Public Health Officials Behaving Badly<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The recent explosive non-testimony from Dr. Anthony Fauci before the U.S. Senate, combined with the release of his private-not-private diaries, has torn another mask off the global pandemic narrative. The Midwestern Doctor<\/a> on Substack reflects on the meaning of some of what was put to Fauci, who refused all questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we see is a pattern of expert-driven fear that had devastating consequences. For New Zealand, this is not just a distant story. The parallels are striking and should command our attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fauci Diaries: A Blueprint for Deference<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We thank Dr Jeffrey Tucker for fighting back the bile and plunging headlong into FauciWorld<\/a>.  Fauci’s private notes on a government computer reveal a narcissistic sociopath intoxicated with his own mana and authority, certainly basking in the limelight and adulation of celebs, but there are serious realities admitted here too. During the height of the pandemic, Dr. Fauci privately acknowledged the Wuhan lab-leak hypothesis was plausible and that the actual covid-19 mortality rate was far lower than the scare story he told the public. He privately admitted doubts about the effectiveness of lockdowns while publicly enforcing them. Most shockingly he knew animal vaccine data showed serious pregnancy concerns whilst lying in his teeth to the public that everything was fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, the media and political class placed him on a pedestal. He was dubbed “the one guy you can trust” and treated as a rock star. As one analysis noted, the public was conditioned to follow the crowd and believe the most confident party, even if what was being promoted was insane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Local Parallel: Our Own Unlikely Heartthrob<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Around the world, similar officials were sent to calm back down the ramped-up fears and did exactly that<\/a>. The public was told simply to “Trust the Science” and trust the people delivering it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw the exact same script play out here in NZ. Dr. Ashley Bloomfield was elevated to the status of a “mild-mannered health care hero” and an “unlikely heartthrob.” The media warned of “two desolate days without updates from Ashley Bloomfield,” creating a cult of personality around a civil servant. He was certainly lionised for being the face of the response, but his practical influence extended into many areas of pandemic management. His was more than a shop window role; he was driving, and coralling, the flow of information needed to get as many jabs in as many arms as quickly as possible. There are disturbing suggestions as to how far he was prepared to go to achieve this aim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one revealing moment<\/a>, he denigrates people who question his pandemic management as “cookers”, showing the distance he clearly feels from rules governing working doctors at the patient coalface, who are trained not to discriminate, be judgemental or insult people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So just as Fauci was caught in contradictions, the same questions are now being asked here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Peters Question: What Did They Know?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Party leader, Foreign Minister and recent Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has joined other political statesmen internationally, expressing disgust at the cover-ups. He has disparaged the second Royal Commission, saying no decent candidates for commissioner would have accepted the narrow terms of reference. We have certainly had our say about the links between Chair Grant Illingworth and the global power brokers. Peters highlighted that the Royal Commission confirmed the Ministry of Health knew that for 12-17-year-olds, the two-dose covid-19 vaccine schedule presented an “unnecessary risk” of myocarditis. This advice was given in November 2021 but was never passed on to ministers or the public by Dr Bloomfield. However, some ministers did know but worked to keep it from public view, as the Freedom Party and journalist Derek Cheng at the NZ Herald have been reporting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Peters is now demanding a select committee inquiry into vaccine injuries, arguing that the enquiry response was a “disgrace to a modern-day democracy” and that hundreds of thousands of young people may have been impacted, or are yet to be. He was explicit about possible future health harms, the first time a senior figure has acknowledged this reality in New Zealand. Mr Peters even flirted with the c-word in this interview with Chris Lynch where he wonders about criminal culpability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
