AN OPEN LETTER TO PHIL O'SULLIVAN, EXECUTIVE EDITOR NEWS, TVNZ
@TVNZ@1NewsNZ@Breakfaston1
Today I read your thread on X attempting to start the process of rebuilding the trust of the NZ population.
In keeping with the phenomenon sweeping much of the western world, legacy media such as your own, has lost the trust of "the people" - call them your previous readers and viewers.
There are a myriad of reasons, but I wish to share with you some of the perspectives of the tens of thousands of New Zealanders who belong to the Health Forum NZ community.
I know how they feel because many times, I have asked them and they have told me....through 100s of social media comments, and 100s more personal conversations and private messages.
It's fair to say that the wide and diverse spectrum of New Zealanders in our community, not only have lost trust in you....they actively despise your organisation and other such NZ Legacy Media outlets.
Why?
Call this market research if you like...the "focus group" you never asked for, but just might be the saviour of your business if you have the humility to stop, open your heart and ears, and really LISTEN.
Let me tell you about the hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders who will never again "tune in" to a media organisation they believe betrayed them, in order to either do the bidding of the Government...or at the very least, not rock the boat through truly independent, nuanced, ethical investigative journalism.
We are the New Zealanders who were "othered" by society and media, in the past 4 years.
We are the one million (yes an accurate figure) New Zealand men, women and children who refused to take a hastily developed provisionally approved mRNA injection....even when it cost us EVERYTHING except our health.
What did it cost us?
Jobs
Careers
Marriages
Friendships
Families
Homes
Money
Mana
Respect
Mental Health
The ability to move freely in society
Entry to anywhere except essential services
Relationships with GPs who had cared for us for decades
Trust in our Government
Trust in our media
By now you are probably thinking "so what....you had a choice".
Let me share with you the reality of some of those "choices".
These are the stories that your organisation and all other Legacy Media in NZ, hastily turned away from; instead intent on further accentuating the suffering of good Kiwi's caught in a million and one versions of impossible.
Well, there were the surgeons, doctors, nurses, midwives, psychologist, psychiatrists and a plethora of other health professionals, who said NO to the injections.
Health professionals with cumulative thousands of years of professional experience and service. They knew how to use PubMed; how to research peer reviewed science...and how to think critically and independently. They also knew how to search Government Pharmacovigilence databases in countries who rolled out the Pfizer mRNA 2 - 3 months before NZ.
We lost THREE precious Anaesthetists who said NO and 100s of Doctors. We lost an Orthopaedic Surgeon who offered a rare form of Paediatric surgery. We lost a Forensic Psychiatrist. We lost over 1000 NZ nurses and 100s of Midwives.
They lost everything when they said NO.
Some of them refused because of their independent analysis and research. Others lost everything when their Medical Exemption applications were declined.
Why did they apply for Medical Exemptions?
So many reasons. Pre existing Chronic Fatigue, Auto Immune disease or Cardiac disease. Some were pregnant or lactating and aware that Pfizer had included neither group in their trials - there was ZERO safety data.
Some either willingly or unwillingly took a first dose of Pfizer mRNA and experienced serious adverse events that included:
stroke
heart attack
myocarditis
pericarditis
neurological damage
anaphylactic shock
bells palsy
and much, much more...
The vast majority had their Medical Exemptions declined.
If they were lucky they were given a temporary "stay of execution" of 3 months to "recover" from their illness and prepare for their second mandated dose.
Those who collapsed with life threatening anaphylaxis on dose one, were denied exemptions, and instead informed to take their next dose promptly at an Emergency Department where a crash cart and a Resuscitation Team would be at hand.
Did you know that there have been almost 67,000 individual Adverse Event reports filed with CARM for Covid injections? (One report may include several different medical events). Medsafe informs us in our OIAs that this will be a large under reporting (they estimate in the realm of 20 times underreporting rate) of ACTUAL adverse events.
Did you know that almost 45,000 medical events were reported, deemed SERIOUS by the reporter - this means a significant medical event requiring hospitalisation and/or permanent or ongoing injury or illness.
Then there are the 193 deaths following Pfizer mRNA reported to Medsafe ...many who did not receive an autopsy following their death.
These lives of the injured and the mandated out, are still broken to this day. Many are deeply traumatised, emotionally broken, and financially broken...and many still battling chronic unrelenting, life altering physical injury from this medical product.
There is no financial support for most of them. Battling ACC becomes a Herculean effort, overwhelming and impossible for most of the mRNA injured. Eventually they give up and live on sickness benefits or on the largess of family and friends.
Where was your genuine, unbiased investigative reporting when 1000s of these New Zealanders, with absolutely nothing left to loose, gathered in front of Parliament for weeks on end?
All we remember are endless column inches devoted to demeaning, belittling and harassing. Doctors, teachers, nurses, professionals from every walk of life, branded "Conspiracy Theorist" and "Anti Vaxer".
Not ONE of your highly trained journalists bothering to side step the chocking Government ordained propaganda, to do their job....to investigate, listen and report the truth.
Phil I could turn this "focus group" into a book, but I have run out of column inches here.
If you want to save your media station and draw back your readers and your viewers, I suggest you read, reread and reread this again.
Give voice to the suffering of so many New Zealanders. Say you are sorry and mean it.
I can provide you with endless OIA's to back up everything I have stated here.
I hold 1000s of emails attesting to this harm - I submitted 1200 PAGES of these reports to the Covid Inquiry Phase 1.
Interview the vaccine injured. Write their stories.
Investigate our inadequate pharmacovigilance system, and our punitive and broken ACC system.
I make myself fully available for interviews and to share information, data, peer reviewed science, vaccine injury reports and Official Information responses with you.
Telling us how you use AI will not bring us back Phil.
Only humility, truth and justice will have even the smallest chance of doing that.

In a few hours, I leave Cuba after two weeks in a land that seems to hover above time.
Cuba is anachronistic in both directions — towards both past and future. It exists in the past, because it has inherited the burden of underdevelopment. Like much of the world, it is haunted by the many shadows of colonial domination. Its cars are old. Its roads need mending. Its concessions to the world it inhabits tug at its people from different directions. Its northern neighbor — even in its advanced state of rot — refuses to lift its knee from Cuba’s neck. The longest-standing sanctions regime in human history is now compounded by the crippling and absurd designation of Cuba, a state-sponsor of hope, as a state-sponsor of terror.
It exists in the future, because it has built a project that, for most of us, remains in the realm of imagination. The 1959 Cuban Revolution overthrew the shackles of colonialism and, from the devastation it inherited, eliminated illiteracy; guaranteed free healthcare, housing and food for all; transformed the structure of land ownership; and built the most prosperous society in one of the world’s most overexploited regions.
Cuba has more hospitals than banks. It has more doctors than policemen — and has dispatched them to help as many nations as the United States has sanctioned. Cuba supported liberation movements from Angola to Bolivia, and played a major role in ending apartheid in South Africa. Today, it stands firmly with the Palestinian resistance against the Zionist genocide. For six decades, the Cuban people have held the aspirations of the Third World on their shoulders. They are, to paraphrase a poem, exiles from the future, cast into an old world unprepared for their fellowship.
That old world has tried to expel Cuba as if it were a cancer. But it has failed, because the old world is the cancer; Cuba is the cure. The world of the colonizer and imperialist is the parasite that feeds on the body of humanity to sustain its grim futurelessness. The so-called Western world is the aberration — an anomaly so far past its due date, so deeply panicked, that it is prepared to kill children.
The genocide in Gaza and the blockade of Cuba represent violence different in form but identical in intent: to eradicate the very dream of defiance. They are warnings, commanding us to lower our chins and turn our eyes to the ground lest we catch a glimpse of the future from which the struggles for liberation visit us. But take a walk along the streets of Havana or Ramallah and you will see that the people of Cuba, like the people of Palestine, hold their heads up high. They are people who, to quote the Soviet soldier and poet Nikolai Mayorov, “rendered the word ‘humanity’ into flesh”.
Because they have not surrendered, we keep fighting.
What hypocrisy!
Julian will have spent 5 years in Belmarsh maximum security prison on the 11th of April. A damning indictment of the UK and US’s disregard for media freedom and the values of truth and objectivity.
Through imprisoning Assange, @David_Cameron and @SecBlinken have provided the blueprint for imprisoning journalists all over the world, Gershkovich included.
I join the UN, @pressfreedom@RSF_inter and the entire press freedom and human rights community to call on the US to drop the charges against Julian Assange, and the UK to finally put an end to his arbitrary detention.
#FreeAssangeNOW
I warn @10DowningStreet we will fight any plan to conscript our young people to fight Joe Biden (or Donald Trump's) Wars. Russia is not our enemy. China is not our enemy. Your government and the economic system it represents are our enemy. I promise you the Mother of All Battles against this. #NoConscription @No2NatoNo2War
🇷🇺 Maria #Zakharova: Some young people who wanted to come to the World Youth Festival are from the countries we now call unfriendly regimes. So, they are here. Why? Because we don’t smear everybody with the same paint; and we don’t politicise humanitarian links. Instead, we point out the destructive policy of certain political circles, noting that we are always open to everybody who comes to us in peace. Young people from all continents are here. There are guests from the United States, Canada, the NATO countries, the EU, and so on.
@Borchacalas No sería difícil reducir, eliminar no, pero reducir sí, la cantidad (innecesaria) de COV en productos de "limpieza". No veo porque no hacerlo al mismo tiempo que reducir vehículos con motores de CI. Tampoco puedes simplemente poner alto, la gente se quejará igual
