This week New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke to the United Nations General Assembly. Her address was remarkable. The same person who ordered an invasion of peaceful protesters at Parliament earlier this year, had the chutzpah to say:
“In Aotearoa New Zealand, we deeply value our right to protest. Some of our major social progress has been brought about by hikoi or people power – becoming the first country in the world to recognise women’s right to vote, movement on major indigenous and human rights issues to name but a few.”
She then continued to call for a campaign of global censorship comprising governmental alliances in partnership with the private sector, for the purpose of combating “mis and disinformation”, which she characterized as weapons of war.
From her speech it appears that questioning climate change would be verboten, and attempting to understand the basis of an actual military conflict, e.g., in Ukraine, if it falls outside the approved governmental narrative, would trigger a warning to State censors.
I recall, incidentally, that this same Prime Minister locked down the entire country after a single positive case of Covid emerged in Auckland, that she pushed mandatory inoculations in healthcare, required mask-wearing and social distancing, and helped to create a vax apartheid society that divided people into two camps, the jabbed and the unjabbed, wherein those who exercised their right to choose not to receive an inadequately tested and dubious novel medical intervention were prevented from basic human social interaction: no haircuts, gyms, restaurants, cafes, no theatre-going, no assembly at places of worship, not even school sports for the “unclean”.
She allowed no debate regarding the so-called science behind measures that resulted in hardship, the loss of livelihoods, psychological turmoil and, too, the actual loss of life. And at no time did she support the early treatment of those who contracted Covid.
However I wish to call attention to another kind of disinformation about which the Prime Minister should be concerned: the disinformation of no information. It is a deviously clever tactic and I will illustrate its employment here.
Recently I was contacted by a midwife who had received anecdotal reports of an increase in perinatal deaths in 2022. She filed Official Information Act requests with every District Health Board in New Zealand to obtain data on perinatal mortality, and in a number of these catchment areas there appeared to be a worrisome increase of deaths over the previous three years. For example, in the Waikato District Health Board there were 49 perinatal deaths for 2021, and in only the first six months of 2022 there were already 46 total perinatal deaths.
I do not wish to present an analysis of the statistical data received, which is complex and outside my area of expertise – that is an undertaking for another time and by a qualified epidemiologist – but I do wish to point out one variable, one factor, that is glaringly absent, namely, whether mothers had received the Covid so-called vaccine.
This is an astonishing omission. It signifies that of all the many variables involved in health outcomes, this particular one – the contribution of a Covid injection – would never be able to be determined. In light of the fact that the rollout of the injections represented New Zealand’s largest mass medical intervention in history, the failure to gather these essential data is a dereliction of duty that amounts to criminal neglect.
The Perinatal and Maternal Mortality Review Committee (PMMRC) is charged with the responsibility “to review and report on perinatal deaths with the aim of reducing them while continuously improving the quality of systems and policy.” Their most recent report covers the calendar year 2018; there is no information from that time until the present, though they claim to work “towards zero preventable deaths or harm for all mothers and babies, families and whānau.”
When asked to include maternal Covid “vaccination” status as a datapoint, the PMMRC wrote evasively and skirted the request with assurances that they were keeping a close eye on perinatal deaths.
An honest government presiding over an honest healthcare system should be mandating the collection and reporting of maternal Covid “vaccine” data for routine analysis. Its failure to do so – purposefully or as a result of pure incompetence – should not be excused.
Instead, the Prime Minister rails on about “dangerous” purveyors of “mis or disinformation” who must be combated with the ways and means of modern warfare, and covers her own malfeasance by providing no information where information is essential.
Come to think of it, how much information was conveyed about the Pfizer inoculation? Oh, yes, I remember: safe and effective.
