Critique of the Official New Zealand Covid Response with a Focus on the Use of Vaccines: What the Evidence Says
382-Page Scientific and Ethical Analysis of New Zealand’s Covid-19 Response
NZDSOS submission presented to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid-19 Lessons Learned (RCI) | 4 June 2025
Full Evidence Document Now Available
Comprehensive 382-page report documenting systemic failures in vaccine safety monitoring, medical ethics violations, and suppression of alternative treatments
Executive Overview
This document presents compelling evidence that New Zealand’s covid-19 response caused more harm than good. With an infection fatality rate of approximately 0.15% (comparable to moderate influenza seasons), the document argues that the government’s response to covid-19 – particularly regarding mRNA vaccines – was unnecessary, violated fundamental principles of medical ethics and caused significant preventable harm to thousands of New Zealanders.
Critical Findings
Excess Deaths: Thousands of excess deaths since 2021 correlate with vaccine rollout timing, raising serious questions about the claimed safety profile of mRNA interventions.
Core Evidence Areas
Vaccine Safety Failures: Myocarditis rates as high as 1 in 35 in young males, with systemic spike protein toxicity documented in peer-reviewed literature
Pharmacovigilance Breakdown: CARM system captures only a proportion of adverse events, with no certainty of causality assessments being done, PVSC asked and reported on wrong questions
Ethical Violations: Mandates and coercion breached informed consent principles, Nuremberg Code, and NZ Bill of Rights
Treatment Suppression: Effective early treatments such as ivermectin systematically suppressed to prioritise vaccine uptake
Professional Persecution: Medical Council investigations and suspensions targeted doctors questioning official narratives
Pregnancy Risks: Vaccination during pregnancy termed “reckless and immoral” due to insufficient safety data and emerging reports of harm

Scientific Evidence Documentation
Cardiac Safety Concerns
CARM system captured only approximately 5% of adverse events, with many being told their symptoms were ‘anxiety’ and/or nothing to do with the vaccine.
Spike Protein Toxicity
Peer-reviewed papers documenting “spikeopathy” – how vaccine-produced spike proteins cause vascular damage, thrombosis, and immune system dysfunction.
DNA Contamination
Recent findings of SV40 promoter sequences in vaccines raising concerns about genomic integration and potential cancer risks.
Global Adverse Event Data
VAERS and EudraVigilance reporting unprecedented adverse events including neurological conditions and acute kidney injuries.
Pregnancy and Fertility
20% miscarriage rates in some vaccinated cohorts, with no long-term safety data for pregnant women or their offspring who were excluded from initial trials.
Treatment Suppression
Documented suppression of ivermectin and other early treatments despite observational and overseas success, prioritising vaccine-only approach.
Royal Commission Evidence Context
This evidence package was formally presented to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid-19 Lessons Learned on 4 June 2025. The Commission, established by the New Zealand government, is tasked with examining the country’s pandemic response to identify lessons for future health emergencies. This publication represents one of the most comprehensive challenges to the official narrative presented to any New Zealand government inquiry.
Pharmacovigilance System Failures
Dr Goodwin’s analysis reveals systematic failures in New Zealand’s drug safety monitoring:
Massive Underreporting
CARM system captured only approximately 5% of adverse events, with many being told their symptoms were ‘anxiety’ and/or nothing to do with the vaccine.
Ignored Risk Signals
Risk Management Plans identified much Missing Information but these people were particularly targeted by government messaging e.g. those with autoimmune conditions, pregnant women.
Regulatory Failures
Provisional consent granted despite incomplete data, with Medsafe being 85% industry-funded, creating inherent conflicts of interest.
Citizens’ Database
The Health Forum’s independent database which has recorded harms systematically ignored by officials, including deaths, menstrual changes, and neurological conditions etc.
Medical Ethics Violations
The document extensively details breaches of fundamental medical ethics principles:
Ethical Code Violations
Informed Consent: Public misled about 0.84% absolute risk reduction and experimental nature of mRNA technology
Nuremberg Code: Mandates constituted coercion for medical experiments without valid informed consent
NZ Bill of Rights: Vaccine passports and employment mandates violated fundamental freedoms
Professional Persecution: Medical Council investigations targeting doctors who questioned official narratives or prescribed effective alternative treatments
Frontline Clinical Evidence
Dr Sandford’s section provides real-world clinical observations that contradict official safety claims:
Clinical Case Studies
Documented cases include young patients with post-vaccination strokes, heart conditions, renal failure, and neurological issues. Midwives reported increased stillbirths and neonatal complications, while ACC injury claims faced systematic obstruction.
Key Recommendations
Immediate Actions
Halt all mRNA vaccine programmes and investigate the excess deaths since 2021, as well as DNA contamination concerns.
Independent Investigations
Reform Medsafe, Medical Council, and ACC systems with independent oversight free from industry influence.
Treatment Access
Restore access to early treatments like ivermectin and support vaccine-injured patients through streamlined compensation.
Sovereignty Protection
Reject WHO International Health Regulation amendments that could override national health sovereignty in any future perceived ‘pandemics’.
The evidence is supported by over 300 peer-reviewed references from prestigious journals including The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, and Nature. Global adverse event databases (VAERS, EudraVigilance) and official New Zealand data (OIA responses, government documents etc.) provide the evidentiary foundation.
