Another NZ Herald article by Derek Cheng, focusing on the mandated vaccination of 12-17 year old New Zealanders, and how the Director General of Health, Ashley Bloomfield, knew about the expert advice of the unnecessary risk of heart inflammation after a second dose - and did NOTHING. And is still saying NOTHING.
Nor did the flawed and biased Royal Commission ask him to explain himself. Cheng writes: "The commission, after all, didn’t ask him specifically about the advice, so his views are not in the transcripts of his interviews."
Cheng suggests what we already know, that there was no justification for the discrimination that resulted from the My Vaccine Pass on this age group, nor proper INFORMED CONSENT, and even presents legal recourse as an option:
".. whether the vaccine requirements were a justified limit on the rights of the 12-to-17 age group, in light of the advice. Could 12-17s have given informed consent for the vaccine without information the Government/ministry had, but didn’t tell them?"
"... young people needed vaccine passes – and two doses – to partake in activities such as school rowing, going to the cinema, or working in the supermarket."
"Some weren’t double-vaxxed and were excluded. Some felt coerced into having a second dose, and then got sick, rushing into emergency care when chest pain escalated."
This could apply to EVERYONE of course who was coerced, cornered, mandated, discriminated and injured under the Protection Framework's severe restrictions on the unvaccinated.
Cheng writes: "[Bloomfield's] public silence since the release of the Royal Commission of Inquiry Phase Two report suggests, at best, that he has nothing to add beyond what he’s already told the commission. At worst, it fuels speculation he has something to hide from a community who are already angry the advice was not implemented or made public at the time."
"Its revelation has been vindication and validation for many New Zealanders who didn’t want the 12-17s in their families to have two doses. Many have told the Herald how they were criticised and ostracised for taking a similar view, we now know, to the expert group."
Cheng did not mention the confirmed case of the DEATH of a 13 year old boy after the Covid shots.
