Gary Moller: New Zealand Faces Dual Crisis - Rising Excess Deaths and Declining Birth Rates

New Zealand society is quietly facing two alarming demographic trends that could have long-term consequences: a significant rise in excess deaths and a rapid decline in birth rates. Both phenomena have triggered concerns among some citizens, yet they remain largely uncommented on by the government and the media.

Dr Guy Hatchard: A Message from New Zealand for the World

There are so many new findings surfacing on pandemic effects, and some old chestnuts, that it is sometimes difficult to choose what to write about.

For example, excess deaths in New Zealand continue high. OECD figures show that counting 2023 and the first 16 weeks of 2024, mortality is 6,300 deaths above the previous trend, up 15%. 2024 is up 14% at 1300 deaths that is 81 deaths every week in our small country above the historical trend. Growth in population is entirely unable on its own to explain these alarming figures. New Zealand is not alone, highly vaccinated countries share this trend.

Suze: Why We Don’t Need a Second Royal Commission C-19 Review

My review won’t be submitted because it does not fit the Royal Commission [RC] criteria for submission and I do not believe a more comprehensive review with a new unbiased panel is justified.

Just under $74B was set aside for Covid-19 [C-19] and more than $10M was spent on the Royal Commission enquiry. It makes no sense to throw good money after bad, which is not said to demean the high personal cost paid by thousands of victims of the Labour Government’s C-19 lockdowns and mandates.

But this is the right time to move on with an avalanche of overseas studies providing data not previously available.

Professor Robert MacCulloch: Statistics shown to be wrongly estimated

Former PM Hipkins & Profs Bloomfield & Baker should be held accountable for quoting statistics that have now been shown to be wrongly estimated

Why are we still talking about Covid when many countries - like the US - have moved on? Well the US economy is currently booming and ours is stuck in the mud. The reason has emerged over time.

Peter Williams: Another look at the numbers

Can 2022's death explosion be explained by old age?

A commenter named Andrew responded to a recent post about the Barry Young data release. He had questions about the country’s crude data on deaths in 2022 and, more importantly, the death rate.

Peter Williams: Data release botched

But it's still time for some truth

It’s now a week since the whistleblower information from the man we now know to be Barry Young became public. To say that the public release was botched is an understatement.

Guy Hatchard: An Open Letter to the MPs of the New Parliament…...

What are you going to do about record levels of

excess deaths and those advising you that they

don’t matter or even exist?

Guy Hatchard: Alarming Acceleration in New Zealand Excess Deaths, Latest Official Figures Up 70% on Last Year

Our health system is collapsing, but health tsars are in complete denial, desperately trying to hide the deaths and distort the science.

For the last 90 years, we have been taught that the universe began with a Big Bang, the James Webb telescope has shown that the theory is incorrect. This is another example of the difference between scientific theory and experiment. In the final analysis theory must match experiment, if it doesn’t the theory is incorrect and must be abandoned.

Guy Hatchard: When Worlds Collide

We have arrived at a point in an election year when our votes matter, so expect some surprising replies to our emails and even some answers to our questions. BUT, if today was anything to go by, it won’t be without fireworks.

Yesterday, I fact checked David Seymour, who, in his Reality Check Radio interview, had asserted very strongly that New Zealand has had no excess deaths. I used the statistical graphical interface from the Human Mortality Database run by the University of California and the Max Planck Institute in Germany to generate charts to illustrate Seymour’s misunderstanding. This interface queried the same official data as Our World in Data referred to by David Seymour.

Guy Hatchard: Fact Check - David Seymour Says We Have No Excess Deaths. Is He Right?

David Seymour, Leader of the ACT Party, was interviewed this morning by Paul Brennan on Reality Check Radio. David said that according to the authoritative ‘Our World in Data’ global website run by Oxford University, New Zealand has had no excess deaths during the last three years of the pandemic. In other words, David thinks fewer people have died in New Zealand during the pandemic than you would expect from the historical trends. So I went to Our World in Data to fact check David. Here are the results by year.

The coroner’s inquest into the tragic death of Rory Nairn following immunisation with the Pfizer vaccine raises concerns that need to be addressed.

Let’s examine how events unfolded.

Fact Check: Are Excess Deaths in New Zealand the world’s highest or lowest?

The University of Otago publishes a blog called Public Health Expert. The 24th August edition was entitled “The Covid-19 experience in Aotearoa New Zealand and other comparable high-income jurisdictions and implications for managing the next pandemic phase“.

The authors were Dr. Jennifer Summers, Prof Nick Wilson, Dr. Lucy Telfar Barnard, Dr. Julie Bennett, Dr. Amanda Kvalsvig, and Prof Michael Baker, who all work at the Otago University Department of Public Health.
