Dr Guy Hatchard: What Kiwis Need to Do to Avoid the GMOs Invading Our Supermarkets

After the bombshell information in our last two releases (see here and here) everyone has to consider their position very carefully. We reported the results of a recent study which has revealed that most of the processed foods in our New Zealand supermarkets (and in fact around the world) now inevitably contain residues of Genetically Modified Microorganisms (GMMs) and processing agents, including antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Dr Guy Hatchard: The Extraordinary Genetically Modified Invasion of Our Supermarkets by Stealth

Major Health Alert: the Extraordinary Genetically Modified Invasion of Our Supermarkets by Stealth

Many of you have written and asked about the current prevalence of genetically modified foods and the potential health risks. An up to date answer to this question comes as a huge surprise even to the team at the Hatchard Report. Today’s article lists the affected products, and discusses the history and industry pressure which created a regulatory framework lax enough to allow the genetic engineering of the preparation and content of most supermarket foods.

Dr Guy Hatchard: The Gene Technology Bill Will Allow Gene Edited Microorganisms to Be Labelled as Natural

… and Sold to an Unwitting Public.

Last chance to have your say. Submissions close on Monday 17th February

A year ago Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate co-inventor of CRISPR gene editing technology announced a ground breaking project to edit human and animal microbiomes in the gut, promising to cure diseases like asthma and Alzheimer’s and also ameliorate climate change (???) by altering the metabolic processes of animals and humans. Now today the NZ government is proposing to deregulate such biotechnology experimentation including gene editing of microorganisms.

Dr Guy Hatchard: The New Zealand Pandemic Experience Offers a Lesson for the World

… but Not the One Our Government is Busy Promoting

The New Zealand pandemic experience potentially offers huge lessons for the world because our population was vaccinated BEFORE COVID-19 infection took hold. This was because our borders were rigidly controlled during 2020/21 and any break out infections were rapidly tracked down and isolated. This means the effect of Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccination can be studied in New Zealand in isolation from any confounding factor of COVID-19 infection. Moreover, as a result of our border policy, New Zealand largely avoided the more severe Alpha and Delta strains.

Dr Guy Hatchard: How Biotechnology Threatens to Distort Human Behaviour and Undermine Well Being

We have arrived at the crossroads of our lifetime

There is little doubt in anyone’s mind that we are at a crossroads. New Zealand legislation is in progress to deregulate biotechnology experimentation. If passed, the general public will become guinea pigs in a raft of diverse projects. Unlabelled gene edited foods will fill our plates and affect our gut unannounced.

Dr Guy Hatchard: New Data Sheds Light on a Cancer Epidemic That is Being Covered Up

In the 1980s, I bought a Casio handheld programmable calculator and amused myself writing routines that solved algebraic equations, but I soon realised that calculators turn off the thinking process.

The ubiquitous use of calculators in schools has since created generations of mathematically deficient graduates.

Dr Guy Hatchard: Gene Technology Bill.....

The Big Debate: How Many New Doctors Will NZ Need if the Gene Technology Bill is Passed?

Currently, there are 19,350 doctors in New Zealand; that’s one for every 264 people. According to Hon. Judith Collins, our Minister for Business Innovation and Enterprise (MBIE), we are all going to live longer and enjoy better health as a result of the massive deregulation contained in the Gene Technology Bill.

In this article, we are going to examine this claim very carefully. If passed, the Bill will change New Zealand irrevocably, we need a deep dive and a proper debate.

Meta Are Still Fact Checking in New Zealand and the Gene Technology Bill is on Their Radar

Judith Collins is promising us an economic miracle if only she can deregulate biotechnology. According to Collins, gene technology research using CRISPR will be a money spinner. She is absolutely right, but it won’t benefit New Zealand.

Dr Guy Hatchard: The Gene Technology Bill Contains a Covert Assault on Our Kiwi Culture

Anyone living in New Zealand today will be aware of how much we, as individuals and as a people, value our identity and cultural values. We know from our everyday acquaintances, colleagues, family members or whanau that we must maintain respect for individual preferences and ideas. We have always known from the beginning that we need the space to live as we believe. This has been a vital part of Kiwi life stretching back to our forebears.

Dr Guy Hatchard: Waking Up From the Dream of Biotechnology

Deep in a dream, our quiet consciousness suddenly realises that it is no longer a dream but has become a nightmare. The inner voice screams ‘wake up’ which is the only way out.

The dream of biotechnology is a new age of health, happiness and human achievement. James Watson, who discovered the double helix structure of DNA 70 years ago, was full of hope:

The Gene Technology Bill Has Exposed a Knowledge Deficit at the Heart of the NZ Parliamentary Process


Yesterday, the discovery of a oriental fruit fly in Auckland caused a panic and a ban on the movement of fruit and vegetables. Biosecurity New Zealand said that “if the insect was to establish itself in the country, the horticulture industry would suffer massive economic costs”. At the ultimate core of the problem is the particular genetic makeup of this foreign fruit fly, yet somehow, the New Zealand government thinks that deregulating biotechnology experimentation is a very good idea. Good luck with that.

Dr Guy Hatchard: Submission Template - The Gene Technology Bill

Alarming Developments in Australia Following Their Gene Deregulation

Dr Guy Hatchard: Major Alert - New Zealand Government is Enshrining ‘Medical Mandates’ in Law

There is a revolution in progress, and it is not a bloodless revolution.

The Gene Technology Bill introduced to Parliament this week includes the following provisions:—

Dr Guy Hatchard: The Risks of Biotechnology Deregulation are Unquantifiable

The Gene Technology Bill currently being introduced into the New Zealand parliament and fast tracked will allow for the appointment of a regulator to categorise gene edited products by risk.

The bill has already deemed a wide range of gene editing techniques as ‘low risk’ which will be proceeded, released into the environment, put into food or used in medicine without labelling, warnings or safety monitoring. In effect this will turn New Zealand into a laboratory for largely unfettered gene experimentation leaving the public at the sharp end of risk. So what are the risks and how do you assess them when it comes to gene editing?

Dr Guy Hatchard: The Truth Will Out

For millennia humankind has been plagued by a succession of people and groups who thought they knew the secret of life. Their views have been forced on populations often with the threat or actuality of violence. This is still going on today but with a new twist. The biotechnology paradigm has attained cult status as the secret of immortality, but it is actually killing people.

Dr Guy Hatchard: Coming to the Breakfast Table Unannounced

Governments don’t mind exposing people to health risks as long as it appears they are doing something about climate change (even if they aren’t)

The New Zealand Government is deregulating biotechnology. As we have previously reported, the PR logic (if you can call it that) underpinning their bold (idiotic?) move says:

Dr Guy Hatchard: One Can’t Escape the Truth

A message for Dr Shane Reti, Minister of Health, PM Chris Luxon and Judith Collins, Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation.

Hopefully we are starting to move on from repeated articles reporting sudden tragic illnesses and even deaths without explanation or reflection like “Community rallies after teen dies while warming up for touch rugby game” or unprecedented health statistics like “Why old, sick and workless Britain is getting closer to breaking point“, to those like this one “Ellie was the ‘happiest she’d ever been’ until she lined up for her Covid vaccines. Now she’s living a nightmare – and doctors agree the jabs are to blame“.

Dr Guy Hatchard: A Door is Starting to Open to Discuss Our Devastating Public Health Data

We receive snippets of information from time to time and it now appears there are cracks developing in the solid wall of New Zealand COVID-19 vaccine defences. Some frontline medical staff are confronting the obvious.
