There are no winners in war, but very shortly our government may try to divert our attention towards conflict and away from Covid, as has happened in much of the world.
Rightly, we are sorry for Ukrainian citizens and we should have compassion. No doubt the international production and trade in weapons needs to be stopped. Modern youth know they are citizens of the whole world, and feel kinship with people everywhere.
Despite this, the attempt to take over our health system will not stop. Make no mistake about it, the development of engineered mRNA and DNA vaccines for multiple illnesses is surging ahead.
Moderna has just announced human trials of an mRNA HIV vaccine (they are requesting HIV-free volunteer subjects to come forward).
Simultaneously bio labs across the world are studying deadly pathogens and creating new ones through gain of function experimentation. This suggests a different kind of war, one that is far more deadly than conventional warfare.
Modern Warfare is Taking on a Frightening New Dimension
Modern warfare comes in many forms: conventional, guerilla, psychological, economic, nuclear, and now biological or biotechnology warfare. During the second world war especially, large scale attacks on civilian populations became normalised.
Hitler called this type of warfare โTotal Warโ.
Waging Total War involved targeting civilians to persuade governments to surrender, and the โcleansingโ of the intelligentsia and ethnic populations in conquered territories.
This strategy found its apogee in nuclear warโwhole Japanese cities were snuffed out in a moment, bringing conventional war to a close, hastening unconditional surrender.
This was so frightening that it has not happened since, but many nations still maintain a far more destructive arsenal of nuclear weapons.
Since that time conventional warfare has continued but with the added dimensions of economic sanctions and invasions, psychological distortion of reality through control of media, and guerilla tactics.
There is no doubt that the development of weaponized pathogens is of interest to governments around the world. From time to time we have had glimpses into laboratories working towards military objectives, both defensive and offensive.
Central to this work is the creation and storage of deadly diseases. On March 15 2022, Newsweek authoritatively confirmed the existence of US-funded bio labs in the Ukraine:
โโฆthe World Health Organization advised Kyiv to destroy high-threat pathogens being stored in their labs to prevent any possibility of a dangerous outbreak if the facilities are attacked by Russia.
โAlthough there are bio labs in Ukraine researching deadly pathogens in order to prevent the production of weapons capable of being used in germ warfare, or studying how to respond to outbreaks such as COVID-19, there is no evidence that they are being used to manufacture biological weapons.
โThe Department of Defense confirmed earlier this month that the U.S. has invested $200 million in Ukraine since 2005 to support 46 Ukrainian laboratories and their research into disease threats as part of the Biological Threat Reduction Program, which involves former Soviet Union countries.โ
New Zealand is a small country miles away from the Ukraine war, but the pandemic has taught us that pathogens can quickly spread from anywhere throughout the whole population of the world.
Biological warfare is the most deadly of all warfare, because it can affect everyone, friend or foe, indiscriminately. It is extraordinary that the US is funding multiple bio labs across many countries worldwide. Private contractors and investors are also involved. Why?
Why Would Anyone Want to Create or Stockpile Deadly Pathogens Which Could Escape and Kill Millions?
Biotechnology shares are hot investment stocks. Few biotechnology companies turn a profit, but the PR hype is huge, promising miracle cures and abundant profits around the corner in the best tradition of snake oil salesmen of old.
Investment is facilitated by the granting of patents on genetic material. This involves an extraordinary sleight of hand. The patented genetic material may be 99.99% natural, yet the addition of a single molecular group facilitated the award of the patent.
This could be likened to individuals securing patents on Ford cars simply by adding home made seat covers. In a market driven by incoming investment, once patented, genetic sequences can become gold mines for the patent holder.
Patents can be traded for millions and may also involve continuing royalties. This single rort alone has driven biotechnology investment to sky high levels.
Fortunes can be made on the road to the creation of supposed new โcuresโ and yes, diseases. Government grants further accelerate this process.
It Is a Race to the Bottom, and All Governments Want to Get on Board
The risks to the health of the worldโs population are huge and unquantifiable. Stable genetic structures which underpin health and higher human abilities, built up through millions of years of evolution, are being put at risk.
Yet the risks are ignored. Again we ask why?
The answer to this is frightening. It lies in the escalation of Total War. The development of biotech weapons is surely driven by the same thrill that drives the serial killer or rapistโthe wish to impose control over random lives.
In defiance of the huge risks, biotechnologists are planning to infect or inject people with genetic material that they have made and patented. They are playing God.
New Zealand has a policy not to import venomous snakes, if they ever arrived we would struggle to get rid of them. After the events in Wuhan and the uncertainty surrounding the origins of Covid-19, after the failure of the Pfizer vaccine to stop transmission, you would think that NZ would be scaling back biotechnology as a precautionary measure.
Not so, we have bought a machine with the intention to make our own inherently risky mRNA vaccines. Jacinda Ardern said today
โWould you wanner just dump (mandates) entirely never to be seen again? Whilst they might not have a use for us right now..โ
So they will keep mandate statutes ready to use again in the future, just in case. We are planning to play God too.
Truly We Have Been Misled by Science Fictionย
Is the introduction of biotech medicine a point of no return or is there still time to avert a future where human life and freedoms are shadowed by mega medical corporations vying for supremacy in an unregulated global biotech market place; where governments experiment on their populations; where news is tightly controlled and science is what an unqualified elite says it is?
This will not stop until there is an international moratorium on risky biotechnology experimentation.ย
This paper, which caused little stir at the time, reports that the bodyโs first immune defense against illness โ T-cells โ are suppressed following Pfizer mRNA vaccination. The paper summarised:
โIn conclusion, the mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine induces complex functional reprogramming of innate immune responses, which should be considered in the development and use of this new class of vaccines.โ
We could be forgiven for not knowing exactly what this implies for our health, but recently US pathologists have been speaking up about an uptick in cancers.
If T-cells are suppressed, cancers receive a โget out of jail freeโ card
If T-cells are suppressed, cancers receive a โget out of jail freeโ card. Everyone will be aware of what this means, most cancers develop slowly over time, but without adequate T-cell function, they can develop and spread more rapidly.
Precisely what pathologists are reporting in the US, including even unexpected sudden-onset cancers.
This paper was published 10 months ago, so why wasnโt more done to follow up on the warning in the paper? An interview with US pathologist Dr. Ray Cole provides the answers.
Early warning signs and calls to perform autopsies on deaths subsequent to vaccination, and thereby cast a wider investigative net, were ignored by medical professionals and administrators. They said โwe really donโt want to get into thatโ.
The Problems with Our Pandemic Response Run Deep
Much the same has happened here in New Zealand. In most cases, autopsies have been judged unnecessary, removing a vital tool from the process of discovering the causes of excess deaths.
Despite the introduction of a novel biotech vaccine following greatly reduced testing requirements, few if any additional safeguards were introduced. Mandatory reporting of adverse effects following vaccination was specifically rejected.
The problems go much deeper than that. Many factors have contributed to the largest public health safety failing in New Zealand history. These involved failings at many levels and in many sectors of healthcare, government, and the media.
The government and the ministry of health decided to accept reassurances from Pfizer about safety and efficacy at face value. Nothing that emerged subsequently shook their faith or reduced their saturation advertising promising the public safety:
Early warnings from Israel in the first half of 2021 that vaccine effectiveness wore off rapidly and did not even get close to the 95% that Pfizer promised were dismissed.
The conclusions of scientific journal papers reporting high rates of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination, especially among the under 40s, were not passed on to GPs or hospitals until mid December 2021, six months after they first came to light.
Increasingly over the last few years our government and the medical profession have become firmly plugged into the pharmaceutical PR pipeline. To coin a phrase, this became the governmentโs only source of truth. Pfizer has an appalling safety record, so our government certainly has to share the blame.
It gets worse, the government had strong faith, they decided to insist on regulations which went beyond those recommended by Pfizer. Vaccination exemptions which Pfizer said should be granted to those injured by the first dose were denied by Dr. Ashley Bloomfield. Vaccine adverse events were judged to be mild and short lived without any long term data to back up the claim.
Most of the early warning signs were a matter of public record in science journals, so why were few warning voices raised among the medical profession? GPs that spoke up were sanctioned and threatened with expulsion by the General Medical Council. Neither did the media report their concerns, except to lampoon them as fringe wackos deserving of punishment.
Dire Predictions Were Misleading
Clearly, the government was afraid of a severe outbreak. Modellers were predicting 80,000 Covid deaths in New Zealand. Overseas reports of deaths appeared to be catastrophic. We now know that the British and American press promoted sensational coverage.
Deaths because of Covid were likely as low as 10% of deaths with Covid. UKSHA reports that the average age of Covid deaths was 82.9 years, higher than the UK life expectancy.
There were also early mistakes with treatment protocols. Intubation is a very invasive and risky procedure, 85% of those with Covid receiving this treatment died. It is now seldom used.
Promising cost-effective early treatment protocols were dismissed as quack cures, while pharmaceutical companies quietly urged governments to wait for their expensive medicines under development.
Money Turned Heads
There was another powerful force at workโmoney.
Our government decided to borrow big and splash the cash. From the outset, they set aside $64 billion dollars of additional borrowing to be spent on mitigating the impact of the pandemic especially by encouraging vaccination.
Doctors reportedly receive $300 for each person they vaccinate
Institutions offering testing are paid $125 for each test administered
If you rounded up people and ferried them to vaccination centres, the bounty was $100 per person
Pharmacies are paid $45 per RAT test
Very substantial cash grants were made to Maraes that agreed to host vaccination without a rigorous requirement for accounting.
Our government pays around $110 to laboratories for each PCR test completed (USA hospitals have charged patients as much as NZ$1,000 for each test, but only pay $75 to the lab)
Our government has never officially confirmed what they pay Pfizer for each injection. Estimates range from $30 to $60 for each jab (10 million have been given).
Mainstream media was paid at least $60 million in government grants in addition to proceeds from the massive government advertising budget.
These are just the tip of the iceberg, the list goes on. This was a time of cash bonanzas for many associated with the medical profession. A GP I know had reservations about the safety of the Pfizer mRNA jab, but enthusiastically promoted Covid vaccination to his patients. The money was too good to turn down.
It takes real dedication to spend $64 billion, but the government managed it and more besides. You and I will have to pay this back. Increasing our low emergency bed capacity was not even prioritised.
Hospitals like Whangarei General with sewage leaking within its walls were told they would have to wait for repairs while the Covid gravy train rolled on.
Was Evidence Cited from a Balanced Perspective?
Members of the medical profession found themselves in the public eye. They all knew that there was only one message acceptable to the government: โvaccinateโ.
Turning a blind eye to risks became a professional requirement.
Ethical standards were reframed, the hippocratic oath forgotten. There is no doubt this was a matter of faith, faith in vaccination as a stand-alone medical intervention beyond reproach.
The fact that mRNA technology bore no resemblance in its action or effects to anything that had previously been called a vaccine, was something that could be forgotten in the heady days when epidemiologists, modellers, and vaccine experts became front page news and revered public idols.
Did scientists, ministers, and government advisors reference the primary evidence while speaking? If they did (which was seldom), they were very careful to cite papers written by colleagues who were every bit as enthusiastic as themselves, often funded by vested interests. Were they well paid?
Apparently so, new institutions such as Te Punaha Matatini, enjoyed government support and duly published papers advising the government among other things that adverse effects of mRNA vaccination were a conspiracy theory.
Journal papers raising questions were dismissed as fringe. Privately some admitted there were dangers and deficiencies, but had faith that vaccinations would improve in the long run, so no worries.
Yesterday the government announced that unvaccinated New Zealand citizens abroad would no longer be required to enter MIQ on their return. A sign that things are changing.
However it will take more than just rolling back mandates to normalise the New Zealand health landscape. The effects of propaganda will have to be rolled back, safety measures introduced, independent voices installed within our regulatory systems. Lessons must be learned.
Principally the inherent dangers of novel biotechnology need to be recognised. The whole biotechnology research enterprise, which likely caused the pandemic, should be paused and reassessed.
Already we are witnessing the pharmaceutical PR machine placing articles in papers around the world calling for money to be spent on developing new biotech vaccines for their future pandemics.
This should be a never again moment, but it will not be so unless we wake up to the need for medical reform, government accountability, and media balance.
The New Zealand Bill of Rights needs to be entrenched in the constitution. Those adversely affected need to be compensated including those who lost their livelihoods. Otherwise fear will remain normalised.
As you probably know, โtaking the fifthโ is an American expression which refers to the fifth amendment of the US constitution. When asked a question you are allowed to remain silent if answering it will incriminate yourself.
People who โtake the fifthโ in court are generally considered by the public to be guilty even if the court cannot muster enough evidence to obtain a conviction. They may even continue to profess their innocence outside the courtroom, but they will not be believed.
We are asking a lot of questions of our government, but not receiving many answers. Has Parliament decided to โtake the fifth?
The curious lack of public dialogue, the refusal to meet protestors, and Ardernโs famous dictum thatย โthe government is your only source of truthโ, all point in this direction.
I would like to ask:ย
โWhen did the New Zealand government first receive theย Pfizer Adverse effects reportย completed on 30th April 2021?โ
The Victorian government has publicly admitted that they received it early on. Our government has remained silent. Among my follow up questions:
Considering the volume of adverse events and deaths following mRNA vaccination reported by Pfizer, why did you continue to tell the New Zealand public it was completely safe?
No doubt the NewZealand government will continue to try to avoid anything like a courtroom situation where two sides engage in a formal process to uncover the truth.
Instead, their public pronouncements will continue to profess righteous indignation and innocence, whilst painting their accusers with the broad brush of ignorance.
โTaking the fifthโ has in fact become a habit in our country.
The Broadcasting Standards Authority, the Advertising Standards Authority, the Media Council, and the Human Rights Commission, all of whom are supposed to take an independent stance, have deferred to the government and replied to complainants that government advice on vaccine safety should be taken at face value. Are they also taking the fifth?
Discrimination in the Workplace
The โconsultativeโ processes followed by government departments and private companies in order to โlegallyโ sack their unvaccinated employees also have a familiar ring.
Long scientific submissions by employees facing the loss of their profession and livelihood, are stamped โconsideredโ but not answered. This is quite sufficient to meet government guidelines, which essentially require them to listen, but do not require them to answer.
Will companies who implemented vaccine mandates be able to continue to operate them into the future with tacit government approval? A few public comments seem to point in that direction.
Moreover, some companies are pushing ahead with mandates despite the mild nature of omicron and the failure of mRNA vaccination to stop transmission, infection, and hospitalisation.
Will they ask prospective employees to reveal their vaccination status? Why would they want to do that? Perhaps because they have had a lot of hassle from the government over mandates and they wonโt want to go through anything similar in the future.
Now this is an issue with important historical roots. Over the years, employees have won rights and legislation protecting them from discrimination in the workplace. This includes personal privacy of medical records and much more.
The new Covid legislation has had a particular effect on discrimination. Employers are being encouraged to discriminate and are being protected from sanctions for doing so. Nor are they required to explain themselves. They are able to take the fifth and kiss you goodbye.
We Have Reached a Watershed
Those of us who for months have been writing to MPs, mainstream media, GPs, scientists, academics, and watchdogs, are by now well aware that we are whistling in the wind.
I am told that most MPs have their inboxes set to divert correspondence to the spam folder if it contains the words vaccine or Covid. Are they taking the fifth safe within the safe walls of the beehive?
It wonโt have escaped your notice that such a system allows for the abuse of power. In common with many other westernย powers, our government appears determined to push ahead into the future with a programme of mRNA vaccination, whatever the human cost of adverse effects.
It apparently intends to continue to pursue policies which economically and socially disadvantage a minority of our population whilst inflicting long term health risks on the majority.
This is a government that has raisedย โrefusal to engage in a dialogueโย to a modern art form. To achieve this, they are funding mainstream media who promote one sided coverage that has little relation to the scientific debates about Covid continuing in scholarly journals.
Finally how can the court of public opinion pass judgement on our government now that they have taken the fifth? As a minimum there are two changes that need to be made:
The New Zealand Bill of Rights needs to be entrenched in a constitutional framework
Parliamentary privilege, which allows MPs to lie without consequence, needs to go.
Both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated are facing an uncertain future spiralling out of our control. There is less and less point in trying to dissuade people determined to continue down the road to a biotech medical disasterโthey are taking the fifth.
Good advice would beย prepare for a different future.ย Failures in education and healthcare will need to be redressed. Narrow specialisation has left many โexpertsโ blinkered to the point of willful ignorance of the wider implications and pitfalls of their advice, even to the exclusion of their own personal health and well-being.
Institutions need to promote a broader interdisciplinary academic focus, critical thinking including deductive and inductive methods, and a wide ranging analysis of historical parallels. Organising institutions that serve people, respect science, and promote self-healthcare should be our priority.
P.S. Stuff newspaper have replied to some of you, who wrote to complain about their recent ad hominem piece about myself, that I was given aย โright of replyโ,ย I wasnโt. Anything approaching a dialogue is increasingly out of character in our country. New Zealand has taken the fifth.
“Yesterday’s release “New data is confirming mRNA Covid vaccine deaths”ย said that MoH errors undercounting the New Zealand population were due to inaccuracies in the 2018 census, in fact, they appear to be primarily due to restricting population estimates to those who have recently used government health services. My apologies.”
Yesterday a new paper at an open access platform (OSF) was published about German excess all-cause deaths. This offered confirmatory evidence concerning the excess all-cause deaths in NZ we have already reported. It adds significantly to the growing body of evidence being reported around the world.
There are a number of interesting points in the German data which is broken down by age. During 2020, Covid infections peaked but all-cause mortality was not seriously elevated, whereas during 2021 while the mRNA vaccine was being rolled out, German all-cause deaths were elevated for the 15-79 year old age range.
This is not an isolated statistic. All-cause deaths among working age populations are increasing. Official US all-cause death data paints a depressingly similar picture to the German and New Zealand stats. Commercial insurance data confirms this.
Edward Dowd, an internationally respected investment advisor who manages billions of dollars, reported in February that US group life insurance policy claims for death benefits are increasing dramatically.
These policies cover employees working for US corporations. Dowd reported Q4 increases 2021 vs 2019: Agon +56%, Unum +36%, Lincoln National +57%, Prudential +41%, Reinsurance Group of America +21%, Harford Mutual Insurance Group +32%.
A comparison of 15-79 year old German all-cause deaths with vaccinations by month shows how vaccination numbers mirrored deaths.
It also shows how an increase in all-cause deaths occured when boosters were rolled out. The relationship is similar to the observed excess all-cause deaths in NZ.
The significance of this data cannot be overestimated. UKHSA reports that the average age of people dying from Covid is 82.9 years, higher than the average UK life expectancy.
Therefore all-cause deaths among the 15-79 year age bracket are not expected to increase significantly as a result of Covid infections. The implications of the observed rises across multiple countries are very disturbing.
Most studies of long term outcomes following Covid infection are not differentiating between subjects who have been vaccinated and those who are not.
This allows vaccine advocates, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and governments to continue to blame adverse outcomes including deaths on Covid infection alone or chance events without considering the adverse effect of mRNA vaccination, whose long term impacts may be even larger.
The German data supports causal attribution of increases in all-cause deaths to the effects of mRNA Covid vaccination.
What We Are All Thinking but Are Not Allowed to Say
It is still not politically correct to talk about Covid vaccination deaths. This weekโs People magazine reports a 25 year old celebrity is recovering after developing a blood clot that moved to her brain.
A vascular neurologist commented
“We think of stroke as being something that happens in older ages, but we are seeing it in younger and younger people. It relates, generally, to people having unhealthy lifestyles, maybe not eating as well or not getting regular exerciseโ.
Neither of which possible causes apply to the celebrity, a fit, healthy eater. The vascular surgeon omitted to mention that the increases in deaths among younger age groups accelerated just last year.
This case is just one more of a long and unprecedented list of celebrities and sports people suffering recent thrombotic and cardiac events, but we are not allowed to utter the magic words โmRNA vaccinationโ.
Others are beginning to see the light. This week John Campbell, respected provaxx YouTube Covid commentator from the UK with 2 million followers, changed sides. He read out the key points from the court-ordered Pfizer release of adverse effects documents, threw up his hands in despair, and expressed anger at how we have all been misled from the start.
A list of 1,223 deaths and 42,086 adverse events across broad categories of serious illness led to his censure. Read more about the key Pfizer document at the Hatchard Report.
New Zealand Carries on Regardless
At a press conference on Thursday, Northern Region Health Coordination Centre (NRHCC) chief clinical officer Dr. Andrew Old said only a third of the 1,000 people currently in hospital with Covid-19 were there due to the effects of the virus.
He did not provide any details about how many of this third were vaccinated and how many unvaccinated. He didnโt provide any data on how many of the modest number of deaths were โwith Covidโ and how many were โbecause of Covidโ.
So all bets are off when it comes to analysing New Zealand data. Yet Dr. Ashley Bloomfield, the New Zealand Director General of Health, who was interviewed by Mike Hosking yesterday morning, said the 1,000 people in hospital would not be there if it wasnโt for Covid. Hosking had to correct him (a big thank you to Mike).
This means for the last few weeks we have been subjected to a meaningless psychobabble of palpably false Covid statistics designed by the Ministry of Health to contain us in a state of constant fear.
What the government hasnโt really talked about is their failure to upgrade the emergency departments of New Zealand hospitals (theyโve had two years to prepare), instead spending 64 billion dollars of borrowed money promoting an ineffective Covid vaccination programme.
The NZ Herald reports our hospital system is in crisis, strained to breaking point. The statistics show that the hospitals are overwhelmed with vaccinated Covid patients, but you wouldnโt know it unless you moved beyond government propaganda.
The unqualified โexplainersโ of mainstream media are willing partners in this deception:
The NZ Herald suggested that the unvaccinated should be denied entry to New Zealand for the foreseeable future (translation: permanently).
Stuff wrote that being vaccine hesitant is analogous to membership of a sex cult.
The public is heartedly sick of being treated like kindergarten children. Despite the mounting evidence of ineffectiveness and serious harm, the focus of government and the health system is still saturation advertising proclaiming the safety and effectiveness of mRNA vaccination.
Meanwhile thousands of people in and out of hospital with serious illness continue to be under-resourced and in some cases neglected. A situation exacerbated by the sacking of unvaccinated health staff.
The NZ Ministry of Health is in Denial
So why hasnโt our Ministry of Health commented on the association between excess all-cause death and mRNA vaccination, except to go into denial? Well the Ministry of Health isnโt squeaky clean when it comes to statistics.
Last week Radio NZ reported that 97% of the New Zealand population are vaccinated but the unvaccinated account for 17% of hospitalisations. But my team found that the Ministry of Health has been using NZ population figures based upon everyone registered with a GP or who has used the health service in the previous year.
These records are known to be considerably below the true population. If you use the corrected population figures, as low as 85% of eligible New Zealanders may be vaccinated which equates with the percentage of vaccinated hospital admissions with Covid (all categories of vaccination 1, 2, and 3.).
So the effect of mRNA vaccination on Omicron is, as other overseas studies have indicated, very limited, at most limited to a small effect of boosters which wears off rapidly (within 10 weeks according to Israeli data).
UKHSA data suggests that as the effectiveness of the vaccine wanes, the individual is left with a lower immunity than before vaccination.
Excess all-cause death is not a statistic that can be ignored. Dr. Ashley Bloomfield says it is not necessary to institute mandatory reporting of adverse events following vaccination.
What planet is he on?
We need an immediate end to mandates, proper assessment of adverse effects, and adequate compensation and treatment for those affected.
This morning I received an email from Keith Lynch, โScience Explainerโ at Stuff newspaper. Apparently Keith intends to write a โhit pieceโ on me in Mondayโs Stuff. Keithโs letter is below in black.
Based on Stuffโs continuing approach to attack unvaccinated people in the public eye or in elected positions without offering them any โright of replyโ, I am publishing my answer to his questions in full, so that you can make up your own mind.
My replies in blue
Hello Guy
My name is Keith Lynch and I’m a reporter at Stuff.
I’m writing a piece about you and some of your writings on the Covid vaccine and i’ve some questions.
Can you tell me more about your professional background? You say you worked for Global ID. Can you tell me more about the nature of your work there?
I worked as a senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food safety testing and certification company (now known as FoodChain ID). My official title was Director of Natural Products. The company developed statistical sampling and testing strategies based on PCR technology to ensure that both bulk and retail products were free of genetic modification. Genetic ID certification was used by its customers, including large primary product and retail suppliers, to ensure that they could gain access to international trade opportunities between countries and trading blocks including Japan, the EU, and many others. I was involved in all of these activities.
What qualifications do you have that make you comment on the Covid vaccines? I note your PHD is in psychology (I also note that Maharishi University of Management is not accredited by the APA).
Maharishi International University (MIU) is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), the accrediting agency for universities and colleges in the North Central region of the US. The Higher Learning Commission is recognized by the US Department of Education and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). MIU primary student intake is in programmes for Computer Professionals, Management, Integrative Health, and Sustainable and Regenerative Living. You can find out more for example at https://www.miu.edu/cba/accredited-by-iacbe
My BSc Hons undergraduate degree was in Logic and Theoretical Physics at the University of Sussex, UK. This included courses in foundations of mathematics and the scientific method. I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Teaching for Science, Physics, and English from Christchurch Teachers College (now part of Canterbury University). My MA thesis at MIU studied the use of Bloomโs mastery learning techniques in mathematics education to increase achievement in mathematics at the 2 sigma level. My PhD is nominally in the Psychology Department, but focused on the use of time series analysis and panel regression analysis to investigate the effect of human factors including meditation on national competitive advantage as measured by social and economic indicators in 40 countries. For this I analysed hundreds of data sets supplied by the Institute for Management Development in Lausanne Switzerland. The conclusions of my thesis have been published in a peer reviewed journal. In essence, meditation can enhance individual creativity and this can impact economic achievement positively and reduce social problems including crime. My work has been published in the journal Psychology, Crime, and Law. I was a keynote speaker at the annual conference of the British Psychological Society. I have written papers and lectured on QALYs Quality Adjusted Life Years, a system of assessing the impact of health interventions on longevity and quality of life. I have written a book Discovering and Defending Your DNA Diet which is available as a download from Amazon Kindle and Smashwords. It contains over 800 references to studies published in scholarly journals.
– You write on your site – He has lectured and advised governments in countries around the world on health and education initiatives.
Can you expand on this?
I have traveled extensively and lectured on the safety issues of genetic engineering and on the impact of over-regulation of the natural health products sector. I have met with State Prime Ministers and Ministers in Australia and Ministers in the UK and New Zealand. I have made presentations to MoH committees in New Zealand. I presented to the Royal Commission on Genetic Modification in New Zealand. There is a section in our Parliamentary Library of my writings. In 1990 I was invited to be a lead of a team working under the auspices of the Ministry of Health of Armenia to relieve PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) following an earthquake which killed over 25,000 people. Our team treated 35,000 people over the course of a year. For seven years I was director of a 60 million pound crime prevention community project in Merseyside, UK which received government funding and won a British Urban Renewal Award. This project also involved the founding of a new school which is now an award winning free school fully funded by the UK Department of Education.
– Can you tell me more about how your adherence to the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, has shaped your beliefs on the Covid vaccine.
I have never said that the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi shaped my โbeliefsโ about Covid vaccination, which in any case are not beliefs and are actually based on published research. As Maharishi died in 2008, it is strange for you to suggest that he had opinions on mRNA Covid vaccines. I practice his technique of Transcendental Meditation and have done so since 1969. Extensive published research shows it aids mental clarity, health, and well being. The American Heart Association has endorsed it as a means of improving heart health and reducing blood pressure. I have greatly benefited from knowing the founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and I worked and communicated with him from time to time until his death in 2008, but I am not currently associated with any Transcendental Meditation organisation. I hold different views to Transcendental Meditation organisations. I realise that the understanding and development of consciousness is a legitimate aim of education. My current views largely rely on published research. In NZ we live in a country where one is free to practice religion, take up yoga or meditation. What are you implying here?
A number of people I’ve spoken to describe you as a leading voice in NZ’s anti vax movement. What do you make of that?
In my book published in 2017, I cite no references opposing vaccination, nor do I discuss any anti vax arguments. My wifeโs sister died within 24 hours of receiving a polio vaccine, but my mother suffered disabilities as a result of contracting polio which affected her quality of life. My wife and I have both received vaccinations. There are very valid historical reasons why international human rights documents, to which NZ is a signatory, uphold personal medical choice. I therefore believe in general that medical procedures should always be a matter of informed choice. I am opposed to the mandating of mRNA vaccines. There are serious safety issues. Prima facie evidence exists corroborating this. The rate of adverse effect reporting for the Pfizer mRNA vaccine in New Zealand is running at 30x that of traditional flu vaccines. I have written extensively on this during the last six months. My views can be assessed from my website HatchardReport.com and have been reprinted widely by many media outlets.
– Your own university has published a thorough guide for students on the Covid vaccines that is broadly supportive. It specifically notes: โThe Covid-19 vaccines are not โgenetic engineeringโ in that sense โ they do not involve any modification or manipulation of our genes or DNA.โ
MIU is not โmy own universityโ. I studied for a PhD there and was briefly on the faculty. The official views of MIU and myself are not identical. I note that MIU, like all accredited universities in the USA, is in receipt of very substantial federal educational grants, one recent condition of these grants is the formation of acceptable Covid vaccination policies.
I note you’ve written that the vaccines are “gene manipulation”.
Can you comment?
I suggest you watch my video โThe Pandemic of Biotechnologyโ which can be viewed at my website HatchardReport.com. It contains many scientific references. If you want to examine the history of the development of mRNA techniques from a pro-mRNA vaccine standpoint, I suggest you read an article from the journal Nature entitled the tangled history of mRNA vaccines.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02483-w Even from this perspective, it is clear that mRNA vaccines emerged from work in gene therapy and gene manipulation. You are probably aware of recent work in Sweden confirming that mRNA vaccine sequences can integrate into human liver cells in vitro.
– In a recent Counterspin interview you cite a US study which found Omicron was much milder than Delta. The study also states: evidence for a reduction in severe outcomes among vaccinated cases with both Delta and Omicron variant infections in our study suggests substantial public health benefits from continued Covid-19 vaccination.โ
You may not be aware, but I and many of my professional colleagues around the world are aware that it is a safe policy, when submitting articles for publication in learned journals about Covid, to include some words encouraging Covid vaccination. It is a policy of many universities to expel researchers and professors who publicly express doubts about biotechnology and Covid vaccination. I also note, as a local example of this, that in a recent email exchange with a leading RNZ host he said it was unacceptable to air the views of anyone who opposed Covid vaccination.
The study you refer to above was funded by the CDC. My comments reference a close look at the data the authors presented in the study. Because the unvaccinated data is not fully analysed in the paper, this is best explained in the following video by a professor who is actually known to be pro vaccination, but nevertheless he explains how the study data reveals little difference between Omicron outcomes for the vaccinated and unvaccinated. This is not data the CDC would be very happy about, its analysis was glossed over in the paper:
In that interview you also state Omicron an โequal opportunity virusโ that affects the vaccinated and unvaccinated equally. You make this claim despite a plethora of data showing unvaccinated people are much more likely to be hospitalised. Can you explain why you make this statement?
I suggest you reference my analysis of NZ data published yesterday on my website and in the Daily Telegraph. In this I fact check in great detail how the presentation by Stuff articles of relative risks as opposed absolute risks is designed to make Omicron seem frightening when in actuality Covid has evolved to become a relatively mild illness.
The article in the NY Times (a newspaper) has been widely lampooned, it reported a โstudyโ that has not been either published or peer reviewed. I suggest you Google your question, the articles covering the issue will keep you busy until Christmas. My colleagues in the gene therapy field are of the opinion that there are a number of genetic sequences that are recognisably from gene therapy experiments.
– In your newsletter last week you wrote – We woke up this morning to the news that Shane Warne aged 52 had died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Since he was travelling in Thailand at the time, no doubt he had had a Covid-19 vaccination. Was this causal? Possibly. At the very least you can forgive me for asking this question.โ
Can you explain why you made this claim when there was no evidence to suggest this was the case? Surely this is a very unscientific claim to make?
It wasnโt a โclaimโ it was a question. Why doesnโt Stuff ask more probing questions? MoH has warned heads of DHBs of the need to be very alert to spot cases of carditis following vaccination, why havenโt MoH instituted a robust programme to collate data on the incidence of heart disease in NZ since vaccination? Astrid Koorneef has written to me on behalf of Ashley Bloomfield saying the MoH sees no need for mandatory reporting of adverse effects, meanwhile many vaccine recipients presenting with tachycardia, chest pain, and shortness of breath are still being sent home by EDs and GPs without a CARM report or thorough investigation.
Why do you think you know so many vaccine-injured people compared to the general public?
This is a jolly question. You tell me. I am retired and living in a rural location. Why have so many of my friends and neighbours had adverse health incidents after Covid vaccination? Why did Jacinda Ardern delete the 33,000 comments from her FB page about vaccine adverse effects? Clearly she has far more friends than me that have vaccine injuries. Why havenโt you been asking the Prime Minister? Why has the Health Forum NZ page been deleted by FBโthe last refuge of vaccine injured people in the absence of any coverage from Stuff?
You mentioned in the Counterspin interview that your last chat with your friend involved him saying: โThank God Iโve had the vaccine. Now I get on with my retirement and enjoy life.โ
Do you have any proof the vaccine was involved in this man’s death?
He suffered known mRNA vaccine injuriesโheart inflammation (carditis) and immune system suppression. Medsafe has a list of at least 150 deaths proximate to vaccination reported to CARM, (many more have been reported to NZDSOS). For most of these, Medsafe maintains they cannot determine whether vaccination was the cause of death. ACC is denying many claims for compensation on this basis. Temporal association is the first criteria used to determine causality. I have suggested that there be a more determined approach to assessing cause of death proximate to vaccination. In some cases, this might involve an autopsy. As the numbers in NZ are small this should also involve international cooperation.
I also note that last year you were supportive of Ardern and v supportive of Michael Baker’s elimination strategy in a no of FB posts. Can you explain what happened? Your opinion has changed dramatically?
I was initially very supportive of Jacinda Ardernโs strategy of border closures. I believed and still believe that it should have bought NZ time to review an evolving research picture. In the event, the death rate in NZ from Covid infection is among the lowest in the world, if not the lowest. That is creditable. Early on there were scientific opinions that mRNA vaccination was safe and effective. It was believed that RNA genetic sequences would rapidly dissipate and the spike proteins generated by cells taking up the RNA sequences would stimulate an appropriate immune response and then also dissipate. This has not turned out to be the case. RNA sequences can continue to generate spike proteins over long periods. There is extensive lymph node hyper metabolism following vaccination. There is an unprecedented rate of adverse effects, some of which do not dissipate. We should have been more cautious about mRNA vaccines. The introduction of employment mandates was a big mistake from a safety perspective and an economic disaster.
– I see you referenced Michael Baker agreeing with your opinions re adverse effects in a piece https://www.thedailyexaminer.co.nz/the-long-read-jacinda-ardern-science-and-covid-mandates-events-facts-and-fallacies/
I asked Michael about this this year and he said his comments were taken out of context. He was quite disappointed re this. Do you wish to reply?
I have only quoted Michael Baker verbatim from emails between ourselves. I do not believe these are out of context. It is very important in all correspondence to own your opinions.
Philip Hill has also told me you’re misrepresented his views.
Philip Hill is a senior academic. I note that in the course of the correspondence between Michael, Philip, and myself and others, it was a cordial exchange of scientific views which I respect. Inexplicably, the correspondence came to an abrupt end when I expressed serious reservations about the safety of mRNA vaccination. There was one particular case of a young woman of 17 who died unexpectedly from a thrombotic event following vaccination. It has still not been admitted by Medsafe that this was caused by vaccination.
Iโd appreciate if you could come back to me by tomorrow morning.

I Have Questions for You Keith
I note that your qualifications are in marketing, commerce, and journalism, yet you are the chief covid science explainer editor for Stuff appointed at the start of the NZ vaccination rollout. You list three people on Linkedin who have influenced your thinking: Bill Gates, Helen Clarke, and Simon Sinek. Was it a part of your job description on appointment at Stuff that your writing should support the governmentโs vaccination programme? How did you get such an appointment without a science background?
Because I have been working for a long time off and on questioning the safety of genetic engineering and genetic medicine, I am aware that oneโs views are not always well reported in mainstream media, so I am publishing my reply to you as a press release in the hope that other media outlets might pick it up and report it in full.
Many people have been asking me about numerous recent articles in mainstream media reporting high risks for unvaccinated people and enhanced protection for the boosted.
Accurate statistical analysis takes time to compile, fortunately I have been helped by people working hard behind the scenes.
According to an assessment of Ministry of Health data from 9th March 2022, unvaccinated individuals are 200% more likely to be hospitalised than the boosted. At first this sounds impressive.
Epidemiologist Dr. Michael Baker thinks so. He says (11th March, 2022) that, without vaccination, New Zealand would have much higher hospitalisations and deaths:
“It would be much higher if it wasn’t for that. It would be not manageable, absolutely unmanageable if it weren’t for vaccination.”
It is actually a relief to see that Michael Baker is referring to Ministry of Health data. A few days earlier, modeler Dr. Shaun Hendyโs team, at government funded Te Punaha Matatini, sought to frighten the whole population, just as they did when they famously predicted 80,000 New Zealand covid deaths.
They suggest that the unvaccinated are 1200% more likely to be hospitalised than people with two mRNA doses and 2700% more likely to go to hospital with Omicron than the boosted (Stuff, 17th February, 2022).
The scientific flaws in their argument are so large and obvious, it was certainly irresponsible of Stuff to report this. The critical components of successful modelling are accurate assumptions and real world data comparisons.
Neither were satisfied in this case. Te Punaha Matatiniโs predictions are completely contradicted by the data referred to by Michael Baker.
There are also flaws in the arguments presented by Michael Baker et al., although they are not so immediately obvious. Baker reports relative risks, without commenting on absolute risks.
Twenty percent is the relative risk, and it sounds scarily high. The reported finding actually translates to an absolute risk increase from 6 people in 10,000 up to 7 people in 10,000.
You might drop your sausage for 20%, but if you knew the increased absolute risk was only 1 part in 10,000, you might be tempted to hang on to it, and even add a slice of bacon.
What is the Absolute Risk Difference for Covid-Associated Hospitalisation?
The graph below (data from Ministry of Health – spreadsheet here) shows that there are 4 hospitalisations per 100,000 unvaccinated people, compared to 2 per 100,000 boosted people, and 3 for any vaccination on March 9th 2022.
There were 21,038 cases announced on the 9th of March. Dr Nick Wilson believes that the true numbers of covid infection are currently (as of 9th March, 2022) four to five times higher than the reported numbers.
Using the conservative end of Dr Nick Wilsonโs prediction: 4 x 21,038 = 84,152 cases. This equates to 2% of the total population of 5,084,000 being infected.ย
So when 2% of the population is infected the percentage of covid positive people in hospital in each group will be:
0.004% of unvaccinated people
0.002% of boosted people
0.003% of any-vaccination people
This means there is an absolute risk difference for hospitalisation between the unvaccinated and the boosted of 0.002%.ย This means the apparent increased risk of hospitalisation for the unvaccinated compared to vaccinated is somewhere between 1 and 2 per 100,000 people.
A very small increased risk. But is even this very small elevated risk a reliable figure? No it is not.
There is a great deal of volatility in hospitalisation data. The absolute numbers of hospitalisations are so small that the differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated outcomes are within the margin of error (you will be familiar with this concept from the margin of error always quoted along with political polls).
A great deal also depends on the definitions of vaccinated and unvaccinated and the ways they are counted which the Ministry of Health have not disclosed. There is no data on who was in hospital with Covid and who because of Covid.
For example, are pregnant women in hospital to give birth who test positive for Omicron counted as Covid hospitalisations?
The Cost of Covid
The cost of New Zealand Covid policy currently amounts to more than $64 billion over two years ($13,000 for every man, woman, and childโall borrowed money which will have to be repaid by us all going forward).
The adverse social, and mental costs of Covid are incalculable. The damage to small businesses and the economy cannot at this stage be reversed. We face years of rebuilding in many cases from scratch.
The loss of employment among the unvaccinated who are largely people used to managing their own health with a lower cost to the state. The devastating social divisions, even among families, based on misleading government advertising about Covid-19 effectiveness and safety.
The high incidence of adverse health effects following Covid-19 vaccination, which according to Medsafe is running at 30x traditional vaccines.
We also have to realise that the effectiveness of the booster wanes rapidly, whereas natural immunity acquired after infection lasts longer.
In the UK, official UKHSA and Scotland Health figures record that the boosted are now more likely than the unvaccinated to be hospitalised with Omicron. Bearing in mind that many (most? we donโt know) of the Covid hospitalisations will be with Covid, not because of Covid, we need to ask ourselves:ย
Was a 0.002% Absolute Risk Reduction Worth It?
No other conditions such as cancer or heart disease benefit from government funding to the extent that Covid has. Cancer kills 9,000 New Zealanders a year, 200 times the rate of Covid deaths.
Even a small portion of the $64 billion Covid-19 government fund would have updated and transformed our health service and paid for modern preventive initiatives, providing world standard healthcare for the whole population well into the 21st century.

When a serious crime has been committed, the police generally lose no time in their efforts to locate the culprit and bring them to account.
In this article we consider our long term prospects and what we need to do to improve them.
What Happened This Morning?
When you back a sure fire horse with your whole pay packet and it loses, what do you say to your partner and family when you arrive home on Friday afternoon empty handed?
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centre for Disease Control, regretted that no one warned her that Covid-19 vaccines waned in effectiveness and wouldnโt be effective against future variants. Surprising really, Dr Walensky presumably has a highly qualified staff. A short Google search of scholarly papers would have alerted them to this highly likely outcome.
Yesterday newspapers around the world reported the death of a man who had been given a heart transplanted from a genetically engineered pig. This occurred two months after the transplant. He was more lucky than the recent recipients of genetically altered pig kidneys which worked for up to three days. NIH journal Medline tried to reassure us concerning biotechnology:
โMedical researchers, institutions, and regulatory agencies are working to ensure that gene therapy research, clinical trials, and approved treatments are as safe as possible.โ
But the Wall Street Journal recently thundered a note of warning saying:
โSafety scares, including deaths of several young study subjects, have set back efforts to bring more gene therapies to market, clouding one of biotechโs most promising technologies and hottest sectors.โ
In more news:
Modernaโs shares have fallen by 70% since their highs last year, following action in Scandinavian countries to limit the use of their Covid-19 mRNA vaccine following safety concerns and worries about future lawsuits, but a bulletin from Moderna today reported that, following the huge success of their mRNA Covid-19 vaccine, a human trial had began of their mRNA vaccine for HIV.
Here at home, Radio New Zealand complained that Mayor Sandra Goudie of Thames-Coromandel was still refusing to be vaccinated โdespite widespread evidenceโฆCovid vaccines are safe, and the fact Covid-19 vaccines are the most well-studied vaccines ever made.โ They certainly are the most studied vaccines ever, but has no one told RNZ of one important conclusion of the studiesโmRNA Covid vaccines are the most dangerous vaccines ever produced by a factor of 30x at least. A document containing an extensive list of adverse effects released by Pfizer under court order last week certainly underlined this. Sandra Goudie, unlike RNZ, has kept up to date.
The UK Transport Minister the Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP joined thousands of other ill-informed politicians across the world and replied to a correspondent โCurrently, the evidence shows that a full course of vaccination offers individuals the most effective level of health protection against the virus.โ UKHSA, the official body for Covid stats, would have to disagree. Their recent data shows that the vaccinated are now more likely to contract Covid than the unvaccinated.
On the drug frontline, Pharmac chief medical officer Dr David Hughes announced that Ronapreve, the first Covid-19 engineered monoclonal antibody drug to be approved by Medsafe and bought in quantity by New Zealand, does not actually work against Omicron. Did Medsafe know that such drugs are designed to be variant specific and therefore have limited applicability to coronaviruses?
And today we heard that the most draconian Covid mandate policies in the EU enforced by Austria, which included massive fines for the unvaccinated, have been rescinded. Minister Karoline Edtstadler said the law’s ‘encroachment of fundamental rights’ could no longer be justified by the mild danger posed by the pandemic (if it ever was).
Who is to Blame?
No doubt at some point New Zealand will join almost all other nations who have recognised that Omicron is a relatively mild illness and consequently stopped enforcing mandates. Yet this will not be โjob doneโ. The deaths associated with Covid-19 are due to three causes:ย
A disease that was likely engineered in a lab by gain of function experimentation.
A genetically engineered mRNA vaccine whose adverse effect rates have dwarfed that of any previous vaccine.
Government complicity in moves to reject preventive and early treatment approaches, instead enforcing vaccination as a standalone strategy.
Vaccination has serious adverse effects and Covid-19 variants have posed serious short and long term challenges to health. When evidence mounts up against a serial killer, they are taken into custody to protect the population. Who is possibly a serial killer here?
A reckless community of biotechnology innovators intent on altering the fundamental structure of life itself. Not in one country either. Scientists in the USA, UK, France, and China funded by their governments set about creating new diseases designed to infect humans at the Wuhan Lab, and continue to do so at labs around the world. Now these same scientists wish us to believe that they should be put in charge of our health.
In Which Direction Are We Headed and Are We There Yet?
During the last ten years, modern medicine has been in crisis. Medical misadventureโdisease caused by medicine itselfโhas become the third leading cause of death in the USA. 50% of the population have one or more chronic illnessesโdiseases with no known pharmaceutical cure for which only palliative care is available.
By 2012, life expectancy had plateaued and then began to reverse. People are living shorter lives. Yet the United States spends more on medical care per capita than any other country in the world. American doctors earn more than twice that paid to doctors in the most affluent nations including ours.
It is no surprise that doctors are highly paid, personal health is highly prized, but medical doctors get paid whether their clients get better or not. They are largely protected from liability if any of the products they prescribe cause harm. Does the medical profession operate rather like a secretive medieval trade guild, whereby they are the only ones allowed to advise about health?
In other wordsโa virtual monopoly. Not entirely. Fifty percent of the population buy natural health products to help manage their own personal health, but when it comes to government and insurance funding, modern medicine has a virtual strangle hold. Something that the medical profession treasures and protects very carefully.
The majority of these same doctors are the leading lights in the promotion of mRNA technology and they are being paid very well by governments to do so.
Watch Out for More Restrictions Ahead
Moreover there are moves afoot to extend this further by regulating the use of natural health products. Andrew Little, New Zealand Minister of Health plans to effect this by reviving the Natural Health Products Bill that was abandoned in 2017 after public opposition.
It is surprising how many ordinary foods and supplements that pharmaceutical companies and medical regulators would like to restrict. See my original video which explained it:
Self-regulated Healthcare
Letโs talk about health. The truth is that 95% of our health is supported by our diet, behaviour and state of mind. No one needs a doctor to confirm this, itโs obvious, but nevertheless there are multiple studies confirming that diet, nutrition, exercise, rest, and happiness are the basis of health.
Unsurprisingly simple dietary advice can often do more for health than a course of prescription pills. For example, did you know that ice cold drinks impair digestive capacity? Try sipping hot water at intervals throughout the day, rather than exclusively hydrating with fizzy drinks, alcohol, tea, or coffee. This can lift your health dramatically, but it is unlikely that your GP will advise this, because, despite years of training, they know little about the fundamentals of nutrition.
I am not writing here to advise you on your health, but I am suggesting that for many chronic conditions that prescription drugs cannot cure, there are well known natural adjustments to diet, exercise, and behaviour that can help resolve them.
Increasingly if your GP fails to advise you to take pharmaceutical drugs, and instead suggests alternatives, he is at risk of being censored by his profession. As the crisis in modern medicine has unfolded, and then been exacerbated by the pandemic, responsible and thinking GPs are being forced out of the profession because they are using their time to research and prescribe more effective, safe alternatives to pharmaceutical regimes which cause side effects.
This is the work of a proto monopoly, moreover a monopoly that is becoming less and less effective. A monopoly that is increasingly being controlled by the PR specialists employed by multinational pharmaceutical giants. Yet research points to the need for more not less of this. More self-regulated health care.
Conclusion
No response to the pandemic will be complete until :
Risky biotechnology research is paused while safety regulatory standards are enhanced and made mandatory
National medical funding programmes begin to sponsor natural preventive and treatment strategies that are proven safe and useful by research and traditional use
Constitutional change is enacted that will more deeply cement the human right to freely choose medical options
Globalisation has enabled huge financial players to launch novel and risky biotechnology and ideas. A man-made disaster has been presented by mainstream media and government sponsored advertising as a naturally occurring pandemic without conclusive proof, in defiance of published evidence to the contrary.
Novel gene therapy has been called a โvaccineโ in order to smooth its unthinking acceptance. This originated in a supranational global spaceโa sort of unregulated wild west. The political leaders and leading thinkers of every nation need to be alert, precautionary, and protective rather than unthinking first adopters, just as Texas sheriffs had to enforce the law when cattle rustlers rode into town.
The Guardian newspaper reported UK data yesterday confirming what many know alreadyโthe effectiveness of boosters wanes rapidly. It may leave people more vulnerable to illness than before. Are our government ministers up to date or are they continuing on blind faith into uncharted territory?
We are at a critical point in medical history. Right decisions made now, based on objectively considered evidence, can ensure the health of nations. Decisions based on imaginings, following the advice of those seeking professional kudos or short term profit above all else, will lead to a modern medical dystopia.

Today the World Health Organisation issued an Interim Statement on COVID-19 vaccines in the context of the circulation of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Variant from the WHO Technical Advisory Group on COVID-19 Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC), 08 March 2022
The document contains an extraordinary juxtaposition of contradictory information which points to disagreements and confusion at the World Health Organisation:
โโฆ.current COVID-19 vaccines continue to provide high levels of protection against severe disease and death, even in the context of the circulation of Omicronโ, (even though severe disease and death rates from Omicron are significantly lower than flu and almost exclusively involve people already seriously ill from other conditions).
Immediately followed by:
โโฆ.to ensure COVID-19 vaccines provide optimal protection into the future, they may need to be updated.โฆparticularly for groups at risk of developing severe diseaseโฆ.but the timeframe for their development and production is uncertain.โ
Then:
โThe TAG-CO-VAC continues to encourage COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers to generate and provide data to WHO on performance of current and variant-specific COVID-19 vaccinesโฆbut robust data on the global immunologic landscape is limited.โ
Followed by:
โThe TAG-CO-VAC recognizes the independent role and procedures of relevant regulatory authorities in establishing the necessary requirements for evaluation under the currently established regulatory pathwaysโฆโ
Translation
The double speak needs interpretation, perhaps WHO meant to say that the current Covid-19 vaccines do not work and we have no idea when if ever effective ones will be developed, but they refrained from doing so because a canon of WHO religion requires that nothing can be said if it might lead to vaccine hesitancy.
Perhaps they then meant to say that Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers have been giving us incomplete data, so we want to warn regulators to be more careful in future, and make up their own minds sensibly after independent research, but WHO canโt say that because a lot of health funding comes from vaccine manufacturers.
I canโt really tell you what is going on at WHO, but it clearly requires copywriters who can convey mixed messages with great skill. No doubt the wise pandits at WHO with their global perspective are pondering the fact that published comparisons between different countries and areas do not show that higher levels of Covid-19 vaccination lead to lower infection and death rates. What they actually admit is:
โThere are heterogeneous levels of population immunity between countriesโฆโ
I am rather hoping that plain speaking will come back into fashion, but I am not sure that will happen anytime soon at WHO. In the meantime, governments like ours still relying on WHO bulletins to inform their policies will need to employ skilled translators.

Yesterday there was a short article in the NZ Herald which discussed the release by the Ministry of Health of some data.
The day before, writing in his column in the Northern Advocate, local opposition MP Dr Shane Reti reported that incidents of self harm among 10-14 year olds have increased by 30 percent since the arrival of Covid.
Disturbing though this is, the response was also disturbing, Shane Reti was admonished for writing about the data which was provided to him by the Ministry of Health.
According to the article, Dr Reti should have asked the permission of the Minister of Health Andrew Little first. The Northern Advocate and Dr Reti apologised for the โconfusionโ this caused.
Covid-19 data is being hidden
There is a lot of confusion around these days, not the least of which is the hiding of key data by the government and the obfuscation by mainstream media of what little data is released.
Aside from the very disturbing impact of pandemic regulations on child mental health, what I also found interesting was the fact that the Ministry of Health was able to supply Dr. Reti with specific information about how the incidence of a single condition has changed since the pandemic began.
It is surprising how the incidence of other conditions has not also been released for public scrutiny such as for example the incidence of heart disease and cardiac events. Well never mind, we are getting used to living in a secretive totalitarian state.
Yesterday our courts were also pondering the paucity of information released and its misleading characterโsome doctors and teachers were asking for a relaxing of Covid-19 mRNA vaccination mandates.
Following the press coverage, it seems that the arguments being debated have already been decided by mainstream media for us. The arguments are really very simple and the โfactsโ are equally so.
A Tsunami of Adverse Effects
Medsafe has published a summary of 53,000 adverse effects reported to them following Covid-19 vaccination.
This is a per capita rate 30 times larger than that of any previous vaccination programme, and Medsafe itself admits that adverse effects are grossly underreported and uses the figure 95% unreported.
Now correct me if Iโm wrong, but if I was in Medsafe or in politics I would be wanting to investigate this alarming figure more thoroughly.
Given that a large percentage of our population are already affected and possibly at risk in the future, I would look very closely not just at the reports themselves but also at the specific categories of risk that Pfizer itself has already flagged. This is a very long list, now publicly available.
I would compile hospital admission data and GP visit data for these conditions.
From Dr Shane Retiโs column, it appears that the Ministry of Health might have already done this, but they havenโt released the data and our politicians appear to be very worried that they might do so without first asking the permission of the Minister of Health Andrew Little.
Very Little data has reached our ears.
I would also require an enhanced use of autopsy to determine if there were any unusual characteristics of deaths proximate to mRNA Covid vaccination similar to those reported overseas.
These include preponderance of micro blood clotting, changes in character and viscosity of blood, and major organ damage.
Are Adverse Effects of mRNA Vaccination an Illusion?
Instead we have been treated by mainstream media to a bizarre rejection of adverse effects and their significance.
Over the last few days we have seen articles suggesting that adverse effects of Covid-19 vaccination are merely psychosomaticโeither imaginary or caused by anxiety.
A claim that cannot have any substantive merit when you consider the sheer volume and serious nature of the reported adverse effects and hospitalisations.
The courts would do well to consider the abundance of adverse effect reports as sufficient to determine the matter. One swallow may not make a spring but a flight of swallows certainly does.
Denial of the significance of the volume of adverse effects reminds us of the experts in religious dogma who looked through Galileoโs telescope at the moons of Jupiter and declared they saw nothing.
Medsafe itself is busy telling us that it has not been possible to properly investigate any causal relationship between Covid-19 mRNA vaccination and serious adverse effects including the deaths. Really??
Epidemiologist Dr. Michael Baker also chimed in with a timely article explaining that deaths have been low in New Zealand during the pandemic, crediting government policy with this โmiracleโ.
His argument also stretches credibility.
The following graph of New Zealand all-cause mortality, mRNA vaccination, flu rates, and Covid deaths speaks for itself. Even our data shy politicians should be able to read this one correctly.
All-cause Pandemic Mortality in One Chart
The chart illustrates the strong connection between mortality (solid blue) and the incidence of influenza and bronchial conditions (black lines) during the winter months.
Peaks in influenza-like conditions drive deaths higher. Lockdowns during 2020 and 2021 create protective conditions which all but eliminated transmission and incidence of influenza and bronchitis.
Thus 2020 had an historically low death rate. In 2021, despite the continuing virtual absence of flu, deaths climbed back to their historical levels. The red line (covid-19 vaccinations) explains how this happened.
Covid-19 vaccinations drove all cause deaths higher. You can also see that Covid-19 itself (solid grey) did little to alter death totals.
The Entire NZ Mortality Story in One Chart
Flu causes excess death; Flu disappears, excess death disappears. Covid has not produced excess death. The mRNA Covid vaccine causes more death than a typical flu.
By this time you might be scratching your head and asking how this has been ignored for so long. I can offer some crumbs of explanation.
Our current generation of politicians is well schooled in the idea that politicians and political institutions can and should control the options and choices of the whole population, right down to which pills we need to take when we wake up.
The growth of this way of totalitarian thinking appears to go back at least to Helen Clarke and has been creeping up on us incrementally ever since.
There is More to Come
Andrew Little flagged recently that parliament is planning to overhaul the Therapeutic Products Bill later this year.
That means our government is again intending to regulate the availability of natural health products (something that was first attempted under Helen Clarke but failed due to public opposition).
If their previous attempt to control natural health products is anything to go by, many natural ingredients, nutritional supplements, and even some foods will disappear. I have covered this in a number of videos available on my YouTube channel, for example.
A Government Obsessed With Itself to the Point of Madness
How our government ever thought it was qualified to take control of every aspect of our lives is a mystery. A kind of megalomania has taken hold of parliament.
As we know from history, obsession with the idea you are always right and others are wrong involves a descent into madness.
As considered above, the points at issue are simple and easily decided with common sense.
There are many things that we should be able to continue to decide for ourselves. Whether we are vaccinated or unvaccinated, neither the government nor mainstream media are competent to decide everything for us.
The more so, as they are apparently withholding and obfuscating information needed to reach informed decisions.
The Minister of Health is holding back vital information, and mainstream media is apologising if it fails to follow his dictats.
Are we still living in New Zealand or have we been spirited away to a foreign dictatorship?
Do we as a nation face a lifetime of compulsory experimental and damaging mRNA vaccination on pain of punishment, while other nations have already come to their senses?
The courts have enough evidence to remove mandates.
Are they going to stand up to government bullying or meekly bow to government insanity?

We woke up this morning to the news that Shane Warne aged 52 had died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Since he was travelling in Thailand at the time, no doubt he had had a Covid-19 vaccination.
Was this causal? Possibly.
At the very least you can forgive me for asking this question. Aha, warningโconspiracy theory.
An article in Circulation, the official journal of the American Heart Association, has already warned of an association between Covid-19 mRNA vaccination and precursors of heart disease, but never mind.
Oh, and UK cardiologists have warned of an increasing prevalence of heart disease. And um, pericarditis and myocarditis are known side effects of Pfizer vaccination and according to the prestigious Mayo Clinic, these diseases often progress to heart disease and strokes within 3-5 years, but never mind this canโt be true.
It must be a conspiracy theory or the result of unsound science, right?
Our government is the only source of truth, and they say the mRNA Covid-19 vaccination is completely safe. SO NEVER MIND.
What is a Conspiracy Theory?
Our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern reassured us this week:
“One day, it will be our job to try and understand how a group of people could succumb to such wild and dangerous mis- and disinformationโฆ. There has been an element of this occupation that has not felt like New Zealand. And thatโs because it is notโฆ. Itโs a dangerous place when citizens are led into spaces where they believe so deeply in conspiracy theoriesโฆโ
Ever willing to support our PM and her noble causes, MSM Stuff came out fists swinging today in support with a long analysis of the dangerous places within New Zealand society.
Central to Stuffโs analysis was the opinion of Dr. Sanjana Hattotuwa, a researcher at New Zealand think tank Te Pลซnaha Matatini who works on something called The Disinformation Project. We have come across Te Pลซnaha Matatini before and commented on their work
Te Pลซnaha Matatini has advised our government among many other things that adverse effects of Covid-19 vaccination are a conspiracy theory, that concepts of herd immunity are a misrepresentation of science, and that Gerry Brownlee is a right wing conspiracy theorist.
In todayโs article, Dr. Sanjana Hattotuwa is credited with explaining that โitโs the politicians, like Winston Peters, Matt King, Marama Fox and David Seymour, who legitimised the protest, but should have known betterโ.
Who is Dr. Sanjana Hattotuwa and why is he so qualified to tell us about ourselves?
Dr Hattotuwa comes from Sri Lanka. From 2002 to 2020 he was a senior researcher at the Centre for Policy Alternatives in Sri Lanka which is an organisation devoted to promoting liberal democracy in Sri Lanka.
Since 2006 Dr. Hattotuwa has also worked for the ICT4Peace Foundation to โcounter violent extremism onlineโ. To achieve this, ICT4 has worked with, yes you guessed it, among others the World Economic Forum, the New Zealand Government, and the United Nations.
Dr. Hattotuwa received his doctorate from the University of Otago in 2021 just last year. His thesis examined the intersection of social media, political communication, violence generation and the realisation of Sri Lanka’s democratic potential. In other words his doctoral work examined Sri Lanka.
Yet suddenly in 2022, a mere few months later, Dr. Hattotuwa has become an expert on New Zealand and has been able to identify and deride the failings of New Zealand opposition politicians such as Winston Peters and David Seymour who dared to ask protestors at Parliament what they were concerned about.
Dr. Hattotuwa’s opinions have even been quoted by the UK Guardian as representative of New Zealand public opinion. And as a newly minted research fellow at Te Pลซnaha Matatini, he enjoys the full support of the Labour Government!!!
Constitutional Safeguards in NZ are Missing in Action
In 2016, the prestigious International Journal of Constitutional Law based at Oxford University published an article pointing out vulnerabilities in the governance structure of New Zealand:
โThe governing arrangements.โฆcombine a highly centralized system of government with formally unlimited legislative authority and strong executive dominance of the activities of the nationโs Parliament. Public decision-making power is concentrated in ways that an observer schooled in the orthodoxies of constitutional design best practice might expect to cause some significant problems.โ
The article went on to explain (in 2016) that so far New Zealand seemed to have avoided these problems. I wonder what they would say in 2022?
The Hunt for Scapegoats
The Stuff article further reports Dr. Hattotuwa as warning us all:
โOnce Kiwis start genuinely engaging (on alternative social media platforms), there is nothing we can do to get them back into a shared reality.โ
Dr. Paul Hunt, Chief Human Rights Commissioner for New Zealand, is quoted by Stuff as concurring, reportedly he said โthen thereโs the beast that is social mediaโ.
Dr. Hunt believes there should be a small, nimble, New Zealand independent monitoring organisation which can hold social media companies to account.
It is hard to imagine under the current constitutional arrangements in New Zealand how any organisation formed and funded by the government could actually be independent of the government.
Is Our Government Guilty of Misinformation?
Jacinda Ardern and Grant Robertson are joining in this week with calls for accountability and control of social media. If such laws were ever introduced would the government itself be called to account for policies such as these:
Why did our government publicly describe mRNA vaccination as completely safe, when they were aware from the beginning of the risk of heart disease?
Why did the Ministry of Health decide to refuse exemptions to those injured by their first mRNA inoculation, thereby exceeding the safety recommendations of Pfizer itself?
Knowing that mRNA Covid-19 vaccination did little to stop transmission, why did the government impose harsh mandates which have disenfranchised and impoverished a large sector of New Zealand society, and why are they still continuing with these policies when Omicron is a mild disease adapted to infect the vaccinated?
The list of such government disinformation is a long one, and they must know it. Trying to deflect blame onto others is a classic ploy of the guilty.
What Would a Sensible Precautionary Approach Look Like?
Should precautionary warnings have been issued concerning the risks of heart disease following vaccination right from the start? YES.
But is our government capable of acknowledging updated findings of Covid-19 journal publishing, rather than clinging to their outdated narratives? So far NO.
Some of you may think these are marginal issues which do not affect you. Just reflect for a moment that our New Zealand government readily calls out government disinformation and human rights violations overseas which sound very similar to those it is promoting here.
Ask yourselfโis this what I want for our nation going forward? Am I prepared to have plurality and expression stifled? Is there only one truthโgovernment truth? Does that make any sense?
According to Te Pลซnaha Matatini, continuing promotion of disinformation is a right wing agenda which poses significant threats to social cohesion, freedom of expression, inclusion, and safety. I wholeheartedly agree. I hope those responsible in our government are brought to account.
