Where to From Here?

Is anyone in authority going to change gear? On current evidence, possibly not.

Our future appears to include reduced longevity and reduced birth rates, along with generous doses of genetic vaccines which will only hurry along our journey back to 19th century health statistics.

The central role of governments post pandemic appears to be to make sure no one finds out what has gone on and what is still going on. The FDA has refused to release its vaccine safety analyses for public viewing, hiding behind legal arguments designed to circumvent freedom of information requests.

On the publishing front, a headline in online Medpage Today (distributed worldwide to doctors) misleadingly tumpeted “Unvaccinated Over 10 Times More Likely to Be Hospitalized During Omicron”. I read the study which the article was based on, published in JAMA Internal Medicine.

The study was funded by the CDC and the authors received grants from the pharmaceutical industry. It covered Covid hospitalisations in parts of the USA from January to April 2022. Predictably the content didn’t justify the screaming headline. Here is a quote from the study:

“Multivariate analysis found vaccination was not significantly associated with a reduced risk of severe disease (ie, ICU admission or death)”

In January the proportion of Delta infections was still high and the administration of boosters was relatively recent. Predictably, any relative protection offered by boosters wore off rapidly and very significantly from January on.

No doubt, as studies in other countries show, the subsequent four months up until today would find the effect of boosters sinking into negative territory, while the unmentionable and unprecedented rise in all-cause deaths would remain unreported.

In other words, mRNA vaccination undermines your health, but this didn’t stop Medpage Today advising us to ‘stay up to date with our vaccinations and boosters’—a mantra that has long since passed its sell-by date.

How Medicine Got Left Behind in a Dull Mechanistic Newtonian World

From your letters it seems many of you are asking, like me: How are we all going to thrive going ahead and avert a looming dystopia?

Official medical policy decisions affecting us are all taken by individuals somewhere. All decisions originate in the mind. Understanding how to shift the goal posts is going to require a giant leap in our understanding of consciousness—individual and collective.

It is hard to communicate the excitement I felt as an undergraduate physics major when I was introduced to Schroedinger’s cat. Essentially this involved a paradox that arose from Quantum Theory. When you look at something (or technically speaking when you ‘measure’ it) you alter it, but until then it exists in a virtual combination of all possible outcomes described by a wave function.

When our consciousness intervenes, it collapses the abstract wave function into a single definite event (if you want to look at a modern experimental verification of the key role of consciousness in quantum mechanical reality look here).

This paradox was resolved by describing the world as a wave/particle duality. Sometimes the world behaves as a wave in a limitless invisible ocean and sometimes as a set of billiard balls bouncing off each other on an infinite table. Or more correctly, the two worlds coexist continuously.

For Newton, the world was always a vast tangible almost clockwork machine obeying a set of fixed rules. In a Quantum world anything is possible, even if the more ordinary everyday mechanical outcomes are more likely to eventuate.

Particles or objects that can be seen and touched characterise the world around us, but at smaller time and distance scales subtle fields orchestrate the cosmic dance. Nowhere more so than in our physiology. Consciousness holds a special place in physics and it operates at the heart of physiology.

Consciousness is the most abstract of fields, yet it connects with the most mundane of bodily functions and the most sublime human emotions. As a physicist you cannot consider the coordinated complexity of human physiology without thinking of field effects.

Quantum field effects can be associated with the creation of coherent states such as superconductivity and superfluidity. This involves the joining of microscopic particles into a macroscopic quantum coherent state. Such states operate at everyday distance scales. Their almost magical effects such as frictionless flow are visible to the eye.

DNA is at the heart of every one of the 37 trillion human cells, yet each of us is recognisable as a single unique person. The whole person is more than a collection of cells. Our cells are orchestrated together, just as millions of atoms can be under the influence of a single coherent quantum field.

The connection between consciousness and physiology is mediated by our genetics. Interfere with genetics and you imperil the intimate connection between consciousness and matter, mind and body.

Health is a combination of abstract consciousness and physiological homeostasis or balance. No one could imagine that physiology is a set of billiard balls, yet modern medicine mostly regards it in that light—periodically throwing in pharmaceutical billiard balls as if they alone will restore health.

At the same time ignoring dire adverse effects—a list of adverse effects in very small print graced our newspapers yesterday next to a large print call to ask for Paxlovid (there were no benefits listed):

“Possible side effects include vomiting; diarrhea; headache; high blood pressure; aching muscle, muscle tenderness or weakness not due to exercise; changes in taste or a metallic taste in the mouth; severe allergic reaction, signs and/or symptoms of allergic reaction include rash, itch, development of hives, swelling of the face (or of the tongue, lips, eyes, throat), feeling breathless, light-headed or dizzy, feeling unwell, nausea and abdominal pain.”

Robust health primarily depends upon diet, exercise, fresh air, and happiness. It can be degraded by highly processed foods, indolence, pollution, fatigue, and stress. Consciousness guides us through every day and every stage of life. Taking care of our consciousness is the vital necessity of every person.

Every cultural and spiritual tradition places the ascent of consciousness at the heart and height of human achievement. Therefore when shock jock Michael Laws said on The Platform this week that my interest in meditation and natural health disqualified me from science, he was denying the validity of culture, religion, and morality.

He was denying the historic achievements of people like St Francis of Asisi, Mahatma Gandhi, Hildegard of Bingen, Leo Tolstoy, and countless others who have cast their light down through the ages to guide and protect our highest cultural, moral, and spiritual endeavours.

He was also ignoring the vast scientific literature which has discovered measurable value in quiet reflection and natural life. Such as greatly reduced incidence of cancers if you eat five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day, or reduced anxiety and mental illness through meditation. My book Your DNA Diet discusses and references these at length.

Despite the fashion of scepticism and the idolatry of technology, our legacy of cultural and spiritual knowledge and the lessons of history are desperately needed now.

The Power of Truth and Self Discovery is Not Weak and Ineffectual as Some Would Have Us Believe

In 1990 I worked in Soviet Armenia for a year on an earthquake relief project and received a lesson in the power of meditation now and in history. My team taught over 35,000 people to meditate as part of a government sponsored programme to relieve the debilitating PTSD caused by a devastating earthquake in 1989 in which over 25,000 people died.

During my visit I was invited to visit the historic monastery of Khor Virap at the foot of snow capped Mt. Ararat. In the third century, St Grigor the illuminator was imprisoned in an underground cave for 13 years. He was eventually released and somehow cured the cruel pagan monarch of his mental illness. With the result that the nation converted to Christianity.

I climbed down a long vertical shaft in solid rock to visit St. Grigor’s tiny underground prison. Sitting there, my companion and I had an experience of deep quiet and inner light. Throughout Armenia today you can see caves cut into rocky cliffs that once harboured anchorites and christian mystics inspired by St. Grigor’s light. This sat easily in Armenia with a long tradition of meditation stretching back to ancient Vedic times.

I record this not with any intention to convert, but with a purpose to inspire the need for an understanding and experience of expanded consciousness. As consciousness lies at the centre of physics, it underpins our DNA which is constructed of particles and fields governed by the laws of physics.

As I have reported elsewhere, there is evidence that research in consciousness may offer a key to reset the integrity of our genetics.

Recovery from the pandemic can involve meditation, natural diet, physiological purification of toxins, doing what you enjoy, and collective cultural endeavours to restore the health of society. Denying their validity or utility amounts to a denial of the history of civilisation and the spirit of scientific endeavour.

What Should Matter in Journalism

0

This week I was briefly distracted by former politician and now shock jock Michael Laws who announced to the world that I was a “madman, conspiracy theorist, untrained in anything, with a tendency to make things up”.

Apparently, Laws took exception to the university where I studied for my PhD in research psychology—Maharishi International University. If you want to make up your own mind about MIU, an accredited university in Iowa, you can visit this link.

According to Laws, my occasional advocacy of natural food, yoga, and meditation, and their relevance to health policy, is weird. It should disqualify anyone from commenting on scientific matters whatever academic, technical, and professional expertise they might have. As if disagreeing with Laws is sufficient to neutralise academic qualifications like my doctorate. A good job he is not running our universities.

If you want to know more about my academic and professional qualifications, I have already publicly defended them following enquiries by a journalist. You can view the question and answer exchange here.

Laws’ comments are part of a current fashion to run down anyone who questions Covid vaccine safety. This is designed to distract from the real issues and the failure of journalists to investigate them.

His comments arose in the context of a listener calling in concerned about excess death rates in New Zealand. I have written extensively on the subject during the last few weeks at HatchardReport.com. Here is my position on Laws’ comments in brief:

Dictionary.com says ‘conspiracy theorists reject the standard explanation for an event and instead credit a covert group or organization with carrying out a secret plot’. It seems to me that Laws might be a conspiracy theorist himself as incredibly he implied today on his show that excess deaths are solely the result of Covid.

The weekly rate of excess all-cause death in New Zealand reached 946 in late August. That is 35% above the long term seasonally adjusted rate. A concerning figure.

Laws referred to Epidemiologist Dr Michael Baker as the significant expert who had reassured him that the record rate of excess deaths is due to Covid infection alone. Are the two of them part of a wider covert group carrying out a secret plot? You decide.

In a rational scientific forum, the Laws/Baker position on the sole cause of excess deaths being Covid could be judged speculative, certainly unproven, and likely untenable. There is insufficient evidence to support the contention, and indeed a great deal of evidence which refutes it.

A definitive scientific determination of the factors driving the record levels of excess deaths would require as a minimum the following information:

  • Information on death certificates recording vaccination status
  • Up to date compilation of cause of death information by category compared to historical data
  • Breakdown of these stats by age.

These figures have not been made available in New Zealand. However, they are available from some overseas sources:

  • UK ONS figures show that UK high rates of all-cause death are very disproportionately affecting the vaccinated and especially the boosted.
  • US VAERS data indicates hugely elevated rates of cancers
  • German data indicates that surges in death rates are consistently connected to upward movements in vaccination rates
  • US insurance industry data indicates that working age and young people are suffering elevated death rates unrelated to Covid

We should not be so isolated in our outlook here in New Zealand that these official overseas figures are of no concern to us. More importantly, we cannot look to journalists for definitive information on the subject. Earlier this week I wrote on the necessity to reference primary data sources.

Scientists like myself are hoping for a new serious measured style of journalism that exhibits a modicum of depth, caution, and balance, but journalists are 3 or 4 times removed from primary sources and not really stepping up to the plate.

The Platform says it is “offering unbiased coverage commentary and opinion and the chance to have your say on the issues that affect you…It aims to beat the hatred and division fuelled by taxpayer funded media and woke culture warriors who want to stifle debate and suffocate democracy.”

Earlier today I spoke to Sean Plunket, founder and of The Platform—the radio outlet employing Michael Laws. He felt that Laws is entitled to air his opinion however far it drifts away from matters of fact—a disturbing indictment of journalism in general.

Disturbing because there are human lives at stake here, thousands of all-cause deaths in excess of historical trends. These can’t be airily dismissed by a radio talk show host who is projecting an aura of certainty and authority he doesn’t deserve and is unable to reliably back up with facts and figures.

The good news—to resolve the impasse, Sean Plunkett assured me he will arrange a head to head moderated exchange between Laws and I next week. I wonder whether Laws will agree to it? If it happens, we look forward to it.

Cause of Death—Can it be Genetic Dysregulation?

0

Over the last few weeks the Hatchard Report has been discussing high rates of excess all-cause death around the world.

The connection with Covid vaccination is statistically evident and the evidence is mounting. This is not only affecting the aged but also young and working age people. Rather than rehashing the arguments you can catch up via this substack article which explains how the emerging data on injury and death is becoming too hard to ignore.

The high rate of all-cause deaths, some of which are sudden and unexpected, has increased the workload of coroners. Dr. Judy Melinek is a US coroner who moved to New Zealand in 2020 to take up a position in Wellington. An extract from her 22 August 2022 blog at Medpage Today illustrates the challenges coroners face:

The Ministry of Health, meanwhile, has changed how they count COVID-19 deaths, distinguishing who is dying of COVID-19 and who is dying with COVID-19. I’m a professional who has to make legally-mandated decisions about these kinds of things, and even I am struggling to parse that policy. Here’s a hypothetical example drawn from several cases I’ve done recently. A young adult man comes to my autopsy table. He had been apparently healthy and died suddenly. When I open him up, there’s nothing inside — no gross anatomic findings on autopsy that would explain his death. Under the microscope, however, I do find evidence of scarring in the heart tissue. When the body came to the hospital and then into our mortuary, he had two COVID-19 PCR swabs; one came back positive and one came back negative. So, we can surmise that this dead guy is harboring a low viral load — but is that an indication of a recent, healing infection or a “historic,” remote one? And how does it play into the cause of death?….

Too many what-ifs. In my field, we don’t like what-ifs. We’re supposed to provide final answers to coroners and to the decedents’ families. Knowing that what I write on the death certificate becomes part of the public record and actually influences the numbers our national health authorities generate makes me super cautious. I show the case to other pathologists. I schedule a peer review. I do extra stains and tests for viral PCR on the tissue — tests I would not have had to run 2 years ago — and I agonize over every word in the opinion on my autopsy report. Even routine cases for a forensic pathologist, like motor vehicle accidents and drug overdoses, get extra scrutiny if they test positive for COVID-19, or if they received a vaccination and the family or coroner wants me to answer whether the death had something to do with that.”

Dr. Melinek is certainly a Covid vaccine supporter and has given public interviews decrying conspiracy theorists and anti vaxxers, but her report indicates that key decision makers at the pathology end of all-cause deaths are sometimes unsure and becoming super cautious.

Others are making up their minds. Dr. Alex Washburne is a mathematical biologist and the founder and chief scientist at Selva Analytics. He researches Covid epidemiology, the economic impacts of pandemic policy, and stock market response to epidemiological news. He wrote on Twitter yesterday:

As the dominoes fall, there’s a very real chance that the people we thought

heroes in the pandemic were actually villains. There’s also a real chance the researchers with the most-cited papers are actually guilty of the worst research misconduct of the century.”

There is an interesting contrast here between someone who cuts up dead bodies and looks for clues and someone who analyses public Covid data and advises financial markets. The one becoming more cautious, the other becoming more suspicious.

Pathologists are not trained to analyse social data, and epidemiologists are not trained to examine internal organs, but given the complexity and novelty of the pandemic they certainly need to listen to each other very carefully.

Primary Data Sources are Very Important

Both of them are dealing with primary data sources, which brings us to a huge problem with the formation of the pandemic response policy. A lot of policy is being formulated based on out-of-date secondary and tertiary sources which no longer match up with primary data sources.

The primary sources are objective data sets from both research projects and public data collection. Some of these may involve subjective judgements on the part of physicians, but let’s hope that these are made carefully as Dr. Melinek reports she does.

Secondary sources involve published analysis of the data sets. These are scrutinised through peer review both formally and informally, but as Dr. Washburne reports even these can be subject to bias and misconduct. However, inconsistencies and inaccuracies, whether unintended or not, usually surface as time goes by, as evidenced by the 500+ drugs released then withdrawn from the market since 1950.

Tertiary sources involve administrative decisions taken by health advisors and experts. These are further from the primary source data and can involve professional bias. We have certainly seen a lot of this during the pandemic.

One step further away from the data, politicians and media explainers make their own assessments, advocate policies, and relay these to the public. We are now many steps away from up-to-date information in the rapidly evolving Covid data landscape. Political and commercial agendas are being funded in the media. Huge mistakes can and are being made. Mistakes that are evidently costing lives, as the rising excess all-cause death data shows.

This recent answer from the Green Party in the Rural Greens blog in response to the coronial inquest into a death attributed to mRNA vaccine side effects illustrates this point:

“Thousands of lives saved, one death in over 4 million vaccinations not even counting the boosters. You could hardly avoid all the information on the ministry website, articles in Stuff, TV and radio. This is sad for the family, just as it is sad for those families who lost completely healthy people to Covid world wide. Let us be clear once and for all, the Green Party is encouraging all sorts of vaccinations because they have proven to be effective and in some cases leading to elimination of diseases.”

In other words, this Green Party spokesperson relies on tertiary sources and MSM. They even got the Ministry of Health’s advice wrong, assuring us that there has been only one death in New Zealand as a result of mRNA vaccination—a preposterous assertion incompatible with primary data.

Political posturing like this has hardened public opinion, but it has done little to foster real understanding of the risks.

Effects of mRNA Interventions can be Inherited

The pathologist and the epidemiologist (as well as the Green Party spokesperson) we have already met, might do well to talk to the geneticists who published on 20th August 2022 a paper entitled Pre-exposure to mRNA-LNP inhibits adaptive immune responses and alters innate immune fitness in an inheritable fashion“.

This is a study of the effect of Lipid Nanoparticles (included in Covid mRNA vaccines to facilitate the entry of genetic information into cells) on immune system function in mice. It concluded

In summary, the mRNA-LNP vaccine platform induces long-term unexpected immunological changes affecting both adaptive immune responses and heterologous protection against infections. Thus, our studies highlight the need for more research to determine this platforms true impact on human health.”

In other words, whatever mRNA vaccine achieves, good or bad, it could be passed on through generations. A frightening prospect—mistakes may never go away and could haunt future generations.

How can Pathologists Accurately Determine the Cause of Pandemic Deaths?

After the autopsy, what is a cautious pathologist going to write down when it comes to describing the cause of an unexpected death in the time of Covid?

Firstly, there is no requirement to record vaccination status on the death certificate, so a vital primary source of data is being discarded. Secondly and crucially the actual ‘cause of death descriptions’ that a pathologist has to choose from are limited by training and prior experience. There hasn’t been a mass use of genetic vaccines before the pandemic—so they are not recognised as a cause of death in the normal course of things.

Let’s illustrate the dilemma pathologists face. This is part of a diagram I used when lecturing at university. It is designed to simply illustrate the key role of DNA in orchestrating all parts of the physiology:

Cause of Death—Can it be Genetic Dysregulation

The complexity involved in physiology is immense, but the hierarchical dependence on the information contained in DNA and its expression through RNA is obvious. Modify the RNA pathways through which DNA expresses itself, and you can see that every level of physiological function can potentially be affected.

As you go up this chart from levels 3 to 4 to 5, you reach larger time and distance scales which can be observed by a pathologist with the naked eye or through a microscope. Go down the chart, entities are smaller and cycle more quickly, they are not visible to the naked eye (levels not shown here below DNA are the areas covered by physics).

The pathologist is mainly examining organs and tissues (the higher elements of level 4). Post mortem test options are limited, although pathologists do have access to medical history and the results of tests conducted during life. There is no question of being able to examine the specific role that genetic manipulation (Level 3) might have played in any death. Pathologists don’t have the genetic expertise or the tools to determine this.

Nor is there any precedent to indicate this might be at issue. Mass human mRNA vaccination is novel, so pathologists are in almost completely uncharted territory. Not only that, but they have been constantly bombarded with assurances that mRNA Covid vaccination must be safe, by definition. Assurances that primary data is now calling into question.

In a prescriptive medical professional environment, no pathologist is going to risk writing an autopsy report that implicates Covid vaccination (unless it involves an absolutely clear cut unambiguous case of myocarditis without any history of Covid infection). To express doubts or to pass judgement on the role of genetic interventions is outside of their expertise. To do so could result in professional censure and possibly loss of employment.

Yet the primary data shows mRNA vaccination is associated with high all-cause death rates beyond historical levels. The unvaccinated are not suffering in this way. The inevitable question—is there a causal connection between mRNA vaccination and a very large number of deaths?

mRNA vaccination inserts a set of genetic instructions into cells that overrides the highly regulated cellular environment and stipulate the production of Covid spike proteins. We can term this ‘genetic dysregulation’.

It appears that the consequent stimulation of the immune system to respond to the Covid spike protein can lead to immunosuppression that increases with each subsequent vaccine dose. This is just one of multiple effects on physiology that are suspected, but as yet not investigated thoroughly.

Is the ultimate primary cause of death of a great many persons: ‘genetic dysregulation brought on by mRNA vaccination’? If so, there is no such standard box for a pathologist to tick and no one currently involved in certifying cause of death who could possibly attest to this.

Genetic dysregulation, or we could use the term ‘immune deficiency contingent on mRNA vaccination’, can underlie multiple symptoms and multiple disease types. High cancer rates, heart disease, bacterial infections, stroke, kidney disease, and neurological conditions can all be related to a single cause—the action of genetic vaccines at the all-powerful time and distance scales of genetic functioning.

It is not unscientific to suggest that multiple conditions can have a single cause. Hans Selye, an eminent Canadian scientist, popularised the notion that ‘stress’ contributes to a range of illnesses. He termed stress “the non-specific response of the body to any demand placed upon it”.

In the same way, sooner or later, primary data linking high all-cause death rates with mRNA vaccination must lead to a serious examination of ‘genetic dysregulation’ as an underlying cause of death. This is not a new suggestion. Italian researchers proposed post-mortem procedures to identify causal adverse effects of Covid vaccination in May 2021. However, this has had little or no effect since on autopsy procedures. This is because of the entrenched preconception that all vaccines, including novel biotech vaccines, will be safe. A preconception still shared by most medical professionals.

The geneticists, the epidemiologists, the pathologists, the administrators, and the politicians are not talking openly and honestly to one another or to the public. If they are aware that primary data shows all-cause deaths are related to mRNA vaccination, they are not talking about it, but are busy looking the other way and hoping no one will blame them. Some appear to be making sure that vital primary data is kept well hidden.

Growing evidence of serious long term Covid mRNA vaccine health risks, should be telling us that lives are at stake, many lives. The implications for public policy should be obvious, medical interventions designed to alter genetic expression and function are highly unpredictable and very risky. They can have powerful effects widely distributed in physiology.

Therefore novel biotechnology experimentation designed to create new pathogens or alter genetic function needs to be paused, and quickly. Any form of Covid vaccination mandate, public or private needs to be outlawed immediately. Covid vaccination programmes should be halted, as has happened in Denmark for the young.

Pandemic Reporting Needs to Meet the Burden of Proof

0

At this point in the Covid pandemic saga, the public is still faced with an information blackout.

The data is very concerning indeed, but no one in parliament or MSM wants to get in front of it. Instead many are still stuck stoking the fear factor. As Prof. Vinay Prasad, an American hematologist-oncologist and health researcher, wrote today: Legitimising irrational anxiety is bad medicine.

Early on in our efforts to publicise the dangers of biotechnology medicine, Guy had an email exchange with Jesse Mulligan, popular commentator with RNZ Afternoons. Jesse’s perspective on Covid vaccination was as follows:

Dec 6th 2021 “I feel like anybody aiming to critique such an obviously positive public health measure should begin and end their messaging reminding people that any risks/flaws in the vaccine are minor compared to the horrific impacts of getting Covid….I don’t have the time to correspond with you on this at length but, for what it’s worth, if you’re putting people off getting a largely safe vaccine by what you’re writing about it, I think you need to review how you approach writing these messages.”

Dec 7th 2021 “It’s not your caution I object to but the predictable effect it has in putting people off the vaccine…..I’d say you have the choice whether to use this data to educate and question (which I am keen on) vs lining it up to try and convince people they should fear or think twice about getting the vaccine.”

Jesse quoted from Ministry of Health directives and had also read some questioning scientific articles, but he could not get past the conclusion that vaccination was an obvious public good and for this reason, he declined to have Guy on air.

The ‘obvious public good’ narrative has come in for some recent criticism. The BMJ printed an opinion piece in July entitled “Time to assume that health research is fraudulent until proven otherwise?“. Or try this referenced substack article which reports that the negative harm/benefit ratio in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine trials has been acknowledged in a scientific journal article. In other words, there is more harm than benefit.

We wonder what is Jesse’s assessment of current evidence? He is on our mailing list, but the correspondence has only been one way since Dec 7th.

An Underlying Assumption That Biotech Medicine Interventions Are Safe

For us, the central early point of pandemic misinformation has been the underlying assumption that biotech medicine interventions could be safe.

There really was little or no evidence to justify such an attitude, in fact, as we have discussed, there was a great deal of published pre-pandemic evidence to justify caution. It seems to me that Jesse and most other MSM pandits were probably under-informed on this point.

Given the central role of DNA in human physiology, altering its function was from the outset potentially catastrophic. We are now facing Covid vaccine outcomes that not only involve serious individual adverse effects but also potentially affect whole populations in the longer term. These outcomes include:

The evidence for these is patchy because governments are not rushing to publish data, but it is still very convincing. So concerning in fact, that the Israeli government has covered up key data and scientific conclusions.

The latest comprehensive evidence for Covid vaccine induced excess all cause mortality can be found in a just published analysis: Excess mortality in Germany 2020-2022.

Sudden Deaths Among All Ages are Being Normalised

It is extraordinary how this perilous new normal has found its way into advertising messages, but not into serious commentary. Today we watched a TV ad for a funeral home which arranges alternative and appropriate funerals for those dying young, whilst a British Heart Foundation appeal featured a young woman collapsing on the football field. It did so in order to encourage donations.

Sudden deaths among all ages are being normalised in the public’s mind because they really are happening at a rate that dwarfs the past, as insurance data confirms. However here in New Zealand, we are still being subjected to puerile government advertising devoid of scientific caution. Like this MoH promotion which turned up this morning:

GET YOUR SECOND BOOSTER—I’ve had three shots, do I really need another booster? Current evidence shows your protection against severe infection slowly decreases over time—GET YOUR SECOND BOOSTER

No mention of safety, no mention of efficacy, and the term ‘current evidence’ is bandied about inappropriately as if this advert is scientifically up to date and reliable. It isn’t

So why has it become so unfashionable to be concerned about rising death rates and lowered birth rates? You might find a clue in this frightening pre-pandemic article from the government-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation “Medically assisted deaths could save millions in health care spending: Report”. Are higher death rates good news for people with this kind of perspective? We hope not.

Are we being too harsh? No. This involves the health and life of young people on the doorstep of a bright future.

In the Uncertain Covid Climate of Fear

When teaching, kindness and understanding go a long way towards improving communication and successful learning. We are clearly on a learning curve here. The poor vaccination outcomes were never anticipated, the adverse effects were initially disbelieved on principle, and blamed on misinformation.

We can understand that, in the uncertain Covid climate of fear, people took sides and trusted the official Ministry of Health narrative, but continuing to do so now doesn’t fit the published scientific narrative or the public data. Caution was and is a very scientific strategy, it never deserved bad press.

We’re reaching out here. Those offering advice to the public need to be more discerning if they wish to contribute to the well being and longevity of our society. MSM language has become extreme, and it is increasingly polarising without a foundation in science.

The sad reality is that medicine is a very conservative profession. Most medical procedures are locked in during training and seldom challenged for years after. Biotechnology interventions lie outside of the boundaries of past medical practice. What we need to do without anger, politics, or extremism is to talk through the fear of Covid and discuss the risks of biotechnology.

There is still a chance for seasoned journalists to cover the pandemic with an open mind. It is happening elsewhere. GB News for example has gained one of the largest prime time news audiences in the UK. Why not initiate a more open public debate? Cooling rhetoric and decreasing polarisation can only lead to better outcomes. Fresh air never harms anyone, it can save lives.

One of my favourite books read whilst at Christchurch Teachers College was “Cry The Beloved Country” by Alan Paton. A 1948 novel about the trials and tribulations in pre-apartheid South Africa. It poignantly mourns the loss of the stability offered by traditional tribal ties as the economic and social alienation of blacks takes root in the cities.

In 1980 New Zealand was still referred to as Godzone, a derivation of reforming Premier Richard Seddon’s turn of the century vision. ‘Godzone’ cherishes the ideal of a free caring society set in pristine nature. Whether this was ever fully true doesn’t really matter, it was something to aim for and be proud of. It celebrated our aspiration to be an inclusive, kind, and freedom-loving society.

The End of the Dream

Stuff Newspaper, famously sold for $1 in May 2020, is now generously funded by the New Zealand government to stuff us in their words full of “The Whole Truth”. Today Stuff published an article entitled “NZSO musician with anti-mandate ties seeking council seat”.

This is just another in a series of Stuff articles attacking anyone who opposed government Covid vaccine mandates, but for me it signals the end of the Godzone dream.

The assistant principal viola in the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Nicholas Hancox is standing in the upcoming local body elections, but he is not welcome to do so. His crimes as detailed by the Arts Correspondent of Stuff are as follows:

  • An orchestra colleague accused Hancox of wearing a “Freedom-affiliated T-shirt” to a chamber music rehearsal.
  • Hancox sent an email to his NZSO colleagues in December in which he linked various articles from scientific journals which questioned the safety and effectiveness of mRNA vaccination.
  • Symphony orchestra publicist Tom Cardy described NZSO as ‘nonpolitical’ (??) but linked Mr Hancox’s criticism of mRNA vaccination to the government’s Covid-19 policies and said NZSO staff must refrain from “any act, omission, or statement that may detrimentally affect the goodwill or reputation” of the orchestra. Cardy also said “employees should not do anything that could compromise or be seen to compromise the NZSO’s ability to retain the Government’s confidence”.
  • Hancox made a submission to Parliament opposing the Covid-19 Public Health Response Amendment Bill. Stuff describes such actions as part of an effort to make New Zealand ‘ungovernable’.

So let’s examine these crimes one by one:

  • He wore a freedom T-shirt—apparently offending an unwritten and little-known NZ dress code disbarring references to freedom. Oxford Languages defines freedom as “the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved”.
  • He referenced mainstream scientific journals—he should have referenced the government alone or perhaps Stuff arts correspondents. This is perhaps the end of NZ science. Do you think this is an acceptable position or the start of fanaticism? Fanaticism is defined as “belief or behaviour involving uncritical zeal, excessive enthusiasm, blind faith, and the persecution of dissidents”.
  • He held political views different from the government—to retain employment at government-funded NZSO he should have been a musician devoid of political opinions. A restriction compatible with repressive regimes.
  • He responded to a government public consultation initiative—he should have kept his mouth shut and obeyed without question. Surely the government should stop this pretence of public consultation, responding will only get you into trouble.

Among the journal articles Mr. Hancox linked is this one: Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States an early article whose conclusions have been widely replicated and have since been acknowledged as accurate—the study’s main point being that mRNA vaccination does little to reduce Covid case incidence. Something that we are very well aware of in New Zealand as the vaccinated have filled our hospitals out of proportion to their numbers.

An article written in 1940 by Leo Fanning entitled “New Zealand… A Free Land. The Real God’s Own Country” said:

“No man who found himself suddenly endowed with infinite power could design and make a better country than New Zealand—happy isles of heart’s desire. Here nature offers mankind every gift for health of body and mind…Anyone with a good knowledge of the people here believes firmly that they will strive to their utmost to keep themselves free because they know well that they have a country worth keeping, a country worth guarding.”

I hope the significance of Hancox’s crimes are clear. We are no longer a free country nor a chosen people. We have somehow created an exclusive political class so sure of their right to rule us that the very word freedom sends shudders through their ranks and elicits calls to close the door to those who cherish the opportunity to learn and express themselves—they are no longer welcome here.

Is the Spike Protein Causative in Haemoglobin Disorders and Clotting?

0

What are the wider implications for personal health, pandemic policy and mitigation strategies?

For some time there have been anecdotal reports circulating concerning the appearance and formation of unusual rubbery blood clots which have been detected in Covid vaccinated individuals who have died.

Some embalmers, pathologists, and funeral home directors have noted extensive white proteinous fibrous structures blocking arteries, unique in their experience, which may have played a role in the etiology and pathology of fatal illness.

If you have been following the issue, you will have seen photographs and/or videos of these structures like this short video from a concerned British funeral home owner, or you might have heard senior US pathologist Dr Ryan Cole discuss the phenomenon.

This issue is contentious and the subject of sceptical comment from some quarters, but the record number of unexplained deaths, even among the young, and the relentless and reckless promotion of mRNA vaccines points to a need for closer investigation.

Dr Jessica Rose, a postdoc biochemist, who blogs on Substack and podcasts on Audible, has released a probing scientific analysis of the possible causes of this widely recognised clotting phenomenon under the title “Is the spike protein acting as a prion with regard to haemoglobin molecules? And is porphyria being induced?. This article is both highly technical and partly speculative, but it is worth extracting some of the take home warnings and conclusions.

First of all note that this is the kind of precautionary post trial analysis that was omitted by Pfizer and others as they rushed mRNA vaccines to market. The reason behind 10 year approval cycles for previous vaccines is precisely because unexpected effects in the vaccine research field are the norm rather than the exception. The introduction of biotech jabs should have raised red flags about the short trial time frames, but it didn’t.

Dr Rose examines the possibility that the Covid mRNA vaccination causes haemolysis (rupture of red blood cells) releasing massive amounts of haemoglobin. And then asks: does the spike protein, due to its amyloidogenic peptides, trigger misfolding of the haemoglobin into amyloid fibrils causing subsequent blood clots and oxygen incapacity?

In other words, does the spike protein have prion-like properties that are causing chain clotting reactions (including microclots) which can cause death? Dr Rose thinks the answer to this question is a ‘YES’ and calls for more research to investigate the phenomenon.

Prions are pathogens that cause disease because of their misfolded shape rather than their biology. Misfolded proteins do not function like their correctly folded cousins and they are associated with neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. Prions can transform or ‘teach’ other proteins to misfold. It’s not really teaching as much as the disallowance of proper folding in adjacent proteins which then spreads further.

Disease-causing prions can resist proteolysis – the process which under normal conditions removes misfolded proteins. Protected from correction, prions can initiate an autocatalytic chain reaction which forms alien obstructive structures in the physiology. In Mad Cow Disease for example a prion chain reaction progressively replaces healthy structures in the brain.

Dr Rose outlines a plausible chain of events in the blood along with supporting evidence from VAERS data. According to Dr Rose, the reported incidence of porphyria, a rare disease normally caused by genetic defects, has increased in VAERS data by 17,265% when compared to years prior to the introduction of mRNA vaccination.

Porphyrins play a key role in the chain of reactions that produce haemoglobin. Porphyria is an accumulation of porphyrins in the liver or bone marrow due to defects in the porphyrin development pathway.

In addition to a wide range of severe physical and mental symptoms, porphyria can be associated with haemoglobin instability. Rupture of red blood cells is a necessary precondition for the release of unstable haemoglobin proteins susceptible to misfolding.

The increased incidence of porphyria raises another important safety issue which has consistently dogged the introduction of new drugs, vaccines, and even novel food ingredients. There is often an underlying assumption that chemical, physiological, biological, or genetic components perform single functions in isolation. This is invariably incorrect. Most have multiple roles. Altering one function, in the hope of correcting a single imbalance, can affect a whole range of other systems and outcomes.

Acute porphyria, in addition to physical symptomatology such as abdominal pain, has a psychiatric manifestations include hysteria, anxiety, depression, phobias, psychosis, organic disorders, agitation, delirium, and altered consciousness ranging from somnolence to coma. Some patients develop psychosis similar to schizophrenia. All of these effects come down to a dysfunction in physical red blood cell formation.

As we have discussed previously, psychological effects of genetic and epigenetic interventions including mRNA vaccines remains a largely unexplored field, but not one where safety can be assumed a priori. Yet that is precisely what has happened. Absence of evidence (since no one has looked for or measured effects) is not evidence of absence.

There is currently a lot of Covid hysteria, anxiety, agitation, and even phobia without much of a scientific or rational basis especially when you sit back and examine current Covid science publishing and data.

In summary, a whole range of naive safety assumptions have dogged the roll out of mRNA technology, and we have not yet adequately assessed the final outcomes of mRNA serious adverse effects.

Dr Rose raises a number of questions that require more investigation. Importantly, she urges extreme caution concluding:

Everyone needs to know why it’s essential not to introduce potential agents to disrupt the haemoglobin forming and clotting pathways [as the spike protein induced by mRNA vaccination does]. There are so many ways that things can go wrong. Which, is again, why I don’t understand why there are so many exceedingly arrogant humans who think it’s a good idea to mess with biology [using biotechnology].”

At the Hatchard Report we have already written about the persistence of the spike protein for months after mRNA vaccination and its capacity to accumulate in diverse organ systems. For this reason, it is clear that mRNA vaccine induced clotting can potentially affect all our organ systems in diverse areas of the physiology. The extent of this effect varies from individual to individual. There are currently inadequate procedures in the New Zealand health system to monitor such effects post vaccination or post mortem in order to investigate their extent more closely.

We started out by considering the causes of fibrous proteinous blood clots among the vaccinated, but by taking a wider angle of consideration we have realised that genetic interventions can threaten the holistic stability of life including even mental stability. Genetic structures connect mind and body.

All-cause mortality has surged to unprecedented levels around the world initiating the sharpest fall in longevity in 100 years. There is really only one sensible course of action—an energetic multidisciplinary approach to assess the range of adverse effects of human genetic intervention. The effort should be aimed squarely at pausing biotech and finding mitigating health strategies. This will require open minds. Successful mitigation will have to identify, include, and encourage proven dietary and lifestyle initiatives. Carrying on with present policies regardless is not an option.

Which only leads us back to our very own incautious blinkered government, health advisors, and administrators who this week ramped up the advertising budget yet again to encourage second boosters for everyone and a fifth shot for those with immune deficiencies; completely ignoring accumulating evidence that mRNA vaccination itself causes immune deficiency, while boosters are associated with increased all-cause mortality.

Our government has also launched a new advertising campaign praising the recent closure of District Health Boards and the introduction of centralised control of medicine. According to the advertising campaign, there are now more opportunities for contactless virtual medical consultations. In other words, you don’t need to meet a doctor in person, you can get your medical help directly from…who?? Hopefully it’s not the central government.

New Zealand—Safety not Guaranteed

0

The UK government recommends against offering the Pfizer Covid mRNA vaccine for pregnant women, those who might suspect that they could be pregnant, and anyone who is breastfeeding.

A carefully nuanced statement within a document entitled “Summary of the Public Assessment Report for COVID-19 Vaccine Pfizer/BioNTech” (the latest revised version released on 16th August 2022) says:

“In the context of supply under Regulation 174, it is considered that sufficient reassurance of safe use of the vaccine in pregnant women cannot be provided at the present time.…Women of childbearing potential….are advised to rule out known or suspected pregnancy prior to vaccination. Women who are breastfeeding should also not be vaccinated. These judgements reflect the absence of data at the present time..”

The report concludes there never was any safety data for pregnant or lactating mothers and blames the rush to get everyone vaccinated for the lack of caution and incorrect safety advice previously offered by the government.

Here in distant New Zealand, which has been deliberately isolated from international information by our government, we are still being subjected to government advertising and MSM promotional articles advising that it is recommended for pregnant people (??) to take the experimental mRNA biotech shot including boosters.

In contrast to the UK government, pregnant mothers are advised that there are no safety issues or uncertainties.

Yet our all-cause mortality is running at 35% above the long term average.

Rising all cause Deaths are Related to Booster Uptake

The UK government has thereby provided an answer to just one question among the many that remain unanswered. Prominent substack writer Steve Kirsh lists 23 unanswered questions about the safety of mRNA Covid vaccines.

Over the last many months, Mr. Kirsh has offered large sums of money to any vaccine-advocating scientists who will debate these questions with him. There have been no takers.

Among the 23 questions, the prize goes to the gathering dark shadow of rising all cause deaths in highly vaccinated countries across the globe. Mathematician Igor Chudov has given mathematical and statistical validity to what is obvious if you look at graphs of all-cause mortality.

His linear regression of publicly available official death data from 29 countries, calculates an ironclad statistical relationship between booster rates and deaths (p= 0.0002 or 99.98% certainty). In other words, boosters and deaths go together like bread and butter. The statistical details are linked here.

The refusal to publicly debate safety despite mounting and overwhelming evidence of related deaths, marks vaccine advocates as aspiring members of a ruling elite who believe themselves above accountability, ethics, and human rights.

Curiously if any among their number changes sides and entertains counter safety data, they are cast aside. Dr. Vinay Prasad, Dr. Mobeen Syed, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Dr. John Campbell, and many, many others started out their public commentaries strongly in favour of Covid vaccination. They are all vaccinated. Now they are all very publicly raising alarm bells about safety, but refer any vaccine advocate to their work (if you can) and these responsible doctors are rejected as unreliable (no reasons given).

How Have the Covid Ruling Elites Formed?

Ruling elites rely on enforcement of power structures and supremacy myths. They are often members of a single ethnic, professional or political group. They exclude and persecute those raising questioning or dissenting voices.

Such groups can attract narcissistic personalities and psychopaths (a serious personality disorder characterized by antisocial behavior, untruthfulness, irresponsibility, and lack of remorse or empathy) to join their ranks. Among ruling elites there is little room for debate or rationality.

The 4 C’s—careerism, conformism, coercion, and corruption are very busy around the world propping up the Covid vaccine safety narrative against evidence that has now become overwhelming.

In New Zealand, we are writing the book on suppression of information in order to save the reputation and protect the pockets of our ruling elites. To achieve this, the health of pregnant women and their unborn children, as well as the longevity of the population, including the very young, appear to have been judged expendable.

The Carefully Promoted Fantasy of Biotech Safety Dissolves in a Global Tsunami of Death, but It is Not Over

0

The use of CRISPR-Cas9 to edit genes was thrust into the spotlight ten years ago in 2012 when George Church, Jennifer Doudna, Emmanuelle Charpentier, and Feng Zhang harnessed it as a tool to modify targeted regions of genomes.

A discovery that earned Doudna and Charpentier a Nobel prize. Given its potential to revolutionize gene editing, Science magazine named CRISPR Breakthrough of the Year in 2015.

Biotech PR went into high gear announcing that an era of precise, safe gene editing and biotech therapy had arrived, promising better crops and livestock, as well as the faultless cure of diseases and genetic defects.

By 2017, it had become apparent that problems were surfacing. Multiple scientists were raising red flags. A summary in New Scientist 18 July 2018 headlined “CRISPR gene editing is not quite as precise and as safe as thought”.

A study of CRISPR by Allan Bradley of the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK and others found that in animal and human cell CRISPR experiments around a fifth of cells showed unexpected deletions or rearrangements more than 100 DNA letters long. These surprising changes are sometimes thousands of letters long.

Bradley noted some groups were developing treatments that would involve using genetic techniques to edit billions of cells inside the human body (sound familiar?). There’s a chance that a few of these cells might turn cancerous, he said:

“There’s a risk of causing cancer sometime in a patient’s lifetimeWe need to understand more before rushing into human clinical trials.”

paper published in Cell in 2020 examining CRISPR’s possible use on human embryos found that in more than half of the cases, the editing caused unintended changes, such as loss of an entire chromosome or big chunks of it—sufficient to cause life ending medical conditions.

The general conclusion was that editing of genetic and epigenetic systems carries risks of unintended consequences, and that genetic mobility and rearrangement of genetic sequences is a common outcome. Great caution was advised

Come the pandemic panic of January 2020 and the consequent loosening of the already inadequate safety protocols surrounding genetic experimentation. There followed the warp speed approval of barely tested mRNA vaccines. Then there was the pressure on governments:

Giving evidence to Parliament in May 2021, Dominic Cummings, chief advisor to Boris Johnson, said:

‘The conventional wisdom was that we were not going to be able to have any vaccines in 2020. In March, I started getting calls from various people saying, “These new MRNA vaccines could well smash the conventional wisdom, and don’t necessarily stick to it.” People like Bill Gates and that kind of network were saying that.’

There was no mention of mainstream scientific caution about biotech safety. The potential profits were mouth-watering. The introduction of gene therapy-based vaccines to billions of people, without any necessity to warn them of the well known risks, was all set to roll.

18 months on the situation has become apocalyptic:

  • All cause deaths in highly vaccinated countries worldwide are rising far in excess of pre-pandemic levels.
  • VAERS data shows that cancer incidence is rocketing.
  • ‘Unknown cause of death’ has become the leading cause of death in Alberta, Canada.
  • In other places, doctors are just guessing at causes of sudden death on death certificates.
  • Insurance claims among working age people are rising steeply.
  • Funeral homes are working at 30% or more above pre-pandemic levels.
  • In the rare cases where autopsies are performed, also noticed by embalmers, strange white proteinous self-assembling masses in arteries are implicated in blood clot formation.
  • Athletic youngsters and aging champions alike are falling ill and dying

You might think that there would be pause for thought, but you would be wrong. Government authorities are so far down the track, that it is proving difficult if not impossible to turn around. Instead they are doubling down.

  • In Queensland teachers who didn’t vaccinate are facing compulsory pay cuts.
  • An Australian journalist asking questions about pandemic policy was refused entry to New Zealand due to his “character.”
  • Two New Zealand journalists had their house raided, computers seized and were arrested for suggesting that some vaccine proponents might have committed criminal offences.
  • Ten police turned up at a doorstep to arrest a lady who attended the peaceful parliament protest 6 months ago (ten police to one woman?).
  • Pro-vaccine funded scientists are busy misrepresenting Covid data to reassure the public that there is nothing out of the ordinary and recommending more coercive vaccine and mask mandates.
  • In the UK and other highly vaccinated countries bivalent mRNA vaccines have been approved in the absence of safety data.
  • In Canada the courts have ruled that it is not unconstitutional to deny access to life saving health services to the unvaccinated.

Just reflect for a moment that the predatory commercial arm of the biotech industry has achieved a sought after goal:

  • Risky experiments on human populations have been normalised,
  • Generously funded by governments,
  • Granted indemnity from prosecution,
  • Supported by trusted media outlets.
  • Acceptable rates of adverse effects have been raised by 5000%
  • Doctors, medical professionals, and administrators have been generously paid or coerced into compliance.
  • The public has been thoroughly indoctrinated by a paid propaganda blitz.
  • Probing questions are cancelled by social media.

It is open season for biotech shots and no one involved in the gravy train is going to give that up without a fight. Dozens of new biotech vaccines are in the development pipeline, all hoping to cash in on the tsunami of death.

The battle lines have been drawn. On the one side vested interests with deep pockets, the modern medical establishment, and governments seeking ultimate control over personal choice, are urging on the majority of highly vaccinated people whose health is deteriorating rapidly but whose belief in final vaccine victory remains undimmed.

On the other hand, small bands of cautious unvaccinated individuals, rational scientists, and alternative media have their health, but are facing unprecedented criticism and cancellation. They have been labelled violent fascists determined to undermine democracy.

No one recalls or references the well known severe risks of biotech interventions which are detailed in multiple reputable journals pre-pandemic.

No one in authority will reference any current publishing that raises red flags. Instead they are blindly intent on making everyone comply with Covid vaccination policies and presumably in the near future with more novel biotech vaccines covering a wide range of illnesses.

For centuries it has been held that free will is what distinguishes us from animals, take that away and what are we left with?

How A Small Scientific Elite Dictates Government Policy

Fact Check: Are Excess Deaths in New Zealand the world’s highest or lowest?

The University of Otago publishes a blog called Public Health Expert. The 24th August edition was entitled “The Covid-19 experience in Aotearoa New Zealand and other comparable high-income jurisdictions and implications for managing the next pandemic phase“.

The authors were Dr. Jennifer Summers, Prof Nick Wilson, Dr. Lucy Telfar Barnard, Dr. Julie Bennett, Dr. Amanda Kvalsvig, and Prof Michael Baker, who all work at the Otago University Department of Public Health.

This blog has been picked up uncritically by newspapers across New Zealand. For example the Otago Daily Times claims that:

A new analysishas shown how New Zealand’s pandemic response left it with one of the lowest rates of excess mortality in the world sparing it the thousands of extra deaths seen even in elimination countries like Taiwan and Australia.”

The blog uses data from Our World in Data, a US website, in order to compare New Zealand data with Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Australia, and South Korea. Based on their analysis, the blog authors advise extending New Zealand pandemic policy, including vaccine enforcement, mask wearing, home isolation, and vaccines for the under fives.

The blog prints a graph (below) apparently showing that New Zealand has the lowest rate of excess all-cause deaths among the six countries for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022 (the small print notes that the graph might not count all deaths due to incomplete coverage and delays in reporting).

The graph appears to show that all cause deaths in New Zealand have remained well below pre-pandemic levels throughout the three years covered by the pandemic. The Y axis is labeled ‘number of deaths per million relative to previous years’. The graph does not state whether this is a weekly total or a cumulative total or something else.

A naive reading of the graph, which was presumably the approach of the various poorly qualified science explainers in MSM, appears to show that excess deaths per million are currently at a rate of 200 deaths below previous levels (per week, per year, per three years??? the blog doesn’t tell you), but you would be completely wrong to read the graph like this.

If you go vertically up from the date 1 July 2022 to the graph and then across to the Y access, as we are trained to do in school, you reach a figure—minus 250. If you think that means in the week ending 1st of July all-cause deaths were 250 below the long term average, you are being misled. The all-cause death rate for the most recent week of August is actually 246 ABOVE the long term average.

Close inspection shows that the graph is a measure of the accumulating excess death rate for the entire pandemic, not the current death rate. In other words, the early death data before Covid infection and vaccines is averaged with present data, which appears to lower the current death rate.

The success claimed for New Zealand by the blog and the low death rate reported by MSM is actually due to the extreme lockdown measures of 2020 and the consequent zero flu rate. Since then, matters have consistently deteriorated, and now deaths are accelerating to unprecedented high levels.

In 2020 there were virtually no Covid infections and no vaccines. The closure of borders and lockdowns ensured there was no flu season. All-cause deaths were very low. For most of 2021, lockdowns continued, and Covid cases were very low, and vaccines were rolled out. Deaths rose and peaked parallel to the vaccine uptake. In 2022 all-cause deaths have risen dramatically. Deaths because of Covid form a very small percentage of the all-cause deaths.

NZ All Cause Deaths Highest in the World

Official New Zealand Ministry of Health figures from last week show that all cause deaths were 946 for the week. This is a record for New Zealand.

The pre-pandemic average number of deaths per week was 663. Taking into account seasonal fluctuations (winter deaths are higher) the current excess number of weekly all cause deaths is 35% above the long term average. A very worrying figure indeed. Among the highest in the world, not the lowest.

The correct interpretation of the 2022 figures in the graph is as follows:

All six countries which have followed vaccination policies very similar to New Zealand now have rapidly rising all-cause death rates.

Are you impressed or are you disappointed with the rather deceptive approach being taken by Otago scientists? If you are concerned you are not alone, in fact you are in august company. Rishi Sunak, until recently UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, currently in the last weeks of his bid for the Tory leadership, has given an interview with Spectator magazine entitled:

The lockdown files: Rishi Sunak on what we weren’t told

These are some of his conclusions he reached from inside the UK government decision-making process:

When the evidence started to roll in, a strange silence grew in government: dissenting voices were filtered out and a see-no-evil policy was applied.”

A cost-benefit calculation a basic requirement for pretty much every public health intervention was never made…. The script was not to ever acknowledge side effects [of policies]”.

One of Sunak’s big concerns was about the fear messaging, which his Treasury team worried could have long-lasting effects.

In every brief, we tried to say: let’s stop the “fear” narrative. It was always wrong from the beginning. I constantly said it was wrong.”

The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson wanted to present it as following the science rather than a political decision, and this had implications for the wiring of government decision-making. It meant elevating Sage, a sprawling group of scientific advisers, into a committee that had the power to decide whether the country would lock down or not, but it was a forum where questions could not be asked. Sunak said:

This is the problem, if you empower all these independent people [advisors], youre screwed.”

Sunak said that questions and concerns raised by some Sage scientists during their private meetings were withheld from government. As a result, according to Sunak, government pandemic policies, especially lockdowns, created an economic disaster.

This week’s Public Health blog from the University of Otago is a prime example of what Rishi Sunak has revealed. The blog is aimed directly at informing future government policy. It says:

Based on a comparison of responses we provide updated recommendations for the NZ Government around strengthening existing public health measures to reduce the immediate and long-term impacts from Covid-19.”

In fact, the information provided by the Otago Department of Public Health scientists to the government in this blog is lacking key explanatory information and apparently biased in favour of particular policy decisions. It suggests that prior New Zealand policy has been the best in the world and should be extended.

Their recommendations include:

  • Extending current government messaging encouraging boosters
  • Strengthening measures in schools.
  • mRNA vaccines for the under fives.
  • Deploying new biotech vaccine types.
  • Stronger measures to ensure vaccine acceptance.
  • Mandates to enforce mask wearing.
  • Longer periods of home isolation

The sole reference in the blog to the rapidly accelerating all-time record levels of all-cause mortality in New Zealand is this phrase:

“…the direction of the curve suggests that the reduction is decreasing in magnitude.”

Do you think that is sufficient information for politicians to make informed policy decisions? We don’t. As Benjamin Franklin said many years ago:

There’s none deceived but he that trusts”.

As I wrote to Prime Minister Ardern last week, we are not recording the vaccination status of people on death certificates. As a result, we don’t know what is causing the excess deaths in New Zealand.

In the UK, such figures are kept and they show that excess deaths are disproportionately affecting the vaccinated, especially the boosted. Data from other countries indicates the causes might include high cancer rates, blood clots, and cardiovascular illness.

Crucially, deaths rates are unusually affecting working age people and the young. Have our experts informed our government? Apparently not.

As Rishi Sunak advises:

“Find out what you are not being told”.

The Tide May Be Beginning to Turn, But Most Are Pressing on Regardless

0

The publication and analysis of damning official data from the UK, Israel, and all points of the compass (see here and here) has established that Covid vaccination is driving adverse effects and all-cause deaths on an unprecedented scale.

Suddenly a few officials are offering apologies. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of the US CDC, told us last week that they had got their pandemic response wrong.

The adverse effects and death data is so definitive that lawyers are warning officials to change tack or face prosecution. A law firm in Australia has warned AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Authority) that they were breaking the law when they forbade doctors and other health professionals from publicly questioning the science underlying the emerging COVID-19 injectables.

Even Google owned YouTube is quietly changing its censorship policy. You are now allowed to post a video asserting that masks don’t work, previously your work would have been deleted. However, a school in mask-loving California called the police when a four year old took off his mask and refused to put it back on. He was taken home by the police and excluded from school for a week.

In the UK, the JCVI (Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation) advised the government to approve the new bivalent Moderna mRNA Covid vaccine. What were they thinking? They did so without adequate safety data, apparently on the basis that we have done it once and got away with it, so why not have another go? View a list of guilty JCVI members here.

An article in the Washington Post entitled “Your first brush with coronavirus could affect how a booster works” reprinted in Stuff illustrates just how far scientists are willing to go in order to retain their options to experiment on the general population.

The nuanced discussion claims that mRNA vaccines were initially spectacularly successful (???), but concedes that they no longer work because of immune system imprinting (aka original antigenic sin), and even goes as far as admitting they almost certainly won’t work in future.

Even so, it quotes scientists urging the development and use of revamped mRNA technology including bivalent vaccines, nasal vaccines, vaccines at birth, and vaccines tailored to individuals (none of which according to the article are likely to work very well, if at all).

Crucially the article makes no mention of adverse effects of RNA vaccination or rising excess all-cause deaths, instead scientists argue that the pandemic response has not worked but has been overall “a good thing”—an oxymoron. They must be really worried about the longevity of their research grants, but not so worried about the longevity of the world’s population.

The most memorable quote from the article is in the last sentence: Christian Gaebler, an assistant professor of clinical investigation at the Rockefeller University says:

“If someone says they fully understood this, they would be lying.”

Here in little New Zealand the penny has not yet dropped among the general public. Why would it? Over 90% of the population are Pfizer vaccinated and the unvaccinated have been publicly designated (by all political parties, the government, MSM, and academia) as terrorists determined to make the country ungovernable. Any public u-turn would be immensely embarrassing.

New Zealand has become party-central for government overreach. Herd-immunity, adverse effects of mRNA vaccination, and lab-leak theories have all been officially labelled by a government funded research institution as baseless conspiracy theories. MSM have elevated the charge to treason.

All three of these concepts are the subject of copious academic publishing and debate. Excluding them from public discussion or labelling them as false amounts to an attempt to subvert the scientific process. A couple of days ago Brett Sutton, Chief Medical Officer of the Australian state of Victoria, tweeted that the lab leak theory was proven false beyond doubt. He doesn’t appear to be following science publishing.

See for example this analysis which argues that recently published studies advocating a zoonotic origin of Covid-19 suffered from ascertainment bias. In other words, their case sampling concentrated around the Wuhan Seafood Market because scientists assumed from the outset that it must have begun there. As a result they omitted to cast a wider sampling net which might have disproved the theory. Statistically equivalent to asking only train drivers if they liked railways, then concluding that all people like railways.

From this point, any politician, media outlet, or health professional who continues to claim the universal safety and effectiveness of Covid vaccination and its applicability for the young has either neglected to inform themselves or they are being willfully misleading.

Anyone who casually blames climate change, holiday heart syndrome, or a host of other excuses for the rising rate of all cause deaths is not only barking up the wrong tree, but they are also confusing the public and obstructing the course of justice.

I am surprised New Zealand media reprinted the Washington Post article, it doesn’t fit with their prior publishing, but then again maybe the tide is beginning to turn even here. We are still waiting for a public discussion offering honest and complete information about risks in a form that can be readily understood.
