Admission by Health New Zealand that they recommend the COVID vaccines and flatly refuse to look at their own data or make their own data public for researchers to review.
They admit they don’t look at the evidence of harm and in the same document assure the public there is no evidence of harm.
“We assure people there is no evidence whatsoever that vaccination is responsible for excess mortality in New Zealand and that they can continue to have confidence in vaccines.”
So how can they reassure people that there is no evidence of harm if they haven’t looked at the evidence? They even admit they haven’t looked at the data in the same document:
Health NZ has never engaged in an analysis of the data … publicly released by Mr Young with a view to testing the accuracy of his misinformed claims.
I’ve asked them for their analysis of their own data showing I’m wrong, and they did not reply.
“We will not accept Kirsch’s invitation for a public discussion on the NZ data”
I’ve asked them if I can have a public conversation with their epidemiologists to show me how I got it wrong so they can publicly expose me as a “misinformation spreader” and they refused to do so. Why would they do that? Doesn’t misinformation cause harm? They could easily stop it by accepting my offer.
We will not autopsy anyone who relatives believe were killed by the COVID shots
AI analysis: “Health NZ isn’t practicing science, they are practicing public relations.”
“If people in New Zealand discovered what Medsafe had done, officials would be chased down the streets”
The UK government finally said the quiet part out loud.
After a brutal two-year Freedom of Information war, this month The Telegraph reported the UK Health Security Agency has formally refused to release the detailed data that could show how many people died after the covid injections.
The official reason?
Releasing it “could cause distress or anger” if the truth emerged.
Let that sink in.
Officials mandated the shots. The raw data was shared with pharmaceutical companies.
Then it was locked away from the public – people who trusted the authorities, funded the jabs, and then paid a terrible price.
Dr Clare Craig has been fighting the battle from the start. Since 2023, she’s been trying to access the UK’s pharmacovigilance data. After 15 months of requests, UKHSA finally released it – in a deliberately unusable 1,300-page PDF format. This pattern of obfuscation repeats across countries, including New Zealand.
We know because we’ve tried. Someone at the Ministry of Health told one of our doctors in 2021 that “if people in New Zealand discovered what Medsafe had done, officials would be chased down the streets.”
Officials have the data. Vaccine injury and deaths are still being hidden.
The data is hidden because it’s damning.
The injuries are denied because they’re devastating.
“We are rightly appalled by the genetic effects of radiation: how then can we be indifferent to the same effect in chemicals that we disseminate widely in our environment”.
She also accused the chemical industry of:
“poisoning humanity with the consent of scientists whose knowledge and concept of toxicity dates back to the Stone Age, and we have become the victims of cancer, nerve paralysis, genetic mutations, and…are now in no better situation than Borgia’s guests”.
The veracity of her remarks are borne-out by the severe decline in the health and sustainability of all ecosystems in the decades since then, due largely to changes in agricultural practices which include the subject of this article, namely the use of acidic fertilisers and the use of the ensuing waste product, fluoride, as unregistered, illegal medical treatment for tooth decay in humans with little success but with disastrous adverse effects on all ecosystems.
From before the date of Carson’s comments our environment has been subjected to 30kgs of fluoride per tonne of acidic phosphate fertiliser; augmented by the toxic waste from production at the rate of 1 mg/litre of public drinking water, including that used in food preparation, and preparing infant formula. In addition to fluoride there are significant levels of accumulative heavy metals adding to the neurotoxic load on many metabolic systems in the whole food chain hence environmental, animal and human health, particularly that of the developing child.
ALL Regulatory Authorities have the fundamental obligation, a fiduciary obligation, to act in the interests of the population who have delegated authority to do so.
The history of water fluoridation is rife with the illegal use of this delegated authority by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and therein lie several significant failures including failure to provide ALL relevant information.
Fluoride is shown to harm the brain and reduce IQ.
An excellent short doco about fluoride use in New Zealand’s drinking water, can be found here.
This has resulted in the misleading of Parliament and the people and in courts making decisions based on lack of full disclosure, decisions that demand constitutional judicial review because-
Fluoride is a byproduct of the agrichem industry, and defined as a hazardous substance.
In addition:
a) MoH has taken on sole administration in this matter when:
it has neither the authority, expertise nor knowledge to administer what is an environmental and animal health issue: in fact evidence in the promulgation of this FA suggests they have no expertise or knowledge of the many adverse effects of their pollution of public water supplies for the last 60 years with fluoride and other ecotoxic Hazardous Substances (HS) from the fertiliser industry all of which are accumulative and potentiate each other.
[ii] This role belongs to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) which is the case in the USA, and which has had no role in the promulgation of this FA and failed to provide ALL relevant information to Parliament or courts. EPA have also failed to inform MoH this FA is outside their remit, exceeding their powers..
[iii] The Ministry of Primary industries (MPI) has also failed in their duty to provide relevant information in a matter that has serious repercussions in animal food and health and hence human health issues; this demonstrates the serious lack of competence to fulfil their obligations, including failure to perform due diligence to safeguard the health and safety of the food chain; and to inform MoH this FA contravenes the statutes which MPI administer.
The failure to perform due diligence applies to all areas of government from the Attorney General and Crown Law Office, who drafted the legislation and failed to ensure principles of Constitutional and Administrative Law have been followed, down to local government decision makers,
There is also the complete failure to ensure there is no inconsistency with many other statutes and international Charters and Conventions, especially those relevant to the special needs of the child.
Unlucky for some….
This is why we need to concentrate our efforts on constitutional judicial review of all decisions made and taking into account all the decision makers in this issue of environmental and public health violations.

They will do everything to gaslight you into believing otherwise. The one thing they won’t do is have a civil debate with me on the time-series analysis or explain to anyone how it is wrong.
Executive summary
No country has ever disclosed patient record-level data on any vaccine ever before in history.
The reason for this is not due to privacy concerns. I proved that after I released the NZ data publicly and not a single person could find their records.
The reason that governments don’t release the public health data is that it would reveal that they have been systematically killing their citizens with these “vaccines.”
Finally, one brave guy, Barry Young, an Oracle DBA at Health New Zealand, leaks the data to me. I obfuscated it to preserve privacy, and then made it publicly available for everyone to see.
Health New Zealand chief executive Margie Apa blows a fuse and has my Wasabi site taken down (so I instantly put up again at a bulletproof hosting firm) and has her chief people officer, Andrew Slater, write a note to me informing me of the orders they obtained in New Zealand. Slater conveniently fails to mention he has no jurisdiction over me. This is a scare tactic to silence me. When I ask Slater if I can talk to the epidemiologists, he ghosts me. Nice guy.
None of the leadership team at Health New Zealand is interested in the fact that their database shows they are killing New Zealanders with these vaccines. They will not let me speak to any of their epidemiologists and they won’t show me the time series analysis done by their epidemiologists for some reason. Why not? That’s the best way to silence me: just show me how I got it wrong.
Two New Zealand scientists at the University of Auckland, Janine Paynter and Helen Petousis-Harris, have viewed the leaked data, but refuse to publish their report. Nor will they explain how my analysis is wrong. They do not want to engage in any scientific discussion at all. I can’t even pay them to tell me how I got it wrong. I even offered them $250,000 to talk to me. No response. This is because the data leaked by Barry Young is a third-rail for them.
Barry Young is being charged with a crime. But the reality is that HNZ has given us a gift.
When Barry has his day in court, he gets to do something none of us have been able to do: force these people to answer the questions we’ve always wanted to know the answer to but they always refused to answer.
These are questions such as:
What reports did the epidemiologists create based on the NZ data showing the vaccine reduces all-cause mortality in New Zealand?
What investigations were made by Health New Zealand after Barry Young informed management there was a safety problem with the COVID vaccine?
How did the New Zealand epidemiologists at Health New Zealand explain the time-series analysis of the leaked data? The time-series analysis shows the vaccines increased the risk of death. If the vaccine didn’t cause this, then why were recently vaccinated people dying at a progressively higher rate than the rest of New Zealand (those of the same age). What did all these people have in common that accelerated their death if it wasn’t the vaccine?
I can’t wait.
In the meantime, here’s a very brief summary of the New Zealand data for people to chew on.
I’d be delighted to debate any of this with a qualified epidemiologist who disagrees with me, but so far no takers.
What does that tell you?
Gaslighting attempts
Lots of people will try to gaslight you into thinking the NZ data is a nothing burger.
They are wrong.
Unfortunately, none of them will go “on camera” to allow me to challenge them about their claims of missing data, no control group, under-reported deaths, it’s HVE, etc.
I have an open offer to any of them. The only rules I have are: no insults and each side gets the same amount of talk time.
Apparently, that’s too challenging for them to agree to.
This is for doses 2 through 4. Doses 2 and 4 are given when the death rate is going down. Dose 3 is given when the seasonal death rate is increasing. There are 1.7 times as many person days in the 2,4 cohort vs. the dose 3 cohort. So the slope should be going down. It doesn’t. It goes up. This is the smoking gun. Nobody can explain it. This happens in other countries as well (see this post which references S3.B in this paper as well as this article).
Mortality rate in deaths per 100K person years vs. week number since vaccine administered (x-axis). This is for doses 2 through 4. It’s “supposed” to slope down due to seasonality. The slope goes the wrong way if the vax is safe. Nobody can explain this. This is not due to the “healthy vaccinee effect” (HVE) which lasts only 4 weeks.
You can also look at Dose 4 alone. I picked everyone who got the shot in July 2022 so I could track this vs. the background deaths in NZ. The death rate goes up if you got the shot while the rest of New Zealand’s death rate is falling.
As you can see, the elderly, for which the death rate should be dramatically falling, experiences the opposite effect if they’ve been jabbed:
Pivot table analysis of people who got Dose 4 in July 2022. Their deaths per month increase when they should be decreasing.
We don’t need to get any more complicated than these two examples.
They are simply unexplainable if the vaccines are safe.
Summary
Barry Young is a hero.
Not only did he publicly expose the data that definitively shows the COVID vaccines are killing people, but he also gets to compel these epidemiologists to finally explain how I got it wrong.
I can’t wait. I’ve been pleading for qualified scientists to set me on the right path for years now with no success. They all refuse to explain the observations above (or give me bogus answers like “it’s HVE”).
It’s a shame that Barry had to be arrested for us to get answers, but it’s clear that a court hearing is simply the only way to compel qualified scientists to answer questions nowadays.
And a big thank you to Health New Zealand for having Barry arrested which will give Barry this opportunity to expose the real criminals in his court hearing. It will be epic. I can’t wait.
A real-world courage under fire situation is playing out in New Zealand. On Monday, 18 December 2023, New Zealand whistle-blower Barry Young had a second appearance in Court to answer police and Ministry of Health (MOH) charges of apparently leaking “vaccine data” on work databases. Mainstream media did not mention the relevant Protected Disclosures(Whistle-blower) Act of 2022 that is a law designed to apparently protect whistle-blowers. It leads one to believe that it provides them with immunity from prosecution when, after no results in reporting to their senior within the Department, they alert the public to what they believe to be a very serious situation.
Barry’s original interview with Liz is not linked here due to the MOH placing a (questionable) injunction on further detailed disclosure of the statistics provided by Barry, despite the fact that — since the release of those revelations — the genie is well and truly out of the bottle and has been widely shared around the world, including in the UK parliament with the UK MP Andrew Bridgen. The MOH also had New Zealanders believe they were undertaking exhaustive work to ensure the privacy of individuals was protected and anonymised. The irony of that doesn’t escape most, who are well aware that New Zealanders had to disclose their vaccine status to anyone who asked, since the experimental gene-based therapy injection arrived on our shores. No trouble with letting the supermarket , the movie theatre, or the local Mall know of such personal details when one is alive — it’s just when one dies that the information needs to be protected at all costs. Why is that? It is also unclear why the MOH are so concerned with “privacy” when the Prime Minister had already publicly confirmed that the information was anonymised.
With the whistleblower vaccination data leak reverberating around the world, the NZ Ministry of Health appears to be in damage control mode and trying to hide the data.
Dr Shane Reti, new Minister of Health has been quoted as saying:
“There are many conspiracy theorists out there who unfortunately disseminate harmful disinformation, however, as Minister and as a physician, the public can and should continue to have confidence in vaccines. I am reassured by experts confirming that there is no evidence supporting the allegations that have been made.”
We are curious which unnamed ‘experts’ are reassuring him and what evidence they are using to provide that reassurance. After a career in general practice, where almost all are usually given, Reti should be already his own expert on vaccines, So why is he now ok jabbing pregnant women, and children for an infection that doesn’t harm them?
Surely the best way to reassure all New Zealanders and people of the world is to release the data and let us all see just how many people who have been vaccinated in New Zealand are now dead nearly 3 years since the rollout began. It would be easy enough to compare vaccinated with unvaccinated since every New Zealander and their vaccination status is on the Covid Immunisation Register (CIR).
[We note that the CIR and NIR (National Immunisation Register) were being merged over the weekend of 2-3 Dec to form the AIR (Aotearoa Immunisation Register). Let’s hope there wasn’t a ‘convenient’ loss of data during that time.]
Mainstream media’s articles continue to repeat that ‘only’ four New Zealanders have died post-covid-vaccination. Never mind that those four were young people who were not at significant risk from covid infection. The death of one healthy not-at-risk person should have been sufficient to halt the rollout.
A curious fact is that all four official deaths have been from myocarditis which, along with anaphylaxis, are the only potentially fatal adverse effects from the vaccine that the MoH appears to recognise in NZ.
This is despite it being increasingly documented that there are many harmful mechanisms at play with this new gene technology/lipid nanoparticle/contamination cocktail.
Official Covid Vaccination Deaths:
The four official deaths are as follows:
The first was a 57 year old lady who died of ‘fulminant necrotising eosinophilic myocarditis’. Our understanding is that she had a medical relative which is perhaps why her case got investigated and counted.
The family even agreed to her history being written up because they wanted other people to be aware of the possibility of this serious event. It was submitted to the NEJM in Aug 2021 but was eventually published in J Clinical Immunology in Apr 2022.
“The authors would like to thank the Coroner and family of the deceased in approving and consenting for this manuscript to be submitted. The family wish to increase awareness of fulminant necrotizing eosinophilic myocarditis as a very rare hypersensitivity disorder requiring urgent assessment and treatment.”
The second case was Rory Nairn, age 26, plumber from Dunedin. His family and some health professionals had to push hard to get his death from myocarditis recognised and investigated.
Following his death, health professionals were provided with extra advice and information about myocarditis and reminded to consider and report it. The coroner, Sue Johnson, has still not released her findings about the circumstances of his death, though has confirmed the cause of death was vaccine-induced myocarditis (the risk of which he was not informed about).
The third official death was a teenager and few details are known. This young person’s death was reported in April 2022.
The fourth official vaccine death in NZ was a person whose situation was discussed by the ISMB in Mar and April 2022 and it was decided it was not related to the covid vaccine.
However, the case was discussed again in Nov 2022 after the board ‘received further information which revealed that the person had myocarditis at the time of their death’ which was probably due to the vaccine. We understand that the family of this person had threatened to go public just before the ISMB reconvened.
Despite the minutes of most of the ISMB meetings being publicly available we note the minutes of the meetings of 2 Mar 2022 and 2 Nov 2022 are not, and are being actively kept out of the public domain.
“ In regards to your request for the meeting minutes for 2 March 2022 and 2 November 2022, your request is also refused under section 9(2)(a) of the Act, to protect the privacy of natural persons.
The need to protect the privacy of these individuals is not outweighed by the public interest in the release of this information.”
What about the others?
We do not believe these are the only deaths attributable to covid vaccination in New Zealand. We believe there are likely hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths in NZ that have been fully or partially caused by the Pfizer injection which have been fobbed off. We have provided evidence to government repeatedly.
We have written on several of hundreds of New Zealanders whose deaths have not been adequately investigated nor assessed according to long established principles of pharmacovigilance.
Divya Simon, a healthcare worker age 31, died 5 days after her third covid vaccine in Jan 2022. She died of a coronary artery dissection which is a rare condition, particularly in a young woman with no underlying conditions. The vaccine has been shown to cause weakening of blood vessel walls and could easily lead to dissection (splitting) of an artery. We wrote to coroner Louella Dunn about our concerns in May 2023 and have yet to receive a substantive reply.
Garrett Utting, age 30 died 3.5 weeks after his first injection in Dec 2021. His stated cause of death was ‘unascertained’ or SUDY (Sudden Unexplained Death in the Young) and the coroner was satisfied that his death was due to ‘natural causes’ despite the postmortem not confirming a definitive cause of death.
Isabella Alexander and Georgia O’Neill both died of blood clots within two weeks of their first covid injections but cause of death was put down to a common genetic variation in combination with a contraceptive pill.
The mother of Louis Amos has described what happened to her son’s well-controlled epilepsy after his Pfizer vaccination: increasingly poor control of seizures leading to a fatal seizure.
In addition to the cases we have written about, we have been told numerous stories of, and been shown documents relating to, other people who have died suddenly and/or unexpectedly. Many of these were people in the prime of their lives – previously fit, active, employed and healthy, then suddenly gone.
Pathologists’ reports (if postmortems have even been done) have either not mentioned or discounted vaccination and now, as Coroner’s Reports are finally coming through 2+ years after the fact, it is obvious coroners are discounting the vaccine as well. Apart from appearing to look for myocarditis, it is not clear that anything else has been done to consider the multitude of other harms covid vaccination can cause.
Trust
It is a question of trust. Officials from the Ministry of Health are imploring us to trust their pronouncements and their experts.
We ask, WHY should we trust them when they have not shown themselves to be worthy of this. They have cast aside medical ethics, gagged doctors, refused to engage in discussion, delayed and obfuscated OIA responses, not adequately investigated deaths and are now shooting the messenger.
Trust is earned and should no longer be taken for granted. If this government and Ministry of Health want the trust of the people, then earn it! Start with dropping charges against the messenger Barry Young (and all dissenting health workers), showing the full data he was concerned about, answering questions and fronting up for discussions.
In recent weeks, there’s been international concern about reports of alarmingly high death rates reported at certain vaccination centres in New Zealand. Whistleblower, Barry Young, has come forward with shocking allegations revealing this disturbing trend. The New Zealand government’s data, which he released into the public domain, raises serious questions about whether these deaths can be attributed to natural causes or if they are, in fact, part of a sinister plot known as democide.
You have just over a month to make a submission folks. This is a time worn tactic… timing is everything. The ridiculous thing too is, some of these items are common cooking ingredients! And comfrey, well I’ve just recently been wondering why am I not seeing that useful plant as much as I used to. Do you really still trust your leaders? How does this move promote the health & well being of NZ citizens? It doesn’t. It promotes the interests of those folk who meet at Davos, currently seeking to force more of their ‘safe and effectives’ upon you. EWR

Natural Products Regulation—An Overreach of Government Control
Civilisations come and go through the ages. When governments empower people, they harness the intelligence and creativity of their citizens for the good of all; when they seek to control their populations, they fall into decline.
Following three years of pandemic control, governments are not stopping there. Here in New Zealand, the government has introduced the “Therapeutic Products Bill,” which will control how products which appear to benefit health are manufactured, prescribed, imported, advertised, supplied and exported. According to Health Minister Andrew Little:
“It will enable New Zealand to take advantage of advances in medicine, such as cell and tissue therapies, emerging gene therapies, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning software. Having risk-proportionate approval systems will improve access to necessary and life-saving medicines, such as vaccines in a pandemic.”
An important part of the bill aims to regulate the natural health products used by more than 50% of our population. This is the third attempt of the Labour Party to introduce extreme regulation of the public’s options to choose their medical care, supplements and diet. Their earlier two attempts failed because of vocal public opposition. In 2017 Labour opted for a prohibited list of 300 common herbal ingredients ( for some of these see photo):
Control of Our Food Supply
It won’t have escaped your notice that many of these like Cinnamon and Mustard are currently sold in shops. So how on earth did they get onto a prohibited list? The answer lies in attempts to gain control of our food supply.
Natural products that are beneficial to health cannot be patented, but synthetic copies can be. To make this work, the products that grow in gardens need to be banned.
Labour and the Ministry of Health did not make this list up, the list was supplied by the International Coalition of Medicines Regulatory Authorities (ICMRA) of which Medsafe is a member. ICMRA is largely funded by the pharmaceutical industry whose interests they serve. You can read all about it in my book Your DNA Diet, available as a Kindle from Amazon or a hard copy from the Hatchard Report.
Labour says it has learned from prior public opposition. This time the Bill will not name any prohibited ingredients. Instead is an enabling bill, the type of legislation made famous by Adolf Hitler. The Bill establishes a new regulator headed by an independent statutory officer with a wide remit:
The new regulator will be responsible for ensuring the safety, quality, and efficacy of natural products. It will design and implement proportionate, risk-based market authorisation pathways. Its functions will include, in addition to market authorisation, licensing controlled activities, post-market surveillance, and compliance.
These services will be funded through levies on the industry which are liable to be costly. Government regulatory schemes mooted in the last two attempts were likely to push small players out of the market due to the cost of compliance, as happened as a result of the Food Bill.
Crucially the Bill also includes a range of modern enforcement tools allowing for a graduated and proportionate response to breaches, including tiered criminal offences, strict liability offences, improved infringement notices and a civil pecuniary penalty regime.
In other words, the Bill appoints a new, as yet, unnamed regulator who is being empowered to do whatever he thinks fit to control the manufacture and availability of supplements. He could and is, in fact, very likely to publish a list of banned herbal ingredients soon after his appointment. The list is ready to go from the ICMRA database connected to Medsafe, courtesy of the pharmaceutical industry.
If we wish to be able to continue to freely chose herbal medicines and supplements without government interference, we will need to speak up. Go to this link to make a submission before February 15th. Write to your MP and complain that the appointment of a regulator amounts to an open ended blank cheque to control the use of products used by more than 50% of our population without fully specifying the principles he should use.
Dr Vernon Coleman’s (very interesting) take on ‘the war’ – UK farmers paid millions of pounds not to grow any food (frankenfood to come) – pressure on politicians and bankers to stop the oil companies drilling for more oil – more spending on ‘essential’ defense The usual drill …
As covid returns to NZ, it is important for New Zealanders to understand how “covid deaths” are defined and counted in NZ. The photographs below are of official OIA responses, giving much more insight into these questions… To date we have had 22 “covid deaths” in NZ. The OIAs show that: 17 tested positive for covid 5 tested negative for covid 1 was not tested. Of the 17 deaths where there was a positive covid test: 8 had existing co morbidities 9 had no existing comorbidities The second letter asks if it is protocol to remove any negative tested patients from the death data, even if they remain negative. Answer: NO Also asked whether any deceased “probables” who tested negative throughout, were reported to the World Health Organisation as “covid deaths”. Answer: YES. Clear as mud? So if you watch those covid death stats tick up in the weeks to come, be aware that its not as simple as you once thought.
Here in the following video we hear those who are appointed guardians of our health, telling us with a straight face that the CV jab is ‘safe and effective’ and there’s no evidence of any harm. This is an excellent compilation of excerpts from the pertinent interviews and statements since the CV began you will see that things are not adding up. Listen at the link below the image:
Many people are frightened. When it comes to making sensible choices about your health….who do you turn to?
For many, the answer is “my doctor”. What happens though when you become aware that the New Zealand Medical Council has made it clear to Doctors that there will be consequences if they raise doubts about the Covid 19 vaccination, in the mind of their patient? How can you trust that you are receiving PERSONALISED medical advice about YOUR individual risk/benefit profile….and not just the approved Medsafe “Safe and Effective” stance. Many New Zealanders now find themselves in EXACTLY this position. I have been shocked to the core by some of the medical recommendations i have been told of in the past weeks of the vaccine roll out. Just one, being a Nurse who had a very severe anaphylactic reaction that landed her in hospital for several days. She then had to fight tooth and nail against her own hospital and the Department of Health, to be “excused” from the second vaccine. Before she won that battle she was told she must have the second vaccine. It would be administered in a hospital Emergency Department with a crash cart and a resuscitation team administering.
This constitutes insanity….not personalised medicine based on the Hippocratic oath of FIRST DO NO HARM
The Ministry of Health has no information about why our hospital Emergency Departments are suddenly so full – and whether this may be related to the experimental jab rollout….. Its almost like they dont care, isn’t it … or maybe they already know and don’t want to admit it.
NEW ZEALAND COVID 19 VACCINATION ADVERSE REACTIONS DATA IS MISSING On a cold and blustery Sunday afternoon I thought I’d just cruise by the Medsafe website and check in on the latest Adverse Reaction reporting for the Covid 19 vaccine roll out in New Zealand. To say I’m “gob smacked” would be an understatement. Before I got into the Medsafe monitoring data I whizzed over to the Herald vaccine tracker to see how many jabs have now been administered. As of 18th May (the latest data on the site) 474,435 jabs have been given in New Zealand. This is made up of a combination of some first and some second doses. So we are a wee bit short of half a million jabs jabbed. Then I got myself in a total pickle, thinking somehow my brain and Google were combining in a Sunday afternoon brain fog meltdown. Why? Because try as i may…google as i may…. i simply could only find “safety data” pertaining to the first 168,452 jabs administered in NZ. By my calculation that left 305,983 jabs administered with ZERO ADVERSE REACTION DATA available for public viewing. THAT MEANS THE MEDSAFE MONITORING SYSTEM IS MISSING PUBLIC FACING DATA FOR 64% OF ALL COVID 19 VACCINES ADMINISTERED IN NEW ZEALAND. As this is a vaccine with only provisional consent in New Zealand, with many outstanding safety, purity and efficacy questions still remaining unanswered by Pfizer… As this is a vaccine that has only received Emergency Use Authorisation in other countries where Covid is rampant (e.g. has not met the standards required for a full authorised use)… As there is post release data collection and safety monitoring set to continue for another 2 years, to determine just exactly how safe and effective this vaccine is… As there is a growing chorus of esteemed scientists, immunologists, and doctors around the world calling for a halt to the roll out of this vaccine due to the unprecedented levels of injury and deaths reported to safety monitoring systems around the world… SHOULDNT WE BE ASKING LOUD AND DEMANDING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW OUR SAFETY MONITORING SYSTEM CAN POSSIBLY BE LOOKING FOR SAFETY ISSUES IN OUR NEW ZEALAND POPULATION….WHEN THE DATA REMAINS UNPROCESSED OR MISSING IN ACTION? How can New Zealanders read the safety monitoring data as part of their process of informed consent? It is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE. Having calmed myself from this gob smack, i decided to have a close look at the two latest Adverse Reaction reports that we do actually have. Peering back to April 17th…over 5 weeks ago….the last data available to the public… I find 347 Adverse reaction reports in the week since the previous report. Of these 322 were deemed “non serious” and 25 deemed serious. I worked out that these reports covered the administration of 50,000 jabs. Of the “serious”, 12 were Anaphylaxis at the time of injection; 8 severe flu like symptoms; amnesia; tinnitus; abnormal blood tests; appendicitis AND BRAIN BLOOD CLOT….more specifically Venous Sinus Thrombosis. Medsafe ruled out both the appendicitis and the blood clot as being connected to the vaccine. How? We don’t know. We don’t get to see how or why these issues are ruled out (despite blood clots figuring in adverse reaction data around the world….and yes, for Pfizer not just Astra Zeneca) Then i jumped back in time even further to have a peek at the Adverse Reactions report number 6, released on 10April, covering the previous 7 days. That report contained 254 Adverse reaction reports, 241 non serious and 13 serious. The serious reports included 8 Anaphylaxis; 1 Inflammatory muscle pain; Drug administration error (yikes, what??); headache with collapse; blood clots (plural) and stroke. Blood clots and stroke were deemed “not related to the vaccine”. How and why was this decided “not connected”? We don’t get to find out. In the past week we have also been informed via a very brief news report of 4 deaths post Covid 19 vaccine. All were ruled “not related to the vaccine”. How? Why? We don’t get to find out. So to all the New Zealanders currently wondering whether to have their Covid 19 jab….or “watch and wait”….and do their research (e.g. track injury in New Zealand)… I can confidently tell you, in terms of up to date vital Medsafe data you and I are officially “flying blind”. New Zealand is acknowledged as having one of the highest reporting incidents of Adverse Reactions in the world…with up to 10% of all occurring injuries actually reported to monitoring systems. That leaves an estimated 90% of reactions UNREPORTED. https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/safety-report-7.asp https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/safety-report-6.asp https://www.pharmiweb.com/…/breaking-news-doctors…

One of the maritime border workers said she was devastated to be sacked and frustrated by what she says was a lack of consultation by the agency. She asked not to be named because she feared public criticism for her decision not to vaccinate.
Customs is defending its communication with the workers and says it can’t offer redundancy payments, as the sacked staff are calling for, because their roles are not being disestablished.
Amazon QUOTE: “Rules for a Covid Economy: Rule 01 Do Not Become Hysterical examines the days of crisis in late March 2020 during which the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, misled the country with an unconscionable truth-claim of mass death, acted unlawfully with members of her executive by requiring New Zealanders “to stay at home and in their ‘bubbles’” when no such requirement was prescribed by law, and needlessly plunged the country into a socioeconomic maelstrom without even so much as a cost-benefit analysis and social impact assessment.”

Revisiting a post from March 2019 with some updated links FYI, pertinent at this time as today the new experimental covid vaccine rolls out on the NZ public.
Firstly, although vaccines in NZ are not mandatory, there is an expectation nevertheless that you be vaccinated & questioning that narrative is not seen as reasonable at all. Witness the phone calls elderly get telling them to ‘get in and get their flu shots’ or the visits to the homes of non vaccinating parents inquiring why they are declining shots? This does happen I assure you. EWR
The 2019 article:
“Last week amidst a measles outbreak in Christchurch [2019 note], social media has been in full on discussion about vaccines with an article by TV1 news featuring Nigel Latta, another prominent person weighing in on a borderline push insisting that parents vaccinate their children. (Truthstream Media’s video titled Free Speech and Shutting Down the Vaccine Debate is unfortunately ‘no longer available’ on YT). Google, Amazon & Facebook are all involved in this. And meanwhile, Duncan Garner has labeled anybody who refuses to vaccinate a ‘murderer’. Note, nary a mention of all the babies who have died following vaccination.“
Vaccination in NZ is not compulsory. See the official email from the NZ Health Dept website below.
These prominent persons who are waving their self assumed ‘authority’ over you & your families under your noses, should in my opinion concentrate more on urging parents to obtain all the scientific literature from both sides of the vaccination issue before proceeding with their own informed & well researched decision that will benefit their children. Same as we should on any proposed medical procedure. Instead, Latta has likened such thinking folk to flat earthers.
Recently we posted a video featuring talk back radio where a young mother who is also a psychology graduate & whose six week old baby was vaccine injured, made a plea for full disclosure by the health professionals of the possible risks vs the possible benefits of a vaccine. One hour after vaccination, this young mother says her baby woke up screaming & over two days turned into a floppy rag doll with a high pitched shrill moan … his brain was swelling. Listen to her speak in the following short clip.
So according to Latta’s thinking, anybody who questions this medical procedure (what are the contents of the vaccine? Are there any side effects to consider? and so on) are actually “as legitimate as those at the Flat Earth Society”. Surely this young woman’s desire to be informed of the said risks vs benefits should not qualify her to be considered by health professionals as a so called ‘conspiracy theorist’? (the favourite go-to of those who would prefer you didn’t look at the facts).
I’m very disappointed as I really admired Latta’s work with the Shadowlands series. Yet on this issue he clearly is not for our parental right of choice. There are now enough testimonies from parents of deceased babies & disabled children who wish they had been informed of the risks and who cannot now turn back the clock. If you doubt that please visit the Vaxxed Youtube channel & hear all the heartbroken parents speaking out. View the before & after videos of their precious little ones, changed forever. Any parent’s worst nightmare. The disturbing thing about that is their numbers are increasing.
To not weigh up the risks of injury versus the benefits, in light of the current available information, would in my opinion be very irresponsible.
This is not however how the medical establishment sees this. They want you to get the vaccine, no questions asked. Hitler would be proud.
With respect to the parental right to decline a vaccine, folk have been sharing their experiences recently following the post of an article about children of non consenting parents being pressured by nurses at their schools to be vaccinated regardless of their parents’ wishes. A blatant violation of human rights. Details are in this article:
Parents having read this article made the following comments in social media:
My daughters were approached by nurses at school “gently” encouraging them to persuade me, they also rang me to question my judgment….I’M THE PARENT not them how dare they question my decisions for my daughters.
I’ve had lengthy conversations with my 11 and a half year old about this..today he said his teacher was telling them all they have to get vaccinated to keep them safe and asking them questions like “you do want to be safe and live don’t you?” , the teacher proceeded to tell the kids they needed to go home this evening and tell their parents that they need to make an appointment with the doctor asap…they have a vaccination program for the year 8s at his school and I told him he has my full permission to refuse and if they pressure him to demand to be able to call me or run away from the area that they are vaccinating.
I received HPV vaccination over 12 years ago now, when my mum sent in a form that said she didn’t consent to me receiving it. I gave it to the nurse who tossed it in the bin, then gave it to me anyways.. when I got home I told my mum & the next day she called a meeting with the school principal, vice principal and all my teachers and went offfff. After that day they didn’t even bother giving me any forms for vaccinations because they didn’t want my mum to come down to the school again.
When my boy was attending Intermediate school they were being targeted for diptheria, tetanus pertussis (triple vaccine) and as a parent I rang to ask where was the info for the parents. Answer was “oh we don’t do this anymore and hardly anyone turns up” So I was invited along to an assembly where they addressed all the kids. My boy had been sent on an errand unbeknown to me and when the session was finished he turned up almost in tears as he had “missed out”. Now the session included a video of propaganda showing an old school photo of a class with circles around a few pupils (can’t remember which way around it was to use as an example who was spreading disease). The Deputy Principal allowed for questions of the 2 DHB nurses present. One South African boy asked what bad reactions could happen and the nurse had to acknowledge “anaphylactic shock”. I raised my hand to ask a question and the DP gave me the most evil look then promptly closed the whole session down and sent everyone back to class. What hope is there if the teachers are propagandised leaves me worried and wondering …..
Parents now also need to be aware that some children are being prescribed anti-depressants without parental consent.
Clearly some medical staff are taking it upon themselves to apply pressure to children which is not acceptable. As to prescribing anti depressants without parental consent, that is definitely crossing the line. Watch your children parents. Listen to them. And be involved & know what is happening at their schools. Make it clear to those concerned what your expectations are regarding any health procedure.
Note also the right of choice has also been removed from the staff of a Christchurch school regarding their own choice to vaccinate. Unvaccinated teachers face a fine of $2,000:
To conclude here is a reply from the NZ government’s health website to the question: Please advise if immunisation in New Zealand is compulsory or that it is up to the person and/or parents to make that decision. Your website is not very clear on all of this. [Note since reposting this on 20/2/21 I’ve not been able to locate this letter any more on the site … it may be there but I cannot find it].

Subject: Re: Immunisation
Good morning,
Thank you for your email. Getting immunised is voluntary in New Zealand, and it is an individual’s (or parent’s/guardian’s) choice whether or not they or their child agree to being immunised.
Note under the Health (Immunisation) Regulations 1995 all early childhood education centres and primary schools must maintain an immunisation register, and may request that the caregiver provides their child’s immunisation certificate or record that the child is not immunised.
Your health practitioner will be able to provide you with information that will allow you to make an informed choice. Health professionals have a duty to give honest and open information about any medical treatment, which includes immunisations. This ensures that the individual or parent/guardian is able to give their full consent to the immunisation. The individual or parent/guardian needs to understand the benefits and risks of immunisation, including those to the child and their community, in order to make an informed choice and give informed consent.
The information about immunisation on our website is based on the overwhelming body of scientific evidence that shows the benefits of immunisation far outweigh its risks. This position underpins the health systems of every country in the world. Another website you may find useful is that of the Immunisation Advisory Centre (IMAC), which provides independent information about vaccine-preventable diseases and the benefits and risks of immunisation (http://www.immune.org.nz).
Why is this? Adern has ordered enough vaccines already for 750K Kiwis. So while professing moves to ensure its safety before proceeding, nevertheless she has purchased them anyway.
newshub …. “Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield and Medsafe group manager Chris James, who will outline the process involved in making sure a vaccine is safe and effective.”
A reminder, it normally takes 10 years to develop a vaccine. _________________________________________________________________________
tvnz… Speaking to media from Northland, Jacinda Arden said the Government was “not in a race to be first, but to ensure safe and timely access to vaccines for all New Zealanders”.
Provisional approval means the vaccine needs to meet certain conditions, and more data needs to be gathered from clinical trials.
“It means we can now begin preparations for the first stage in our vaccination roll-out,” Ardern said.
Pfizer is the first coronavirus vaccine approved for use in New Zealand, and will see border workers and essential staff the first to receive a shot.
Those most at risk of getting Covid-19 will also receive the vaccine first, with the broader population able to be vaccinated from the second half of the year.
“Subject to expected delivery of the first batch of the vaccine, we will start vaccinating first our border workers and the people they live with,” Ardern said.
The vaccine could start arriving in the country from next month. New Zealand has ordered 1.5 million doses, enough for 750,000 people.
The country’s medical regulator, Medsafe, met yesterday for final discussions on the jab before sign-off was sought from a ministerial group.
Following today’s approval, Ministry of Health officials will give advice to the Government to set out who are most suited to receive the vaccine, such as age ranges.
“We expect the first Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines will arrive in New Zealand by the end of the first quarter, but we are making sure everything is in place in case there is an earlier arrival,” Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said.
“Once vaccination of our border workers starts, we expect it to be completed within two to three weeks.”
Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said there was a “vigorous assessment process” in coming to the decision.
“This provisional approval is very much the start of a new chapter in our Covid-19 response and I want to reassure New Zealanders we will also be applying the same rigour to all subsequent vaccine applications.
“Vaccination is a key next step in our ongoing response to this virus. It’s also a good point to recognise the incredible amount of work New Zealanders have put in to support our successful response to date.
“There is more work to do, we are not out of the woods yet — but the provisional approval of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine is a significant milestone.”
A clear case in my opinion of disgruntled dentists being denied their bloated profits. Their prices are so high people just can’t afford them. It’s why they head off to other countries to get their dental work done, the fares & treatment still costing less than local charges. Covid’s put paid to that of course. In this case the woman’s only technical ‘crime’ if you like was to take the impressions (ie putting her fingers in patients’ mouths thereby risking health). WINZ however saw fit to sign her up and use her skills for their clients. Now MOH is prosecuting her. The MOH showed up in an unannounced raid, treating her like a criminal. The MOH is of course a corporation, being a ‘subsidiary’ of the NZ corporation (your ‘government’ in case you didn’t know) … it is guarding dental profits. Remember, they threatened to prosecute retired Dr Charles Baycroft for caring about NZers’ health, which is all this dear woman was doing. Watch the video in the article and see all the people she’s helped to smile again. Huge kudos to her. And thumbs down to the MOH. EWR
Dozens of people have turned out to a hui in Northland to show their support for a woman facing charges over claims she made hundreds of dentures without certification.
Kaikohe woman Claire Wihongi-Matene – known by locals as the “tooth fairy” – is facing seven charges brought by the Ministry of Health – one charge of claiming to be a health practitioner and six charges of performing a restricted activity.
The 40-year-old mother of five faces up to $190,000 in fines and is awaiting trial.
Wihongi-Matene has a fine arts degree and 10 years of experience making and repairing dentures in labs in Auckland and Hamilton. Her clients say she charged about a third of the price of dentists.
“My tupuna (ancestors) were tohunga (healers) – they helped heal people – and so I believe I was blessed with the ability to be able to help people and that’s all I’ve ever wanted to do,” she told The Hui.
On Monday I wrote an article on how we are being fed the big scary numbers, probably in an attempt to keep us all fearful and therefore compliant. I argued that the numbers involved, in New Zealand at least, are very small and that we really don’t need to be in level 2 let alone 3 or 4.
Well, funnily enough, a quick check of the Ministry of Health website on Thursday reveals a change in the way some of the various graphs are presented.
In case you missed this as the last post on topic’s been blocked on FB more than once, please do examine the real statistics from the official horse’s mouth so to speak. NZ’s MOH no less. We are constantly hearing there were 22 deaths but this appears to be not so. We have two more now so officially it’s 19 not 24. Please read again and see the actual response from the MOH. I’m not making this up.
I’ll point you also to this post from an MD quote:
“As an NHS doctor, I’ve seen people die and be listed as a victim of coronavirus without ever being tested for it. But unless we have accurate data, we won’t know which has killed more: the disease or the lockdown?”
This is not the only MD who has blown the whistle. There are many more examples. This is simply not right and just in light of the mental health fall out we’ve observed now.
Remember folk, this is from the same establishment that in 2006 lost a young deceased woman’s heart on its way for 1080 testing. The same establishment that failed to test the poisoned Waikato family for 1080 in the required time frame as an initially responding MD recommended. The same establishment that is still getting around to providing answers to the two South Island picnicking women who fell ill after being showered with 1080 pellets in 2014. The same establishment that is okay with there having been no studies done regarding the health risks of 1080 on the human foetus. The same establishment that retired MD Charles Baycroft says does not allow MDs to look for evidence of poisoning.
Note also: they did not test the marine life. Octopus, squid, crabs, crayfish? The actual food people who fish will be eating.
Do you really believe the authenticity of their test results folks?
The thing is as the aforementioned MD has warned us, there is never any evidence of 1080 poisoning because the MOH does not allow the evidence to be looked for. Period. No one will ever know he says, if you die of 1080 poisoning.
So, do bear in mind the following when going about your daily lives or enjoying a holiday in NZ:
The NZ authorities do not practice the precautionary principle with the spreading of 1080 poison. In fact they are now legally allowed to drop it into your waterways without the previously required consents, even though the manufacturer’s warning says take care not to drop it into the waterways. Whilst they continue to claim it is harmless, there is much independent research that says otherwise. (See 1080science for further independent info). In light of that, in my opinion it is safer to follow the precautionary principle, that is, proceed as if there were a possible risk to your health rather than assume there is none. Since 1080 is a known teratogen I believe it is particularly important for pregnant mothers or even those who think they may be or who could be pregnant, to distance themselves from an area where 1080 is being distributed, particularly aerially because of the drift of the dust over long distances. Stay safe people by taking your own precautions. EWR
You can read about DoC’s testing in the article below by Radio NZ. And do search for other 1080 articles in ‘categories’ (left of page) … you’ll be surprised at what you’ll read that mainstream media isn’t talking about.
Who are the serial polluters? Corporations/local councils/industry … they pollute with impunity. And they sell off our clean water to offshore corporations. I’m not holding my breath on this one I’m afraid. They pollute it with impunity then fix it with carcinogenic chemicals like chlorine (the new sticking plaster) & NZ wide the awake people are spending a fortune on filters & other means, or purchasing bottled water. (The rest sadly are pummeling their vital organs filtering this stuff from their systems). What a scam. We cannot even swim in our waterways now let alone drink what was once a free, unpolluted natural resource. They’re quickly selling it off to not the highest but the lowest bidder … peanuts. Remember this (image below) with the Key govt? And charging you mega bucks to buy it. And I haven’t even mentioned yet the ecoli scares we’ve had around the country.
I’m afraid I really am not holding out a lot of hope for a truly dedicated watchdog given they are the ones who created the complete mess we have now with the state of our water. To boot they are dumping a class 1A Ecotoxin into the waterways with the blessings of a tweaked RMA. The header image features industrial waste pouring into the local river loop at Foxton in the Horowhenua, where children once used to swim & fish. Not any more. There’s a hazard sign up now saying not to swim there. A young man even contracted trench mouth from swimming in the Manawatu (not seen since WW2 his MD said).
It’s called the ‘sustainable development’ lie.
Here is the article from tvnz
The Government has today announced the creation of a “dedicated watchdog” to regulate water quality in New Zealand.
The decision to create the new regulations was spurred by the Havelock North Campylobacter outbreak in 2016 where 5,000 people got sick from their drinking water.
“Access to safe, clean drinking water is a birth-right for New Zealanders and a key concern for communities up and down the country. Wherever they live, consumers and communities expect to be able to turn on the tap and drink the water without fear of getting ill,” says Minister of Health Dr David Clark says in a statement.
“Immediately following the Havelock North Inquiry Stage 2 Report we began implementing its recommendations to increase public safety while the Three Waters review worked through the longer-term programme of reform options.
Impending Milford Sound 1080 drop (Southland Cleddau area)
By Sacha Stevenson
1080 – It’s nothing new to most Kiwis. Opinions are divided.
The last aerial drop of 1080 here was only two years ago. Before the last drop (although I wasn’t working in Milford at the time) there was some community consultation, including a Q & A session with the Department of Conservation (DoC) – the lead agency involved with the drop in this region. I understand some local workers and one Iwi objected, but the drop went ahead anyway, including into the public water supply catchment area.
The next drop in the Southland Cleddau/Milford Sound area is scheduled for between Aug 1st and Dec 2019 and, just like the Sept 2017 drop, this again includes dropping 1080 into the water supply.
(See map below clipped 4 July 2019 from the online DOC map.)
In my opinion, the community here has not had an honest open forum to voice their say on the next scheduled drop (and every opinion is valid) but much worse, even if we get to have our say, chances are high that the tourists will be left uninformed.
There are many aspects to this topic, many already discussed. One of the main aspects here being in regards to the Public Health Unit (PHU) VTA Permission and conditions statement and its lack of implementation here in Milford Sound, and the effect it may have on locals and tourists. I’m not a lawyer, but I see this as a legal and moral failing in our duty to protect tourists (and locals).
The Ministry of Health (the Ministry) is responsible for ensuring that the provisions of the Hazardous Substances & New Organisms (HSNO) Act are complied with where it is necessary to protect public health. The Public Health Unit (PHU) is legislated by the Ministry of Health, to approve permission and attach conditions to interested parties applying a VTA (Vertebrate Toxic Agent) in a public place. This applies especially to drops into (or near) a public water supply. Public Health South (PHS) processes and approves permissions for the Fiordland area.
Permission is required because VTAs (of which 1080 is one) are toxic to humans through acute poisoning and chronic exposure. 1080 is considered a hazardous substance, for good reason. (See link to 1080 effects at p7.)
Some things stand out for me with the model PHU permissions:
1) Full disclosure to users is expected, with signs and warnings (which would logically be placed at the point of possible consumption)(see conditions 19 & 20 pg47 of VTA permission guide.)
2) An alternate water supply should be offered, if requested, until testing has been completed. (Case example – Condition 25 p67 note ii and conditions 25 – 32 of VTA permission guide.)
Bowen River valley and public water supply catchment area (see red circled area)
Figure 1: (Map clipped 4 July 2019 from the online DOC map.)
Milford Sound is one of NZ’s iconic tourist locations. We have between 500 to 5000 guests per day visiting the Fiord, hosted by various companies across the different seasons. The large majority of tourists are foreign nationals, many of whom don’t speak or read English very well.
However, I’ve had contact with the public water supply company in the last week, confirming that they’ve had no warning about the upcoming use of 1080. (As at 24th July)
Not a good start.
Despite the lack of communication from DoC (the lead agency for this particular drop) and from the aerial application contractor, many of the workers here in Milford know the drop is now imminent.
I understand that some of the companies here are planning to make bottled water available for their staff, but none of them (as far as I know) are planning to offer bottled water to the tourists, or even to put notices up in the terminal or on the vessels to warn them of the 1080 drop – so they can choose for themselves whether they would like to drink the tap water or not.
Knowing that 1080 is teratogenic (may cause birth defects) and with my partner being pregnant, I wouldn’t wish her to have any exposure whatsoever to 1080. I assume no foreign national in her position would wish to be exposed to that risk either. (See MOH Guidelines p7 re known 1080 effects.)
I am shocked that it appears that no one in Milford, including DoC, Milford Sound Tourism NZ (MST – the port operational company), Milford Sound Infrastructure ((MSI – the public water supply company), or the tourist companies providing vessels and the drinking water aboard them, is planning to at least inform the tourists that the water they may drink in the terminal and on board the vessels may potentially have a birth defect causing agent in it.
It is probably true that signs will likely be erected along the road into Milford, as we have seen done in various locations around NZ. But it is wrong to conclude that because those signs are at the rest areas, that foreigners will equate that with the drinking water in the terminal and on the boats being also potentially contaminated. One must remember, that many visitors can’t read English for a start, plus many come from areas where it is obvious that one doesn’t drink from any tap. Is it obvious here?
I would expect the duty of care and a minimum standard would mean that we’d firstly err on the side of caution. I would also assume that foreign governments would want us to set the minimum standard bar rather high when it comes to looking after the health and welfare of their citizens. As we would hope they do for our citizens when they’re abroad.
We know that the US and China for example, among others, take the safety of their citizens travelling overseas very seriously.
To add to the issues, Fiordland is a unique area in terms of its topography and rainfall. The Bowen River catchment valley is rather like a giant granite bath, with very little top soil, and average rainfall of 7000mm per annum. Together with winter temperatures, ice and snow melt, this will likely increase the risk of 1080 arriving at the intake at the same time and breaking down much more slowly. Further, according to TBFree HYPERLINK “https://ospri.co.nz/assets/Uploads/Documents/How-1080-Breaks-Down-in-Soil-Water.pdf” NZ:
“Biodegradation of 1080 is faster in warmer conditions (20degC), but still occurs at 5degC. At cooler temperatures rates of degradation are slower…..”
“Urgent samples for 24-hour turnaround testing may be sent unfrozen to the testing laboratory, but they must be chilled to 4°C and placed on ice as soon as possible after collection.”
Looking closer at Landcare’s testing regime (at 4.0): “Results will be available no later than 9.30 a.m. on the following day.” This means, at a minimum, no water should be drunk in Milford for 24hrs.
Do we need reminding that there is no antidote to 1080 poisoning?
It really seems easy to avoid the vast majority of the risks in this case. Just don’t drop 1080 in the water catchment area, meaning no 1080 to be aerially dropped in the Bowen River valley area of Milford Sound.
If DOC is so determined to go-ahead with the poison drop in the catchment area, then full disclosure to tourists should be made and an alternate drinking water supply offered (as per the model PHU statement example of 1080 in a public water supply).
It’s embarrassing that we call our country ‘Open and Inclusive’, ‘Clean Green’ etc and yet treat foreigners with this sort of disrespect.
Also of interest, according to the above Cleddau report; NO non-target species monitoring was undertaken. The water quality testing (pg 6 of DOC’s operational report 5.2.2) revealed the presence of 1080 at 1ppb.
I can tell you that as of writing, we have quite a few Kea (approx 20) hanging out in and around the village here in Milford.
Kea in Milford Sound, down near Deep Water Basin, May 2019 (Photo: Sacha Stevenson)
Plenty of Wekas here as well, plus I’ve seen the odd NZ Falcon eating road kill on the drive into Milford.
Weka at Deep Water Basin July 2019 (Photo: Sacha Stevenson)
I wonder how they will fare with the ‘Clean Green’ 1080 pellets raining down in the near future. Will anyone know if they’ve been affected?
To conclude: yes, opinions on the use of 1080 differ here, but no locals I’ve talked to think tourists shouldn’t at least be fully informed of what might be in their drinking water, to allow them their ‘Free Will’ to drink the local water or not.
Increase the peace

An update to this article can be found at this link.
RELATED: EWR links to articles on 1080 in water. Search for other articles on 1080 poison at the categories drop down box at the left of the news page.
If you are new to the 1080 poisoning program, here is a good article to start with …
A must watch also is Poisoning Paradise, the doco made by the GrafBoys (banned from screening on NZ TV, yet a 4x international award winner). Their website is tv-wild.com. Their doco is a very comprehensive overview with the independent science to illustrate the question marks that remain over the use of this poison. There are links also on our 1080 resources page to most of the groups, pages, sites etc that will provide you with further information.
Check out the 1080 pages at the main menu, particularly the sub tab, ‘suspected 1080 poisoning cases’. Finally, remember what the retired MD Charlie Baycroft said recently …‘if you die from 1080 poisoning, nobody will know because the Ministry of Health is bullying NZ Doctors into not testing for 1080′. EWR
Probably botulism or another unidentified neuro-toxin again? It could never be 1080 because that is just a deadly chemical weapon that is not supposed to harm the people of NZ. The MOH says that “there is no evidence”. There is no evidence because the Ministry of Non-health does not allow the evidence to be looked for. There is plenty of evidence that 1080 efficiently kills people, causes abortions, causes stillbirths, and causes birth defects and no evidence that it does not. There are no valid clinical trials of 1080 or other poisons because they are POISONS. The only place where people do experiments in which people are exposed to poisons is New Zealand. Other countries have heard about the precautionary principle and medical ethics but the people of New Zealand don’t seem to have been provided with that news. All we get here is false propaganda, published by a tame media, controlled by self-serving bureaucrats in dysfunctional and corrupted government enterprises. When people who are potentially exposed to poisons become ill the cause of illness is ASSUMED TO BE DUE TO POISONING UNTIL CONCLUSIVELY PROVEN OTHERWISE. That is how medicine is practiced in most countries. In New Zealand we already know that the people are potentially exposed to 1080 and other poisons but our Ministry of NOT-Health policy is that people are presumed to NOT BE POISONED by this exposure unless it can be proven beyond any doubt that they have been poisoned. Just to make sure that the PROOF CANNOT BE FOUND the appropriate investigations are also prohibited. This is called a catch 22 conspiracy. People are told that exposure to a deadly poison cannot harm them “because there is no evidence”. There is no evidence because it is not allowed to be looked for. The evidence is not allowed to be looked for because the people have been told that the poison cannot harm them. Without any intent to insult any specific employee of any government enterprise, it has always been generally agreed that any doctor who is competent and capable would never work for the government.
No one will know Dr Baycroft says, because Doctors are bullied into not doing the tests!
“In case you have any doubt, the MOH and their clerical employees have a great deal of control over our medical professions and they do not take kindly to anyone expressing an opinion that they disagree with. Working Doctors with current practicing certificates have to tread lightly where the MOH and their agendas are concerned.”
NZ wide yesterday, thousands protested from one end of the country to the other (you can see all the wonderful photos and videos at Facebook). In usual mainstream style nary a mention of the protest, except in an extremely skewed & negative way which is typical of MSM anyway. MSM is the long arm of the new corporatocracy that is looking more police statish than ever going by recent events. It is time they woke up & started listening to the people.
What particularly caught my ear among the speeches was that given by retired NZ GP Dr Charlie Baycroft (there was more caught my ear which I’ll cover in later posts). We published info on his recent suggestion to the public that they get tested before & after a 1080 drop if they were at all concerned about being poisoned. He was then threatened by the MOH with prosecution for doing that. Something is seriously wrong with that picture isn’t it? Why do you not encourage any activity with a safety focus?
Anyway, he made the statement at the protest that if you die of 1080 poisoning, nobody will know why you did because nobody will do the tests to show if there are residues of the poison in your body (neither, bear in mind, is there an antidote to 1080 poison!). You can hear him speak in the video, he is speaking already as the video begins.
“You will not know if 1080 made you sick. If you go to the Doctor, what reception will you get? I’ve heard from the people. You’ll get told ‘don’t worry about it, go home, don’t worry about it’. You know, will you have some blood tests to see if your cells have been damaged & have started releasing enzymes (omitted sentences here as sound is unclear) …. no you will not, why? because the Doctors are being bullied into not doing the tests. If you die from 1080, how will your family know? They will not know because nobody will do the tests to find the residues of the poison in your body, so the truth of the matter is, this is really dangerous”.
Dr Baycroft responded recently to the article about threatened prosecution:
“Hello.
This threat is old news. I replied and then no more correspondence or answers to the relevant questions that I asked. Perhaps they forgot that old retired doctors without practicing certificates are not afraid of them?
In a recent facebook post, someone reported asking their doctor about investigations of exposure to 1080 and was told to “Google it”. I would have expected a more polite and maybe even concerned response.
This is especially odd because the medical officer of health for that area alleges that local doctors have been sent “up to date information” about investigating exposure to 1080. This includes advice that the specific test for 1080 can be funded and free, which the same person previously denied.
Did the Doctors receive this information?
Did they bother to read it?
Is the information really “up to date” and accurate? Maybe not?
What about the patients? Should they not receive this information as well?
Apparently not because I asked and was told it is only available if requested in reference to the Official Information Act. I applied but still did not receive it but did find that someone had put it on Facebook.
Good news seems to be that Medical Officers of Health (some, perhaps) are starting to understand what the word “poison” means and that 1080 KILLS PEOPLE.
The bad news seems to be that they are being all “secret squirrel” about letting people who might become ill from 1080 know what to do about it.
In case you have any doubt, the MOH and their clerical employees have a great deal of control over our medical professions and they do not take kindly to anyone expressing an opinion that they disagree with.
Working Doctors with current practicing certificates have to tread lightly where the MOH and their agendas are concerned.
Old retired ones without practicing certificates still have the freedom to say what they think when they are sincerely concerned that people might be exposed to chemical weapons that could harm or kill them and never be detected.

Are you feeling a little unsafe with all of this information that we haven’t hitherto been privy to?
Remember the young woman whose Doctor suspected 1080 poisoning, urged the authorities to test, only to have the lab lose her heart?! That good Doctor was basically told to leave the story alone. Then there was the recent poisoned Putaruru family and the cover up that accompanied their illness.
Have a listen for yourself to Dr Baycroft and others speak, and see the crowd present at Parliament on Saturday. Check out the FB coverage also, many wonderful photos & videos NZ wide from tiny towns to big. You are not going to find that info on mainstream.
And a big thanks to Merrissa Woolston for her livestream videos.
