From our unique perspective in New Zealand there is probably no more twisted tale of the pandemic than the transformation of medical ethics.

Due to our closed borders, New Zealand has so few Covid cases (18,000 at the time of writing) and almost no Covid deaths (53), that our pandemic medical history so far has been largely about isolation, vaccination, and testing.

The political history of the pandemic has been about control of our borders, the creation of fear, and public assurances of the absolute safety of mRNA vaccines.

In contrast, the official count of adverse effects of Pfizer Covid vaccination stands at 50,000 and the death toll proximate to vaccination at 130+.

Due to under reporting, both these figures are known to be huge underestimates.

The excess all-cause non-Covid deaths during the vaccine rollout has been reliably measured at 2000+.

Alarming rise in illness following vaccination

Despite this, booster shots are being heavily advertised and mandated in the absence of unequivocal evidence of benefit, and the presence of ample evidence of an increased danger of adverse effects.

Nor at any point has there been any serious account of our lack of knowledge of the long term effects of mRNA vaccination. Certainly there is increasing evidence of harm from vaccination.

For example, painstakingly collected accurate data from the US military points to massive rises in disease rates in many serious categories of illness including a 3x rise in cancers.

There has been a concerted effort to keep this story out of mainstream media. The cover up is almost a bigger story than the actual data.

https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/this-medical-data-from-the-us-dod

Along with reports of vaccine injury, there has been a steady stream of papers published recently which are beginning to elucidate very worrying mechanisms underlying vaccine injury.

Initial expectations were that after stimulating spike protein production sufficiently to induce an immune response, mRNA genetic sequences in the vaccines would dissipate rapidly, and therefore safely.

A study published in the journal Cell on 24th January 2022 shows that the mRNA sequences can persist in lymph node germinal centres for weeks causing greater spike havoc than Covid infection itself.

https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)00076-9

The official reports of vaccine adverse effects in New Zealand are running at 30 times the rate of reported injuries from prior flu vaccines.

The Fact That This Has Not Rung Alarm Bells is Incomprehensible

The fact that the government has persisted with its saturation advertising announcing the safety and necessity of Covid vaccination is doubly concerning.

It is apparent from the failure to investigate alarming data, that the practice of medical ethics has transformed to become almost unrecognisable.

Medical Ethics

A common framework used when analysing medical ethics is the “four principles” approach postulated by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress in their textbook Principles of Biomedical Ethics.

It recognizes four basic moral principles, which are to be judged and weighed against each other, with attention given to the scope of their application. The four principles are:

• Autonomy – the patient has the right to refuse or choose their treatment. This is rooted in society’s respect for individuals’ ability to make informed decisions about personal matters with freedom.

• Beneficence – a practitioner should act in the best interest of the patient and their family. In other words, healing is the aim of medicine.

• Non-maleficence – to not be the cause of harm. Many consider this should be the primary consideration—that it is more important not to harm your patient, than to do them good, which is part of the Hippocratic oath that doctors take.

• Justice – concerns the fair distribution of scarce health resources, and the decision as to who gets what treatment.

In practice, however, many treatments carry some risk of harm. In some circumstances, e.g. in desperate situations where the outcome without treatment will be grave, risky treatments that stand a high chance of harming the patient could be justified.

This is because the risk of not treating is also very likely to do harm.

So the principle of non-maleficence (non-harm) is not absolute, and balances against the principle of beneficence (doing good).

This has particularly affected debates around the promotion to doctors by drug companies of strong narcotics such as Oxycodone which is highly addictive and whose overuse commonly leads to respiratory failure and death.

Application of Medical Ethics

It can readily be appreciated that the debate around how to apply medical ethics to medical practice has some grey areas and deficiencies.

Medical misadventure is now the third leading cause of death in the USA.

Has this led to an acceptance of risk that should in fact be avoided?

In large part the rules being applied to drug approval are in fact very strict.

Double blind trials are required. Lengthy periods of assessment are mandated.

Deaths following treatment are investigated and usually trials are suspended when these occur.

Generally for vaccinations, assessment takes around ten years and 2 deaths per million recipients would be the maximum allowed in a finally approved product.

In complete contrast, the pre-approval trial periods for Covid-19 vaccines have been of the order of 6 months.

The critical assessments of secondary effects have not been undertaken.

These are aimed to check that general health outcomes for trial participants such as cardiac conditions and cancers do not exceed population norms.

Note the US military data here. Clearly serious injury and deaths associated with Covid-19 vaccinations have exceeded the traditional limits by a massive margin.

Moreover outcomes proximate to vaccination reported through VAERS cover a very wide range of conditions.

Have professional medical bodies raised the alarm? No. Why?

Why Were Principles of Medical Ethics Ignored?

Initially there were reports that Covid-19 was a very serious illness with mortality rates as high as 5% mentioned.

The reports of mass deaths and lockdowns in Wuhan added to the perception that we were facing the worst pandemic since the 1918 flu. Figures as high as 180,000 deaths in New Zealand were predicted.

Fearing the worst, draconian lockdowns, border closures, and mass vaccination seemed to be not only justified but absolutely necessary.

The Principle of the Double Effect from medical ethics whereby beneficence is weighed against non-maleficence seemed to be almost irrelevant in the looming crisis.

This alarmist assessment rapidly dissipated.

Published studies put mortality rates well under 1%, there was a realization that serious Covid outcomes and deaths primarily occurred among those who were already seriously ill or physically weak due to other causes including advanced age—in other words Covid was not the sole cause of deaths.

During the early months of 2021, it was also apparent that mRNA vaccines waned in effectiveness rapidly and did little to stop transmission.

The only principles of medical ethics that seemed still to be appropriate were those of justice and beneficence.

Reports suggested that Covid vaccination reduced the severity of illness; might it not be beneficial to the individual and save our over-stretched health service from becoming overwhelmed by unvaccinated Covid patients, thereby advantaging patients requiring treatment for other conditions?

Despite doubts about the outcome data and mounting evidence of vaccination harm, the answer given to this by the New Zealand government was a big YES.

The government pointed to some high overseas patient loads and decided to mandate vaccination to the extent that the unvaccinated would lose their right to employment.

They thereby overruled the first principle of medical ethics autonomy—patient choice, a degree of coercion that ensured vaccination rates in New Zealand rose above 90% among those eligible.

Reports of Vaccine Injury in New Zealand

The Health Forum NZ is a FB, Telegram, and MeWe site with 50,000+ members which has served as a meeting and information place for vaccine injured.

Users are able to report their personal experiences. New Zealand has a population of 5 million so Health Forum NZ members comprise 1% of the population.

The Health Forum NZ has received reports of 600+ deaths proximate to vaccination.

300+ of these have been investigated and confirmed by NZDSOS (NZ Doctors Speaking Out on Science) a voluntary group of medical doctors.

Looking through the thousands of reports of vaccine injury and death throughout the Health Forum NZ FB site, one is struck not only by the serious nature of vaccine injuries but particularly the multiple experiences of GPs and hospital doctors dismissing serious injuries and conditions as unrelated to vaccination without careful consideration.

The most common among the reports of serious vaccine injury are chest pain, arrhythmia, shortness of breath, and related experiences of persistent extreme fatigue and debility.

Sometimes these develop as cardiac events, clotting, stroke, and death. Many result in loss of capacity to work.

They are heart wrenching stories, but the rejection of responsibility by medical services adds another level of concern when reading the accounts.

There are many experiences of being assured that they were over anxious and being sent home with an aspirin, only to suffer immediate complications necessitating admission to hospital care.

Some people reported that many others were in hospital with similar outcomes at the same time.

Sometimes sufferers are made to wait many hours or even more than 24 hours in rare cases before being seen by a doctor, only to find that the doctor is uninterested and dismissive when he hears that the injury followed vaccination.

This is not universal, some, probably most, doctors and medical staff are very caring and concerned.

Nevertheless reports of dismissal of serious injuries as inconsequential by GPs and hospital staff are sufficiently numerous to form a pattern that demands further consideration.

The NZ Government Stonewalled Calls for Accurate Data Collection

Our government decided early on not to take the reporting of adverse effects following vaccination seriously.

They denied repeated requests to make the reporting of adverse events mandatory with the result that there has been no way of knowing the extent of vaccine injury.

Medsafe already knew that the voluntary system in place had a history of catching only 5% of adverse events.

Their decision flouted the most important principle of medical ethics non-maleficence—do no harm.

It also enabled the government and the whole medical establishment to avoid any public discussion of adverse events.

Jacinda Ardern famously arranged for the hurried deletion of over 30,000 reports of adverse events from her FB account.

Why did our authorities do this?

The government opted for a stand-alone vaccination strategy because they believed assurances of safety and efficacy from Pfizer.

Consequently they wished to avoid anything that would lead to vaccine hesitancy.

Almost immediately and before any decision on mandates, we found out vaccine effectiveness waned rapidly and did little to reduce transmission, directly contradicting Pfizer trial results.

The Government and the Ministry of Health switched arguments— “millions of people had received the vaccine worldwide so it must be safe and effective”.

A vacuous argument from a scientific point of view.

Almost a hundred thousand people were prescribed Thalidomide before it was realised that it was unsafe.

The medical ethics criteria of justice—public good and beneficence—patient well being, are not usually weighed in the absence of considerations of maleficence and autonomy.

Thus the stance of the government, to sweep vaccine injury under the carpet, departed radically from previous ethical practice.

This kind of departure is only entertained in times of war when the threat to the nation and the whole population is judged to be sufficient to mandate military service call up and tolerate the inevitable heavy casualties of conflict. This condition was of course not met in any way by the Covid pandemic.

Why Didn’t Multiple Reports of Injury Raise the Alarm?

The mounting numbers of individuals reporting vaccine injuries to their GPs and at hospital EDs, should have raised alarm bells to a point that detailed investigation of their actual extent became a priority.

Instead and inexplicably, hiding their occurrence rose to the top of the government’s agenda.

Jacinda Ardern lashed out at a journalist asking questions about the death of a 17 year old girl suffering a stroke and dying immediately following vaccination, labelling the journalist as irresponsible and denying any relationship with vaccination before there had been any time to assess causation.

This set the tone for the whole machinery of government including the Ministry of Health and the medical profession.

A few medical professionals were disciplined for raising similar questions. This was enough to discourage any public consideration of the ethics involved.

BUT it should have been otherwise.

Ethical considerations extend to individual judgements.

Every medical professional exposed to repeated presentations of vaccine injury should have blown the whistle.

The important point to note is that the quality and extent of life of thousands of individuals including young children are at issue.

There is and always has been an ethical imperative to provide proper informed consent, honour personal choice, and protect them from harm.

It is evident that there has been a concerted attempt within the medical establishment and the government to change this and normalise high casualties of a novel vaccination.

The NZ Government Doubled Down on Ignorance

The government decided to further reverse ethical practice.

Dr Ashley Bloomfield, Director General of Health, has the personal responsibility for granting vaccine exemptions to those injured by the first shot.

In almost all cases, he refuses exemptions including among those hospitalised and still ill, even when there is supporting documentation from specialists.

Now that extensive research has concluded that the outcomes for Omicron patients are similar for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated, there is no longer a valid scientific argument for justice and beneficence.

All ethical arguments for mandates are moot, but why is there still no move to protect individuals from the adverse effects of vaccination?

Criminal Liability at Stake

All of our arguments point to a deliberate attempt by a number of key players to pervert the application of medical ethical principles.

In this situation, pretending to be an uninvolved bystander is not an ethical option.

As mounting evidence has been ignored, government decisions verge towards the criminal.

Deliberately suppressing debate is a further step into criminal territory. The historical precedents are obvious.

There are floundering attempts by the media to label mandate protestors as variously right-wing extremists and uneducated Luddites.

Considered in the light of scientific publications, this appears as prejudice and a weak attempt to avoid censure for poor reporting.

The arguments in support of mandated vaccination are still being presented to the public through strident political rhetoric unsupported by science publications.

The government must realise that there are serious scientific and ethical failings involved.

It must mount an honest attempt to change the debate from politics to science, and adjust public policy accordingly.

At this stage, anything less is culpable.

Our island nation has a remarkable history of both tolerance and morality. We are far away from most of the world with a natural need for self-reliance and self-sufficiency.

Like survivors cast away on a desert island, our safety and progress depends on our capacity to cooperate and assist one another—all of us are in the same waka.

In 1893 for example New Zealand became the first nation to grant votes to women. Until recently, successive governments have sought to maintain equality before the law.

We were early adopters of a universal national health policy. Our accident compensation insurance scheme is a no-fault system that acts as a safety net for everyone.

In a nation prizing self-reliance, homeownership at 74% in 1991 was among the highest in the world.

We have stood up to nuclear proliferation and sought to contribute to global initiatives in favour of peacekeeping and fairness.

We believe we are independent thinkers. As a trading nation we expect to be well informed about global trends.

Our government’s draconian response to Covid-19 has come as a huge shock to many of us.

We are asking ourselves “Why and how did this happen to us?”.

Our situation has a history. We certainly underestimated the effects of globalisation and the national vulnerabilities it has created.

In 2009/10 Jacinda Ardern, a newly elected MP, gave a Q & A session at Auckland University Law School, my daughter asked her ‘How does she manage if she disagreed with her party on an issue?’.

Ardern replied that it is unimaginable that such a situation would arise. Every single thing my party thinks, I think. I couldn’t entertain a different opinion than my party.

No surprise then that Ardern expects absolute obedience under her leadership.

She micromanages her government and MPs. No surprise also that having formed opinions, Ardern does not feel a need to reconsider them.

An End to Open Government

Ardern’s legacy in New Zealand is the closure of open government.

The Ministry of Health is busy hiding outcome statistics.

OIA requests are treated in a cavalier fashion as Andrea Vance at Stuff reports

Stuff.co.nz article: This Government promised to be open and transparent, but it is an artfully-crafted mirage

The Broadcasting Standards and Advertising Standards Authorities have both ruled that their supposed watchdog role is subservient to Ministry of Health policies—no need to look beyond government advice.

The courts have summarily dismissed suits against mandates and ruled that the New Zealand Bill of Rights can be circumvented.

The Ministry of Health has denied requests for mandatory reporting of vaccine injuries, thereby hiding their extent (which is 30 times greater than any prior vaccine).

Children 12-18 can be vaccinated at school WITHOUT their parents permission, government advertising encourages them to do so.

Given the constant slick saturation advertising which we sit through every day and night on YouTube, television and radio telling us that the Covid Pfizer vaccination including the booster is safe, desirable, essential, and protective against all variants, it is no surprise that this has split New Zealand down the middle.

Footage of teens concluding ‘sweet as’ and ‘safe for summer’ only encourage scapegoating of the unvaccinated.

Children are offered free food and treats to present for vaccination. Unvaccinated children have been denied access to school activities as a further incentive to ignore their parent’s wishes.

Doctors asking questions are deregistered or prevented from consulting, one was recently for ‘too vigorously promoting the concept of informed choice’.

A Hermit Kingdom

Our borders have remained all but closed for two years, cutting off one million Kiwis living overseas from their families and roots.

Ardern has hinted that there will be a permanent quarantine arrangement to enter New Zealand.

If you read international reports you are asking why is our policy so out of step with other countries like Sweden, UK, and Denmark?

If you follow the government’s advice and limit your sources of information to official announcements, you are fearful of a killer illness, outraged that not everyone has vaccinated, and disturbed that our government may not be able to afford a fourth booster for everyone.

Families, including mine, have been split down the middle and ceased talking.

Most remarkably New Zealand has all but given up keeping track of the implications of Covid science publishing for government policy.

Ministry of Health websites display discredited information eight months out of date and stoke fear of the dreaded Omicron.

Our Doors Open to Billionaires

It doesn’t stop there. During the last year house prices have risen by 30% as commercial money seeks safe-havens.

What is the government’s response—strict new lending rules which have denied housing loans to people who do even one of the following:

• subscribe to a streaming service
• eat takeaways twice a week
• attend therapy
• have a gym membership
• or buy one coffee a day.

The length of paid maternity leave is curtailed from nine months to three months if you want to qualify for a mortgage.

To police this, banks have been required to troll through minutia of their customer’s spending, intruding on formerly private personal information, and they are liable for a $200,000 government fine if they make a lenient assessment.

Our homeownership rate has fallen to its lowest level in 70 years.

Our tourist industry formerly worth $38 billion a year has disappeared along with the solvency of our hospitality assets.

The Government’s response is that they now wish to go upmarket and designate New Zealand as an exclusive destination for the rich.

Accordingly, billionaires like Peter Thiel are welcome to buy property and settle here to prep for the apocalypse.

A Bad Case of Inflexibility

There is a famous psychological experiment known as the anomalous card experiment. Subjects are presented with playing cards quite rapidly and asked to identify them.

But the pack being used contains a few false cards like a black ten of hearts of a red seven of spades. Subjects start by identifying all cards as real.

They will comfortably assert that the red seven is in fact a spade with no sense of ambiguity. This reaction is known as dominance.

As the pace of presentation of cards is slowed a period of confusion can result, subjects might say I am damned if I know what that one is.

This gets resolved when the subject realises that there are such things as incongruous cards that you would not find in a normal playing deck.

Some subjects however have great difficulty reaching this experience of resolution. Their dominant reaction may continue.

You already know where I am going with this.

Ardern has a dominant personality. She has now reached a stage where the obvious deficiencies in Covid policy and the changed data landscape evident in journal publications are not going to change the course she has already set.

Don’t get me wrong here, Chris Luxon, leader of the opposition, could have an even more severe case of dominance than Ardern.

He has given interviews in which he asserts that mothers with unvaccinated children should be denied government support.

His just released 10 point policy calls for accelerated incentives for Covid vaccination.

His policy does not suggest mandates will be relaxed.

(https://www.thedailyexaminer.co.nz/nationals-10-point-omicron-plan-in-brief)

Where do Ardern’s policies originate?

Ardern’s Covid policies have enjoyed the uncritical support of New Zealand legacy media.

Large cash grants to mainstream media outlets have cemented their support.

This has been ably propped up by the quaint Ardern directive that the government should be your only source of information, all other sources are mere grains of salt.

But where does the government get its information from?

We are told that Ardern begins her day with a cup of coffee and a phone call with Helen Clarke (a former New Zealand PM and Ardern mentor).

Clarke is recognised as a vocal supporter of WHO and advocate of tighter controls on social media content.

My own experience is illustrative. In December, I put up a ten minute video of slides entitled 2021 Covid Stats For Kiwis (link to it below).

It solely contained official New Zealand government statistics about the pandemic and our economy.

It registered 20,000 views in a week but was then taken down by YouTube on the advice of the Ministry of Health.

Under Ardern, if government statistics are an embarrassment, they are hidden from the public.

This allows government policy and propaganda to be formulated detached from reality.

You can watch that video here: A Snap Shot of Covid-19 and Economic Statistics in NZ at the End of 2021

Pharmaceutical professionals welcome Ardern

The Ministry of Health and the vast majority of medical professionals appear to fully support Ardern.

This was helped by the sacking of dissenting GPs and the suspension of all medical professionals who are unvaccinated, including those who advocate alternative remedies.

The fear factor that Ardern promotes is evident here.

Whistleblowers like to remain anonymous and speak in hushed whispers of wards overwhelmed with vaccine-related cardiac case loads.

The links of Ministry of Health with global pharmaceutical based health policies are strong.

Our medicines regulator Medsafe is a member of the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authority (ICMRA), a non-governmental body formed in 2014 which has close links to WHO and the pharmaceutical industry.

It supplies policy documents to Medsafe via a shared database which are used in turn to inform our government Covid policy.

Former labour governments under Clarke have twice tabled legislation to control natural health products using policy information shared by ICMRA.

Both initiatives failed due to vocal public opposition in New Zealand.

The motivation behind such legislation lies with the desire of global pharmaceutical/biotechnology/agrichemical industries to dominate global food chains and over the counter natural remedies.

Even without the legislative controls they seek, food industry additives and highly processed foods ingredients have begun to fall into their hands.

Biotech freely uses the term ‘natural’ to describe food additives and supplements designed in laboratories.

The Ministry of Health has long sought to exclude anything alternative or natural from its practice.

In the nineties, I made a presentation to the Ministry of Health committee which approves new approaches.

I presented published evidence of the benefits of regular short meditation sessions for general health, reduced blood pressure, and enhanced immunity.

The chairman of the committee took me aside at the end of the meeting, put his arm around my shoulder, and said “you know Guy, we are never going to do anything like this, if people get healthy enmass medical professional incomes will fall, no one in our profession wants that.”

Even at this point in time, the determination of our medical profession, led by the Ministry of Health, to maintain the stranglehold of pharmaceutical approaches to health was evident.

Yet the reluctance of the public to fully adopt modern medicine to the exclusion of every other approach was also evident.

Opposition to GM foods and natural health regulation was high.

Ardern Opened the Doors to Foreign Control

For a small country like New Zealand, it was formerly an objective to minimise foreign control by financial giants who are essentially predatory of our national interests.

The developers and manufacturers of new biotechnology medicines were thus well aware that their introduction had to be carefully planned and curated.

Despite the appalling safety record of gene therapy, a biotechnology dream was fashioned by their PR army—a cure for all illnesses and a prescription for long life.

A stream of press statements released overtime began to tease a golden biotech future.

In 2017 a Stuff article listed 93 lobbyists with access to parliament. Among them Medicines New Zealand which lobbied Andrew Little to bypass our drug purchasing agency Pharmac and fund Keytruda.

Stuff.co.nz article: Lobby groups have power but not on the same scale as US

Lobbyists facilitate access to politicians for companies including drug companies.

A great deal of lobbying essentially consists of building relationships and articulating the reasons for policy improvements.

It also includes a process of building up ‘what if’ dreams in the minds of busy politicians.

From her limited grasp of ‘science’ and her almost childish use of the term, Ardern appears unaware of the dangers of foreign influence and an easy prey to imagination.

The Wrong Leaders to Host Change

The world as a whole is certainly facing a raft of serious problems in the not-too-distant future—climate change and associated food shortages, ocean desertification, endangered biodiversity, and environmental pollution.

The frustration with lack of action on these problems has played into a call for stronger action. This has led to calls for stronger leadership.

People like Ardern and Luxon appear to fit the bill, but do they?

Both are controlling personalities born to rule us, but what is really required is carefully balanced knowledge, broad consensus, and continuing feedback as steps are taken, not one way traffic, inflexible ideas, dismissal of questions, and refusal to change course like the leader of the Light Brigade.

The assault on basic freedoms and cultural values will not be easy to rectify.

The climate of regulated and restricted information, media control, and mandated obedience has been cemented into place.

The threshold of magical thinking has been crossed. The endlessly renewed stream of unopposed disinformation stoking fear and division is designed to make us forget who we are and what we stand for.

It is unlikely that any newly elected party will seek to change that.

The growth of power has its own momentum. History however tells another story.

Marginalising and impoverishing large sections of a population through totalitarian control is a well worn path to social disruption and conflict.

Public attitudes have hardened on both sides of an artificial divide, but with over 50,000 New Zealanders reporting vaccine injuries in a country of 5 million, almost everyone now has a friend or family member affected.

The ramping up of a renewed fear-based narrative for Omicron no longer rings true.

Ardern’s net approval rating has plummeted from +55% at the time of the 2020 election to +15% last week.

Now is the time to make our voice heard.

Guy Hatchard PhD was formerly a senior manager at Genetic ID a global food testing and certification company (now known as FoodChain ID)

Jacinda Ardern has redefined ‘kindness’ into something unrecognisable.

As a result New Zealand has become a lawless nation. You cannot live your life without principles, nor can a nation survive without the rule of law.

What are the fundamentals—the sanctity of life, truth, and kindness. I have again been reading the thousands of heart wrenching stories of adverse reactions to vaccination on the Health Forum NZ FB site.

Take the case of hair dresser Jennie (named changed). Reluctant, but required to vaccinate to retain her job, she has suffered a continuing catalogue of blood clots, pain, migraines, and convulsions.

Her doctor advised her that she shouldn’t have the second shot. He applied to the Ministry of Health for an exemption. This was turned down by Dr. Ashley Bloomfield.

So her doctor has suggested she be admitted to hospital while she has the second shot.

The NZ Bill of Rights guarantees that ‘Everyone has the right to refuse to undergo medical treatment’, no ifs or buts.

Except that is unless Dr Ashley Bloomfield decides that you do not have that right. In this he is encouraged by the ‘kindness’ of Jacinda Ardern and the compliance of all political parties.

Who is at fault here? Jennie’s doctor is spineless, he admits privately that the second Pfizer vaccination will expose her to risks commensurate with emergency hospitalisation, yet he hasn’t spoken up publicly.

In this he joins thousands of other NZ medical professionals who have forgotten their Hippocratic oath 

“I will do no harm or injustice to my patients”

Multiple published studies show that the second Pfizer inoculation has stronger adverse reactions than the first. Is that not enough?

Apparently not for virtually our whole professional host of medicos. They have supported a conspiracy of silence.

As there have been 2000 excess all-cause deaths in 2021, the charge is manslaughter. The verdict: Guilty.

Do we have sympathy for the medical profession, because they are clearly in danger of losing their jobs (a few have already) and thereby their capacity to provide assistance?

Yes, we do.

They have been put in this invidious position by Jacinda Ardern and her government fully supported by all NZ political parties.

What should medical professionals do? History comes to our rescue.

In 1939 on Hitler’s express orders under the code name Aktion T4, the euthanasia of men women and children with disabilities and psychiatric disorders began.

As the programme gradually came to public knowledge, there was a huge outcry especially from the church. As a result, in late August 1941, Hitler ordered a stop to the killings.

However in August 1942, the programme resumed in high secrecy and continued to the end of the war. In total 250,000 people were eliminated.

After the war, those doctors who assisted were prosecuted. The key take home from this—public outcry is essential and government secrecy is criminal.

At the moment here in NZ we are suffering from the mainstream media’s refusal to cover vaccine injuries and our government’s black out of discussion of the significant risks of mRNA Covid vaccination.

What is the remedy for this situation?

We have learnt to our cost that the courts will not uphold the provisions of the Bill of Rights. This has thrust NZ into a constitutional crisis. Jacinda Ardern has seized power in a bloody coup.

The blood is that of hundreds of thousands of vaccine injured including Jennie. The quiet complicity of the police, the courts and the medical profession echoes the bystanders in 1930s Germany.

As the storm gathered, they either stood by or joined up. The rhetoric of their leader was both empty of truth and devoid of kindness, it also satisfied an ancient need for a sacrifice.

We have arrived at a similar junction in our island history. We are being sacrificed on the altar of a biotechnology dream. A baseless dream of health on the point of a needle.

Like a hopeless addict encouraging his friends to join him, our government is mandating us all to jump off a cliff. Like the mad dog in Thomas Hardy’s Far From The Madding Crowd herding the sheep over the edge, we are condemned to our fate by a government intent on their own special version of kindness.

Guy Hatchard PhD is formerly a senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food testing and certification company (now known as FoodChainID)

In what might be an alarming augury for the NZ government, I have noticed during the last few days that a number of the provaxx but science-qualified bloggers overseas like Drs Vinay Prasad and John Campbell have begun to ask variations of “What did we do wrong?”. 

Our government could ask similar questions of themselves.

Time to Change Gear Before it is Too Late

How did our government policy and understanding become ‘stuck’, unable to take account of changing scientific publication—about vaccine adverse effects, transmissibility, Covid outcomes, etc?

The impression created overseas by our government’s isolationism and refusal to face alternatives is one of intellectual inadequacy, crusading naïveté, and desire to control the narrative at all costs.

An article in the UK Daily Telegraph today described Ardern as offering ‘a myopic moral vision, with no end in sight’.

Has our government been pushing a less than honest narrative for reasons they are not prepared to discuss?

The public deserves a complete narrative no matter how embarrassing that might be. Science must involve debate, not dogma.

The Pandemic Began with the Ultimate Pharmaceutical Wet Dream

For years the biotechnology industry had been curating a deceptive public relations campaign to convince decision-makers that they were producing a safe genetic cure for all diseases.

A mouth watering prospect for their bottom line.

This deceptive PR has polluted every channel of medical information.

Our government took the bait—hook, line, and sinker.

We gaily sidelined established medical principles of safety testing, ethics, primary care, and prevention.

Chronic illness rates were clearly the main drivers of high Covid mortality, but nothing was relayed to the public that improvements in diet and lifestyle would greatly help survival rates.

Novel, largely untested mRNA vaccination was adopted as a stand alone solution.

From the beginning there was evidence that this was unsupported.

Let’s be absolutely clear, the government was made aware and warned but turned their head and blocked their ears.

Mandatory Reporting was Not Required

As a scientist one of the most appalling mistakes of the government (used in its most general sense to include all aspects of officialdom) was to decide that it was not necessary to have mandatory reporting of adverse effects of Covid vaccination.

This must have arisen from a decision to ‘trust’ Pfizer absolutely.

Given Pfizer’s appalling safety record and the similarly appalling safety record of gene therapy, this was madness.

In essence, it means that all analysis of CARM adverse effects and any comparisons with population norms are utterly meaningless.

In December 2021 the government doubled down on this policy in a letter to myself despite simultaneously admitting that cardiac events were common enough to warrant a special alert to DHBs.

It is worth noting that mandatory reporting of adverse events for a novel medicine is the gold standard, that was heretofore required.

The refusal to follow this protocol can be nothing less than criminal.

Moreover the government saturation advertising that announced and continues to announce Covid vaccination as safe and effective in the face of published studies to the contrary and our own CARM system data is similarly criminal.

The mRNA Vaccine is Not Effective

Long before the mandates came in there was abundant data that the vaccine waned in effectiveness rapidly.

There was also worrying data that areas with high vaccine rates around the world did not have low case numbers and low deaths.

Therefore there was insufficient data to warrant coertion.

All this has been hashed over in so many blogs and letters to the government.

As a statistician, I am very clear from such anomalous data that there are other factors at work that need to be researched very carefully.

Did we get that?

No, we got mandates and we got interdepartmental messaging that the threat of Covid to health was so dire that we could ignore basic principles of disclosure.

Independent watchdogs such as the Advertising Standards Authority were convinced by this dishonest drivel to take a hands off stance.

The latest data released by the UK government itself under OIA puts total deaths solely due to Covid over the whole period of the pandemic at 17,000 not the 155,000 we have been frightened with.

Fortunately now we have whistleblowers, many are just beginning to gain the courage to speak up in the still strangled information deficit of NZ, but here is one senior cardiologist and public health campaigner in the UK Dr Aseem Malhotra

“In the Times newspaper in October I discounted the contribution of the mRNA jab to cardiovascular disease. I now realise I was wrong. We’ve been completely conned and the truth does not look pretty. Time for the whole truth to be unleashed. Everything I know and have learnt from the most reliable pieces of evidence and experts in the past few months has caused me to lose sleep. I feel sick. Good God. What have we done?”

The most significant scientific lesson—genetic vaccine technology is inherently unsafe. The sooner this can be publicly debated the better.

Omicron is Not controlled by Vaccination

How long can the government continue to push vaccine mandates which are draining our economy and ruining small businesses in the face of the ineffectiveness of mRNA vaccines against Omicron, a mild variant that has evolved specifically to evade them.

Our Courts Failed to Protect Our Rights

How did our courts come to the extraordinary decision to sideline the NZ Bill of Rights which should have protected us from medical experimentation and guaranteed our right of choice over medical procedures?

This was an extraordinary failure of natural justice.

The offered excuse was a special case of medical emergency—from which just 50 people have died of Covid over two years, a figure dwarfed by deaths proximate to vaccination.

Did our judges have no sense of the historical events which led to the creation of medical rights?

How can they still see themselves as protectors of Common Law, rather than the enforcers of government policy they have become?

Moreover Dr Ashley Bloomfield seized the opportunity presented by this judicial vacuum, to deny people injured by their first injection any exemption to a second—a callous and essentially punishing attitude which goes against medical ethics; and victimises and endangers people who began by doing their best to comply with government policies.

Media Abandoned their Principle Protective Role

How did our mainstream media decide to become a one-sided propaganda machine of the government?

Did they have no sense of the traditional role of the media to investigate and question events and policy?

In particular, their acceptance of an unwarranted fear narrative was key to the worst outcomes of the pandemic for our society.

Fear is a huge driver of social instability, it truncates rational thought and leads to hasty selfish decisions (whether the threat to life is real or not).

It encourages scape-goating.

The published tabloid-style stories of unrepresentative individuals overseas suffering extreme medical outcomes of Covid were presented as valid sources for public knowledge and expectations, while the equally frightening and relatively common side effects of vaccination here in NZ went unreported.

An unquestioning media support for mandates, in addition to the inexplicable failure to publicise vaccine injuries, also drove divisive attitudes.

It is hard to imagine how the media will regain public trust.

This Story Still Has a Long Time to Run

Vaccine development usually involves ten years of safety testing.

The most highly disadvantaged group in New Zealand facing a most uncertain future are vaccinated individuals who remain part of an on-going genetic experiment.

For example those affected by cardiac events and precursive symptoms have a need for medical monitoring that is not currently being provided.

Our political system has proved inadequate to the task.

Government expenditures to date have almost doubled the national debt. Inflation stands at 5.9%.

Small business, retail, and tourist venture collapses continue.

House prices have rocketed up by 30% as commercial money seeks safe havens.

Our room to manoeuvre is limited.

Begin by uniting a country behind openness and honesty and behind acceptance of difference and diversity.

That will be a good medicine.

Guy Hatchard PhD was formerly a senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food testing and certification company.

On the face of it, New Zealand is a lucky country of five million, affectionately termed Godzone.

For two years, New Zealand has largely avoided Covid by strictly controlling its borders.

During 2021, the Pfizer vaccine was rolled out to 90% of the eligible population.

Therefore in the virtual absence of any confounding effect of Covid infection, NZ should be a unique source of invaluable data on vaccine safety and indeed the government maintains it has all been a huge success.

Accordingly, employees of all government departments are mandated, on pain of losing their job, to be vaccinated.

But this week the government narrative began to completely unravel for a rather obscure reason.

Accident Compensation Commission Overwhelmed

We have a universal government accident compensation scheme (ACC).

Anyone who suffers injury in NZ as a result of any accident, is entitled to claim benefits and compensation from ACC.

In fact, there is no path for personal injury claims with private insurers, they must go through ACC.

As you can imagine, the hardy folk at ACC are tasked with investigating all claims thoroughly to avoid any benefit fraud.

Vaccine injury falls under their jurisdiction, so ACC staff have, uniquely in NZ, been immersing themselves in the torrid details of vaccine injury.

As all injuries go through this single department, ACC knows more about vaccine injury than any other sector of our government or society at large.

The avalanche of claims (which could top 100,000 if the government were to admit liability) and their severity has shocked ACC staff to such an extent that a great many staff members are rightfully concerned that they should not be compelled to vaccinate or boost.

The government, who have been trying to hide the extent of vaccine injury from the public and are eager not to be caught out, have reportedly caved in to ACC staff demands and extended the deadline for mandated vaccination into an uncertain future.

Simultaneously we have heard that the government wishes to avoid liability by arguing that vaccine injuries are not actually accidents but the result of free choices by individuals to undertake an experimental treatment.

Perhaps it wishes to take this stance because of the potentially huge cost of injury claims.

In so doing, is it trying to ignore the fact that it mandated vaccination on pain of loss of employment?

How Do We Know This?

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has famously told the public that “the Government should be your sole source of information”, in her words all other sources of information especially social media are worthless “grains of salt”.

We are a compliant and trusting people by nature, the government’s assurances that the Pfizer vaccine is absolutely safe and effective, were initially embraced rather uncritically, but fortunately we do still talk to one another.

As the vaccine rollout progressed, it became apparent to those adventurous enough to diverge from Jacinda’s strictures by reading foreign media sources, that the mRNA vaccine is rather ineffective and rapidly wears off.

More importantly, the number of people suffering from vaccine injuries is so large, that almost everyone has a few friends, (I have almost a dozen), who have succumbed to serious injury.

The vaccine injury blackout that the government has been able to exert over the media has been so total that the vaccine safety narrative at first proved very robust.

Despite the injury stories circulating among friends and on social media, it was always possible for the government to dismiss the fate of one’s injured friends as rare and unfortunate (if indeed they ever mentioned it).

In fact, many vaccine injured have been trolled on social media for breaking the ‘obviously’ true narrative of safety and made to feel inadequate or worse—the cause of their own injury.

The days of this herd mentality are now numbered.

People have started to blow the whistle—they are largely the source of this article.

How Did NZ Go So Far Down The Rabbit Hole?

For a whole population to be taken in by a false narrative, a lot of factors had to come together.

Yes, there is of course a lot of money to be made by some corporations from vaccines and that is a powerful motivating force, but we shouldn’t underestimate the power of ideas and the mistaken decisions that originate from strongly held beliefs.

The turning point appears to be the case of a 17-year-old girl who died from a stroke immediately following vaccination in September last year.

A media hack quickly picked this up and questioned Jacinda Ardern at her press conference.

Jacinda immediately and forcefully responded that the medical event was unrelated to vaccination.

She described the media questioning as irresponsible.

Her reply appeared designed to squash any narrative that could cause vaccine hesitancy.

This strong response, which was probably not based on any proven information about the case, had the unfortunate effect of setting the tone for all government departments—absence of risk from Covid vaccines became an accepted stance and came to dominate government media advertising.

At that point in time, Jacinda had a strong reputation for honesty and kindness.

Apparently, she decided to use up that political capital to promote a no risk from vaccination policy which she possibly believed was a social good.

A government advisor epidemiologist has privately acknowledged to me that strokes are a known outcome of mRNA vaccination, but our government continues to ignore that this is the case.

ACC staff have denied claims based on injury from heart attacks and stroke, but they are well aware of their rate of incidence.

Why Hasn’t The Medical Profession Taken Vaccine Injury Seriously?

There has been from the beginning an all court press to persuade doctors and nurses to support universal mandated vaccination which, given the high rate of vaccine injuries, rapidly morphed into policies promoting silence about risks.

Doctors expressing caution have been sidelined and unvaccinated professionals have been prevented from working.

Whistleblowers among the medical profession have privately reported wards overwhelmed with cardiac event cases following vaccination including myo- and pericarditis, but hospital policies have ensured that many patients with vaccine injuries go unreported.

Some have been sent home with aspirin.

Staff have been told that they cannot publicly talk about it.

Doctors are afraid they could lose their right to practice if they speak up and some have lost their licence.

At Medsafe (the branch of the Ministry of Health managing medical safety), whistleblowers report staff have been encouraged to keep the wraps on statistics of vaccine injury, by refusing to make reporting of vaccine injury mandatory and by refusing to acknowledge that reports of death proximate to vaccination may be related.

Staff have reportedly been reassured that it is alright to keep mum both because vaccination is a social good, and because Covid itself is such a frightening disease.

Given the government vaccination injury blackout and the general perception in the medical profession of vaccine safety, there have been a number of severe vaccine injuries that have flown under the radar.

I have two friends for example who developed rapid onset leukaemia after vaccination (a known side effect of gene therapy), but whose doctors had no inkling that vaccination should be investigated as a possible cause.

Such rarer cases including cancer, kidney, and liver disease are brushed aside without reporting.

How Were the NZ Media Managed?

The Science Media Centre was set up in 2002 to specifically undermine opposition to GM crops by offering courses and talks for media science correspondents given by qualified ‘experts’.

A central plank of the Science Media Centre is the idea that there are certain areas of science where there cannot be two sides to an argument.

One powerful example of this is climate science.

It has been readily understandable to science correspondents that articles which give credence to climate change deniers should not be given any space, except to lampoon them.

A similar doctrine has emerged with regard to vaccines.

Crucially biotechnology, despite its very poor safety record, has been accorded a similar sacred cow status.

Given the unstable financial situation of the NZ media, significant financial support from the NZ government, probably around $100 million, has helped to promote a universally uncritical stance which has isolated the NZ population from all but adoring elements of global Covid vaccine reporting.

Some investigative journalists have resigned in protest and blown the whistle on mainstream editors who have assiduously edited out discussion of the dire circumstances of some of our vaccine injured.

I was told by one nationally famous radio host that no programmes critical of vaccination safety can be aired.

How Much Has Our Covid Policy Cost NZ?

Here is the rub, NZ government policy has broken the bank.

Grant Robertson, deputy PM and finance mister set aside $62 billion 20 months ago to provide for Covid recovery.

He envisioned this would last for five years. At the time of writing, the government has spent $64 billion and has no money left for the planned fourth booster.

NZ government debt has almost doubled in the space of two years from $69 million 2019 to $123 billion last year.

To put this in perspective, NZ has a population of 5 million, so our rate of government expenditure on Covid per head of population is roughly the same as that in the USA and UK but we have spent that before the disease has even arrived and there is no money left.

Very few improvements have been made to our underfunded and ageing hospital system, because NZ policy was predicated on keeping Covid out while we vaccinated the population and thereby kept everyone safe for the future.

No allowance was made for the vaccine being ineffective or risky.

Now Omicron has arrived, the government is in disarray, imploring the whole population to come for boosters at just that moment when we are waking up to the damage vaccines have already wrecked on our health.

Where Does This Leave NZ Now?

In Walter Scott’s famous phrase:

Oh what a tangled web we weave

When first we practice to deceive

In 2020 it was hard to imagine the sorry consequences of Jacinda Ardern’s quaint faith in vaccination as a stand alone solution, but they are all too evident now.

Among the members of the public who have stood by Ardern and kept a closed mind, there is fear and panic.

This is unfortunately and mistakenly directed at the very small number of unvaccinated NZers who Jacinda tells them will upset her well laid plans by spreading Covid among the faithful.

Most people living overseas will know this for what it is—a red herring.

Omicron is all for equal opportunity—it does not discriminate much between vaccinated or unvaccinated.

The government seems impervious to this reality, happy to blame the unvaccinated for its woes.

We were advised yesterday to wear two masks one on top of the other.

We await our fate.

Your DNA Diet

To find out more Guy Hatchard Ph.D., former senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food testing and certification company, has written a book Discovering and Defending Your DNA Diet.

You may not have noticed this week that our deputy PM Grant Robertson (he who refuses to answer emails about the pandemic because it is nothing to do with him) announced that as things stand there could not be a fourth booster shot.

The reason is more revealing—New Zealand has run out of money.

Covid sure has eaten up the cash.

Grant has spent $64 billion on the pandemic so far (before it has even arrived here) and there is nothing left.

Our annual health budget is a paltry $20 billion, the $64 billion has been in addition to that.

So those of you who were thinking and blogging that the unvaccinated were depriving them of hospital beds might like to rethink.

Perhaps it is profligate spending on the vaccinated which has led to those long queues for tests and treatments for diseases like cancer (10,500 deaths per year) and heart disease (600 deaths per year and rising).

Just 52 people have died of Covid in NZ during the last two years and most of those few left in hospital are double vaccinated.

If you think the opposition will have a different view, think again.

Deputy leader Simon Bridges (he who tried to be prime minister and failed to excite the populace) chided Grant for not having enough of the readies to spend on those tempting fourth boosters.

Bridges urged Robertson to “prioritise funding for vaccines, given the impact this is having on New Zealanders and the economy”.

He is right there, government spending and policy has certainly had an impact on the economy, but why does he want to spend more?

You may be aware that just before Christmas I posted a short video on YouTube about the alarming NZ pandemic spending.

Click on the Video Image above or use this link to watch this video on bichute A Snap Shot of Covid-19 and Economic Statistics in NZ at the End of 2021

After raising 20,000 views in a week, it was taken down because, in the words of the YouTube censorship team, it was not in accord with NZ Ministry of Health guidelines.

If I worked in the Ministry of Health like Director General Dr. Ashley Bloomfield (he who refuses to grant vaccine exemptions to people injured by the first inoculation) I would want to take it down too.

Embarrassment is one of the most painful of emotions that any government department should try to avoid if at all possible.

Although we now live in a North Korean-style enclave (apologies to North Korea, many of you have written to me that North Koreans have more opportunities than we do), it should not have escaped the notice of our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern (she who promised never to introduce vaccine mandates and changed her mind a week later) that many of our sister countries like the UK have announced they are ending all Covid restrictions.

Why are our politicians competing with one another to announce further spending on a dead horse?

According to our local rag the NZ Herald (the paper that uncritically Heralds government policy no matter how silly it is) Omicron is here and has been for a while.

Striking a note of alarm, their lead article warned its readers that this will probably lead to a shortage of toilet paper.

They didn’t lead with our record Trade Imbalance—the second half of 2021 stands at $8 billion, nor on the housing market—houses prices up 30% in 2021, nor on our total loss of tourism formerly worth $38 billion per year, nor on the increase in Government debt in 2021 of $19 Billion.

But that really doesn’t matter because Dr. Ashley Bloomfield and our dear Prime Minister are quite rightly looking out for our mental health by keeping these items of disturbing news safely away from us delicate folk in danger of running out of toilet paper.

Long Live the Republic.
