TV3’s pregnant Samantha Hayes was admitted to hospital last month for a “scary few days spent in hospital fighting a mystery infection, facing worries her baby might be arriving two months early”. Hayes and her unborn baby recovered from a fever thought to be caused by an unknown virus, but Hayes provided a convenient mouthpiece for the “Team of $55 Million” (media) and obligingly endorsed government Covid misinformation (propaganda) about vaccine safety.
“I’ve spoken at length to my obstetrician and the obstetric physicians at the hospital and they’ve assured me the COVID-19 vaccine is safe for pregnant women and their babies. I’ll be getting mine as soon as I get the call up.”

Presumably, Hayes’s medical advisers follow the NZ Health Department guidelines on the Covid website:
“If you’re pregnant, you can get a COVID-19 vaccine as part of Group 3 at any stage of your pregnancy. People in Group 3 are eligible to book their vaccinations now.”
Government Health Department
Anyone reading the government’s Covid-19 website would assume that government advice for pregnant women to receive the jab means the vaccine is safe for them to receive.
But Pfizer claims no such thing, admitting they have insufficient data to determine whether the vaccine constitutes a health risk for pregnant women.
Pfizer press releases 1 April 2021 and the latest on 28 July 2021 include the same paragraph under the heading “Important Safety Information”:
“Available data on Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy.”
Pfizer Press Releases 1 April & 28 July 2021
The July press release followed a six month review of vaccine data:
“The vaccine continues to be safe, well tolerated, and remains highly efficacious in preventing COVID-19, including disease caused by SARS-CoV-2.”
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).”
Maybe the vaccine is safe during pregnancy, maybe it isn’t – but that is NOT what our government or the media is telling us.
If, collectively, the government, health professionals and media are dishonest about vaccine safety because they fear a drop in their desired vaccination take up, why would anyone trust them?
But “Trust us” is exactly what Ardern asked us to do. In May last year Derek Chang reported on Ardern’s promises made when lock down speculations were swirling.
“We will share with you the most up-to-date information daily. You can trust us as a source of that information,” she told reporters in Rotorua.”Do feel free to visit covid19.govt.nz – otherwise dismiss anything else. We will continue to be your single source of truth.”Everything else you see, a grain of salt”.”
Laura Dodsworth on Sky News Outsiders last weekend made the comment that “A government that uses fear has given up on trust and transparency” when introducing her book “A State of Fear: How the UK government weaponised fear during the Covid-19 pandemic”.
Separating government misinformation/propaganda about vaccine safety became very murky indeed when our government ramped up its propaganda fear machine.
When the New Zealand Prime Minister back in March scolded a 21-year-old for going to the gym after his Covid-19 test and ignoring “a full two-week period of sustained propaganda” — yes, she said that — she was right about one thing. Not since World War II have we endured so much propaganda. But it’s been a lot longer than two weeks.
Jacinda Ardern’s Freudian slip illustrates how democratic governments have been as guilty of “misinformation” or “disinformation” as any critics of lockdowns, masks and border restrictions. For 15 months they have trotted out fear-mongering slogans about “saving lives”, “staying alert” or (in Britain) “clapping for carers” on Thursday night.
The Australian
The health risk for pregnant women and their babies after receiving the Covid vaccination has not been determined and may turn out to be statistically irrelevant, but surely NZ women deserve to know, when deciding whether or not to vaccinate, that it has not been proven safe for pregnant women, meaning a possible risk exists?
The US government recommends pregnant women receive the vaccine because “Pregnant and recently pregnant people are more likely to get severely ill with COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people”. The US government has determined the health risk from contracting Covid outweighs the undetermined health risks resulting from the vaccine.
“Based on how these vaccines work in the body, experts believe they are unlikely to pose a risk for people who are pregnant. However, there are currently limited data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnant people.
Clinical trials that study the safety of COVID-19 vaccines and how well they work in pregnant people are underway or planned. Vaccine manufacturers are also collecting and reviewing data from people in the completed clinical trials who received vaccine and became pregnant.”
CDC
America’s Frontline Doctors is scathing about the safety evaluation.
America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) today released the following statement after National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed health-safety data showed “no red flags” among the approximately 10,000 pregnant women who have been vaccinated in the United States since the Food and Drug Administration approved two experimental COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use last month:
“Once again Dr. Fauci is making claims that are completely speculative and could do great harm to the public’s trust in our healthcare institutions. While he is right to echo the CDC’s directive that vaccination for expectant mothers should remain voluntary in consultation with a healthcare provider, it is far too early to draw conclusions from incomplete health-safety data for pregnant women or women of child-bearing age.
“Even the World Health Organization recognizes this basic statistical fact, which is why it cannot recommend an experimental vaccine for pregnant women except those at high risk of exposure to the novel coronavirus. Moreover, we have evidence, outlined in our COVID-19 vaccine white paper, to suggest that these experimental vaccines could cause indefinite auto-immune rejection of the placenta, i.e., infertility. Until additional study of the vaccines’ relationship to infertility and women’s reproductive health is undertaken at the national and international level, a process that requires years of observation, AFLDS believes it is reckless to gloss over gaps in information to promote the use of an experimental substance. We hope Dr. Fauci and President Biden will level with the American people rather than sound like used car salesmen when it comes to these experimental vaccines.”

We don’t have years to hang around waiting for the government to achieve ‘elimination’ of Covid-19. We would not survive the economic effects of ongoing lockdowns or adverse health effects such as the recent RSV deaths from depleted immunity that faded during last year’s lockdowns.
