The Platform: Rodney Hide speaks with Dr. Guy Hatchard on vaccines.
Ardern and Her Government Tighten Their Hold on Information Access in New Zealand
… and give us a glimpse into their enforcement methods.
Last week the government called for mask wearing to be enforced in New Zealand schools. Many schools have apparently decided to punish students who do not wear masks.
Asked whether she was happy that schools punished students who did not wear masks, Ardern ducked the question, denied the mandate, passed the buck, and still managed to appear happy for students to be punished. Ardern said:
“We are really open minded on this issue [???]. We in fact went back multiple times to education and health and said that ‘look if you believe we should bring that mask mandate back we are happy to do that. Whatever you think is going to be in the best interest of our learners, our schools, and our health outcomes’. They came back to us and said we should strongly encourage their use but we should still allow schools to implement the policies themselves. That’s where we have landed….We have not said mask wearing is compulsory, but we are strongly encouraging it.”
Watch the full interview here. There is plenty of spin but not a lot of ambiguity. Principals have been given a green light to dust off the detention book.
Some schools are giving students detention either during lunchtime or after school (the modern equivalent of writing out “I will wear my mask” a thousand times) which translates into loss of opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities and sports.
This should be unacceptable and is certainly deleterious to a student at any age and may result in them becoming alienated or adversely affected emotionally or socially.
Students go to school to learn and understand the process of verifying knowledge, to engage socially, and to further develop skills in communication; whereby they may debate and agree or disagree with one another, without the fear of being punished or discriminated against.
There is a considerable body of scientific evidence pointing to the ineffectiveness of masks to stop transmission. Longterm mask use also poses health risks and causes significant learning deficits.
Some parents, and hence their children, will be well aware of this.
A policy of punishment for non mask wearers, is the antithesis of a constructive learning environment and teaches, ‘comply without question or face a penalty.’
School attendance in New Zealand is already at an all time low. As a result of this, it is only going to fall further. The opportunities for constructive debate are fast disappearing in education and we can understand why many parents are turning their thoughts to homeschooling and homeschooling communities.
The problem here in New Zealand is that the general public is being deliberately kept in the dark about the ineffectiveness of masks and the dangers of prolonged mask wearing.
Most are following government advice thinking that they are protecting themselves and others from Covid. They are ending the day with a headache and a sore face, but sure that they have thereby saved the world.
A Glimpse Into Their Enforcement Methods
So far, the government has kept a tight hold on the Covid narrative by warning people that alternative news sources and social media conversations are full of misinformation, whilst government announcements are closely following ‘the science’.
They also give cash grants to MSM and advertise to the point of saturation.
That is all set to ramp up from today. The government has concluded a formal binding agreement with Meta (FB and Instagram), TikTok, Google (Gmail and YouTube), Amazon (Spark) and Twitter to limit the availability of harmful content including misinformation and disinformation in New Zealand.
In a world first, the code is described as ‘voluntary’, but it also includes a ‘commitment’ to being held ‘accountable’ which allows its provisions to be ‘enforced’.
How is that for doublespeak? And who is deciding what is harmful?
The mask mandate rules and the information censorship have something in common. The government is asking others to do their dirty work and then asking us to believe it has nothing to do with them. We are not naive, we already know how this works.
The agreement cleverly conflates things that we all feel should be controled such as child sexual exploitation and incitement to violence with rational discussions about drug safety and effectiveness.
YouTube has previously withdrawn Covid content from view at the private request of the Ministry of Health. Apparently, this can happen if any content causes the New Zealand government embarrassment.
I don’t suppose it has escaped your notice that internet censorship is a tool of oppressive governments. The dangers are becoming all too obvious in New Zealand, where the majority of the general public, who are subjected to saturation government advertising, still believe that regular mRNA boosters and flu shots offer protection for life that is stronger than natural immunity.
This is all taking on a macabre aspect as official Covid data here and in the EU is showing that boosted individuals are increasingly more likely to die with Covid than the unvaccinated are.
The apparent reluctance on the part of the government to engage with the implications of this official Covid data is seriously worrying. Governments traditionally have a general duty of care when it comes to policing public health measures.
This year has been one of the wettest on record. As a result, ants are coming into homes in record numbers, and you may have been struck with how expendable ant populations are.
Ant colonies appear to have a centralised administrative policy whereby any number of workers can be put at risk in the search for homes and food for queens.
A sort of ‘group think’ which starkly contrasts with human ethics wherein the individual is highly valued.
Here in New Zealand, we are 90% mRNA vaccinated and we currently have the highest rate of all cause mortality in the world. Even the Ministry of Health has admitted this is not because of Covid.
Yet if you follow the government advertising and press statements you will probably be unaware of this and happily sure that ‘the science’ is being followed.
I don’t need to draw conclusions for you here. If you are following the current Covid science journal publishing you will be well aware of mathematical arguments entirely based on collected data which are taking place within a rational framework. Ignoring or hiding these is dangerous.

The NZ Government Wrests Control of Our Children’s Vaccination Status With the Help of Family Court Judges
Stuff newspaper under its banner programme ‘The Whole Truth’, which is financially supported by the government, trumpeted its satisfaction yesterday with the headline: “Covid-19: Family Court declines mum’s bid to stop her daughter being vaccinated”
In the latest of six Family Court decisions promoting Covid-19 vaccination for minors, another judge, Sarah Jane Fleming, has followed suit by ruling that a 12 year old girl should receive Covid mRNA vaccination against the wishes of her mother. The judge supported the wish of the father to allow vaccination.
The judge decided to overrule the concerns of the mother regarding adverse effects of mRNA vaccination on younger persons (a matter of published medical evidence) saying: “There was no evidence the girl would be at serious risk of side effects or an adverse reaction” (watch this video to view evidence).
The judge further ignored medical advice that Covid poses little risk to children by speculating: “Of course, the longer-term effects of a child at this age contracting the virus are also largely unknown.”
Critically, neither are the longer term effects of the experimental biotech vaccine, although research is now pointing to sustained immune deficiency following mRNA vaccination.
The judge noted that the girl wanted to be vaccinated as “she wanted to participate in competitions and go to the movies” and described her as a “mature and thoughtful child” who had decided that vaccination was “the right thing to do.”
The girl had had a string of arguments with her mother, who, according to the court hearing, was seeking to ‘manipulate’ her daughter. The Stuff article referred to the mother as ‘the woman.’
Is this just a case of the family courts settling a dispute between estranged parents or is there a deeper principle at issue?
Who is actually stopping the young girl from going to the movies and participating in school competitions? It is not the mother; this is the direct result of New Zealand government mandates and instructions to school principals. It is the government who is manipulating.
In fact the girl is not taking a ‘mature and thoughtful’ decision as required by the Child Care Act, she is reacting to draconian government mandates. Her response is understandable. What young person wouldn’t want to undertake ordinary activities with her peers?
In this case, the child proved unable to fully rationalise the situation objectively and instead blamed her mother. Anyone who has taught 12 year olds, will tell you that failure to weigh up causal factors is typical of this age group. The judge did not acknowledge this, but instead blamed the mother.
Thus the Family Court sided with the government by overruling the necessity for parents and guardians to make informed joint decisions about their children’s health. This is symptomatic of a growing arrogance on the part of the government and its courts.
There seems to be little comprehension of how much the stability of the wider society depends on the integrity of the family unit. This dangerous trend, which places children at risk, has accelerated during the pandemic.
Government policy in New Zealand allows 12+ year olds to consent to be vaccinated at school without the permission or presence of either parent. This is a case of the government suggesting to children that they can overrule their parents in matters of health. Thus weakening the bond between parent and child that is a, if not the, crucial element of child development and safety.
Covid vaccination is not a lone government intervention. Vaping has taken off among young people based on government recommendations that it is a safe alternative to smoking. It is increasingly clear that vaping is affecting health. According to a survey of 19,000 NZ school children in November 2021, more than a quarter now vape regularly.
Last week the government advised school principals to enforce mask wearing for students despite copious evidence that mask wearing is ineffective at stopping transmission, impairs physical and mental development, and harms the health of the young. Some teachers report that the damage is irreparable.
During 1991, I managed an earthquake relief project in the Soviet Union. I experienced first hand the effect of government childhood intervention. Students were assigned to career paths from an early age. Most ended up as square pegs in round holes, bored with their assigned daytime career whilst moonlighting during the evenings doing something more suitable.
We should be aware of the extremes of what can happen when children are encouraged by the state to overrule their parents’ ideas. This happened during the 1930s in Germany when children were directly pressured to enrol in Nazi youth movements. It fostered a moral vaccuum which eventually helped to normalise the cruelties of the holocaust.
The underlying assumption of our government that they know ‘what is best for children’ is not supported by prior experience. A 2022 investigation found that the government child care agency, Oranga Tamariki, recorded 486 incidences of harm to children under its care during the preceding 12 months. 1 out of every 12 children in care. A scandal that has rocked the nation. These vulnerable children should have been safe, they were not.
When placed in positions of authority over children, the state takes an impersonal approach which mandates the same for everyone in education and health, whereas parents try hard to satisfy the individual needs of their family members.
Our government appears to be determined to undermine the necessary family responsibilities and structures which underpin development and maintenance of stable and adaptive social relationships throughout society. Parental guidance and choice are essential elements of a successful and thriving diverse society.
We are eagerly awaiting the first High Court ruling on vaccine mandates for children and hope the judge diverges from the Family Court rulings to date.
The Consequences of Putting Medical Professionals in Charge of Pandemic Policy
Putting Medical Professionals in Charge of Pandemic Policy Has Been a Prescription for Both a Health Disaster and an Economic Catastrophe.
This week the public narrative changed dramatically. What are the lessons for our future?
The cat is out of the bag. MSM, governments, and health authorities have begun to acknowledge that Covid vaccines don’t work and cause serious health problems.
Worse still, pandemic policy is set to injure many more.
Even CDC director Rochelle Walensky has reportedly admitted ‘hope’ (yes hope) played an important role in their assessment of vaccine efficacy and, thereby, policy formation.
The German government warns that 1 in 5000 suffer serious side effects (just remember this is likely to be a gross underestimate which, in any case, omits long term effects).
The Israeli government has been caught hiding the extent of vaccine injury among children.
The Guardian newspaper, a bastion of vaccine orthodoxy, has conceded that prior infection not Covid vaccination offers the best protection against infection.
If you haven’t already seen it, watch Tucker Carlson on Fox News query the official US narrative, (and he references published science).
Fortunately for us, no one is going to be able to suppress this trend towards honesty, however hard they try, because it is increasingly difficult to ignore, hide, or spin Covid data from around the world.
The Austrian government, under pressure to explain what went wrong with their Covid policy, has apparently decided to blame doctors.
Are doctors at fault? Certainly the pandemic has taught us just how dangerous it is to hand control of public policy to medical professionals who receive a highly specialised but very narrow training.
Medical Professionals Have No Idea How Economic Systems Work.
A paper in SSRN journal concludes:
“It has become increasingly clear that an important negative side-effect of the most aggressive [pandemic] response strategies may involve a steep increase in poverty, hunger, and inequalities”
The New York Post summarises a range of data:
“The data shows lockdowns end more lives than they save”
CNN has offered:
“The pandemic has pushed nearly 100 million people into poverty. They’re struggling to escape”
The United Nations concludes:
“COVID-related hunger could kill more people than the virus…as the health crisis becomes an economic one, funding shortfalls and supply chain issues could see millions more die of hunger.”
The New Zealand government has spent more than $70 billion dollars on its pandemic response, more than half of an entire year’s revenue. This is borrowed money which will have to be repaid by our children. Most of this expenditure has been directed towards economically unproductive activity.
Economic systems involve networks composed of individual workers, creatives, growers, investors, assets, producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers spread across a very wide range of sectors.
Like climatic systems, economic systems are very complex and they are sensitive to marginal changes in their component parts which can drive unexpected outcomes.
From a limited and myopic medical perspective, sacking a highly qualified professional because they are unvaccinated may appear to make sense, but the economic consequences of even small losses in the nation’s skill base can be devastating.
Witness the near collapse of the New Zealand medical system. We lost a few thousand medical professionals to vaccine mandates. Has this played a part? Undoubtedly.
Was it necessary or helpful? No. We now know that unvaccinated individuals create a strong pool of natural immunity after initial infection which would have been a huge asset in our health system.
Medical Interference in Economic Policy Has Been a Disaster
Repeat mandates across the whole economic spectrum, toss in lockdowns and stay at home orders, and you have a prescription for economic chaos.
Discover that vaccines don’t actually work and even lower the immunity of the workforce, and you have entered a generational economic downturn.
Find that vaccines reduce the birth rate and increase all-cause mortality among working age people, and you have cancelled the stability of the world’s economic system altogether. That includes the world’s food supply system that is already under threat from climate change.
There are far more frightening potential consequences of the pandemic that are starting to come under scientific scrutiny. Immune deficiency resulting from Covid vaccination could well drive big surges in cancer incidence, the jury is still out.
Neurological and psychological deficits caused by invasive mRNA gene techniques remain unexplored. We are enrolled in a foolhardy gamble and the medical profession has mandated us to accept poor odds.
Of course, doctors and pharmaceutical systems are fighting back. The narrow economic imperatives of their sector—profits, high salaries, grants, drug and vaccine sales and incentives, all of which are associated with pandemic-focused government policy—are too tempting to give up, but given up they must be if we are to regain some prospect of economic stability.
The Medical System has Expanded Beyond the Limits of Safe Practice
This is not an exclusive product of the pandemic; it has a long history.
The WHO, medical and drug regulation, doctor training and practice, government support, medical orthodoxy and ‘ethics’ form a closely intertwined economic system that has over the years drifted away from any liability for mistakes and adverse outcomes.
This has been an assumption of power over life and death without consequences. The policing of the system has failed us. Medical misadventure became the third leading cause of death even before the pandemic.
Despite this, government policy is currently at the behest of medical czars. Covid was likely created by medical researchers, the dangerous and ultimately useless Covid vaccines certainly were.
Their combined effects are driving a steep downturn in longevity and with it economic productivity. Sadly the medical profession seems content to turn a blind eye to these outcomes in a show of contempt for human life and their hippocratic oath.
The standing of the medical profession has been eroded by their own disregard for science and ethics. The pandemic has been very much their own collective creation.
First among the subsequent mistakes has been a determination to use the pandemic as an opportunity to enforce their epidemiological orthodoxy on everyone irrespective of the introduction of risky novel biotechnology and irrespective of what the public data has been progressively revealing.
The belief that the sprawling self-interested medical system could or should dictate government policy to the exclusion of dissenting voices was a fatal mistake. We are now reaping the inevitable and devastating economic, social, and health outcomes. These are set to carry on for years.
Reform of medical systems and a reduction in their power is necessary.
- This must include the restoration of free medical choice, caution, and accountability.
- It must include a pause in risky biotech experiments.
- It must include a reassessment of the scientific criteria of medical efficacy.
- This must take account of quality of life outcomes and more stringent safety considerations.
The longer remedial action is postponed, the more social and economic pain will result.
Pandemic Policy is Not Based on Science, So What Is It Based on?
For the last year, the Hatchard Report has been publishing discussions carefully referenced to published scientific papers. These reveal an evolving picture.
Unfortunately, government policy has remained fairly static over the course of the year and has consequently become detached from the scientific record.
The questions everyone is asking: “How could this have happened?” and, more importantly, “Why is it still happening?” and finally, “Will I survive this madness?”.
It is Important Not to Lose Contact with Commonsense
New Zealand has simultaneously the world’s highest rate of both vaccination and Covid. Record levels of all cause mortality. Unprecedented rates of vaccination adverse effects. A failing hospital system overwhelmed with a great variety of health conditions, much of which is unrelated to Covid.
Draw your own conclusions, it is not very difficult is it?
It is all too obvious that something has gone terribly wrong with our pandemic policy but the government is obstinately clinging to its course. Today enforcing compulsory mask wearing in schools. Tomorrow, who knows what they will do?
Scientists around the world are becoming noticeably more cautious about endorsing mRNA vaccines; some are openly changing sides.
The German government has officially admitted a high rate of serious adverse effects following mRNA vaccination and encouraged its citizens to seek help.
Despite this, anyone publicly stating the obvious is still being cancelled by social media giants (YouTube, Google, FB, Twitter), MSM, and the pharmaceutical PR machine. Even sharing scientific papers might get your account deleted.
It all has a disturbing ring of unreality doesn’t it? It either makes you laugh or cry.
Don’t worry, the tide is turning, a sense of desperation is creeping into the pro-mRNA narrative.
These are some common tropes that we fact check:
This is only a preprint paper, therefore it is not peer reviewed, so its conclusions must be suspect.
FALSE: Actually almost all Covid publishing is preprint. There are very good reasons for this, Covid mutates so quickly that papers would be out of date if they had to go through the lengthy peer review process before seeing the light of day. In any case, preprint papers are strictly vetted by journals.
It was a study done on mice, so it doesn’t apply to humans.
FALSE: Lots of studies are done on animals as a precursor to assessing the risks for humans. It is standard procedure.
mRNA vaccine does work because it is actually a therapeutic vaccine designed to alleviate symptoms.
FALSE: The term ‘therapeutic vaccine’ was first used in 2010 and is limited to certain experimental pharmaceuticals designed to aid treatment programmes for diseases such as HIV. They are administered after infection. mRNA vaccines are administered before infection.
My eye drops say they could cause irritation to one in every thousand and I use them every day without harm, so even if the vaccine has side effects it is actually very safe.
FALSE: People aren’t dying after using eye drops, as they are after mRNA vaccination.
mRNA vaccination prevents long covid
FALSE: studies show vaccination reduces incidence of long covid by only 14%, which is negligible especially when weighed against the high risk of adverse effects.
Our hospitals are overwhelmed by unvaccinated Covid patients. I am so glad that I am fully vaccinated otherwise my Covid symptoms would have been worse.
FALSE: the rate of hospitalisation per 100,000 boosted individuals exceeds that of the unvaccinated.
mRNA vaccines cannot affect the DNA in your liver because the studies were done in vitro and don’t apply to real life
FALSE: In vitro studies are routinely taken as key indicators of potential human effects.
You’ll have a hard time proving that vaccines cause harm. Temporal association doesn’t amount to causality
FALSE: Temporal association has traditionally been considered the primary indicator of causality.
Herd immunity is a conspiracy theory
FALSE: It is a highly verified epidemiological concept. Unvaccinated people are 97% protected from reinfection after their first Covid inflection, but the vaccinated remain vulnerable due to mRNA vaccine induced immune deficiency.
Masks prevent transmission and infection
FALSE: New Zealand is masked up. Go figure.
Unvaccinated people are reservoirs of infection, they are passing on Covid to others even if they have no symptoms
FALSE: We are getting very silly now, but some New Zealand GPs are circulating this mush.
It is a curious feature of pandemic times that some scientists and medicos want us to transfer our allegiance from our time-honoured cultural, educational, sacred, and scientific traditions, to their own inventions and imaginings.
They want to deny the existence of cultural diversity, scientific inquiry, natural remediation, and ethical morality in favour of their own dictated absolutes. Now their view of health is falling apart.
We Are in What Physicists Might Call a ‘phase Transition’
As the reality of poor and dangerous outcomes of pandemic policy begins to sink home, a period of confusion, disbelief, and desperation is becoming more general.
The potential profits and income from pandemic products and services is beginning to look far less desirable even to its beneficiaries who are looking over their shoulders as Covid catches up with them.
It is a time to stand firm, to hold on to the Self, to remember traditions and historical lessons. A time to understand science as a process of verification rather than a dogma. A time to rekindle our understanding of the sanctity of life.
In the end truth alone triumphs.
Face Off on Face Masks
Professors Michael Baker and Siouxsie Wiles are currently going all in on mask wearing.
Baker has likened the unmasked to “murderers” and “drunk drivers” (???).
Prime Minister Ardern is being widely rebuked for a photo op at the Beehive of a very large unmasked group. Her excuse:
“the photographer
made me do it”.
A Japanese report published by Nature on July 18 2022 entitled “Bacterial and fungal isolation from face masks under the COVID-19 pandemic” should raise eyebrows and lower face masks further.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so try Figure 5. These are the organisms found growing on face masks:
Note the pathogenicity column. These are dangerous for humans. The authors say:
“Since masks can be a direct source of infection to the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and skin, it is crucial to maintain their hygiene to prevent bacterial and fungal infections that can exacerbate COVID-19.”
The study found:
“We observed bacterial colonies in 99% of the samples on the face-side and 94% on the outer-side….We found no significant differences in the colony counts among the different mask types [non-woven, polyurethane, and gauze or cloth], regardless of the duration of usage.”
Forget ordinary washing, nothing short of prolonged boiling can get rid of these pathogens. Even frequent mask changes are ineffective, pathogens rapidly reappear, as fabric surfaces provide ideal homes for their colonies.
The authors concluded:
“We propose that immunocompromised people should avoid repeated use of masks to prevent microbial infection.”
Reports indicate that our hospitals are swamped with cases of respiratory illness. Is prolonged mask use exacerbating the situation? Very probably.
mRNA vaccination has been associated with immune deficiency….
Evidence for mask use is at best weak and contradictory. To assess the counter arguments read this. The Japanese report is one more nail in the coffin. The damaging effects on children’s development is also well known.
But if you listened to Michael Baker’s multiple mainstream media interviews (see this for example) over the last week you wouldn’t be aware that there is any doubt on the subject of mask wearing.
He is going full tilt at Ardern to mandate them for school children, no exemptions, and he is getting plenty of sympathetic coverage in MSM. Is she going to give in? You never know.
As we reported yesterday, there are some sad truths here. Many of our experts are falling behind when it comes to reading the latest studies, or if they do read them, dogma ensures they only see what they want to see.
Government funding distorts actions and advice further. Who in New Zealand is going to willingly give up generous government grants and payments in order to tell it how it is?
At this point, New Zealand appears to be facing a science crisis. Some experts might benefit from a break to restudy, recharge, and reassess what works and what doesn’t according to the published science record.
How the Nz Government Misleads Us Through Payments to Msm and Others
Spot the difference between a government funded mainstream newspaper summarising a Covid journal paper and an independent physician/medical educator.
On July 14th Stuff newspaper Keith Lynch Explainer Editor and Kate Newton Senior Data Journalist authored an article “Covid-19 NZ: Why the rising tide of cases doesn’t tell the whole story”. This was a long article attempting to analyse the current Covid wave in New Zealand.
The article references a preprint study from Qatar entitled: “Protection of SARS-CoV-2 natural infection against reinfection with the Omicron BA.4 or BA.5 subvariants” which analyses Covid outcomes depending on the subject’s prior vaccination and infection history.
mRNA Vaccination Ultimately Increases Vulnerability to Covid
The real substance of the referenced large Qatar study was very interesting but simply not reported by Stuff.
The study found that over the space of just three months, protection against Covid infection from either two mRNA doses or boosters becomes negligible (below 10% effectiveness) and then heads off into negative territory.
In other words, the study implies if you persist in continuing with boosters, you become progressively more vulnerable to Covid infection than before you had any vaccination.
And it’s a double whammy; from other studies, we additionally know that vulnerability to adverse effects such as heart disease increases with each vaccination.
This underlines the now well established science that mRNA Covid vaccination damages your immune system.
When Missing Information Becomes Misinformation
Back in March, Kate Newton wrote “Covid-19: The charts that show why a booster is so important”. At the time, Kate’s article featured Covid hospitalisation charts showing boosters looking incredibly effective and the unvaccinated very vulnerable.
Curiously, in the latest article, Stuff appears to have moved on from discussions promoting boosters.
So why no mention of Covid hospitalisation statistics versus vaccination status?
Presumably, Kate Newton, as Stuff’s Senior Data Journalist, is still following Covid data, so she will know, as we reported two days ago, that the position has since been reversed.
Boosted individuals are currently looking very vulnerable, while the unvaccinated have acquired a significant degree of immunity, significantly greater than boosted individuals.
Instead of discussing vaccination, the Stuff article concentrates on a single piece of data from the very detailed and extensive Qatar study:
“A pre-Omicron infection, the study suggests, offers very little protection against BA.5, but it notes the “effectiveness of a previous infection against symptomatic BA.4/BA.5 reinfection was 76%”
In other words, the study found that if you are vaccinated and caught BA.1 or BA.2, you are 76% protected from catching BA.4 or BA.5 or conversely 24% likely to catch Omicron again.
If you caught Delta and are vaccinated, you have no additional immune protection from the latest Omicron variants. This is, I think you will agree, a rather underwhelming piece of information.
The Unvaccinated are Vindicated by Qatar Studies
Stuff received money from our government to support their programme to target vaccine ‘misinformation’ under their banner The Whole Truth.
I am not sure that the rapidly decreasing vaccination effectiveness data from Qatar would fit in very well, which was perhaps why it didn’t get a mention.
As we reported two days ago another study from the same authors in Qatar found that the unvaccinated are 97.3% protected from severe Covid reinfection if they have already had a previous infection with any form of Covid (not just BA.1 or BA.2 but also including Alpha and Delta).
If you put the two Qatar studies together, there is an inescapable conclusion which is being carefully hidden from the public by our government.
If you compare the outcomes for the vaccinated and unvaccinated, it is clear that the unvaccinated emerge way better off. They made the right choice.
Savvy Medical Commentators are Deserting a Sinking Ship
If you want to see the Qatar articles discussed and analysed in detail by a respected physician (something I wholeheartedly recommend if you want to move away from misleading summaries in MSM), I suggest you watch Dr. Mobeen Syed‘s latest video on his highly respected medical education channel.
Dr. Mobeen Syed is vaccinated himself and initially supported mRNA Covid vaccination policy.
Being a serious and highly respected scientist and physician pioneering high quality health education, he and his team have continued to follow and report on the Covid data as it has accumulated.
According to Dr Syed, this is showing a lack of effectiveness, increasing reinfections, and a growing catalogue of adverse effects.
Dr. Syed concluded that the US authorities should withdraw support for mRNA Covid vaccination and rethink their policies.
The Stuff article went on to discuss the increasing vulnerability of older age groups to the latest Omicron variants in New Zealand. It also notes that all cause mortality is rising. It concludes:
“This all touches on that somewhat bizarre Covid paradox – avoiding infection (particularly for the most vulnerable) is clearly a good thing but at the same time infection, when combined with vaccination, adds to an immunity pool that protects the population.”
This is both obscure and sort of comforting, but in fact, the Qatar studies do not support Stuff’s conclusion that vaccination protects population immunity.
Together the studies point to a completely contradictory conclusion:
Only prior infection without vaccination is creating long lasting immunity.
According to medical staff, our health service is overwhelmed and in danger of collapse. The government would be quite happy if the public concluded this is all due to Covid.
As we reported ten days ago, admissions because of Covid form a small fraction of the hospital workload. The health crisis is not the result of Covid, but it could well be the result of mRNA vaccination.
It is time for the government and the media to come clean to the New Zealand public—mRNA vaccination is not working. It is progressively causing adverse effects and immune deficiency. The vaccination programme needs to be paused.
This should include an end to:
- misleading saturation government advertising
- cash grants to vaccinate to individuals and community groups
- all vaccine mandates including those affecting medical professionals
- vaccine promotion and administration fees to GPs
- grants given to MSM to support government pandemic policy
These costly financial policies are disincentivizing access to reliable scientific assessments and distorting public perceptions about healthy choices.
The government is wasting public funds to avoid political embarrassment. In the process they are recklessly endangering the health of the public and damaging the economy.
Self-spreading Vaccines are Coming for You
Self-spreading vaccines are coming for you: Are we entering an age of super medicine or a zombie apocalypse?
Pfizer spends more money on public relations (read ‘paid articles’ and ‘political lobbying’) than it does on research and development, which is one reason why, when you read mainstream media or listen to politicians, you might think that mRNA vaccination has been a great success and should be expanded.
Well, it has been a financial success; Pfizer earns close to $1,000 every second from mRNA vaccine sales—a total of $36 billion in 2021 and currently growing fast.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t we measure the success of medicines by how healthy we become?
Looking around the world, we have reported on rising all-cause mortality and birth rates dropping. The stark conclusion: mRNA vaccines are promising a new age, but not the sort we are going to enjoy.
Hot investment money is pouring into biotech research efforts in the hope of even higher profits from a range of products promised to cure everything from leading killers—cancer and heart disease, to acne.
Just one problem, these products don’t actually exist; efforts to create them are currently being carried on in the upside down world of Stranger Things laboratories.
The processes designed to create these products are in fact rather scary and certainly dangerous, but they are usually safely wrapped up in language that is incomprehensible to the layperson.
Try for example this paper written just before the pandemic describing experimental vaccine design and delivery protocols.
Let me translate just a little: research to design new vaccines involves combining parts of viruses and pathogens together along with some chemical adjuvants with a view to evading the defensive mechanisms of our immune system and then changing how it works.
What could possibly go wrong? Is it inconceivable that they would escape their laboratory home?
Scary answer: they are going to be deliberately released.
You may think that anyone so inclined can continue to refuse vaccines (even if it means they lose their job as a result of mandates) well think again.
Biotechnology research has ranged into exotic territory designed to control your life without you even realising what is going on.
For two decades scientists have been sporadically doing research to create new highly contagious diseases containing vaccines which covertly inoculate whole populations without them even getting near a needle.
Suddenly this research has accelerated in order to bypass the ‘problem’ of vaccine hesitancy. Reportedly around a dozen institutions in the UK, US and Europe are involved.
National Geographic reported on March 19 2022:
“Imagine a cure that’s as contagious as the disease it fights—a vaccine that could replicate in a host’s body and spread to others nearby, quickly and easily protecting a whole population from microbial attacks. That’s the goal of several teams around the world who are reviving controversial research to develop self-spreading vaccines.”
“Researchers are currently developing self-spreading vaccines for Ebola, bovine tuberculosis, and Lassa fever, a viral disease spread by rats that causes upward of 300,000 infections annually in parts of West Africa. The approach could be expanded to target other zoonotic diseases, including rabies, West Nile virus, Lyme disease, and the plague.”
Jonas Sandbrink, a biosecurity researcher at the University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute argues that the viruses used in these vaccines could themselves easily mutate, jump species, or set off a chain reaction with devastating effects across entire ecosystems.
“Once you set something engineered and self-transmissible out into nature, you don’t know what happens to it and where it will go. Even if you just start by setting it out into animal populations, part of the genetic elements might find their way back into humans.”
Just one problem with this cautionary quote: for ‘might’ read ‘will’. The pandemic has taught us that genetic material is more highly mobile and invasive than anyone ever imagined.
The Epoch Times reports that in 2019, the UK government began exploring this self-spreading vaccine technology to address the seasonal flu.
A research paper from its Department of Health and Social Care (yes, Social Care) advised that university students could be an obvious target group:
“They do not work, so [vaccinating them] will not cause much economic disruption and most have second homes to go to, thereby spreading the vaccine.”
Researchers admitted that a contagious vaccine for an attenuated flu virus would cause some deaths but estimated these would be less than the original influenza virus. As the UK government report described:
“Self-spreading vaccines are less lethal but not non-lethal: they can still kill. Some people will die who would otherwise have lived, though fewer people die overall.”
I want you to take careful note of the use of the word ‘estimate’. How many times have estimates described by so-called experts and modellers been wildly wrong during the pandemic? You tell me, I’ve lost count.
This is the hundredth article I have written about the pandemic, but I am almost lost for words here. Biotechnology research has crossed the rubicon. The line supposedly separating bioweapons from vaccines has been blurred if not completely dissolved.
Have you ever watched true crime? If you have, you will be aware that criminologists believe that serial killers are in search of control. The sense of power over their victims is intoxicating to them.
Any scientist who is prepared to not only risk the genetic basis of human civilization, but also ensure that no one can escape their net, shares the twisted outlook of the serial killer combined with the means to affect millions supported by government grants and predatory investors.
Most people sitting at home are very glad they feel secure and remote from the potential cruelties of those who are mentally deranged and violent.
The lesson of today’s press release and the pandemic in general has been that we can no longer feel safe in our own homes.
There are biotech scientists, lost to the danger of their work, who are determined to invade our privacy and our bodies. There is only one exit strategy, call for biotechnology research to be paused.
Is the Small Kingdom of Qatar About to Change Global Pandemic Policy?
Remarkably some scientists in Qatar working with counterparts in New York have undertaken a study asking vital questions.
They decided to study only the unvaccinated.
Objectively considered, what they discovered should change the exclusively pro-mRNA vaccination policies which currently dominate the entire world.
90% of Qataris are vaccinated, but the authors tracked several hundred thousand unvaccinated individuals and studied how well they were protected from infection, reinfection, and serious Covid illness.
The authors began by noting that:
“The future of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic hinges on virus evolution and duration of immune protection of natural infection against reinfection.”
In other words: How well does natural immunity work?
They found:
“Effectiveness of primary infection against severe, critical, or fatal COVID-19 reinfection was 97.3% (95% CI: 94.9- 98.6%), irrespective of the variant of primary infection or reinfection, and with no evidence for waning. Similar results were found in subgroup analyses for those ≥50 years of age.”
The authors concluded that protection at this 97.3% level will last for three years, possibly longer depending on the course of Covid viral evolution.
The resounding significance of this is:
Once infected by Covid, if you are unvaccinated, you are very highly protected from serious illness even if reinfected.
Following initial infection, Covid becomes no more dangerous to the unvaccinated than other corona viruses such as the common cold.
Conversely, an unrelated study of five million clients of US Veterans Affairs health services found that for the vaccinated, reinfection resulted in more serious health outcomes than their initial infection.
In other words, vaccination including boosters did not decrease the risk of reinfection but did increase the severity of symptoms. Nor did vaccination provide any more protection against reinfection than the unvaccinated had.
These two studies are not strictly comparable in every sense because the two groups being studied are demographically very different from one another.
For example, the US Veterans were already enrolled in a health support programme which suggests that a proportion of them might already be ill.
Nevertheless, the two studies together should correct the current presumption of governments that mRNA vaccination is the only way out of the pandemic.
Governments are Promoting More mRNA Vaccination Without Adequate Evidence of Effectiveness
Yesterday outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced new measures to encourage boosters and said the rollout will ‘keep our defences strong’ over autumn and winter and ensure ‘Covid can never haunt us in the same way again’.
Last week Canadian Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos told reporters:
“Canadians will be required to get a booster shot every nine months for the foreseeable future….If you’ve already received a first booster, that’s great, but check if you are eligible for a second or third booster.”
Three days ago the New Zealand government announced they are finalising arrangements for NZers to receive boosters at even shorter intervals.
These statements illustrate how politicians everywhere and their health advisors have become detached from the realities of Covid science research publishing.
The unvaccinated continue to be blamed for the ills of the pandemic—they remain convenient scapegoats—while boosters have been accepted as the gold standard approach.
Yet the latest study from Qatar shows the unvaccinated have made a generally wise choice which, assuming they survived initial infection as almost everyone does, is going to protect them moving ahead into future years.
Whereas the vaccinated appear to be facing health challenges which are possibly only going to get worse.
The principal error of governments and their advisors early on in the pandemic was to accept an unsupported doctrine created by mRNA vaccine manufacturers that many serious outcomes following Covid vaccination were unrelated to vaccination.
Vaccine trial results and post-vaccine reporting showed that a significant number of participants suffered from a wide range of conditions including heart disease, strokes, neurological illness, auto-immune disease, sudden onset cancers, kidney and liver disease, and many others. Most of these were dismissed as unrelated to vaccination.
It was a misleading and fatal error on the part of governments to accept these assurances of vaccine manufacturers without undertaking sufficient independent assessment.
Now we have arrived at a state of double jeopardy. Covid has gone through viral evolution which has significantly bypassed the protection of mRNA vaccination.
Conjointly the long term adverse effects of mRNA vaccination appear to be dramatically raising all cause mortality even among working age people.
Politicians seem sadly out of touch and unable to process this information, they are still pointing to mRNA vaccination as the only way ahead.
New Zealand Data Shows That Boosters Wane Very Rapidly and Are Associated With Increased Mortality
New Zealand data on deaths with Covid points to some underlying trends. People who stopped at just one or two doses of mRNA vaccine appear to have gradually lowering mortality rates.
Back in March they accounted for 36% of the population but 49% of the deaths. In July they make up 33% of the population, but only 24% of the deaths.
Conversely in March the boosted made up 50% of the population but only 20% of the deaths, now in July they make up 52% of the population but 62% of the deaths. So they appear to be suffering increased mortality.
The unvaccinated made up 15% of the population in March but 31% of the deaths. In July they still make up 15% of the population but only 14% of the deaths. They appear to have gained a level of natural protection, possibly due to increased natural immunity.
Bear in mind that New Zealand is a small country, the absolute number of deaths is small and the figures here include deaths ‘with Covid’ rather than just deaths ‘because of Covid’.
These figures come directly from the NZ MoH but there are a number of statistical reporting inconsistencies which make these trends subject to significant margins of error.
These figures do not include deaths of people who have not had Covid within 28 days of their death. Therefore they do not include deaths of people who have suffered adverse reactions to Covid vaccination.
Please note all-cause mortality unrelated to Covid dwarves the rate of Covid deaths.
This data and recently published studies should be giving governments pause for thought, but a level of panic appears to have become attached to government thinking.
Announcing, as Boris Johnson did yesterday, that boosters will ensure ‘Covid can never haunt us in the same way again’ is plainly incorrect and misleading.
Moreover, prejudice against the unvaccinated of the sort that is being encouraged in many countries is misguided. The pandemic has become overly politicised.
There are too many vested financial and ideological interests seeking to control the narrative. Sorting out the successful way ahead is going to require cool heads and rational scientific assessment.
There are increasingly sound arguments to pause vaccination and undertake broader research that is not hobbled by preconceptions about mRNA vaccine safety. It seems increasingly likely that mRNA vaccination is contributing to immune deficiency.
Otherwise, governments will continue to adversely affect national longevity through policy that has failed to take account of evolving Covid science research.
Governments wield enormous influence over individual health decisions. It is their duty to exercise this power with great care, compassion, understanding, balance, and scientific insight. This is not currently the case.
Jacinda Ardern and Her Government Launch a Master Class in PR Spin
Two days ago, Jacinda Ardern said her government was about to make a significant Covid policy announcement.
Yesterday we were subjected to an hour long government extravaganza where a succession of expert politicians urged us yet again to wear masks (we already are), get boosted, leave our windows open (in winter), test frequently, and isolate (presumably whenever you feel a need to hide).
Several times we were urged ‘to do our bit’ to get through the darkest days of winter (often our winter daytime temperatures are higher than those in the UK summer).
The language at least has evolved, even if the policies were unchanged. Team of five million helping each other became the battle of the army of five million.
The new battle lines promised tighter ‘red setting’ lockdown rules in the pipeline to be deployed against future variants.
It was suggested that very soon we would probably be offered boosters at shorter time intervals (we note that social media suggestions nine months ago that we would have to take regular boosters were labeled conspiracy theories by government scientists).
N95 masks will be free to those considered vulnerable. Dr. Ayesha Verrall described them as ‘incredibly effective (??)’.
GPs will be able to pre-approve Paxlovid and other antivirals for patients they consider vulnerable even if they aren’t sick (warning: common adverse effects of paxlovid include dysgeusia, diarrhea, vomiting, increased blood pressure and headache, no adverse effect data available for some ingredients and pregnant women).
Inaccurate RAT tests known to give variable readings will be more readily available at no cost.
Remarkably MSM lined up this morning to sing Ardern’s praises. The Retailers Association called for the unmasked to restrict themselves to online shopping (two months ago they were calling for masking to end).
How Does She Do It?
Ardern rigidly controls the content of public dialogue. The carefully scripted press conference silently shut the door on scientific discussion and left all of us in the hands of carefully reframed government policy without referencing published science.
Are masks incredibly effective as Dr. Verrall announced?
This suggestion is frankly laughable; read, for example, this article which summarises how countrywide high mask use in overseas nations has been ineffective at stemming Covid transmission or read this study of the deleterious health effects of prolonged mask use.
Are boosters essential to stem transmission, reinfection, hospitalisation, and death?
New Zealand Ministry of Health data is unequivocal, the vaccinated, including boosted individuals, are currently more likely to be infected, hospitalised, or die with Covid than the unvaccinated.
A concerning study of reinfection among five million US veterans concludes there is no benefit of vaccination in reducing the higher impact of Covid reinfection, currently announced to be running at 2-3% in New Zealand and expected to rise.
Are record levels of excess all cause mortality linked to Covid infection?
According to our Ministry of Health—NO—but this alarming and unexplained fact was not covered by yesterday’s press conference.
Ardern has shut down critics of mRNA vaccination safety, but the government (including the entire loyal opposition) have been careful to let unfounded conspiracy theories in favour of mRNA super powers to spread unchecked in New Zealand.
Thus herd immunity is according to paid government scientists a conspiracy theory, whilst mRNA and flu vaccination is superior to natural immunity and lasts for a lifetime according to government advertising (how gullible do they think we are?).
Adverse Effects of Vaccination Are Also Labelled a Conspiracy Theory
This last has had a huge influence on public opinion in New Zealand.
Contrary to all the accepted canons of drug safety, the government has informed the public that temporal association between vaccination and serious adverse effects does not amount to grounds for causality, and rebuked those suggesting otherwise.
On December 15th Dr. Astrid Koornneef, Director of our National Immunisation Programme wrote to me that although the Ministry of Health is aware that there there is a temporal relationship between adverse effects and vaccination:
“this temporal association is not indicative of a causal relationship to the vaccine”
Thus people suffering adverse effects such as stroke, heart attacks, sudden onset cancer, neurological conditions, etc. following mRNA vaccination have been assured by the Ministry of Health that these are unrelated.
Stories trying to hide the embarrassing prevalence of these ‘unrelated conditions’ have been allowed by our government and other governments to circulate unchallenged in the media. Thus our population has blissfully absorbed such absurdities as:
- Holiday heart syndrome (don’t enjoy yourself too much)
- Coffee-induced blood clotting (Coffee drinking dates from the 9th century)
- The young shouldn’t over exercise (couch potatoes are in)
- Gardening could be causing heart attacks (fresh air and sunshine are out)
- Climate change is driving excess mortality (not just floods and fires )
- Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (which is not actually a disease, just a descriptive term for unexplained sudden deaths)
- The unvaccinated miraculously pass on Covid to others even if they are not ill
Published Scientific Dialogues About Vaccine Safety Are Suppressed
A recent study shows that 93% of the unvaxxed, but only 40% of the vaxxed develop anti-nucleocapsid antibodies (N-antibodies) which are required for broad and lasting immunity.
If we were to apply these figures to New Zealand—7% of the 15% of the population currently unvaxxed may get recurring infection—equivalent to just 1% of the population.
Whereas 60% of the 85 % vaxxed NZers may get reinfections equivalent to 51% of the population. If this study is to be relied upon, we have set up almost half our total population to be vulnerable to chronic covid reinfections.
Ardern and her scientific advisers have decided that this kind of discussion is off-limits for New Zealanders. We are being treated like naughty children who are not allowed to stay up late(??) and watch The Muppets on TV.
The Government Desperately Wants Us to Think That the Pandemic is Not of Our Own Making
We are not allowed to ask whether Covid came from a biolab (this has been labelled as a conspiracy theory by funded government scientists).
Complex scientific questions are off limits for the public. Therefore New Zealanders are unaware of the increasing natural selection of variants which have learned to evade vaccines precisely because mRNA vaccines fail to prevent both infection and transmission.
Credentialled scientists overseas are asking: Is vaccination driving Covid variant evolution and contributing to poor outcomes, reinfection, lowered immunity, and adverse reactions?
These critical scientific questions are being investigated, tested, and analysed, but not in New Zealand.
Aside from Covid cases which actually make up a small percentage of hospital admissions and deaths, we are not allowed to know why so many people are in hospital and why record numbers are dying.
Ardern is practiced at redirecting public opinion from disturbing truths. Her government is handing out financial rewards to those who don’t ask questions.
Compliant media received financial support, there are financial rewards and vouchers to vaccinate, substantial extra payments to GPs for Covid work, and now government departments are giving extra days of paid sick leave so we don’t begin to question why we are getting so ill so often with such a variety of complaints.
If you have a friend or a family member who has fallen unexpectedly ill, you need to ask questions. Politicians skilled in PR spin are not serving us well.
