spent much of 2022 writing affidavits (>20) against C-19 vax'n of healthy children in Family & High Court cases. Below is my concl in Kids HC Case (TheHoodNZ). Gov't and advisers still refute the evidence but now we have confirmed molecular mechanisms (eg IgG4 class switching)😢

@davidcapie A lot of noise on X over this FTA, esp from NZF and its supporters. Would love to learn @charles_finny take on the final agreement including the controversies surrounding immigration/visa caps

“In my view, it is way past time to stop the over-moralising and grow up. If we can’t demonstrate that we are serious – that we can separate long-term strategy from short-term bipartisan ruffles – India has plenty of other suitors.”

This is the response from Ian Brighthope that Derek Cheng deserves open.substack.com/pub/ianbrighth… As for McIntyre, he is who I had specifically in mind when I wrote (NB correction: NNTV>>NNTH) x.com/pungalog1/stat…

@aniobrien Appears Hipkins can still hide behind plausible deniability on early warnings. Town and Bloomfield cannot. Full breakdown of Town's contradictions + non-disclosure: pungalog1.substack.com/p/hidden-inter… Did Bloomfield minimize concerns as per Fauci -a nuanced message is a garbled message!

Can someone help me out? I'm confused as to why we are talking about whether Hipkins knew about risks in 2022 when OIAs show a bunch of documentation in 2021. health.govt.nz/system/files/2…

Furious is an understatement! Asking questions does NOT make you a conspiracy theorist! Heather du Plessis-Allan writes finally in 2026… “They were right to be concerned about jabbing their kids…” We sent you these concerns in 2022!!

@Mick_O_B I have attached an addendum for an oversight: Selva et al (2026). Has potential implications for why we are failing to achieve endemicity. Ofc, I will also recommend a companion essay: open.substack.com/pub/pungalog1/…

@Mick_O_B @TheRedbaiter pungalog1.substack.com/p/hidden-inter…

@TheRedbaiter COVID-19 disease in children is typically mild or asymptomatic. Using serological markers as a measure of prior SARS-CoV2 infection, secondary school-aged children in England (early July 2021 indicate the proportion of students testing antibody positive is approximately 40%

Quite incredible that this vital information on vaccination for under 18s was apparently not passed to relevant Ministers or Jacinda Ardern. This memo was sent directly to Dr Ashley Bloomfield on 9th December 2021. It was CC'd to relevant managers. From Dr Ian Town, the govt's Chief Science Adviser. So how come the information therein never made it to the Podium of Truth? Heads need to roll. If any children suffered side effects, someone should pay the price. Note- this is a facsimile of the actual two page memo as posted to X by the erstwhile Thomas Cranmer. ( @CranmerWrites ) The three paragraphs included/ highlighted have not been shortened or changed in any way.

As to my knowledge regarding this memo and how it was hidden from Court cases: pungalog1.substack.com/p/hidden-inter… @CranmerWrites

@TimTrippDesign 100%. I despair at the level and competence of the advice received. As far as I can tell the Commissioners refuse to challenge/question the advice given

That's because... 1. Ashley Bloomfield says so.. Reference 150: NZ Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned: Phase Two, interview with Sir Ashley Bloomfield (26 May 2025). But I doubt we'll ever see that interview 2. And "the epidemiology of the COVID-19 virus is outside the scope of this Inquiry" But the weirdest statement I’ve seen so far... "We received submissions that the Government was wrong to rely so much on vaccination as a way out of the pandemic, and should have preferred alternative strategies to vaccination, such as relying on natural immunity, taking Vitamin D or making healthy lifestyle changes, this view was almost always presented to us within the context of a belief that COVID-19 was not a serious illness with high mortality.” They are effectively framing submitters' advocacy for lifestyle prevention strategies (like vitamin D and healthy habits) as tied to downplaying COVID-19's severity. Like no kidding, if someone is healthy, serious outcomes are exceedingly rare...  This is like rejecting seatbelt and speed limit recommendations because they acknowledge the risks of driving accidents. It seems the commissioners were really struggling with understanding some of the arguments

#Covid19nz “Officials and scientists told us that relying largely on natural immunity… would have involved a significant burden of sickness and deaths.” #gullible No engagement with submitter data on cross-immunity, innate immunity, or low IFR. tinyurl.com/28e7pseb

@TheRedbaiter I concur -the report simply ploughs the same furrow as the Phase 1 report. Depressing pungalog1.substack.com/p/royal-commis…

Two paragraphs everyone needs to read from the report issued by the Covid Phase two commission. ------------------------ "We have carefully considered the concerns raised in submissions, drawing on the views of vaccine experts, studies provided by submitters, peer-reviewed journal articles, international regulators, and New Zealand’s Independent Safety Monitoring Board. The concerns raised were not grounded in reliable evidence or aligned with scientific consensus. Our conclusions reflect the robust scientific evidence available on the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines." ------------------------ Pretty disappointing overall. I watched the Voices For Freedom submission. Saying "it was not grounded in reliable evidence" is just utter nonsense. IMHO the above paragraph completely discredits the commission. While some of its findings have validity, the opinions expressed here show it never really took its task seriously or did its work with any real vigour. The truth is still being concealed. Video- VFF founder Claire Deeks delivers the closing words to their submission.

@Mick_O_B @HopeRising19 Makes you wonder why Town's involvement with the Commission is sealed!

@pungalog1 @HopeRising19 x.com/i/status/20315…

CRUCIAL mRNA CHILD SAFETY RECOMMENDATION CONCEALED FROM CABINET... (start watching the video from 1:38 mark) Today the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid-19 Lessons Learned findings were made public. One of the findings generating the greatest amount of media response, surrounds a series of events that I posted endlessly about at the time....and not a single media platform picked the story up. The chief technical advisory committee for Covid vaccines (CV TAG) made the recommendation that children and teens under the age of 18 should not be forced to have two doses of Pfizer mRNA to comply with mandates, or to receive vaccines passes. Why? Because it was known that this was the demographic at greatest risk of mRNA induced MYOCARDITIS....and their risk of serious illness or death from Covid infection was extremely small. THIS RECOMMENDATION WAS CONCEALED FROM CABINET and our children from age 12 to 18 were mandated to take two doses, significantly increasing their risk of MYOCARDITIS AND SUB CLINICAL MYOCARDITIS NZ First Shane Jones today said the following... *NZ first will prosecute questions in the House to Labour as to why they CONCEALED information and how and why they failed parents of NZ *Chris Hipkins claims the recommendation was never provided to cabinet and ministers *Jones says Hipkins either CONCEALED the information or the level of ineptitude was so spectacular he has ENDANGERED THE HEALTH long term of hundreds of thousands of NZ children. Quote: "I SAY THAT LEVEL OF IGNORANCE IS INDICTABLE" (link to original video in comments)

@Mick_O_B @HopeRising19 And I believe the evidence will come back to Town and Bloomfield. The real Q is why did they write out CV-TAGs concerns when facing the public and cabinet. And Town's affidavits were less than transparent on this issue. VFF have the receipts!

@HopeRising19 They had enough information for this to be a major concern, yet pushed ahead anyway. Hipkins can not say they didn't know. Plausible deniability does not apply here. At best, this is negligence hartgroup.org/recent-deaths-…

@Mick_O_B What did Fauci say --a nuanced message is a garbled message!

@pungalog1 People don't seem to like advice Simon. They would rather be told. Even if it is way wide of the mark. That is why deceit thrives. If it was not sad, it would be humorous.

"That arrogance and hubris, that prioritisation of short-term antibody control over the uncertain, multi-basin landscape biology actually inhabits, remains the defining failure of our COVID response."

@spidercatnz @KajensAngel "He's not a COVID data expert" Really? You want to have a go at Barry Young, that's fine with me as you well know, but to dismiss Robert Scragg, that's a different matter

@pungalog1 @KajensAngel What does that have to do with the information in the vaccinator payments database?

You haven’t thought this through Barry. He’s not a covid data expert. Or maybe you have and you are actively trying to tank legitimate data on Jacinda’s/governments behalf. Which is it? Why are you not doing the work to make your case from the publicly and legally available data? Your data doesn’t make it. You were quite clearly told that by several internationally based analysts in this field whilst you were shopping it around. Why are you still asserting the public legal data doesn’t exist? #BadActor spidercatnz.com/what-is-new-ze…

You cant conclude squat from unadjusted raw counts. But a slope of 0.88-0.90 with vaccinated deaths averaging ~80-85% of total during 2022-2023 peaks is consistent with vaccinated individuals making up ~85-90% of the at-risk population during those months -No obvious benefit.
