Concerning Lack of Curiosity from Colorectal Surgeons
Recently two colorectal surgeons publicly raised the alarm about a dramatic rise in aggressive bowel cancers in young New Zealanders, here and here. So we wrote to them to ask the question no one in mainstream medicine seems willing to consider: Could the c-19 mRNA injections be part of this picture? Read our official letter below.
Both surgeons replied promptly and courteously, yet both dismissed any connection to the experimental and novel covid injections. One stated that he has “no expertise” in the possible causes of young-onset colorectal cancer, and the other insisted the trend is a “cohort effect” dating back decades, starting well before 2021.
Neither engaged with the possibility of a recent environmental trigger, despite publicly acknowledging that genetics have not changed, that traditional risk factors such as smoking, alcohol use, and red meat consumption have declined, and that “something in the environment… something bad” must be driving this unprecedented surge.
Surely they are aware of the single largest environmental shift in New Zealanders’ lives, the one that divided our nation, that has lead to unprecedented levels of damage and death, and has seen ACC payout over $14 million for accepted claims (as at July 2025). You know, the mass rollout of a novel, fast-tracked, genetically active injection to nearly the entire population. How could this be absent from their consideration?
We find this lack of curiosity profoundly troubling.
When frontline health professionals observe an alarming shift in cancer diagnoses, why is the most obvious change in the environment not considered? Why are doctors encouraged to look everywhere except at the one intervention introduced at population level, without long-term safety testing, and now known to contain genomic contaminants?
Their replies highlight an inherent problem in the current NZ health system, an unwillingness to investigate all plausible causes, especially those that challenge official narratives. Covid has become a kind of sacred untouchable story, one that cannot be questioned, and when it is, we all know what comes of that, a wall of silence as solid as a brick, wilful blindness, defensiveness and shameful avoidance.
They could at least consider an audit of their cancer patients – how many covid vaccines have they had and when?
NZDSOS remain committed to asking the questions others will not and we will keep the pressure on for open, independent inquiry into why so many young people are now developing aggressive cancers.
Read: NZDSOS Letter to Colorectal Surgeons
December 2nd, 2025
Dear Mr Bagshaw and Mr Frizelle,
We write to you in your roles as colorectal surgeons who have both spoken out recently in mainstream media regarding the increasing incidence and changing nature of colorectal cancer in young New Zealanders.
The specific media reports are RNZ’s Nine to Noon with Bryan Crump on 24 October 2025 and Stuff’s article on 29 September 2025.
We are a group of doctors who have had concerns about the short development timeline and lack of safety data for the covid injections since 2021.
Observations
We are interested that you both acknowledge observing a different type of colorectal cancer occurring in young people in recent years. We believe the language used is appropriate to the situation: “one of the most alarming shifts in cancer worldwide”, “speed of change is unprecedented”, “a dramatic rise in bowel cancer”, “like a Ferrari – it’s speeding away.”
We have been unable to access up-to-date NZ cancer statistics but agree that large data sets from overseas, anecdotal evidence and the word from health care workers all point to a change in the incidence and nature of cancer being diagnosed.
Possible causes
We are concerned that although you noted that genetics could not be the cause as the rise has been too rapid, and traditional risk factors – red meat consumption, smoking and alcohol use – have all declined, thus it must be being triggered by “something in the environment that we’re not seeing as bad”, neither of you has mentioned the obvious potential cause that should be considered – the mass covid mRNA injection rollout.
As fellow doctors, we agree that the things mentioned as possible causes (microplastics, diet, bacteria) may be relevant, but they have not changed substantially in the last few years. In contrast, the vast majority of the population has received at least one injection of novel genetic material in the last 4.5 years.
This injection was developed very rapidly and not tested for its potential to cause cancer before being rolled out to Kiwis. The Medsafe datasheet for Comirnaty says: “Neither genotoxicity nor carcinogenicity studies were performed.” This safety gap followed implicitly from the modified RNA products being labelled as ‘vaccines’ rather than the genetic agents the manufacturers and various agencies have acknowledged they are.
In addition, it has since been discovered by independent scientists that the vaccine is contaminated with large amounts of DNA and some of this includes the SV40 promoter-enhancer sequence which enables foreign genetic material to insert into host genomes. SV40 is used in the laboratory as an agent to cause tumours in experimental animal models.
It is relevant that the product used in Pfizer’s clinical trial was created using PCR technology, whereas the mass produced product that was rolled out to New Zealanders used a different technology involving bacterial plasmids hence allowing for potential DNA contamination.
UK colorectal surgeon noting same trend
A UK colorectal surgeon, Mr James Royle, has noticed a similar trend to you and has commented publicly on his observation of pathology occurring since the covid injection rollout.
In this short (16 mins) presentation he describes his observations of three waves of pathology – first was unusual blood clotting, second was unusual inflammatory and infective cases, and thirdly he started seeing unusually aggressive cancers including in young people in whom they are not normally seen. Presentations in this third group are ongoing.
The whole presentation is worth watching but from 7.45 mins he speaks about what he has observed regarding colorectal cancers post covid vaccine rollout. He mentions potential pathological mechanisms and notes that formal causality criteria (Bradford Hill) are fulfilled.
Observations from other NZ healthcare workers
We run a registry of statements from NZ health workers, the Truth Project, and have many representative accounts, published anonymously for obvious reasons, e.g. oncologist here, radiologist here. More compelling even than these is the sheer number of people who tell us what their oncologists and other team members are saying quietly to them about the skyrocketing numbers and the restrictions they feel under. We know this is anecdotal but most patients are not in the habit of lying to those trying to help them. And as we show now, there is data to support what we suggest is happening.
Mechanism of cancer causation
A number of scientists have put forward theories as to how the covid injections could contribute to cancer and we believe their theories deserve thorough investigation.
The articles below on our website include discussion of possible mechanisms of causation.
1) Turbo Cancer After Covid Injections
2) An Abiding Atrocity: Immune System Dysfunction and Cancer via SV40 Enhancer
3) How Might Covid-19 mRNA Vaccines Induce Turbo Cancer?
4) Increased Cancer Deaths After Third mRNA Injection Revealed in Japanese Data
Our latest covers some important covid jab and cancer research published this year, much of it generated by the doctors and scientists at The Focal Points group.

Other evidence
Many busy doctors were happy to be told that the benefits and lives saved were far greater than the risks of the covid injections. An example of this “look no further” nudging is the Watson et al study from epidemiology Professor Neil Ferguson’s team in 2021. This was a modelling study which estimated tens of millions of lives were saved. It has been soundly rebutted, e.g. by Raphael Lataster – the peer-reviewed paper is here – but is still used to try to bash independent thinkers. We understand how powerful collective groupthink can be.
There are various collections of evidence of harm, from the scholarly format such as here to the more everyman collections such as here and here (but both referencing peer-reviewed data).
Affected New Zealanders
We note that Bowel Cancer NZ has stated in their current Bowel cancer symptoms and statistics flyer that there are 350 colorectal cancers diagnosed in under 50-year-olds annually.
Below are the names and ages of 11 young New Zealanders (linked to newspaper articles) with what we presume are the sort of cancers you are referring to. With our many combined years of clinical experience, we would consider these cases highly unusual due to the age of the affected people, the stage of the cancer at diagnosis, and the aggressive nature of the cancers described. A number of these people are now dead. Although we don’t know the covid vaccination status of the people mentioned, it would be safe to assume the majority of them have had at least one c-19 genetic injection.

Bringing attention to this issue
We have written several open letters to NZ health officials updating the international science on the role of covid vaccinations in causing cancer. All our open letters may be found here.
We have written to ex-Police Commissioner Coster on concerning deaths a number of times since 2022. Also we have written to coroners, for instance here.
We and many of our members have committed varying degrees of career and financial suicide at the hands of the MCNZ from our conviction about medical ethics and jab dangers.
Clearly, ours is not a club for the faint-hearted. But neither is the fiduciary obligation we have to our patients.
Questions
Have you considered the covid injections as a potential cause of this emerging epidemic?
Have you done an audit of the covid vaccination status of your colorectal cancer patients?
Do you know why there has been no discussion of covid vaccination being potentially causal in the mainstream?
Do you have access to up-to-date cancer statistics? Health NZ has refused our OIA requests.
Are NZ pathologists commenting on, or looking for or being requested to look for, vaccine genetic sequences in cancer tissue samples? (They are showing up.)
In conclusion
We agree with you that there is a disastrous trend of increasing cancer of a more virulent nature affecting New Zealanders, especially obvious in a younger demographic.
Clearly you are experts trying to raise an alarm. Several of our members have referred patients to you both over the years and appreciate your service to them.
We implore you to examine seriously a possible cancer-causing candidate that does, if politics can be ignored, satisfy all the standard criteria for causation. One’s every impulse may be to avoid the link we raise and the implications which follow, but the facts and possibilities remain and this unfortunate experiment marches on.
We would be interested in having a conversation with either or both of you, in absolute confidence if you would prefer and look forward to your thoughts on this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Drs Matthew Shelton, Alison Goodwin and Cindy de Villiers

My 21 year old daughter finally got sent for a colonoscopy after two years of going back and forth to her Dr. He only sent her as we had health insurance. She had a massive polyp which was cancerous and had to have a part of her colon removed. Luckily, the part they removed had no cancer so we were spared being offered chemotherapy (which I know she would have agreed to). I asked my Doctor how this could happen considering she was brought up on an organic home cooked diet and doesn’t have sofa or drink coffee, Or processed food. My Doctor (now with no breasts having had them removed after breast cancer in the last year) told me, these things happen and sometimes it just skips a generation. They are walking around with blindfolds on – they don’t want to know as then they have to acknowledge their part in this.
When something is deemed safe and effective, it really means “do as you’re told and look no further unless you want to lose your income and status”
