If McKernan's data were anonymized then what is the problem? We know that the New Zealand health bureaucrats are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In New Zealand, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of the New Zealand Ministry of Health. (Thanks to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)

Thank you. Solzhenitsyn's insights from his experience in the USSR are very generalizable to the Western public health bureaucracies of today.

similar levels of hubris, hypocrisy and the non-logic spinning of reality (Kafka, anyone?)

It all started with captured mainstream media and it will only end if they will once again became the 4th estate and do indpenedent reporting. MoH NZ doesn't give a fuck about all of us telling the truth because they know that the vast majority of NZers has no clue what is going on. As long the NZ mainstrem media supports them, they are invincible and won't change a thing. The new government is also at the mercy of the captured media and plays along. Free press is the key issure here. The vast majority of people know that things are corrupt but they still don't suffer enough to move their fat arses away from the six o'clock news and find out what's really going on. By the time they do, it is probably too late.

Nice, and I agree that an NZ authority is indeed actiog outside their remit to affect a third party outside its region. But then, the service provider removing the data from a US based client has also very likely overstepped their legal capacity also. Lockstep illegality at its worst...

Thank you, Rebekah, for reporting this. I have seen a few other places that are reporting the news about New Zealand's 11,005 SECRET exemptions to the covid vaccine. I think the exemptions are a very important part of the whole story.

I have some questions / comments for the people in New Zealand who did this:

1. New Zealand is a very small country with a population of around 5 million. 11,0005 represents a large proportion of people in government or at the highest levels of the health department.

2. Why were the exemptions secret? If they were so proud of what they were doing, why keep it secret?

3. Why did they grant secret exemptions at the same time that they forced other people to take the jabs on pain of losing their jobs and losing the right to go to ordinary places like a public library, public swimming pool, a restaurant, or a clothing shop?

4. Who got the exemptions? Were they politicians who at the same time were forcing them on everyone else through force of law and public shaming? Were they medical people who knew that the jabs could have negative side effects? Did they give themselves and their families exemptions?

And possibly most important,

5. Are they ashamed of themselves?

6. And are they going to try something similar again?

Sorry about the typo in the numbers - it's 11,005!

OMG in the linked article, the Kiwi head of Health actually had the balls to say, "Rates are going up, we are seeing hospitalisations so we really want to keep promoting to New Zealanders who are eligible for Covid boosters to get them."

I don't even think on Substack I should state out loud what I want to happen to people like her.

Excellent story. Imho they need wikileaks. Give data to wikileaks and store on server in iceland which has robust protections. It saddens me that the discussion is moved to the censorship instead of the revelations, NZ govt has changed the subject, and this is what the Censorship Industrial Complex truly means - the smothering of information from whistlwblowers that is in the public interest. Corporations are now the extension of the coercive power of the state with "Terms of service" acting as an extrajudicial system of punishment and unpersoning.

“They” have been thoroughly outed 💪💪💪

They’re response was so over the top as to wake 🐑

They cannot turn this around now 💥💥💥

This is the catalyst for world investigations and we the people asking hard questions of public servants 👊

(Great reporting)

Thanks for the info, I did not know that, thought it was still owned by Kim. Learn something new every day.

I asked him when the takeover happened, but got no response.

My guess is it's been like that for a while, and I wonder - suspiciously - why he hasn't mentioned it before this incident... Suspicious IMO.

I was wondering about that. Now it makes sense.

I bet every scientist is busy backing up data like crazy, anywhere but online. Data for Court cases? Wow! Kevin's response is extremely gracious while hard hitting in the circumstances imo.

The exact reason not to use cloud services (someone else's storage system).

Medical and bureaucratic tyranny will not cease in New Zealand until the miscreants are physically removed and arrested from any further degradations of ethics, humanity and science. It's very simple really. They will not stop until they are stopped; after all, what else can they do?
