Canterbury, NZ
DEREK CHEN reports on a case taken by heroic lawyer TUDOR CLEE: "Fresh legal action has been filed asking whether Covid vaccine requirements were a justified limit on a young person’s right to refuse medical treatment." Excellent news. The case is in the name of Ashley Beulink, the young girl, vaccine-injured at 14, whom Derek earlier reported on. Beulink suffered vaccine-induced pericarditis following her second dose in mid-February 2022. "A central question, if the High Court decides to hear the case, will be how much this information tips the balance when it comes to population health policies that limit young people’s rights, as protected in the Bill of Rights Act (Bora)." "One reason she got the jab was the exclusion she’d felt from social and sporting events because of the two-dose requirements under the vaccine pass system. "This type of impact led the Government to drop vaccine passes for school-organised gatherings – but not until mid-March 2022." "By then, tens of thousands of young people in the 12-17 age group had received a second dose since December 9, 2021, when the advice landed on the desk of Sir Ashley Bloomfield, head of the health response at the time." Bloomfield has refused all questions and interview requests about what happened to the advice after he received it." "Tudor Clee successfully represented three protesters involved in the 2022 parliamentary occupation, including Laura Cassin, whose trespass charge was thrown out after “serious mistakes” in the police prosecution."

Latest article and video - Rozanne's story. A look into IMAC and director Nikki Turner, whose husband finally published his evaluation of her clinical training programme, earlier this year. Even after the Auditor-General, in 2023, called that procurement completely inappropriate as the undeclared spousal relationship was “a potential conflict.” IMAC was advising vaccinators to NOT use certain phrases with recipients, especially those vaccine hesitant ones, who were worried about the safety of the vaccine... AVOID! “Describing risks if even to note they are small” AVOID!“Leading with safety data and facts” AVOID!“Outlining the safety and risk profile of the vaccination” ... because it was not the happy friendly vibe [narrative] they needed. Pity the evaluation didn't notice that 👫 ? Training materials ought to have encouraged vaccinators to provide full information on risk. To do otherwise is unethical and negligent. Sorry Rozanne. You, and others did not deserve this.

On 27 August 2021, Rozanne took the Covid vaccine because she would lose her livelihood if she didn’t. Days later she is in agony, with doctors dismissing it as “anxiety” or "menopause," and encouraging her to get another jab "to protect her children" [the doctor's children 🙄] The safety nets she was promised do not exist. Rozanne recalls a landmark document of significant influence on modern global bioethics: The Nuremberg Code - a 10-point statement from the 1947 Doctors’ Trial where American military tribunals prosecuted 23 leading Nazi German physicians and administrators for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Principle 1 says voluntary consent of a human subject is "absolutely essential," it must be free of "any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, constraint or coercion" and with enough information provided for an "enlightened decision." Episode coming this Sunday - Rozanne discusses how the government treated adults like children, coerced with threats, dismissed injury, and then abandoned the very people they forced to comply against their will. @TheTributeNZ #TheTributeNZ #NurembergCode #InformedConsent #BodilyAutonomy #MyBodyMyChoice #VaccineInjured #VaccineMandate

In September 2021, just one mRNA jab changed Casey Hodgkinson forever. She was only 23. Within an hour, severe symptoms hit: spasms, unbearable pain, collapse. What followed was years of agony — seizures, hospital dismissals, gaslighting, media smears and repeated ACC denials. 💡 Casey was publicly vilified by vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris from @AucklandUni and immunologist Graham Le Gros from Malaghan Institute of Medical Research who said she was a "fraud" within a @Stuff article by journalist Nathan Morton. The opinions of Helen and Graham and the Stuff article are in fact examples of the real meaning of the word #Disinformation - the 'news' report was entirely false, inaccurate and manipulated - it was deliberately published by Stuff to influence public opinion, and ... most importantly, it CAUSED HARM. Casey was harmed by the assault on her lived truth: her injury was instigated by a puncture wound to her vascular system during incorrect administration of the vaccine, leading to a cascade of other diseases. @TheTributeNZ have reached out to all of the above named individuals and the companies they work for, as well as Stuffs editoseeking a public apology for Casey. They have yet to respond. WATCH CASEY'S FULL STORY - an emotional testimony of loss, betrayal, forgiveness and hope. From a vibrant young woman to now learning to love her limited life, she shares very wise lessons, well beyond her age ... about patience, resilience, faith and never giving up when the system terribly fails you. #thetributenz #vaccineinjury #keepfightingspirit

Also, 4.3 million Kiwis received the Pfizer shot after Medsafe's JULY 2021 ALERT COMMUNICATION advising of the cardiac risk - but most New Zealanders were NEVER TOLD. These are all Crimes Against the Person under the Crimes Act: "155. Duty of persons doing dangerous acts Every one who undertakes (except in case of necessity) to administer surgical or medical treatment, or to do any other lawful act the doing of which is or may be dangerous to life, is under a legal duty to have and to use reasonable knowledge, skill, and care in doing any such act, and is criminally responsible for the consequences of omitting without lawful excuse to discharge that duty."
✋️ This story cannot be allowed to quietly disappear. More than 300,000 NZ teenagers received a second COVID shot after officials had been advised of the myocarditis risk. The questions around what was known, what young people and their parents were told, and who should be held accountable remain. So we’re keeping the story visible. On air. Online. And now, on the streets. Please read it, share it, talk about it, and help ensure the public call for answers doesn’t fade away. 📖 Read our investigation: rcr.media/blog/more-than-300… 📩 And keep across this story and more with RCR Bites: biteme.news

On the day of diagnosis, a doctor told Monique: “Yeah, it was the vaccine. This is a known side effect.” Monique was forced to take Pfizer's mRNA on 11 JUNE 2021. She was diagnosed with myo/pericarditis days later. It took Medsafe another six weeks to communicate an ALERT. However, despite Medsafe’s supposed best intentions — very few vaccinators were actioning the advice — most failed to give clear, explicit warnings [informed consent] to vaccine recipients, before or after their jab, meaning many New Zealanders were never informed of the risk. WATCH MONIQUE'S STORY youtube.com/watch?v=n2QzUzYM… ACCOUNTABILITY IS REQUIRED WE WILL REMEMBER #TheTribute #COVID19 #vaccineinjured

Monique, from Christchurch, was Injured in June 2021, In the Gap Between What Medsafe Knew & What New Zealanders Were Told Inbetween the Monitoring and ALERT Communication... 21 JULY 2021. WARNING! Myocarditis and pericarditis are known side effects of the Pfizer vaccine. But even after Medsafe alerted vaccinators to the risk, Vaccinators failed to give clear, explicit warnings to vaccine recipients, meaning most New Zealanders were never informed of the myocarditis and pericarditis risk BEFORE, and denied informed consent. Who is responsible? Those leading each DHB's vaccine roll-out for not actioning the Alert? YES. The ring-in vaccinators? YES. Ministry of Health. YES. Medsafe. YES.

WATCH the Trailer for Monique's story - Injured in the Gap Between What Medsafe Knew & What New Zealanders Were Told - Full story coming THIS SUNDAY. Monique was a fit and active 24-year-old, enjoying her new job as a health professional at an aged-care provider. She describes the internal employer mandate leading to her second damaging Pfizer dose on 11 June 2021 - two days after Medsafe published a Monitoring Communication to health professionals about the potential risk of myocarditis and pericarditis with the Pfizer vaccine. She was severely injured - eventually leading to a diagnosis of chronic recurring pericarditis, POTS and dysautonomia. “I was actually shocked to hear that, given I was not informed of the cardiac risk—despite the government knowing.” Monique was dismissed by the New Zealand health system - leading to her seeking ongoing cardiology care in Australia. THE+TRIBUTE have reached out to the Ministry of Health for comment. Please FOLLOW. Please SHARE! #thetributenz

I cannot begin to imagine what it really feels like to be the mother of a precious son, CARDIAC HARMED by Pfizer mRNA....for five long years. @KiwiAly knows and here she shares her heart, her rage, her tears and her story with NZ Minister of Health @SimeonBrownMP Nothing but nothing fuels your fight for justice, like accompanying your once healthy and strong son, to hospital....over and over again.
God that felt good to unload on them ! Sort of Cathartic really .. @HopeRising19 @nzdsos @FreedomDotKiwi all the way ! Direct Democracy the only way forward!

LISTEN to this RNZ report from 12 August 2026 saying that patients presenting to ED in New Zealand have nearly DOUBLED since 2021. "From 750,000 to 1.4million". 🙀 Over 650,000+ extra people, sick enough to search out emergency services?! This was claimed by Anne Daniels, the president of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, and an ED nurse at Dunedin Hospital. 👩‍⚕️ Daniels blames the fact people aren't able to access primary health ... and the 400 vacancies for nurses. However, she is making stuff up: 1. According to the Medical Council of New Zealand, GPs increased by 8–9% from 2021-2025: 2021: 3,787–3,835 2025: 4,081 2. Nurse vacancies were also substantially higher in 2021 than in recent years. In September 2021 there were 2,200 vacant nursing FTE across DHBs = vacancy rate of 7.8%. By June 2024 this had fallen to a vacancy rate of 4.1%. SO WHY the increase in presentations to ED???? Baffling. WILL RNZ CHECK THESE FACTS AND EXPLORE OTHER POTENTIAL REASONS? #VaccineHarm #SpikeProtein
