Ten ways the government and its allies control the pandemic narrative to ensure most of us are none the wiser!

This week Dr. Ian Town, chief scientific advisor to the Ministry of Health, announced that the unvaccinated are six times more likely to be hospitalized with Covid than the vaccinated.

Dr. Town prefaced his remarks with the caveat “the data is reasonably preliminary”.

Two weeks ago epidemiologist Dr. Michael Baker told us that the unvaccinated are 9 times more likely to be hospitalized.

So who is right, or do you, like me, smell a rat?

The answer is neither, and the sleight of hand involved makes for gripping science fiction.

Every day the New Zealand Ministry of Health issues daily data for Covid infections, hospitalisations, and deaths. Our team here at the Hatchard Report copies and compiles these figures.

We also communicate with the Ministry of Health and Medsafe, sometimes with OIA requests, to clarify the reporting procedures that are being applied.

Our figures are therefore official, but strangely they differ by a huge margin from those hinted at by Dr. Town.

The light blue line indicates hospitalisations for unvaccinated, the light red for the vaccinated. These are rates per 100,000 population so they are strictly comparable.

The daily volatility is due partly to delays in the collection of data from around the country. For this reason, the long term trends are calculated in thick blue and red lines respectively.

You can clearly see the unvaccinated are becoming progressively less likely to be hospitalized with Covid, whilst the rates among the vaccinated remain more or less constant.

The graph shows that the unvaccinated are gaining a measure of herd immunity as more and more of them catch Omicron and recover, but why aren’t we seeing a similar result for the vaccinated?

The answer lies in something termed immune imprinting. A paper published a few days ago in the journal Science investigated 750 triple vaccinated individuals and found that vaccination combined with their various prior infection or immunity histories had conferred some protection against earlier Covid variants but often left them vulnerable to subsequent variants, especially the B.5 variant.

Ten Ways the Government Controls the Covid Narrative

So how is it possible for Dr. Town to claim that the unvaccinated are not only worse off than the vaccinated but 6 times worse off, when official figures show it is the vaccinated who are actually worse off?

1. Distortion of Population Data

The Ministry of Health overestimates the percentage of vaccinated individuals and undercounts the number of unvaccinated individuals. The Ministry of Health says that in any group of 100 people 97 are vaccinated and 3 are unvaccinated.

The true ratio is closer to 85 vs 15. The effect of this is simple. Undercounting the unvaccinated artificially inflates their rate of hospitalisation.

2. Poor Definition of Unvaccinated Status

The Ministry of Health counts all people who have had just one jab as unvaccinated. No one is counted as vaccinated who received their jab less than seven days ago.

So for example, if a person catches Covid during the week after vaccination and then dies four weeks later, or they have only had one jab, they are counted as an unvaccinated Covid death.

This also artificially inflates rates for the unvaccinated and conversely hides hospitalisations and deaths among the vaccinated.

3. Amalgamation of Historic Covid Figures

The Ministry of Health adds all historic Covid data together, this confuses the current Omicron situation with past variants and makes the short lived effect of vaccination look more significant.

It also ignores the impact of herd immunity among the unvaccinated.

4. Lack of Peer Review

The government and its advisors are quoting figures out of the context of peer review. Dr. Town used the term preliminary to describe his figures.

The government is ignoring the results of carefully performed published work that has gone through scientific peer review in favour of its own in-house data which as we have seen is biased by poor reporting practices.

5. Lack of Debate

There is no provision at press conferences or in the media for genuine debate of government data.

6. Control of Media

The government is continuing to provide significant funding to media to support Covid coverage which is favourable to the government’s position.

It surely cannot escape our notice that such cosy arrangements are alien to our conception of a free and honest democracy.

7. Funding of Fake Science

The government funds Te Punaha Matatini to issue unreviewed science papers which have grossly overestimated the impact of Covid.

These papers have for example labelled the established scientific concept of herd immunity as a conspiracy theory.

8. Discouraging Social Communication

The government has informed people that social communication has been hijacked by conspiracy theorists, thereby reducing the opportunity for and trust of peer to peer communication essential for a lawful society.

9. Failure to Publish Key Data

Emergency departments and heart specialists have been overwhelmed with an unprecedented surge in cardiac cases which an Israeli report shows are related to vaccination but not to prior covid infection.

The government has failed to make these facts public. Worse, the government and the media have tried to relabel such sudden cardiac problems as due to other causes.

10. Coercion of Medical Professionals to Remain Silent

Medical professionals wishing to speak up and voice concerns face loss of their profession and media vilification if they do so.

The Sun is Trying to Break Through the Clouds

Yesterday an article by the NZ Herald science reporter Jamie Morton said:

“Local cases of BA.4 and BA.5 – which have been shown to be more effective at causing breakthrough infections among vaccinated and boosted people – likely now numbered in the thousands here.”

Unfortunately, the article and this rare paragraph of clarity disappeared from the online headlines very quickly. You can’t have too much of a good thing.

In any case, the paragraph was incomprehensibly followed by a quote from epidemiologist Michael Baker drawing the conclusion that the pandemic would stop when everyone was fully vaccinated and masked.

Jamie Morton and the editor of the Herald must have missed the oxymoron.

Science has standards. These involve communication, debate, and publishing. If you remove these, as our government has done, you don’t have science, you have something quite different—mass deception.

Out of the many articles I have written during the pandemic, the ones that elicit the most enthusiastic and emotionally charged responses are those describing the stupidity of ministers.

It is of course an easy out to blame the PM and call for a replacement. One thing I learned over the years is that a change of leadership often doesn’t really change much.

Perhaps we end up with the government we deserve, come what may.

The candidates for blame are many. These are my top picks:

• The poor decisions of government
• The removal of the right of medical choice
• The failure to control biotechnology experimentation
• The pharmaceutical monopoly of medicine

When we were campaigning for labelling GM foods back in the 90s, we were successful because of consumer choice. Once informed, people chose to maintain their traditional food values and reject novel gene altered food.

If you remove the right of medical choice, as happened all over the world during the pandemic, there is no consumer power. You are left powerless.

The government took its pandemic policy decisions from a very low knowledge base concerning biotechnology. They simply went with the pharmaceutical lobby which is near total. They asked very few questions and dismissed any advice to the contrary.

But the winner for blame is the failure to control biotechnology experimentation. At Wuhan Virology Laboratory and all around the world, diseases were being weaponized and still are.

I hesitate to say ‘mistakes were inevitable’ because there were no mistakes involved.

Scientists were enthusiastically and deliberately combining deadly illnesses with invasive techniques to penetrate the body’s defences. This was and is going on under the benign smokescreen of the word ‘vaccination’.

No one informed governments that genetic fragments are incredibly mobile. They can race around the world in days. They can never be recalled.

No one informed governments that the stability of the immune system has evolved over uncounted millions of years through a co-evolutionary relationship with the wider epigenetic environment of plants, animals, and the earth’s climate. A stability that could be upset in a moment.

No one informed governments that our nutritional processes and ultimately our health depends on the genetic content of our natural foods inputted through the gut and supported by the air we breathe.

No one pointed out that our mental processes are connected to our physiology in a reciprocal relationship mediated by our DNA.

Nor did anyone mention that mRNA techniques would inevitably upset the function if not the structure of DNA, and thereby disturb the connection between mind and body.

Everyone forgot to mention that the primary determinants of health are balanced diet, lifestyle, exercise, rest, clean air, pure environment, and happiness. They account for 99% of good health outcomes.

This could and should have been the basis of government messaging, not the constant fear-mongering which only serves to degrade health and create psychological stress.

No one mentioned that the first rule of gene therapy was that unintended adverse effects are inevitable.

Instead, governments received the all clear and all safe messaging of public relations experts well recompensed by those who stood to profit the most.

There is an alarming French television series called ‘Peur Sur Le Lac’ about a biotechnology scientist who was blackmailed into releasing the Ebola virus on an unsuspecting population.

The history of criminology is endlessly full of examples of crimes and mistakes. Biotechnology experimentation is endlessly full of the most dangerous pathogens on the planet waiting to fall victim to criminal intent.

It is inconceivable that deadly crimes will not take place, crimes that will drag the whole world down.

And here’s the rub, biotech scientists are even now busy creating new and even more deadly pathogens. They are being funded by governments and unscrupulous entrepreneurs.

They are being funded by military strategists shielded by both shady and well-respected regimes. They are proclaiming their innocence whilst engaging with the most deadly and unstoppable disasters known to man.

Biotechnologists are promising us they will cure all illness and prolong life, whilst hiding the very real risks and confirmed prospects of shortened life.

Young students are being trained in large numbers at universities all over the world to play God with the safety of the human race using nothing but a little bit of hardly understood knowledge. A more baseless and dangerous professional endeavour cannot be imagined.

If governments do not control biotechnology experimentation, they are promoting the greatest risks so far known to mankind and inevitably exposing an unsuspecting population of the world.

They are doing so in the name of health, an enterprise seeped in the deepest deception.

A May 31st report in the Guardian entitled “Three jabs best for preventing Covid infections, global analysis finds” reports on a study published by the BMJ on the same day.

The authors searched global World Health Organisation (WHO) databases in an effort to discover whether mixing and matching vaccine types was better than sticking to one brand.

The study concludes that a combination of any three mRNA vaccines is 95% effective against hospital admissions. It also says that even two doses of mRNA vaccine are 99% effective at preventing severe Covid.

Did the authors realise that these astonishing and entirely unconvincing headline effectiveness figures will grossly mislead and deceive the public?

I don’t know, but I do know that real world figures from around the world show the exact opposite. At the very least, there is currently no statistical difference between rates of hospital admissions for the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Here in New Zealand and in many other countries who still publish data, official figures show that the triple vaccinated are in fact more likely to be hospitalized with Covid. In other words, mRNA vaccination damages health.

Rigorous Scientific Enquiry is Taking a Back Seat

The paper illustrates just how far our understanding of Covid outcomes has drifted away from rigorous scientific enquiry into a self-congratulatory faith.

The Guardian report on the study begins with the phrase “the effectiveness of individual coronavirus vaccines is well known”. This must be a typo, surely the author meant to write ‘ineffectiveness’?

Hidden in the conclusion of the BMJ paper is a vital clue:

“The vaccine effectiveness against death in people who received three doses of mRNA vaccine remains uncertain”

Now correct me if I am wrong, but surely if a vaccine is claimed to be 95% effective against hospitalisation and 99% effective against severe Covid, it must prevent deaths?

Well according to the paper’s authors their comprehensive review of all WHO databases cannot confirm this. How come?

The answer lies in the interpretation of data and the use of statistics.

Whilst careful editing and curation of hospitalisation and infection data is possible, death has a finality which is hard to ignore. Mortality statistics are carefully recorded everywhere. These show that all cause mortality is on the rise.

The possible culprits are either Covid itself or Covid vaccination. Whichever is the case, the argument for the effectiveness(??) of Covid vaccination against death is a non-starter.

Vaccine proponents are out in force these days arguing (without credible evidence) that increased deaths, especially the significant increases in cardiac illness and deaths among working age people, have nothing to do with mRNA vaccines and everything to do with long Covid.

View a heart specialist in New Zealand recently commenting to this effect.

A report “Increased emergency cardiovascular events among under-40 population in Israel during vaccine rollout and third COVID-19 wave” published in Nature found to the contrary:

Emergency Cardiac Callouts Were Related to Vaccination, But Not to Prior Covid Infection

The authors concluded “It is essential to raise awareness among patients and clinicians with respect to related symptoms (e.g., chest discomfort and shortness of breath) following vaccination or COVID-19 infection to ensure that potential harm is minimized.” and further said:

It is “critical to better understand the risk-benefits of the vaccine and to inform related public policy and prevent potentially avoidable patient harm.”

Governments and Health Authorities Have Ignored the Conclusions of Evolving Covid Science Publishing

In fact, over the last 18 months, the whole mythic edifice of mRNA vaccination safety and effectiveness has come tumbling down due to new scientific findings and assessments.

So what do you do if you are a Covid mRNA vaccine proponent? Of course, you double down on your faith, you plough on regardless:

At first mRNA vaccination was 95% effective against infection and completely safe. Then it was discovered it rapidly waned in effectiveness. So it was pronounced effective against severe infection and hospitalisation.

Then it was realised a very wide range of adverse effects followed vaccination, so these were designated as unrelated or caused by vaccine anxiety.

Then the volume of myocarditis cases was too high to ignore, so these were described as mild and short lived.

Then post-vaccine myocarditis was discovered to be long lasting and potentially serious or even fatal, so it was suggested that early intervention would work well.

Then it was discovered that all cause mortality was rising, so it was suggested this must be due to post-Covid infection complications and not to vaccination.

New Zealand epidemiologist Michael Baker, a favourite of the government, is currently gaining widespread media coverage with suggestions that mRNA vaccination prevents 90% of hospitalisations and has saved 80,000 New Zealand deaths.

No doubt reassuring to the 90% of the New Zealand population who are vaccinated, but it doesn’t fly scientifically in any shape or form.

The approach of the New Zealand Government government remains unchanged by the evolution of Covid scientific publishing, note:

• Their lack of ability to change policy in the face of evolving scientific publication.
• Their lack of empathy for those suffering adverse effects.
• Their scapegoating of the unvaccinated without basis in fact.
• Their rejection of alternative approaches to health.
• Their adherence to mask wearing even though studies show it is ineffective at stopping the spread of infection and also damaging to health.

Governments and Mainstream Media are Championing Disinformation

More worrying are efforts around the world to establish so called disinformation offices devoted to

• attacking anyone who questions the safety of mRNA Covid vaccination
• issuing reassuring but patently false bulletins about Covid vaccination safety and effectiveness

The New Zealand government has joined in with “The National Centre of Research Excellence for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism” (yes, this does appear to be concerned with the investigation of anyone doubting the safety of mRNA Covid vaccination).

For a prime example of the doublespeak of disinformation officers, try the BBC’s very own Rachel Schraer who weighed in today with a graphic presentation entitled “Covid: Why do some vaccines protect you longer than others?”.

The bright and breezy Schraer (I couldn’t find her bio online) was “very sure that the jabs are safe and effective”, but unsure exactly how long they last for—somewhere between measles and influenza jabs she hazarded. 

No mention of any side effects and no mention of mRNA technology, just the reassuring generic term ‘vaccine’ and oblique references to what unnamed experts think (or possibly imagine?).

The saddest part of this is the fact that examination of the Pfizer documents gradually being released under court order shows that the adverse effects and the waning effectiveness, and much more worrying prospects such as suppression of the immune system or pregnancy complications, were known or suspected after the earliest Pfizer trial results, but hidden from the public.

It is a year since my best mate died from cardiac and immune suppression, conditions which he suddenly and unexpectedly acquired following Covid vaccination. We have not forgotten him.

Exposing the risk of genetic experimentation is still our priority. Nor have we forgotten the Wuhan Virology Lab and similar programmes around the world. Unfortunately, they have not forgotten either, recent publications show that the Wuhan lab is continuing to experiment with dangerous viruses.

Man-made viral experimental genetic material is mobile and invasive, it can reach you wherever you live. It can take control of life, your life, and change it irrevocably. Its ultimate effects are unknown and unknowable.

History shows us it cannot be safely contained in a lab indefinitely. The peril is ours, and we can’t pretend it doesn’t exist or even successfully hide from it.

We are already a long way down the road to ruin, but possibly it is still not too late to turn back. The only road back to safety involves pausing risky biotechnology experimentation immediately.

Someone from one of the major parties involved in the upcoming Tauranga by-election called me yesterday. There are twelve candidates in all. Three minor parties opposed to vaccine mandates say they are hoping for an upset result, but unfortunately, they have not united around a single candidate. Having listened to some political hopefuls, I reflect here on what this is all about.

The history of parliaments goes back to the Magna Carta which was pretty much forced on King John by his disgruntled barons. In essence, King John felt he had a divine right to rule—he could regulate, punish, and tax the population pretty much as he saw fit, and he did so with abandon. Modern parliaments have quietly slipped into King John’s way of thinking.

The Magna Carta affirmed that the King had to take account of the wishes of the people, it acknowledged that citizens had a right to worship and conduct their business freely, and crucially said that the King was not above the law:

“No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.”

What Is the Law of the Land Referred to Here?

Law has three components:

• Parliamentary law
• Common law
• Natural law

All of which play a role in modern jurisprudence.

Parliamentary laws are those on the statute books. New laws are passed by each elected parliament according to the wishes of a majority of MPs.

Common Law comprises a number of rights stemming from the Magna Carta and subsequent judicial rulings and conventions on human rights. In essence, Common Law is intended to ensure the dealings between individuals and between people and the state are fair and just. It also underpins our right to engage in our chosen profession or trade. It guarantees freedoms such as the right to worship and freedom of movement.

Natural Law combines all the laws of nature described by physics, chemistry, biology, etc. Natural law is often described by religious people as God’s Will.

NZ Parliament Behaves as if It Is Above the Law

My advice to anyone aspiring to be elected to represent Tauranga is that we already have laws which need to be scrupulously observed. The problem is that our parliament, just like King John, has begun to consider that it is above the law.

New Zealand has its Bill of Rights, but its provisions for free medical choice have been ignored.

New Zealand describes itself as a Common Law democracy but the government has denied employment opportunities and other freedoms to a large section of the population through coercive mandates and restrictions.

Natural Law has also been ignored. Evolutionary safeguards embodied in our DNA have been altered through experimental mRNA techniques without regard to the risks involved or the science.

The result has been that almost the whole population has been subjected to medical risk and injury.

I suggest that anyone concerned should print out a copy of the main provisions of the New Zealand Bill of Rights and display them prominently at their home and their place of business.

The New Zealand Bill of Rights Guarantees:

• Right not to be deprived of life or subjected to cruel treatment
• Right not to be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation
• Right to refuse to undergo medical treatment
• Freedom of thought, conscience, religion, and belief
• Freedom of peaceful assembly, association, and movement
• Right to justice, liberty, and freedom from discrimination

If you talk to Tauranga candidates, remind them that our current laws, both ancient and modern, need to be observed, no ifs or buts.

This morning Jacinda Ardern received an honorary doctorate from Harvard University, hitting out in her acceptance speech against keyboard warriors spreading disinformation:

“When facts are turned into fiction, and fiction turned into fact, you stop debating ideas and you start debating conspiracy.”

Was she echoing Orwell’s 1984?

“His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies…to repudiate morality while laying claim to it,…to believe that the Party was the guardian of democracy.”

Ardern continued with a sordid use of imagery worthy of Orwell:

“In my mind, when I read something especially horrific on my feed, I imagine it’s written by a lone person, unacquainted with personal hygiene practices, dressed in a poorly fitted superhero costume – one that is baggy in all the wrong places.”

I Have to Be Cruel to Be Kind

Ardern said her speech was about kindness, presumably that special brand of kindness that is hard to recognise. As Hamlet said after berating his mother “I have to be cruel to be kind”.

Was Ardern’s brand of kindness at work when she famously deleted in a single night 33,000 comments on her feed informing her of personal stories of the adverse effects of Covid vaccination?

Ardern might just as well have entitled her speech: “I have sat on my hands and refused to read my emails. I insist that other MPs do the same. I am the sole source of truth. The world needs this.”

The historical antecedents of the rejection of protestors, writers, and intellectuals as irrelevant, dirty, and dangerous spreaders of disease and disinformation certainly escaped Ardern and probably most Harvard graduates. The 1930s don’t feature much in modern curricula.

Ignorance is No Excuse

As all cause mortality rises, as another new study shows the immune system of the vaccinated exhibits dangerous antibody instability, as infections and hospitalisations among the vaccinated overtake the unvaccinated, we no longer need to speculate about where this is going.

History tells us that it will end badly for many. An outcome of which Ardern appears to be determined to remain ignorant and condemn as conspiracy without discussion—by government decree.

But of course, it is much worse than mere ignorance, as Sir Walter Scott said:

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”

Master of Disinformation

Ardern is a master of disinformation, coercion, and suppression. Her continuing (but thankfully waning) popularity is a reflection of her practice of controlling the media through continuing large cash grants and revenue from saturation Covid vaccination advertising (aka old fashioned bribery).

As a result, New Zealanders are dying in greater numbers not only unaware that this may have anything to do with Covid vaccination but actually told by the government that it does not and cannot.

The cardiac wards are overflowing, but governments are not letting on. In the history of mass poisoning, there is no parallel in the world.

When Is a Crime Not a Crime?

When the government says so. This happens when the government and the medical profession not only cannot be held accountable for their actions but wilfully exploit this loophole to the full.

We have reached the apogee of the era of unaccountably disregarded consequences for which Ardern is the unapologetic international poster child.

Ardern’s Harvard speech reportedly generated emotional rapture. She received a standing ovation. What does that mean for our future and the future of the world?

Government policies in many countries including New Zealand have unnecessarily stoked negative feelings. This in turn has had a negative effect on economic conditions.

In times of social anxiety, people stockpile goods and seek to recoup actual and imagined trading losses or goods shortages through increased prices.

Uncertain conditions also magnify opportunities for unscrupulous traders to engage in price gouging which is reflected in the current large cost of living rises.

Quality of Life Is the Main Priority of All Economic Policy

My Ph.D. thesis focused on the influence of human factors on the global economy and national competitive advantage. I tracked over 200 social and economic indicators during a seven-year period in 46 developed nations.

One interesting result was the large positive effect of participation in meditation practice on quality of life and economic vibrancy.

Daily meditation practice reduces anxiety and anger, increases creativity, and greatly improves health. The pandemic has been characterised by increases in essentially opposite qualities.

The psychological profile of the pandemic includes increases in fear and anxiety, expressions of anger and disappointment, and a decline in general health and life expectancy.

All of these characteristics decrease the individual and collective ability to think clearly and creatively—essential components of economic success.

Economic fear snowballs in much the same way as a bear market sentiment does. Marginal increases in prices increase anxiety and drive a tendency to charge even higher prices.

In a Global Economy, the Effects Are Magnified Further

Pressures on fuel prices and reduced productivity due to lockdowns and regional conflicts only exacerbate the effects.

Government pandemic policies and pronouncements have been greatly influenced by medical administrators, epidemiologists, pharmacologists, and immunologists.

It is worth reflecting that 99% of the factors which have a positive preventive influence on health are related to our diet, environment, behaviour, and happiness. Medical interventions tend to be made in urgent or emergency situations.

The fearful psychology associated with emergency medical interventions has inevitably crept into the medical advice being given to and then offered by governments. This has influenced our economic expectations and activity.

The Covid pandemic is now realised to be on a par with flu epidemics, not with medical emergencies. To preserve the stability of the economy, governments should be rapidly cooling the pandemic fear factor and helping people to realise that we are no longer in an emergency situation. A great deal of reassuring data has been recently published.

Fight, Flight and Freeze!

Speculative and unsubstantiated talk of future variants, new pandemics, resurgence of infections, and exaggerated Covid mortality, which have been especially prevalent in New Zealand and many other countries, leads to a panicked approach to everyday life and instability in economic relations.

Moreover, this acts to freeze larger scale private and public innovative economic initiatives and projects, as anxious people tend to be risk averse. Anxiety pushes people towards a fight or flight psychology, looking for bolt holes rather than undertaking new projects.

Vaccination mandates have also had an effect on the workforce. They have resulted in a loss of highly qualified personnel in many sectors. We sometimes forget that marginal changes in economic and social parameters such as the skill base are strong drivers of economic performance or decline.

Unfounded Prejudices Against Unvaccinated

Moreover, the introduction of unfounded prejudices against unvaccinated people tend to create dysfunctional economic profiles that are characteristic of countries in the throes of conflict.

There is currently no statistically significant advantage of reduced infection, hospitalisation, or mortality conferred by mRNA Covid vaccination, and therefore no basis for this prejudice. The government needs to explain this honestly to the population and reopen all sectors to unvaccinated workers.

In New Zealand our tourism sector previously worth $38 billion per annum has virtually disappeared, it will not revive until the outward signs of fear, such as mask mandates and excessive testing, are scaled back. We need to welcome visitors, not scare them away.

The government’s health spending priorities were distorted during the pandemic on the advice of planners dazzled by the unsupported promise of risky biotechnology.

So far our government has spent nearly $100 billion on the Covid response. Far more than the entire health budget for all other conditions, actually on a par with the entire pre pandemic annual budget of the whole government. They plan to spend even more in the near future.

Our health services should broaden their focus back to a wider range of serious conditions and rebalance health priorities. These are ordinary considerations of a traditional health economics perspective. In addition, they should plan how to address the needs of those affected by vaccine injuries and long Covid.

The media needs to broaden their approach to reporting, away from an overwhelming focus on divisive pandemic fear mongering. They need to admit that some serious mistakes were made and apologise for their promotion of misinformation.

The fear economy will never evaporate until people are fully informed rather than manipulated.

Ultimately economic performance is strongly affected by both psychology and health. Government planners need to close the curtain on overhyped fearful pandemic advice and expenditure that is not founded on current scientific publishing. They need to cool down the collective temperature of society.
