The Government, The Experts, The People and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Covid Narrative.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
Opening Statement
New Zealand is munted. Omicron is here, and from my perspective, we are woefully under-prepared to deal with this situation when case counts start ticking over in the thousands. I am not under any impression there is a complete (long-term) plan apart from talking points involving “levels”, “traffic light colours” and most recently “phases”. The powers that be hold to the staunch belief that vaccination is the solution to all Covid problems when the reality is quite the opposite and Covid is only just getting started. Encouraging everyone to get their booster is only going to offer a (debatable) short-term win, with potential long term consequences.
The “Ministry of One Truth” remains unwavering about “being correct” and censorship is a priority over matters of health and science, lest the figures in authority have their collective egos bruised for “being wrong” and do bad in the polls. If this continues, I offer the following conjecture:
-
Doctors may decide to “hang up their stethoscope” as bureaucratic influences and demands continue to grossly interfere with the doctor / patient relationship. (Consider that, whichever outcome results from the current approach taken by government, doctors will be first in the firing line and the last to know.)
-
People may lose trust in their doctors, because doctors were not able to facilitate informed consent regarding the vaccine and possible Covid treatments due to government pressure.
-
People may lose trust in the government and, for the rest of their lifetime, hold a grudge against those currently responsible, when the denial of early treatment could have saved a loved one or a vaccine-induced adverse effect renders them unable to ever work again.
-
Lawyers will have many field days, especially for those unfairly dismissed from their occupation for wanting to remain unvaccinated.
-
Government Officials 2023: “We acted on the scientific evidence available to us at that particular time. It was your choice to take the vaccine, you consented, your health is your responsibility not ours. Mandates were not a legal requirement and as such, legal responsibility will be upon the place of business that implemented them. Only select cases will be reviewed for government compensation. We will not take questions from the media at this time."
-
Media 2025: “Did you develop Alzheimers as a result of vaccine injury during the Covid-19 pandemic? You may be eligible for compensation under a new class action lawsuit."
Some of this can still be avoided, for some of this it is now too late.
This document hopes to start a much needed conversation and is bound to cause offense. It puts to question belief structures that have seen their inception parallel to the pandemic. The ongoing campaign of fear-mongering from the mainstream media and our government being data-hesitant, have done nothing but harm to the general populace and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Whether one wants to label our current situation one of mass psychosis or mass formation, for myself it looks like a strange hybrid of the Milgram and Stanford Prison experiments combined.
Medical history abounds with examples of inventions and practices that were heralded with greatness to only be discarded later. I submit to you, respectfully, that we are underestimating the risk of the vaccines and some of the preferred medicines chosen for Covid treatment.
The reality is, we still do not know how the human body really works but we are very good at pretending we do. Our innate immune system is under-appreciated and we continue our hubris of considering ourselves above mother nature herself.
We need to change course, quickly, as Omicron slowly begins its journey through Aotearoa.
“A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act, and without limitations of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority." - Stanley Milgram
TL;DR;
-
If we continue our current vaccine roll-out, we will see an escalation of excess deaths, cardiovascular problems, cancers and overall illness.
-
Whether Omicron is circulating or not come winter, expect a strong increase of all manner of ailments due to our immunity-debt, lowered immunity and negative vaccine efficacy.
-
Mandates and vaccine passports / certificates have no value against a non-sterilising vaccine.
-
We have created a pandemic of the vaccinated.
-
The vaccine does not appear to prevent infection.
-
The vaccine does not appear to prevent transmission.
-
The vaccine does not appear to prevent hospitalisation.
-
The more we vaccinate, the higher the risk of contracting Covid.
-
The more we vaccinate, the higher the risk of Covid spreading.
-
The more we vaccinate, the higher the risk of auto-immune diseases.
-
Covid loves people with co-morbidities. (Obesity, Diabetes, etc.)
-
Covid is opportunistic, it does not discriminate nor observe legislation.
-
Covid is only a potentially deadly disease if it is allowed to progress long enough.
-
Early treatment can prevent the worst outcomes of Covid and reduce case time in hospital.
-
People should prepare their terrain with adequate supplementation, exercise and plenty of sleep. (Vitamin C / D / K2 and Zinc at minimum.)
-
There are a number of cheap and effective options for prophylaxis that can be applied at home and in the workplace.
Vaccines
Many people took up the vaccine, some in blind faith, some freely, others coerced at the risk of losing employment or unable to see their grand children, on the promise that, it was “safe and effective”, it would prevent infection, it would prevent transmission and it would prevent severe disease.
It appears to have done these things only in New Zealand because of our aggressive containment approach and ignoring pharmacovigilance signals.
As can be seen in the rest of the western world, where governments and health systems have used similar treatment protocols and vaccines as us, things quickly fell apart once winter arrived in the northern hemisphere and restrictions were eased in Australia. Even before Omicron, Delta infections escalated despite the high vaccination rates.
The pharmaceutical industry has been trying to make an influenza vaccine since 1931 and the effectiveness of such an inoculation over the past decades has been between 10% and 60% based on US figures. The 95% claim for a brand new designed inoculate should have raised questions from day one. (Let alone the extremely short and mismanaged testing periods.)
In New Zealand, Medsafe gave provisional consent for the mRNA Pfizer Vaccine (COMIRNATY) for the indication below:
“Active immunisation to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV2, in individuals 12 years of age and older.”
It should be clear by now (even before Omicron broke all the rules) that prevention of infection and transmission have not been achieved by the vaccines else the pandemic would be over globally given the high vaccine uptake. Any politician or expert still suggesting that getting a Covid vaccine will “stop the spread” and “still offers a high level of protection”, is doing the public a disservice at this point.
The New Zealand Immunisation Handbook 2020 itself offers no firm support for this claim, segment 5.4.3 states “Effectiveness of mRNA-CV against transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is unclear and likely to depend on a range of factors, including rate of viral growth once infected.”
If the paper done by Hansen et al. on their Danish cohort is indeed accurate then the booster shot offers no protection from Omicron after 60 days and after 90 days the efficacy turns negative which means the immune system is effectively helping the virus. European data sources (UK, DE, DK) are suggesting that at the moment the double-vaccinated are at a higher risk, likely because their immunity is waning, followed by the triple-vaccinated. The unvaccinated however, appear to have the least overall risk and their hospitalisation numbers are going down as they acquire natural immunity. Given this comes straight out of government metrics, I presume this to be accurate but this should be verified independently.
If the intent is to continue the booster campaign, we will leave people with their immune system functioning in the worst possible shape come winter as the vaccine wanes, leaving a person potentially at a much higher risk of infection from Omicron and future variants.
Lastly, imposing a vaccine on people that do not need it is pointless.
The mortality risk of Covid for healthy people under the age of 50 (especially under 20) is either nil or comparatively low versus total case count. An unvaccinated cohort of healthy people could have been a “fire-break”, to build up natural immunity, and genuinely prevent spread to protect the elderly, infirm and those with less-optimal health. We squandered this opportunity and continue to vilify the unvaccinated when there is no scientific basis justifying such apartheid.
By vaccinating children we are robbing them of a healthy future, as their innate immunity is quite resilient against Covid.
If, after all these discussion points, we are still going to continue to use our non-sterilising vaccines, enable people to have access to all information in order to make establish a proper informed consent.
For example, tell people to take water and plenty of it. Their blood may experience a change in viscosity and that hydration may bring down the risk of Myocarditis and Thrombosis.
Inform people what may happen to their immune system (ADE / VADE / VAIDS), inform how the spike protein is not harmless, the risks of lipid nanoparticles and the cumulative effects of each vaccine taken. In a recently released peer-reviewed paper in the Cell Journal it is suggested that mRNA can be detected up to 60 days after vaccination in the lymph nodes, rather than it degrading after a couple of days. This period could potentially be longer but there is no further data. Another recently released pre-print (Seneff et al.) posits that the spike protein as generated by the vaccines is different than the spike protein as generated from a natural infection. There is a long list of things that the media / the experts / etc. should be talking about but are blissfully ignoring.
Make adverse event reporting mandatory and allow Doctors and Nurses to speak freely without having to fear that they may lose their license for speaking out. #LetDoctorsBeDoctors
Pray to your respective deities that you may be forgiven for what is going to eventuate.
“Many decisionmakers assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission. It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures." - Günter Kampf

Innate Immune Suppression by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccinations: The role of G-quadruplexes, exosomes and microRNAs
Our Immune System
“Importantly, the genome size of the SARS-CoV-2 varies from 29.8 kb to 29.9 kb and its genome structure followed the specific gene characteristics to known CoVs;" - Khailany, Rozhgar A et al.
The currently available vaccines only focus on the spike protein, which is a mere 0.4 kb of the entire genome. In computer terms one could call this a “partial download”. The spike protein encoded within the current vaccine for is based on the original Wuhan strain which is several generations ago versus the intended target of the Delta strain. I am concerned that by not informing the immune system of the entirety of the genome we are preparing the body for a suboptimal response.
Repeated vaccination is also likely to tire out the immune system and potentially damage it. I hypothesise that we are exposing people to more spike protein generated by the body from the vaccine than what people would be exposed to from a natural Covid infection.
We need to have a good look at the CD4 / CD8 and B / T-cells in all vaccinated groups compared to an unvaccinated baseline. I hypothesise here that the overproduction of spike protein anti-bodies is taking away resources normally dedicated to keeping us healthy.
With immune erosion there comes the risk that undetected and existing cancers will accelerate / become more aggressive.
With secondary immunodeficiencies we can expect a rise in shingles, tuberculosis and pneumonia for example. For our LGBT+ communities especially, there may be an increased risk of HIV.
Suggestions have also been made that mRNA vaccines may trigger Type 1 Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Graves' Disease and others because of how the vaccine influences our immune system.
If I am correct, and we insist on boosters for everyone, our coming Winter could be a disaster in the making. Lack of front-line staff, productivity down due to people sick at home, people getting Covid and the Flu simultaneously, and many other possibilities due to the immune system being out of action. There is data already showing the result of staff availability before and after vaccination in the UK NHS, net result from vaccination is less available staff.
I do not think we can consider the risk of ADE, VADE or VAIDS theoretical anymore as the first anecdotal evidence is showing that vaccinated people are getting re-infected. UK data appears to confirm this and in the US anecdotal data confirms similar events with people getting Covid for the third or fourth time despite being “fully vaccinated”. This was a known risk, no one can say they didn’t know.
When it comes to Omicron, I think it is in the best interest of everyone, to let it run its course then everyone gets vaccinated naturally. This would offer better quality and longer lasting immunity than inoculations can ever hope to offer. The most optimistic paper suggests up to 20 months, average 12 - 15 months.
Unless what we want, is for Covid to become Marek’s disease for humans, which our current situation is eerily comparable to.
“Previous respiratory syncytial virus and dengue virus vaccine studies revealed human clinical safety risks related to ADE, resulting in failed vaccine trials." - Lee, Wen Shi et al.

(Early) Treatment
Discussion
We need to move away from the mindset that Covid is untreatable and the vaccine is our only solution. I would posit that this mentality is what will cause more mortality incidents than desired.
Covid is highly treatable and survivable if we enable people to prepare their terrain and we treat early. Much to our benefit, this can be achieved in a cheap and effective manner.
We have a hospital system that is already running at peak capacity (some hospitals are operating at 105% I have been informed, without the burden of Covid). If the intent is to keep hospital stays as short and safe as possible, then we should consider re-purposing “some old friends”.
We should consider having a look at the Covid treatment protocols as researched by Borody, Zelenko, Fareed/Tyson and FLCCC for those who end up severely infected.
Bottom line, if we are to minimise harm from Omicron, early treatment and a prepared terrain is key.
Web
Prophylaxis & Early Outpatient Treatment Protocol for COVID-19
The Now
“Isolate, hope for the best and call us if it gets worse”
This in short is the woefully inadequate strategy used by Australia and New Zealand in case of infection. Fortunately, early indications based on available data is that an uncontained Omicron wave will last 22-23 days and in general, causes much milder illness in healthy individuals.
Meanwhile, for decades the waistlines of our people have been expanding. With an approximate 1 in 3 New Zealanders effectively being classified overweight / obese, they are at a higher risk of developing a severe Covid infection with potential dire consequences which makes early treatment a very important risk reduction tool.
No innoculant is going to prevent severe disease if the individual is already unhealthy in the first place.

Big Pharma
I am very concerned that most of the protocols appear heavily influenced by pharmaceutical edict rather than the scientific method. Monoclonal anti-bodies are a great success, but expensive and not universal against all Covid variants. Paxlovid and Molnupiravir have only had research papers provided by the manufacturer themselves. Remdesivir, is a re-purposed HIV drug with a strange / colourful history.
Paxlovid (PF-07321332): Is a protease inhibitor (3CLpro) in a similar way as Ivermectin functions.
Molnupiravir: Concerns have been raised that the mutagenic mechanism of action may create dangerous variants or cause cancer. Anecdotal suggestion is that a person under treatment can potentially “shed” a variant in their first 3 days of treatment. Advisory to not engage in unprotected intercourse for 3 months after treatment.
Of note: Molnupiravir has been widely praised but no one appears to have remarked upon the fact that its precursor ‘EIDD-1931’, originated as research for the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus.
(Where are the horse jokes now?)
Remdesivir: Large study pool, but at the bottom of the ranks in terms of efficacy and comes with the risk of renal failure (which is especially undesired with a respiratory illness).
These treatments are also expensive compared to re-purposed out-of-patent treatment options. (via https://c19early.com)

Medicines to Consider
Ivermectin should be at the top of the list for early treatment but instead this essential medicine has been slandered as “horse paste”, unsafe and inappropriate for the treatment of Covid.
Billions of doses of Ivermectin have been dispensed to humans with little incidence over the past decades, it is safer than aspirin and almost impossible to overdose on.
It has been discussed since mid-2020 as a potential treatment option for Covid but at every turn the establishment and the media continue to claim it as inappropriate and unsafe, despite a growing body of evidence. Meanwhile Africa, parts of India, Japan and rebellious doctors in the USA have had great success with Ivermectin and continue to do so.
If we are indeed looking at immune erosion, Ivermectin may just become very important for vaccinated people who can no longer neutralize a Covid infection.
But if Ivermectin is too politically sensitive at this point, there are other options:
- Doxycycline / Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin
- Fluvoxamine
Less discussed, but lots of potential:
- Melatonin (Very under appreciated, not just for sleep!)
- Tryptophan (IL-6 interplay / encourages Melatonin)
For shortening hospital stay:
- Curcumin (Strong anti-inflammatory purposes)
- N-acetylcysteine (NAC) (Promotes Glutathione)
The “COVID-19 early treatment: real-time analysis” referenced should provide ample elucidation and inspiration offering, as of writing, 480 potential treatment options.
(NN.: I declare, personal bias to Melatonin. Such a potent mysterious hormone. Many times more powerful than Vitamin C with its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties.)

Discussion
The supplements outlined will not prevent people from contracting Covid neither will it provide a direct cure. However, it will give people a better prepared terrain in the event of a Covid infection by potentially reducing the severity of illness and the need for hospitalisation.
The supplements outlined are well understood and have a well established safety profile. They are safe, effective and above all cheap to procure and easy to distribute.
Exercise / Diet / Good Sleep
We should more strongly promote Regular exercise. Brisk walking or weight exercises three to five times a week are a good start.
Encourage less consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates as these food groups cause inflammation which suppress immune system function.
Promote adequate sleep, 8 hours a day minimum to give the body a chance to do maintenance properly and have the immune system working at peak capacity.
In case of infection, Lysine rich foods.
Vitamin C
While Vitamin C is in general considered to be “good for our health and immune system”, it is under appreciated for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. The story of dairy farmer Allan Smith should be worth remembering and prove educational for our current pandemic.
“It is important to remember that preventing and treating respiratory infections with large amounts of vitamin C is well established. Those who believe that vitamin C generally has merit, but massive doses are ineffective or somehow harmful, will do well to read the original papers for themselves." - Andrew W. Saul

Vitamin D + K2
Vitamin D (rather Hormone D) serves a number of important purposes. In the context of Covid, Vitamin D aids in a healthy and strong immune system, aids in Glutathione promotion, can reduce the risk of a cytokine storm and can prevent thrombosis. The vast-majority of the public has Vitamin D levels that are far below optimal levels or are downright deficient. Availability to optimal levels (>100nmol/L) for most adults will take 4 - 6 weeks if supplementing with 5000IU daily, 10000IU could be considered in the older population groups. Research suggests that with optimal vitamin D levels, mortality risk from Covid is significantly reduced. Long term Vitamin D supplementation should be combined with Vitamin K2 as appropriate.
Vitamin K2 by itself has some early research available. Given how well tolerated Vitamin K2 is by the human body, it should not be discounted for use in a clinical setting.
“Without calcium supplementation, even very high vitamin D3 supplementation does not cause vascular calcification, especially if another important finding is included. Even when calcium blood levels are high, the culprit for undesirable vascular calcification is not vitamin D but insufficient blood levels of vitamin K2." - Borsche et al. (2021)

Glutathione / NAC
Glutathione (GSH) is one of the major antioxidants present in the lungs and in some cases serves as the last line of defence in case of a respiratory infection. Adequate Vitamin D will help promotion of GSH.
The elderly tend to have less Glutathione availability and are likely to benefit the most from supplementation.
We should also consider that paracetamol may not be appropriate for use when infected with Covid as it may deplete Glutathione.
Alternatively, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) as it serves as a precursor to Glutathione.

Prophylaxis, Part 2
Discussion
Masks are a debatable control strategy outside of clinical environments. There is a growing list of countries that are doing away with their requirement at this point now that Omicron is becoming well established. I propose an alternative approach based on oral and nasal hygiene.
Masks
The reality is that many people mistreat or mishandle their mask in a way that renders them unsanitary or useless. I have seen masks hanging from the rear view mirror, left on seats, people pulling them out of their pocket before entering a indoor location. Having the mask poorly fitted, under the nose, on the chin and halfway on facial hair. This creates a risk factor that people are more likely to get an illness from wearing a mask before catching Covid.
Now the suggestion is made, because of Omicron, everyone needs an N95 mask. This is theatre, “we just need better masks this time to stop the spread”, and completely avoids the extensive body of evidence available to the contrary. (In the same category, Social Distancing, Vaccine Passports, Lockdowns, Perspex Panels)
N95 masks are not panacea, are more expensive (impacting lower socio-economic groups), may have supply constraints and basic re-use / decontamination requires a degree of discipline and education that will likely be ignored due to the effort involved. It may require speciality equipment that is not available in a residential setting.
A basic multi-layer cloth mask that can be washed is sufficient for the public, it will enable them to “feel” protected and will minimise waste. If people are of the opinion that they need more protection they are welcome to explore more advanced options.
Concurrently, as noted by the AAPS, if the virus lands on the conjunctiva, tears will wash it into the nasopharynx. So should we not also be recommending safety glasses or face shields to go with masks?
Realistically, can we afford to continue all this, especially from a psychological and monetary perspective?

Mouthwash
Rinsing on a frequent basis throughout the day to minimise the chance of spreading Covid indoors and for freshness of breath.
There is evidence that is suggesting that Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC) based mouthwash can deter Covid spread from 1 to 6 hours, depending on the research source cited. This would make for a far more effective approach of source control then mask wearing within most applicable environments.
Mouthwash is relatively cheap and easily available. The bottles are usually type 1 PET plastic, are more likely to be properly disposed of, and have a chance to be recycled.
Alternatively, plain saline rinsing could be considered as a backup option.
While evidence is currently limited, it is worth considering using mouthwash as a risk mitigation strategy for Covid.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC7528968/
Nasal Decontamination
Either through droplets or spray bottle, nasal decontamination by way of a Povidone Iodine (PVP-I) solution may have a similarly positive effect as mouth wash.
The use of PVP-I has been well documented throughout medical history with the earliest discussions in the 1950s. It has a well known safety profile, cheap, and is in general well tolerated when used. In the case of an Iodine allergy other options to consider are Saline or Heparin.
For a prophylaxis approach an 0.5% - 1% PVP-I prepared mixture, used before leaving home and when returning home. With Omicron now infecting the upper respiratory airway, I give this approach a high chance of success based on available evidence and it merits further investigation.

For the Media
History Lessons
History is repeating itself, how the 2009 Swine Flu epidemic was handled reads eerily similar to our current state of affairs.
“Soon it was realized that thousands of patients suffered from a wide range of serious adverse effects: local inflammations, local or systemic muscle pain, vasculitis, neuritis (autoimmune nerve-inflammations), encephalitis, narcolepsy, and other chronic pains. The media then discovered that the adjuvants used in vaccines had many serious adverse effects that were mentioned to the citizens neither by the companies who sold the vaccines, nor by the governments buying and reselling the vaccines”
“It also turned out that the contracts the industry had made with the countries included a paragraph that the adverse effects were the buyer’s full responsibility." - Søren Ventegodt
Going a 135 years in the past, the smallpox pandemic response makes for interesting reading.
“By the end of 1868, more than 95 percent of the inhabitants of Chicago had been vaccinated. After the Great Fire of 1871 (it leveled the city), strict vaccine laws were passed, and vaccination was made a condition of receiving relief supplies. Chicago was then hit with a devastating smallpox epidemic in 1872 where over 2000 persons contracted smallpox, with over 25% dying, and the fatality rate among children under 5 being the highest ever recorded."
“As widespread skepticism of the vaccination increased, enforcement increased, with no legal recourse available to opt out of the immunization regardless of the situation or physician recommendation. Reports are abound across the world of vaccination resistors being fined and jailed or forcefully vaccinated, with parents often opting to receive these punishments in order to spare their children from vaccination”
No further spoilers. You should read it all for yourself.

Questions
The independent news outlets and individual netizens have done a far more constructive job analysing the current pandemic situation then the mainstream media has.
The mainstream media however has done a very good job at discriminating against the unvaccinated, causing rifts between family members with unwarranted fear campaigns and silencing dissenting opinion. I think you are quite deserving of some of the animosity that has been brewing towards your institutions. If you want to continue to receive the government funding that is funded by my tax contributions I would recommend you start doing some proper journalism and soul searching before the trust the public has in you erodes completely.
Personally, I am not entirely against a media landscape where podcast figureheads set the tone and independent netizens take charge. But people are already deep enough in their own information silos, and rarely take the time to look at the whole picture. (Reddit and Twitter are great examples of this.) If we want to counter extremism, alt-left and alt-right there needs to be balance. If you can stop the woke, the feels and bring back firm objectivity, maybe you’ll have a future. Keeping the government accountable for its decisions, a very interesting topic that the media seems to have forgotten about, maybe start there.
Here are some questions worth asking:
-
With adverse events caused by the vaccines continuing to increase globally and New Zealand using the same vaccines as other western nations, what is the stopping condition for this vaccine trial? 3 deaths on the same day and a series of Guillain-Barré syndrome cases that appeared after vaccination was enough to stop the 1976 Swine Flu Vaccination Program in the United States.
-
Was the government aware of the Pfizer “Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event Reports” that was released under a US FOIA request to the FDA.
-
If the vaccine is truly “safe and effective”, why is Big Pharma so reluctant to have their full data set published in a transparent manner so everyone can see on what basis our government, our experts and health entities decided to approve the vaccine roll-out.
-
Medsafe states that it is aware that CARM receives only 5% of reported adverse events. Has it been considered that with our current discussion climate, medical professionals are reluctant to make reports due to the fear of losing their license if they speak negatively of the Covid vaccines.
-
Has any effort been made to inform the decision making process in regards to the vaccine approval and roll-out, by looking at VEARS, VigiAccess, EMA and DAEN which have all shown clear pharmacovigilance signals that remain mostly un-discussed. Apart from cardiovascular events, signals such as adverse events reported for babies aged 0-2, reproductive issues for women (also for men albeit at a lower incidence), eye and ear issues, dermatology issues and a rise in depression and anxiety.
-
We are likely going to run out of medical staff due to illness, are we going to bring back the doctors and nurses that were unfairly dismissed due to the vaccine mandates.
-
How much money have we spent on overpriced treatments and tests with questionable results.
-
Why does Omicron appear to genetically precede the other variants, rather then following on as a mutation from Alpha / Beta / Delta.
-
Why does Omicron BA.2 love the boosted more then Omicron BA.1.
-
What do we know about potential reproductive issues and the strange stories around stillbirth numbers from Scotland / Canada / Israel.
-
What does “mild” in Myocarditis mean. The heart is unable to regenerate heart muscle, any damage done is a permanent affliction.
-
What can we learn from Denmark, India, Israel, Palestine, Japan, South Africa and the United Kingdom. (Some examples provided.)
-
Are Rapid Antigen tests really worth the expense and plastic waste created versus the speed at which Omicron can spread and how mild the symptoms appear to be for most people.
-
Did the New Zealand Government have the ‘@viewspotnz’ and ‘@thelastmalakai’ Twitter accounts suspended under anti-terrorism laws.
-
What can we make of ‘EPI_ISL_7543999’ and ‘CTCCTCGGCGGGCACGTAG’, truth or fiction?

Conclusion
It is this author’s opinion that, the New Zealand government and its experts have shown little initiative in how to properly deal with the Covid pandemic. It looks like “the science” was settled in 2020 and no one bothered to do a regular review of published research going forward. Our government has proclaimed to be the “one truth” while being entirely data hesitant with regards what has been happening in the rest of the world, being especially late with their response in the up-tick of Myocarditis incidents following vaccination. Our experts have done nothing but present pessimistic modelling and the “best” advice given to our government has been to keep the border closed in the hope of making Covid “go away”.
The mainstream media, as devout followers within the cult of the vaccine, have made sure to call any and all side effects “rare” and admonished doctors that tried to warn us. Anything that is not conform the narrative is immediately marked “misinformation” without further clarification. How dare people have the pomposity to form an opinion right?
Despite an exhaustive, publicly available pool of information, as demonstrated in the references provided, individuals in a position of authority appear to have made decisions based on what suits their agenda and the narrative over the concerns of public health.
It is this kind of pusillanimity which will only exacerbate the deleterious effects done by our inaction and uninformed decisions, on a physical and psychological level unto the people well into the future. Expect more social problems, distrust of authority, mental health issues and suicides if we continue on this path.
Not angry, just disappointed. I can partly empathise with those in positions of responsibility, no one wanted to have to make these decisions and there is alot of expectation on behalf of the people. But 2 years on now, many goal posts moved, and I cannot say I have seen any improvement in how the pandemic is being handled. Let alone actively encouraging (nudging) people to live healthier lives for the benefit of all whānau and DHB’s.
If we continue to treat the vaccines as our “silver bullet”, ignore prophylaxis and early treatment then New Zealand will be munted.
Let our doctors, nurses speak freely rather then punishing them for dissenting opinions I am certain they have stories that should be told.
There is a wealth of knowledge available, and it is best explored together, as a large chorus of voices, rather then having a select few arbiters of opinion, in an ivory tower, decide what can be discussed.
If all this is too much and you still fear for your life, you are still welcome to continue to wear a mask, you can still stay home, you can still work from home, you can still order your groceries online. Most people will move on though, such is and should be the freedom within a democracy.
Limitations
I am the sole author of this document, I am a mere mortal, consequently this work is not perfect. I believe to be on solid ground in my analysis, reasoning, and am happy to admit at being wrong. This document is not peer reviewed. It has been months in the making in my spare time and updated to reflect the oncoming Omicron wave.
References provided are a mix of pre-print and peer reviewed sources, Covid moves faster then our review process so we cannot be overtly selective. This is especially so while we are dealing with a number of unknowns vis-à-vis Omicron.
A small number of non-academic sources are provided on the basis of being notable enough that they warrant observation and further discussion.
When you cannot question science it is no longer science, it is propaganda.
Conflicts of Interest / Funding
I have received no external funding.
I have no conflicts of interest, just a dissenting opinion.
I am not after fame, I just want the harm to scientific inquiry to stop and censorship to cease.
I believe the unvaccinated will enjoy a greater quality of life in the long term.
Not pro-vaccination or anti-vaccination, it should be a personal choice, deliberated upon with a preferred physician who can offer informed consent based on all available data and not just what the WHO, CDC and local government deign appropriate.
Career bureaucrats who hold the title of “Doctor” that are not actively treating Covid patients nor are actively involved in analysing or publishing research and data have no place in this discussion.
