Founderofcensoredvaccineinjury supportgroupinTakakathisSaturday

A career health practitioner whose censored social media group became the only source of support for thousands of Kiwis who had experience with Covid-19 vaccine injuries, is visiting Golden Bay this week Auckland author, naturopath and acupuncturist Lynda Wharton started The Health Forum NZ in 2021 when she realised there was nowhere to discuss concernsaboutvaccinesafety,risksandbenefits

Lynda may be of natural and alternative health ilk, but she’s nottakentheresponsibilityofholdinguptheuglytruthlightly.

“I try to bring a fairly unemotional way, the facts - and I like thedata.There’ssomuchdatatobackupwhatwassuspicious for many of us,” she says. You don’t have to go far. Medsafe stopped reporting on Covid-19 vaccine injuries in November, having reached nearly 65,000 reports - over 3,600 of those serious. Lynda’s had a close eye on pharmacovigilance data from the beginning of the international rollout, and was shockedattheoverseasdatashowingahugespikeinnumbers of injuries and unprecedented complexity of reported effects. “Cardiac, neurological disorders, immune dysfunction I’d neverseenanythinglikeitbefore,”shesays

Lynda was alarmed prior to the messaging that would blanket the New Zealand public. “Not only was the marketing pitched to everybody, irrespective of whether you were pregnant, what pre-existing conditions you had, what your age was or what your personal risk-benefit profile was … we were told it was ‘safe and effective’ I felt like I was in a Sliding Doors movie,” says Lynda “I was expecting an immunologist or somebody, anybody, to stand up and demand a nuanced conversation”

The notion of vaccine injury appears to be crazy talk to many Last edition we reported how difficult it was for people negatively affected by vaccination to lodge their reports. Free NZ journalist Liz Gunn recently interviewed adverse-affected Australian actor Barry Duffield - who says he was laughed at by his own doctor when he said he suspected dramatic chronic fatigue-like symptoms were caused by the injection Cricket magazines internationally last week reported cardiologists’ suspicion that Shane Warne’s death last year mayhavebeenvaccineharm NoneofthisisinNZmainstream media acontinuationofcensorshipinthesameveinthatsaw Facebook scrub Lynda’s support group early last year, without warningorreason,afterninemonthsofexistence

“Before that we were getting up to 2000 comments on posts from people who had stories to share about vaccine harm. We’d have to turn the commenting off because it was too overwhelming to moderate” The Health Forum garnered 58,000 followers seeking and providing comfort and support beforeitsabruptremoval.

Lynda is wintering at the top of the south on a mission to restore balance to her life “It was probably the most exhausting thing I’ve ever done, but so richly rewarding. The gratitude, the kindness, was such a beautiful gift.” ~Samantha Blanchard

Lynda’s experience as a naturopath and her research on the adverse effects of the injection means she also knows about the solutions. She’ll be at the Village Green this Saturday 10-1 to answer questions. www.thehealthforumnz.co,nz

“If we become more peaceful and harmonious inside, by working on ourselves - then that ripples out when we communicate We can inspire people I think of people who’ve come from that place, like Ghandi,” …who said: be the change youwishtoseeintheworld

The GB Thinker has highlighted several issues during its lifetime that may pin the blame on politicians or authorities out of our reach. But the inspiration of this story is that the only real change we have control over is that which we make to ourselves, and how we build a life around that. Are you approaching your lifefromaplaceofloveandpeace?Oraresomeofyourdecisions made from fear or disharmony? What would it mean to cultivate more mindfulness about where your actions come from?

“Peace comes from a changed attitude.

At the bottom of the war mentality that casts the world into a drama of enemies and threats lies a debased view of human nature. When you see human beings as fundamentally selfish and all nations as fundamentally evil, then all you have available to change their behaviour is threats and bribes. Peace comes from a different place: it starts by seeing within others, and within ourselves that which is not selfish, but is brave, and generous and idealistic, and has good intentions.

And I’m not saying that we should ignore the base elements of human nature or the dangers of the world… but if that’s all that we see, then we are going to be stuck forever in the mentality of war, and that’s what the Military Industrial Complex wants. ”

USA Presidential Candidate RFK Jr, Peace and Diplomacy speech, 20 June 2023

Truth-seekers have every reason to be suspicious of the agenda behind “co-governance”. It’s hard, however,toagreewithalltheassertionsmadeby the“StopCo-governancemovement”ledbyJulian Batchelor I’m not convinced his analysis of Te Tiriti is entirely accurate, but it’s too complex to addresshere.

I’m concerned about the extent to which Batchelor’s ideas appeal to people who already seem biased against Maori Some seem to think Maorirepresentativeswillinglygaveawayalltheir power by signing Te Tiriti, which I very much doubt OthersareaversetoMaoribeinganofficial languageandreversiontoMaorinamesforplaces and birds Rodney Hide even suggests Maori are considerablybetteroffasaresultofcolonisation

ThereismorethanahintofEurocentricityhere

After colonisation Maori lost much traditional knowledge(includingthatoftraditionalmedicine), land and traditional food sources, suffered from noveldiseases,amajordeclineinlifeexpectancy, andwar,anddeclinedtosuchlownumbersitwas fearedthey,oratleasttheirculture,wouldvanish

Economic and social pressure forced many Maori into urban areas after WWII, severing bonds between whanau. Maori children were severely punished for using their language at school until the 1960s These and other impacts of colonisation led to inter-generational trauma that continues to disadvantage many Maori today I’m sure “mistakes were made on both sides” but I doubtthemajorityoftheblamelieswithMaori

IacceptBatchelor’srighttoexpresshisviewsand will consider them with an open mind I urge truth-seekers not to completely dismiss all Maori grievances and efforts to address them If they’re not also willing to be open minded, perhaps it’s time they reverted to calling tuis parson birds.
