I can imagine that the backlog in 2022 would be in the thousands if it wasn’t for the fact that the government now has a blanket excuse for all deaths—it’s Covid. And incredibly they have not appointed a chief coroner and they have introduced legislation to allow coroners to record a verdict of ‘cause unknown’!!!

Coroners do not in fact usually have medical expertise, they are lawyers. So they are singularly ill-equipped to judge what is causing excess all-cause deaths in highly vaccinated countries, including our own, during the pandemic. They have to rely on the advice of the Ministry of Health.

It may not have escaped your notice that as Ministry of Health officials and medical professionals are the ones actually authorising and administering novel biotechnology mRNA vaccines, they might be reluctant to admit under oath to a coroner that there is rapidly increasing published evidence that Covid vaccines are causing a lot of adverse effects—this is by now indisputable. If they did, they would be implicating themselves in a crime. Instead, as they say in America, they are taking the fifth.

The Ministry of Health is Not Releasing Summary Data About Deaths

How many are being admitted to hospital or dying of cancer, heart disease, strokes, neurological conditions etc. compared to prior years? Without this data, even the best of Andrew Coster’s detectives would be hard pressed to start an investigation. The Ministry of Health is taking the fifth. They are releasing data and reports like this one, but it does not contain the key data needed to discover why so many people are dying (see my letter to Commissioner Coster for a summary of what data is being withheld by the Ministry of Health).

So we have what I call a three cornered hat. The Police, Coronial Services, and the Ministry of Health are all passing the buck and, happily for them, the buck stops at Covid. All three are concerned about single deaths, but 2000+ deaths can be safely ignored. No one is to blame, we can all go home and forget all about our neighbours and family members dying prematurely. I suppose that is what former Chief Coroner Judge Deborah Marshall decided to do.

The level of unconcern is stunning. In fact, our government reminds me of someone who has prematurely aged and needs to retire soon. While other players in government employment are simply happy that they don’t have to do anything out of their comfort zone. It is damning. As a nation, we need to wake up. We are stakeholders, not passive bystanders. Our duty is to keep the government honest and insist that government departments function as they should in a liberal democracy—with diligence, alertness, and responsibility.

It’s the Cows, Stupid

Sadiq Khan is the long term Mayor of London. Three weeks ago, he attended the C40 summit, a global conference of mayors in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He answered a journalist’s question with the following pearl of wisdom. According to Khan, there are three classes of people. Khan is a life long Labour Party member, but he was not referring to upper, middle, and working classes. No.

Khan explained that the first class was composed of individuals like himself who quickly realised that biotechnology was the best thing since white bread (and presumably very profitable too, to the right class of people). This first class, according to Khan, rushed out to get Covid vaccinated right away in a surge of altruistic fervor.

The second class was, according to Khan, essentially ignorant and didn’t know what to think. Apparently, these folks can be easily led and therefore were an ideal target for government control and propaganda. Sort of biddable mayor-fodder I suppose.

The third class was truly evil and of course unvaccinated. They are of such a delusional nature that they are unreachable and therefore not worth bothering much about (except possibly to make sure they will never be allowed to work again).

Sadiq finished with a flourish saying

In my new role as Vice Chair on the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) Steering Committee, I will ensure that London is a beacon to the world and helps to generate the opportunities that will accelerate the pace of change to create better cities for all.”

Well done Sadiq, you marshall those second and third class folks into line.

You may not have been following Cop27, in which case you might have missed a photograph of Rishi Sunak, Justin Trudeau, and, you guessed it, Klaus Schwab smiling for the world, wearing near identical flowery patterned shirts. So what do these chummy mates really believe in?

I suppose that most of the people at Cop27 are drawn from the upper reaches of the first class, and therefore must have travelled to Sharm el-Sheikh first class. But no, 400 participants arrived in private jets, thereby showcasing their upper first class credentials.

One of the great concerns of first class fliers is the number of cows who are irresponsibly pushing out methane. New Zealand to the rescue. An article “New Zealand targets cow burps to help reduce global warming” shows just how much can be achieved with antipodean ingenuity, a can-do attitude, and a large dash of biotechnology experimentation. Just about nothing it seems.

The New Zealand government has made a solemn promise that it will stop cows from burping.

This is apparently the subject of a huge scientific endeavour to cut ruminant methane production. New Zealand scientists are coming up with some surprising solutions that ‘could’ put a big dent in those anticlimactic emissions. According to the article, among the more promising are genetically modified feed, methane inhibitors, cow face masks, and a potential game-changer —lo and behold a vaccine. Hold your horses, or is it cows, none of these have so far been shown to work, so the government is actually going to start off by taxing farmers—the mainstay of our economy. We are planning to shoot ourselves in the hoof.

According to a scientist who has been working at Gumboot central research facility in Hamilton for 15 years (without so far succeeding), a vaccine would stimulate an animal’s immune system to produce antibodies, which would then dampen the output of the methane-producing microbes. One big upside of a vaccine is that it would likely only need to be administered once a year. Sound familiar?

At one greenhouse at the Gumboot campus, scientists are developing genetically modified clovers. Visitors (and presumably cows) must wear booties and medical scrubs to prevent any genetic escape. Did anyone tell them about the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

New Zealand farmers are not waiting around for all the research to come to fruition. On the Kaiwaiwai Dairies farm near the town of Featherston, a humble kiwi farmer Aidan Bichan said they’ve been reducing their methane output by getting more efficient, including increasing the milk production from each cow, using less processed feed, and replacing milking cows less frequently. Unlike the highly paid biotechnologists at Gumboot central they are actually getting results, but they are getting taxed for it. Doesn’t big government just get you all excited?

I suppose that years ago on the Serengeti plains, the North American prairies, the South American Pampas, and the waddies of Asia there were billions of animals on the hoof and the climate was all under control, but now the sheep and cows have gotten out of hand. You can even see herds of these irritating beings from the plastic windows of private jets, despicable.

Circling around the fringes of Cop27 (possibly in his private jet) is Bill Gates. I am not sure what comprises his breakfast menu, but I have a fair idea of what he wishes mine should become. Like much at Cop27 it should be synthetic. In other words, made up by someone who owns a portfolio of global patents, but not an ounce of humanity or a sprinkling of scientific caution. Gates is an investor either personally or through Breakthrough Energy Ventures in several of the companies he mentions in his latest book, “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” including Beyond Meats, Carbon Engineering, Impossible Foods, Memphis Meats, and Pivot Bio. Yummy.

Seriously though, the science of the evils of cows is actually not that sound or holistic. See this article in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews “Livestock, methane, and climate change: The politics of global assessments”. Cows might not be such a bad thing after all. On the other hand, the climate credentials of private jets are well known. They are not pretty. I can recognise the rank hypocrisy, even though I am a member of the third class.
