OPINION

I don’t know whether the New Zealand whistleblower data stacks up to support New Zealand’s excess deaths but quite frankly I don’t care. I’m not so cold-hearted as to apprise my nearest and dearest jabbed and boosted that NZ data supports the prediction that the vaccinated can expect an early demise. The truth is, we still don’t know if, or when, that proverbial bucket will hit the fan.

Thalidomide was on the market for four years.

Thalidomide was first marketed in 1957 in West Germany, where it was available over the counter.[10][11] When first released, thalidomide was promoted for anxietytrouble sleeping, “tension”, and morning sickness.[11][12] While it was initially thought to be safe in pregnancy, concerns regarding birth defects arose, resulting in its removal from the market in Europe in 1961.[10][11] 

The total number of infants affected by thalidomide use during pregnancy is estimated at 10,000, of whom about 40% died around the time of birth.[6][11] Those who survived had limb, eye, urinary tract, and heart problems.[10] Its initial entry into the US market was prevented by Frances Kelsey, a reviewer at the FDA.[12] The birth defects caused by thalidomide led to the development of greater drug regulation and monitoring in many countries.[10][12]

Obviously, we learned nothing from the thalidomide health catastrophe. Or was it a case of health officials deferring the inevitable claims for compensation for as long as possible, until many had died? At any rate, where was the ‘greater drug regulation and monitoring’ any rational person would have expected to see during the Covid pandemic?

In 2013 Australia and New Zealand jointly lodged a class action against the German pharmaceutical company Grunenthal, which also received legal action from the United States, Britain and Spain.

In November this year Australian thalidomide victims listened in the public gallery to a public apology from their government on the 62nd anniversary of the day thalidomide was withdrawn from sale.

The life expectancy of thalidomide babies varied, which may account for the length of time it took for its victims to be acknowledged. New Zealand’s thalidomide victims are still waiting for their government’s apology.

Limbs can fail to develop properly, in some cases also eyes, ears and internal organs. No-one knows how many miscarriages the drug caused, but it’s estimated that, in Germany alone, 10,000 babies were born affected by Thalidomide. Many were too damaged to survive for long.

BBC News 3 November 2011

How many babies were affected by thalidomide? Wouldn’t you think the numbers would be well-known by now? Wikipedia reports 10,000 affected children in Germany and the BBC reports 10,000 babies worldwide. Either this is a reporting system failure or no one actually cares.

“The lack of a proper system for evaluating the safety of medicines at the time compounded the drug’s harmful consequences.”

History repeated itself during Covid. Another experimental medical treatment and no one blinks an eye about the fact that no systems were in place to accurately monitor the effects of the experimental vaccine?

Neither will I apprise my nearest and dearest about Dr Robert Malone’s summation of the four lies instrumental in the worldwide campaign to jab us by suckering, coercing, and bribing us into achieving New Zealand’s very high Covid vaccination rate.

Lie #1 The Covid vaccines are safe and effective“A repeated slogan” – Dr Malone.

Lie #2 The mRNA lasts in the body for a short period of time

We now know that these products remain in your body and remain biologically active for an undetermined period of time, of at least weeks and probably months,” rebuked Dr Malone.

Lie #3 The mRNA stays in the arm at the injection site. “They knew that these products deployed all throughout the body,” said Dr Malone.

Lie #4 No one will be safe until everyone is vaccinated. Pfizer admitted to MEP Rob Roos that they never tested if the jab stopped transmission.

Following the NZ whistleblower data drop of vaccination rates and death rates, Dr Shane Reti MP, the holder of the New Zealand Government’s health portfolio, issued the following statement.

“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.”

Dr Shane Reti in the Daily Telegraph NZ

Given that thalidomide facts are murky and the number of adverse events vague and took years to surface, can we really trust the experts? The truth is, neither Reti nor I will be around in fifty or sixty years when the long-term effects of the experimental mRNA vaccine are well and truly known.

I cannot escape the fact that nobody cares about my health, or the health of my children, more than I do.

Handing over the responsibility for making important health decisions to someone with no vested interest in my future health makes no sense whatsoever.

Personal experience has taught me to listen, question and then think long and hard about health decisions. It helps to seek advice from a range of health aficionados of good standing in the community and with proven records of health accuracy.

My regard for vaccines fell well below what it was pre-Covid, and I am relieved that I do not have to make decisions about childhood vaccinations today. My vaccinated children are all adults now, albeit with one acquiring a debilitating auto-immune disease along the way the cause of which is unknown. Naturally.

I am happily a New Zealander whose heritage shaped but does not define. Four generations ago my forebears left overcrowded, poverty ridden England, Ireland and Germany for better prospects here. They were...
