The Long Read—Where to From Here?

Refocusing National Energies to Prevent Recurrence and Assist Those Affected.

As an end to mandates makes its slow way out of the starting gate, it is time to take stock and begin to remediate the severe damage that has been done to our nation and our world, its scientific, medical, social, and economic institutions and to individual citizens.

The Hatchard Report wants to reiterate that both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated have been disadvantaged by disinformation, discrimination, and medical misadventure.

In fact, governments distracted their populations from needed debate by dividing us into vaxxed and unvaxxed—characterised as the ‘saved’ and the ‘dangerous’

They created this strong distinction without any adequate scientific basis.

Their fear narrative overhyped the dangers of Covid infection—the mean age of deaths was in fact similar to average life expectancy.

The mRNA vaccines did not stop transmission, rapidly waned in effectiveness, and caused unprecedented rates of adverse effects. 

To move forward from this, both the vaccinated and unvaccinated will need to take common cause.

scientific debate involving rational discussion has been from the outset suppressed and outlawed

PART ONE

The Need for Rational Science

We need to recognise that a scientific debate involving rational discussion has been from the outset suppressed and outlawed.

Journal publishing on Covid-19 and the mRNA vaccination now runs into tens of thousands of articles. The data reported and their conclusions need to begin to inform changed government policy.

We are now fully aware that in the Omicron environment, mRNA vaccination has virtually no impact on transmission, infection, and hospitalisation rates.

It is also clear that excess all-cause deaths have risen in association with vaccination rates in a number of countries including ours. Unusually this has affected working-age individuals at an unprecedented rate.

We have discussed that a paper published in May 2021 indicated that mRNA vaccination causes a drop in T cell production. T cells are our first line of immune defence. 

It is also clear that contrary to initial expectations, the genetic sequences in mRNA vaccines are relatively mobile and can affect diverse organ systems in the physiology, interfering with their functions.

The Hatchard Report and others have covered and referenced many of these findings in depth during the last few months.

The main point we want to emphasise here is that although Covid-19 and the mRNA vaccine have unique specific effects which distinguish them from each other, they also have a great many toxic effects in common.

For example, high rates of cardiac events. There are long-term impacts of both on health, but their true extent remains largely uninvestigated, and in fact, will only be known as time passes.

Reorienting Our Health Service Response

Here in New Zealand and in other countries, health services need to capture an accurate picture of the health impacts and provide appropriate treatment and compensation for those affected.

In mainstream media, it continues to be unacceptable to associate high rates of cardiac events and strokes with vaccination.

Unprecedented rates of health events among athletes, public figures, and the general population are being variously dismissed as due to stress and described as a ‘Warne anxiety effect’ or a ‘holiday heart syndrome’ etc.

This is patently absurd. The refusal of health authorities in many countries, including our own, to countenance what is becoming obvious and the subject of speculation needs to be rectified.

Accurate surveys of adverse events following vaccination and Covid-19 infection need to be instituted.

Up until now, in most countries, adverse effects reports have been collected through passive voluntary systems leading to massive underreporting. A recent survey of 4,000 representative subjects in Israel reported a disturbing picture—50% of mRNA vaccine recipients who responded experienced adverse effects. 

The incidence rate, severity, and duration of long Covid following Omicron is also unknown.

Any studies need to take account of the fact that people will experience adverse outcomes as a result of both vaccination and Covid infection, their relative importance should be assessed through proper selection of experimental groups: unvaxxed with covid, unvaxxed without covid, vaxxed (1,2, and 3 doses) with covid, and vaxxed without covid.

Otherwise, the complicating effects of mRNA vaccination on Covid outcomes will be underestimated.

  • National rates of heart disease and stroke among all age groups, known common outcomes of both vaccination and Covid-19, need to be monitored in real time, rather than reporting at a three year lag as is happening at present.
  • Cancer rates need to be monitored. Mutagenic cancer-causing events could become more common when T cell function is suppressed, as it is immediately after mRNA vaccination.

Action Step—Assisting Those Affected

Most importantly, we need to make renewed efforts to identify and assist those affected. 

Due to lack of information, misinformation, or in some cases indifference, GPs and hospital doctors have dismissed many serious medical events as unrelated to vaccination.

Thus people suffering strokes, cardiac events, occurence or resurgence of cancers, and a wide range of other conditions have been left in the dark concerning possible causes.

As such, they have been unaware of the possibility of making insurance and ACC claims. Nor in many cases, have families been able to make rational sense of sudden debilitating health impacts. 

Qualified personnel volunteering at NZDSOS, VFF, and the Health Forum NZ have for more than a year been dialoguing with those affected who have been alert to a possible connection.

No cooperative investigation has been undertaken by Medsafe and the Ministry of Health who have thereby ensured that they remain in blissful ignorance of the true extent of adverse effects.

This is a scandal that needs to be rectified immediately. 

The content and character of government Covid messaging needs to change radically. It should encourage people to come forward, whose health has been affected since the mRNA vaccination rollout began.

A demonstrably independent team should be set up, dedicated to creating a reliable statistical picture and treatment system. This should cover both the vaccine injured and long Covid sufferers.

PART TWO

The Likely Origin of Covid Needs to Influence Our Approach

There is another vital and cogent reason why the vaxxed and unvaxxed have a common cause.

It is likely that both Covid-19 and the mRNA vaccines have similar origins and certain that they have similar effects.

Although we may never know the exact sequence of events that led to the pandemic, there are many reasons to suppose that Covid-19 originated in a laboratory:

  • Twelve genetic sequences in the spike protein were known to laboratories before the pandemic. The odds against their appearance together in a specific functioning order have been estimated by some to be more than a trillion to one. One of these sequences reportedly originated in the HIV pathogen, another was the subject of a Moderna patent—sources too diverse to suddenly merge together in a natural setting.
  • Chinese virologist Shi Zengli working at the Wuhan Virology Lab, is now known to have been conducting gain of function research funded by the US government. Before the pandemic, she created novel pathogens capable of infecting humans that involved the insertion of unusual sequences similar to those found in the Covid-19 spike protein. Her successful endeavours are the subject of papers she published prior to 2020.
  • The high mutation rate and apparent instability of the Covid-19 pathogen that has led to the formation of over 30,000 variants and to radical changes in its symptoms as it mutated, indicates that Covid-19 was probably not a naturally occurring relatively stable variant in an animal population. Moreover the unique spike protein configuration has not been found in animal viruses despite a vigorous search.
  • The determination of the Chinese government right from the start to completely eradicate Covid-19, indicates that they possibly knew something about its origins and the dangers it posed. It is possible that they had foreknowledge of the exact nature, purpose, and dangers of the gain of function experiments being conducted at Wuhan.

We now know that the highly unusual Covid spike protein has a strongly toxic effect on the human physiology both from Covid infection and following mRNA vaccination. 

The mRNA vaccine teaches human cells to produce the novel spike protein in order to stimulate an immune response.

Following mRNA vaccination, our body creates spike protein sequences in high concentrations, millions if not billions of times higher than the exposure you might receive from an air borne Covid infection caused by someone coughing or sneezing.

In some cases, the physiology produces or harbours spike protein for months after both vaccination and Covid infection where it is able to continue to adversely affect health.

Action Step—Biotechnology Experimentation Should be Paused

Biotech experimentation is very risky. It has likely created a lethal disease and certainly a lethal vaccine, both of which have had global impacts on health running to millions of casualties.

We must insist on a rational debate about these topics and action to curb laboratory work, otherwise, exotic biotechnology experimentation will continue and proliferate. 

Already pharmaceutical PR is calling for more investment in biotechnology to ‘avert’ future threats. A claim that should be dismissed as absurd. The idea that biotechnology is curing disease is the stuff of myths.

In actuality, as we have just experienced, it is introducing lethal and random risks affecting genetic stability and immune function. This should have been well known through the results of earlier studies on gene therapy outcomes.

Due to government indifference to enforcing ethical safeguards of experimentation, their lack of attention to science publishing, and their reliance on the deceptively comforting use of the word ‘vaccine’ to describe a novel and ineffective biotechnology intervention, we are facing an ongoing global public health crisis of unprecedented proportions.

The implication is that biotechnology experimentation should be paused around the world, otherwise inevitable laboratory accidents will occur again, possibly with even more devastating consequences.

Guy Hatchard has written a book Discovering and Defending Your DNA Diet.

Guy Hatchard and Mark Steyn Discuss a Polish Study on mRNA Vaccine Side Effects

Click on the image above to view the video.

The text below is an approximate transcript of this video.

Mark Steyn

Have you had your fourth booster yet?

You know, they say sure, you’ll still get the COVID. But don’t worry, it’ll be much milder you won’t be going into the ICU.

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of science behind that assertion. And there’s mounting evidence to the contrary.

A Polish study has found that mRNA vaccines may be damaging brain cells and immune systems.

I talked a couple of weeks ago that they’re causing an uptick in chilblains. Chilblains, you can probably handle. The death of your brain cells and the collapse of your immune system is slightly worse news than chill Blaine’s.

Meanwhile, a German study of all-cause mortality has found that since the vaccinations got going, young and middle-aged persons are dying in larger numbers.

Dr. Guy Hatchard has been writing about this at the conservative woman website for some time. And he joins us now from New Zealand.

Guy the big takeaway from this, which I think is quite extraordinary, is that in 2020 when the COVID started raging, it didn’t actually cause excess mortality that year, because most of the people who died were over the average life expectancy in countries like the UK.

So for example, the average age of COVID death was at 8.5 years or whatever it was. Then they start vaccinating everybody and suddenly we have a huge uptick in deaths of the middle aged and the young and we’re getting used to like celebrity, there’s a spate of celebrity 52-year-olds, I noticed having fatal heart attacks. Something odd is going on, is it not?

Dr. Guy Hatchard

Absolutely it is. The paper yesterday here New Zealand Herald, greetings from The Hobbit Kingdom Mark, the headline Most COVID Patients in the Omicron Outbreak are Vaccinated, but that is no reason to doubt vaccine benefits.

And they also ran an article saying that the huge uptick in cardiac events, they dubbed it the WARNE effect. They said middle-aged men are getting anxiety because they think they may be similar to Shane Warne, and they’re having heart attacks because of anxiety. And that’s what happens when the government

Mark Steyn

Is that actually is that actually true? Are people seriously arguing that Shane Warne died of anxiety – who was a brilliant cricketer, and I regret that I’ll never actually see him do some of those incredible things he did in the 90s.

But people are actually arguing now that this is completely, this is some sort of anxiety, general anxiety that he died of.

Dr. Guy Hatchard

People are doing anything, but admit that something has gone terribly wrong. If our government here for example, was to admit that there was, there had been a wrong turn, you know, we’ve had two years of saturation advertising, you can’t turn on the television or go to social media without being told that mRNA vaccines are completely safe and effective.

And people have become brainwashed and the government has curated this, they paid for it. They paid the media. And now they’re faced with the fact that it actually doesn’t work.

Now, we actually had COVID We’ve had COVID free in New Zealand for two years. Now we have COVID. The vaccinated and unvaccinated are getting it about equally as far as the relative population numbers are concerned.

So it would be political suicide for Ardern to admit for two years that they had been pulling the wool over our eyes and there’s no doubt that that happened. Absolutely deliberately.

The government swept the side effects under the carpet. We had 2000 excess deaths in our very small country during the time that the vaccine was rolled out.

Mark Steyn

Yeah, that’s and that’s very significant. As you say in a population the size of New Zealand. You can see similar things, I think in the most totally vaccinated communities on Earth.

In Gibraltar, for example, and in Israel, they’re still saying though, like the United States, for example, is still saying you’re gonna get need to get the fourth booster.

Right now is there actually any scientific justification for giving anybody another shot of this stuff?

Dr. Guy Hatchard

We’ve known for a long time that every time you take one of these injections, the immune system gets suppressed. In fact, my best friend that I went to university with died from immune suppression.

It’s been known from; there was a paper published, for example, in May 2021, analysing this issue, and now we know a lot more than that. So why is this happening?

Well, pharmaceutical and biotech companies are really directly plumbed into governments, they’re plumbed into medicines regulators, there’s this International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities, the UK is a member is New Zealand as a member.

And that’s a direct line into pharmaceutical propaganda and distortion of evidence. And this is driving government opinion. I’m just Jacinda Ardern has famously said the government should be your only source of information.

Well, her only source of information is pharmaceutical companies. And that, you know, I don’t like to use the word, conspiracy, but it’s a coalition of information systems, mainstream media systems, governments, and biotech companies who are ideologically committed to a biotechnology future.

And that’s a really dangerous future.

We’re facing a different kind of war together. We’re facing a title war, a temple biological war.

Mark Steyn

Why do you think in the normal course of events, there should be room for a diversity of opinion of this. Now, you’ve written about, for example, these German and Polish studies, these are not countries that we think of as fringe countries full of Kooks who’ve cooked this thing up.

Why do they not get more play? Why two years in, is the media still so invested in the official narrative, and only that

Dr. Guy Hatchard

There’s a lot of money riding on it, I think. You know, Biotechnology is seen as the future. And that runs through the whole political and economic system that we have.

And if, if this, if it was to get out, for example, and be accepted, which it should be, that the disease was caused by, it was created in a lab, and the vaccine is created in a lab, people would start to realise that we’re facing something that we’ve never faced before, which is indiscriminate war.

BioTE biotech war is, is a kind of what it’s called the psychology of the serial killer. Any victim will do. Friend or foe. And the more the merrier. Because these diseases, these pathogens do not distinguish between people and countries.

This is a frightening prospect, were and it has to be stopped. But stopping that would change a whole system, which is predicated on the technological evolution of medicine. Whereas in fact, you know, 95% of our health is actually what we eat and what we do how we conduct ourselves.

Mark Steyn

Yeah. No, you’re absolutely right about that. And that’s why I find the most fascinating thing, the stark contrast between excess mortality. That’s as basic an indicator as you can get.

And the fact that when the COVID was rampaging around, there was ultimately no increase in excess mortality because it targeted, basically the very old, then we switch things up.

We come up with these vaccines, and we insist on doing something that’s never been done before where we say basically, everybody on the planet has to get this stuff injected into their arm, including people who are at no risk whatsoever, such as people in young middle age, in the flower of youth, or even primary school children.

So we insist that all of those people have to get jabbed with this stuff. And there is a discernible uptick in excess mortality. And yet, we’re not permitted to talk about it.

Dr. Guy Hatchard

Absolutely. You can’t go there, you can’t talk about it whatsoever. And that is being curated by governments and being suppressed by media. And it’s not a rational argument.

I think one thing we have to realise Mark that we’re not involved in a rational argument here. It’s not a question of sitting down with someone and saying, let’s look at the science because I was in a position at the start here of corresponding with people who were advising the government.

And when I started to raise some doubts, and say, well, look the side effects don’t look good, then the conversation finished. And it was a point of faith that the vaccine was a standalone solution.

And this has been a point of faith in an increasingly, kind of commercially orientated medical system, that vaccination is the standalone solution.

Whereas in fact, the central underpinning factors of health are, what we eat, how we exercise, how well we sleep, how well we, you know, conduct ourselves. So we enjoy and we’re not stressed, these other real factors of health.

I suggested right from the start here. I said to the government, we have to go ahead and have a programme to help people improve their health habits, but that was completely rejected. No, we’re going to go with vaccination.

Mark Steyn

Yeah, we, for example, obesity is one of the factors, the most serious underlying conditions if you’re 40 pounds overweight, or whatever. That’s more determinant of how you’re going to handle COVID than anything.

But what I can’t understand now is why there must be discussion of some of this at the highest levels in government. And yet governments around the world, in Canada, for example, you can’t get on a train unless you’ve been vaccinated.

So you’re stuck where you are, you can’t take a train from Montreal to Toronto unless you’ve got proof of your vaccination status. How can they still insist on that? Given A what happened with the Omicron? So we’ve seen it makes no difference and B what these the disturbing questions these studies are raising.

Dr. Guy Hatchard

It’s a form of hubris. People have started to play God.

I think you can see this in politics is that your last guest was talking about this, that people really believe in themselves and their authority. Our whole system of having stakeholders has disappeared.

Historically, democracy had stakeholders. And it dates right back to King John and the Magna Carta when he had to, instead of he had to rule with the Barons instead of over them.

And we have had scientists, we have had people in medicine and so on. And the government has moved away from that model. They no longer have stakeholders, they play it more like a reality TV game where there’s only one winner and he tells every way he gets all the money and he tells everyone what to do.

And, this kind of psychology is wrapped up with it. Plus, there’s this idea that has been sold to everyone that biotechnology is going to cure every disease. And this is the big lie.

Look at the research. It’s highly mutagenic. It’s the gene therapy that has been huge over the last 30 years. It’s not working.

Mark Steyn

Now, that’s a very good point. And it’s good of you to remind us of Magna Carta, we need to get some of these guys into a big baggy field off the River Thames and do that to them all over again.

Thank you very much Guy.

We’re gonna stay on this and we will watch we will read what you write and we will watch for other studies from Germany and Poland and such places.

Covid-19 Has Given Western Democracies a Bad Case of Dementia

0

Today Jacinda Ardern announced an end to vaccine mandates for just a couple of government departments including education, a decision that she was probably about to lose in court anyway, but she allowed private employers to continue to require vaccination for their employees.

No one already sacked through her mandates has to be rehired. The confusing traffic light system, mask wearing, hand washing, and general hand wringing is set to continue. Mainstream media bewailed the minor loosening of restrictions.

The level of government misinformation, projected through saturation advertising over two years, has cemented primitive fears. Predictably tonight’s Twitter was filled with thousands of paranoid parents who fear their children may now encounter an unvaccinated teacher. One said

“Hell knows no fury like my hatred for the willingly unvaccinated”.

The NZ Herald inexplicably advised its readers:

“Most Covid patients in the Omicron outbreak are vaccinated, but that is no reason to doubt vaccine benefits”

Current New Zealand daily data shows the percentage of hospitalized vaccinated patients is running at about the same level as the percentage of vaccinated among the general population.

But the unvaccinated are being blamed and hated. Why? Government propaganda and distortion of science is to blame for a lamentable level of ignorance and fear in a small country a long way from anywhere else.

Hard Won Rights are Being Forgotten

Perhaps employment ‘rights’ were not so hard won here as they have been in the USA and the UK.

Maybe we have too few collective cultural memories of past struggle for recognition and fairness to call upon. Will no one stand up and remind us all that freedom did not grow on trees?

The problem is not confined to New Zealand. The pandemic has led us to forget how democracy works. The idea seems to have taken hold that, rather like a reality TV competition, there should be only one winner. My way or the highway is the order of the day.

Prime Ministers are flexing their muscles and telling us that they alone control the truth. In the background, pharmaceutical companies are pulling the puppet strings.

Historically democracy has had stakeholders. No government rules alone. Scientists and inventors heralded the industrial revolution which increased comfort.

Doctors and nurses improved hygiene which helped us all to live a longer life. Educators, artists, and writers inspired the enlightenment. Farming efficiency nourished us.

And let us not forget the sun, the seasons, the rains, the soil, plants, and animals; without these no government can function. 

Governments are Gathering More Power to Their Inept Hands

During the pandemic we have been treated like kindergarten children: “do as I say or else”. In fact, not even a kindergarten child should be addressed like that.

In the hands of politicians, science has become dogma, and fear has become the means of enforcing compliance. This is a rather curious turn of events.

Just when modern technology offers the means and prospect of greater communication and participation in democratic processes, our politicians want to control or shut down our conversations.

And ‘social’ media giants are willing co-conspirators.

The courts, the independent regulators, the media, and the medical profession have all forgotten their respective roles. I remember Master of the Rolls, Lord Chief Justice Denning addressing Birkbeck College commencement:

Justice is what right thinking men consider to be fair between man and man and in these days between man and the state,” (please forgive his antiquated use of gender, it was a long time ago).

His emphasis was on right thinking. This was a time when speaking the truth was supposed to be of importance to those leading society, taking decisions, passing judgements, and offering advice.

Discovery of the truth, both spiritual and material, was at one time the task of everyone. 

Democracy Has Forgotten Its Roots

Now democracy truly has forgotten its roots entirely—this is the stuff of social unrest and instability. This morning former Prime Minister John Key pointed out that no society can survive if it excludes a significant percentage of the population from employment and the economy, as Ardern has done.

It should be obvious, but somehow it is not.

Justin Trudeau, Scott Morrison, and Jacinda Ardern have demonstrated that they come from immature democracies.

When these commonwealth countries loosened their ties with Britain, they forgot to strengthen their ties to concepts of Common Law which go right back to the Magna Carta when King John realised he had to rule with the Barons not over them. Boris Johnson and Joe Biden are not far behind.

Constitutional safeguards, if they did exist, have been ignored. International agreements forgotten, especially those dating from the second world war. Medical ethics abandoned.

Price fixing is taught in business schools as best practice. The most underhand of exploiters are lauded as heroic figures, in a culture dominated by the pursuit of money without morality.

Young people today want to enjoy themselves, they value freedom, they travel and realise that they have more in common with people of all nations, and less that divides.

Yet leaders delight in creating division and demonising whole populations. Jacinda Ardern smirked when she conceded that NZ was now a two-tier nation.

Our leaders are engaged in a psychological, ideological, military, and economic struggle in competition with the leaders of other nations, in a theatre far removed from and irrelevant to our everyday life.

The pandemic has brought out the worst in democracy. Now that it is coming to an end, it is time to regain our memory and reassess our priorities.

Modern communication technology can be harnessed to extend democracy to be an inclusive process that echoes the voices of many.

Centralisation of power has failed us. Cooperation, truth, and public service are the forgotten principles of democracy.

There is no shortage of tasks but lots of means to accomplish them if we reopen the door to rational thought, shared responsibility, and individual initiative. 

It is time for democratic and constitutional reform and the restitution of rights of medical choice. 

Instead our government has gazetted new laws to restrict the availability of traditional natural products and remedies. The puppet masters are still pulling the strings.

Newly Published Study Finds Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Affects Brain Immunity and Cell Function in Vitro

A new preprint study conducted in Poland and published at bioRxiv investigates the effect of mRNA vaccine on glial cells in vitro (outside the physiology). Its conclusions point to possible effects of mRNA vaccines on crucial brain functions.

Glial cells or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal column and the peripheral nervous system, that do not produce electrical impulses.

They maintain homeostasis and form the white fatty coating called myelin which protects axons—the electrical communication pathways between neurons.

Glial cells have several main functions in the brain including:

  1. to surround neurons and hold them in place;
  2. to supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons;
  3. to insulate one neuron from another;
  4. to destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons.
  5. to protect the integrity of the blood-brain barrier
  6. to facilitate neurotransmission and synaptic connections
  7. to support physiological processes like breathing

Glial cells have far more cellular diversity and functions than neurons, and glial cells can respond to and manipulate neurotransmission in many ways.

Additionally, glial cells can affect both the preservation and consolidation of memories and are understood to be involved in cognitive processes.

The authors of the paper were mainly engaged in demonstrating the effectiveness of new RAMAN imaging technology for use in the investigation of alterations in biochemical pathways associated with cancer development.

However, their research unexpectedly revealed a range of effects of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine on mitochondria which amount to reductions in immune responses by glial cells which normally operate to support the immunity and functioning of the brain.

The authors conclude:

“We observed the effect of the mRNA vaccine on biodistribution of different chemical components, particularly cytochrome c, in the specific organelles of human brain glial cells: nucleus, mitochondria, lipid droplets, cytoplasm, rough endoplasmatic reticulum and membrane.

“We showed that mRNA vaccine (Pfizer) changes mitochondria by downregulation of cytochrome c resulting in lower effectiveness of respiration (oxidative phosphorylation) and lower ATP production. It can lead to lower immune system response.”

The authors further conclude that alterations in lipid (fat) production at the mitochondrial membrane are consistent with changes normally associated with increased aggressiveness of brain cancers and cell death.

This is a highly technical paper which is explained in a video here.

The study was conducted outside the brain in vitro (cellular research in vivo, inside the brain, is beyond present technical means) so its conclusions are subject to caution.

Moreover, for the same reasons, we do not know how much, or if, the Pfizer mRNA vaccine penetrates into the brain. The study is also a preprint, which means it has not yet undergone extensive peer review although it has been judged suitable by bioRxiv for public release and comment.

Nevertheless its conclusions are highly concerning. They are consistent with other studies showing that the Pfizer mRNA degrades immune response and they indicate the need for further research in this direction.

We have previously written that insufficient information is available about the effect of mRNA vaccine on higher human functions.

Most of all, this study confirms that the introduction of mRNA vaccines was rushed without sufficient safety testing of long term and broader spectrum secondary effects.

It also confirms that the introduction of active genetic sequences mRNA into the human physiology can have serious effects on stability (homeostasis) and mutagenesis through reduced immune capability.

Molecular and electrical pathways in the brain are tightly controlled, energised, and protected through gene-based functions. Interference with gene function can have multiple unexpected outcomes as happened here to brain cells in vitro.

The study authors imply that there may be accelerated death of glial cells whose functions, listed at the start of this article, support crucial brain processes.

This study underlines how far removed the global Covid pandemic response has been from a precautionary approach. Our government should take note.

Launching novel genetic technologies in a hurry without adequate testing can result in uncontrolled serious adverse outcomes.

We Live in a Very Dangerous World

0

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 ‘Total War’.

Waging Total War involved targeting civilians to persuade governments to surrender, and the ‘cleansing’ of the intelligentsia and ethnic populations in conquered territories.

This strategy found its apogee in nuclear war—whole 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:

“…the 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.

“Although 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.

“The 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.”

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 ‘cures’ 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 world’s 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 rapist—the 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

“Would you wanner just dump (mandates) entirely never to be seen again? Whilst they might not have a use for us right now..”

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 Fiction 

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.

The Problems With Our Pandemic Response Run Deep

Slowly but surely the truth is seeping out, and it is not pretty. On May 6 2021 a preprint paper was published on medRxiv The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 reprograms both adaptive and innate immune responses

This paper, which caused little stir at the time, reports that the body’s first immune defense against illness — T-cells — are suppressed following Pfizer mRNA vaccination. The paper summarised:

“In 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.”

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 ‘get out of jail free’ card

If T-cells are suppressed, cancers receive a ‘get out of jail free’ 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 wasn’t 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 we really don’t want to get into that”.

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.

Why Did the Government Hide Data From the Public?

Have The NZ Government Sought to Hide Covid Vaccination Risks?

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 government’s 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 work—money.

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.

The full strategy and figures haven’t been released by the government (an answer to an OIA request contains significant redactions), but these are some of the mostly secondhand reports we have received:

  • 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)
  • 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: ‘vaccinate’.

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.

New Zealand Takes The Fifth

0

As you probably know, ‘taking the fifth’ 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 ‘take the fifth’ 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 ‘take the fifth?

The curious lack of public dialogue, the refusal to meet protestors, and Ardern’s famous dictum that ‘the government is your only source of truth’, all point in this direction.

I would like to ask: 

“When did the New Zealand government first receive the Pfizer Adverse effects report completed on 30th April 2021?”

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.

‘Taking the fifth’ 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 ‘consultative’ processes followed by government departments and private companies in order to ‘legally’ sack their unvaccinated employees also have a familiar ring.

Long scientific submissions by employees facing the loss of their profession and livelihood, are stamped ‘considered’ 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 won’t 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 won’t have escaped your notice that such a system allows for the abuse of power. In common with many other western 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 raised ‘refusal to engage in a dialogue’ 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 disaster—they are taking the fifth.

Good advice would be prepare for a different future. Failures in education and healthcare will need to be redressed. Narrow specialisation has left many ‘experts’ 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 a ‘right of reply’, I wasn’t. 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” 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.”

New Data Is Confirming Increases in All-Cause Deaths Associated With mRNA Covid Vaccination

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 week’s 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 exercise”.

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 ‘mRNA vaccination’.

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 didn’t provide any data on how many of the modest number of deaths were ‘with Covid’ and how many were ‘because of Covid’.

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 wasn’t 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 hasn’t really talked about is their failure to upgrade the emergency departments of New Zealand hospitals (they’ve 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 wouldn’t know it unless you moved beyond government propaganda.

The unqualified ‘explainers’ 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 hasn’t 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 isn’t 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.

Guy Hatchard PhD Answers Questions From Keith Lynch at Stuff Newspaper

0

This morning I received an email from Keith Lynch, ‘Science Explainer’ at Stuff newspaper. Apparently Keith intends to write a ‘hit piece’ on me in Monday’s Stuff. Keith’s letter is below in black.

Updates:
March 15, 2022: Keith Lynch’s “hit piece” Covid 19 NZ: The strange story of a man who has found fame in the anti-vaccination ecosystem

March 18, 2022: Daily Telegraph New Zealand article: Stuff.co.nz’s Guy Hatchard hitpiece: Playing the man and not the ball

Based on Stuff’s continuing approach to attack unvaccinated people in the public eye or in elected positions without offering them any ‘right of reply’, 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 Bloom’s 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 ‘beliefs’ 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 wife’s 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:  “The Covid-19 vaccines are not “genetic engineering” in that sense — they do not involve any modification or manipulation of our genes or DNA.”

What do you make of it? https://www.miu.edu/admissions/coronavirus

MIU is not ‘my own university’. 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 “The Pandemic of Biotechnology” 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.”

Do you reject this? https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.11.22269045v1.full-text

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 “equal opportunity virus” 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. 

– I also noted you continued to claim the vaccine was man-made. This is despite a range of studies emerging suggests it originated at the Wuhan Market – https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/02/26/science/covid-virus-wuhan-origins.html

The article in the NY Times (a newspaper) has been widely lampooned, it reported a ‘study’ 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.”

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 wasn’t a ‘claim’ it was a question. Why doesn’t 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 haven’t 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 haven’t you been asking the Prime Minister? Why has the Health Forum NZ page been deleted by FB—the 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: ‘Thank God I’ve had the vaccine. Now I get on with my retirement and enjoy life.’

Do you have any proof the vaccine was involved in this man’s death?

He suffered known mRNA vaccine injuries—heart 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 Ardern’s 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.

I’d 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 government’s 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 one’s 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.

Are Unvaccinated People at Serious Risk From Omicron in NZ?

0

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 Hendy’s 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 Matatini’s 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.

This is a statistical sleight of hand used to make a risk factor appear more significant than it actually is. You see it all the time in news stories about food: “Why eating just one sausage a day raises your cancer risk by 20 per cent 

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 Wilson’s prediction: 4 x 21,038 = 84,152 cases. This equates to 2% of the total population of 5,084,000 being infected. 

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%. 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 child—all 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 don’t know) of the Covid hospitalisations will be with Covid, not because of Covid, we need to ask ourselves: 

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.
