The Creation of Chamath

And on the seventh day, the final ring was completed.

[The Tribute NZ @TheTributeNZ]

The NZ Herald has published the story of a young Covid jab casualty today: Ashley Beulink who is diagnosed with vaccine-induced pericarditis, and one of the 1740 successful ACC claims for vaccine-related injuries.

Her mother told Derek Cheng: “It does make me angry. It took a real toll, on Ashley’s health and my mental health as a parent, and it could’ve been avoided.”

“I personally don’t think they were justified in including that 12 to 17 age group in the vaccine passes. The Government wasn’t transparent with that information. I believe they were just more concerned about getting their vaccination rates up.”

Cheng also interviewed Professor Peter McIntyre of the Ministry of Health’s Covid-19 Vaccine Technical Advisory Group, who acknowledges:

"It wasn’t just 12- to 17-year-olds who might have been in some kind of paid employment [and affected by workforce mandates]. We were hearing reports of children being denied participation in sport – that kind of thing."

“In that environment, my memory of the views on the CV Tag is: ‘Although the vaccine is safe and effective, a mandatory two dose-approach is not appropriate for 12- to 17-year-olds, because if otherwise healthy they are at low risk of severe illness from Covid, and there is some suggestive evidence that the low risk of myocarditis and pericarditis may be higher in younger age groups, especially boys, and following the second dose’.”

“I personally think it’s unequivocal that the vaccine requirements were a bad idea. And it’s absolutely 100% gold-plated that they were a bad idea for 12- to 17-year-olds. To justify that, you need really good evidence. Was that evidence there? That it was going to increase coverage to the level that was going to provide significant additional community protection? No."

“The predictable harm to social interaction and educational opportunity from exclusion of this age group far outweighed any uncertain benefits to individuals in this age group or the community."

For over 20 years, the BSA told Parliament it didn't have the power to regulate internet content. Parliament agreed - and declined to give it to them.

Now, after a complaint about Sean Plunket calling tikanga "mumbo jumbo," the BSA has reread a 1989 statute and decided it had the power all along.

This isn't about Sean Plunket. It's not about The Platform. It's about the principle: when Parliament says no, a handful of unelected officials in Wellington don't get to help themselves.

Hear from our Chief Executive, Jillaine Heather:

@Suitandtie9999 What a total scumbag of a human. I don’t recall anyone providing serious ongoing warnings of adverse effects. Whenever there was a hint of concern it was swept aside and we were told it was safe and effective. What a pathetic coward of a man passing the buck. Labour is despicable

Was Hipkins the Vaccine Villain? Not only did Chris Hipkins know that a second dose of the Covid vaccine posed heart damage risk to young people, they were in fact pushing boosters onto young people when expert advice was that they shouldn’t even be getting the 2 shots to begin with.

Chris Hipkins has repeatedly said he wasn’t aware of the risk at the time, but official documents prove otherwise. Can we trust him, and should he resign?

"The timelines and lack of knowledge of key ministers just didn’t seem right. So I typed “myocarditis” into https://t.co/b0W9pdX8au and scrolled aimlessly through Official Information Act requests from 2021 and 2022."

[Ani O'Brien @aniobrien]

It's a shame this is paywalled. It details that the Herald has "unearthed a Cabinet paper, in Hipkins’ name, from March 2022 that includes the advice".
For some reason the paper never made it to the Covid Inquiry.

[Matt King Northland @MattKingNorth]

They knew that the COVID vaccine causes Myocarditis they lied that it was safe and effective and mandated people to get it.

Myocarditis is a serious injury which in many cases can be terminal, it's a ticking time bomb inside many of us.

This is a criminal offence no question.

@aniobrien Lock this monster up. They all deserve to be on trial at the very least. Not sorry.

In a normal country Chris Hipkins would be finished. He would be issuing a resignation statement this evening in disgrace.
Unfortunately we live in a country where media will create scandals for one side while ignoring the failings of the other.

[Ani O'Brien @aniobrien]

This is possibly the worst finding of the Royal Commission. Appalling. Hipkins should front media immediately.
"Official advice cautioning the Govt against mandating two doses of the Covid-19 Pfizer vaccine for under-18s was never shown to ministers..." https://t.co/b2kH8FOWx0
