Deaths up 14%, natural live births down 28%, Disability up 37.5% – NZ official birth and death figures for 12 months to the end of June 2023 released

Stats NZ released the official figures for births and deaths for the period 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023 today.

The short summary accompanying the release of the horrifying figures compares these to the previous 12 months and reports increases in deaths and reductions in live births. 2022/23 figures would have best been compared to the July 2018 to June 2019 totals, the first available pre-pandemic period. We report this comparison below.

There were 38,442 deaths among all ages for July 2022-June 2023 compared to 33,753 deaths in the 2018/19 comparable period. This is an increase of 4,689 deaths (up 14%) which occurred at a rate of 90 excess deaths per week.

Working age people were also affected. Deaths among 15 to 64 year olds were up by 6%. Figures released by the Household Labour Force Survey reports rates of disability sufficient to preclude joining the workforce among this age group has increased by 37.5% over the same period and now stands at 14.3% of the workforce. That is huge. Why?

Alarmingly, natural live births fell from 26,500 in 2018/19 to 19,185 in 2022/23 a decrease of 7,400 or 28%. This is an absolutely unprecedented drop. Nothing even remotely like this has been recorded previously.

Covid deaths over this whole period reported by Our World in Data appear insufficient to explain the increase in deaths. Nor is an ageing population sufficient explanation for the figures that is a long term gradual trend, this is a sudden rise.

We have been aware of data like this for some time now, but there has been deafening silence from our politicians who are currently running for re-election. We are heading into this election under unusual and coercive constraints that have no precedent in our history as a nation. 

Due to the events of the last three years, the machinery of government has assumed more control over our medical and food choices. The concerning birth and death figures must be regarded as a verdict on policies which have enjoyed cross party support. 

As a result of government policies, we have lost many of our rights as NZ citizens. None of the parties currently elected to Parliament have any plans to revoke this government overreach. So what has gone wrong and how will this affect us if we re-elect the same group of political parties to power?

Pandemic policies have established a precedent allowing the government to enforce compliance with its medical rules. They coerced almost everyone to take specific injections with high rates of adverse effects. Restrictions on social movement and communication have been normalised. Agreements with social media providers and the mainstream press have censored the availability of independent information and hampered scientific dialogue. Access to official public health data has been limited.

The government has also passed the Therapeutic Products Bill which has legitimised the substitution of thousands of natural ingredients with untested synthetic alternatives without requirements for clear labelling. The Bill also facilitates dose restrictions and banning of many traditional herbal products and supplements at the whim of a government bureaucrat.

The government has authorised the addition of chemical fluorides to public water supplies. It has mandated the addition of chemical supplements to staple foods including a synthetic form of folic acid to flour which is hard to metabolise and inhibits some metabolic pathways vital for health.

Re-electing sitting members of parliament from any party is a prescription for more of the same. Our current politicians are refusing to face up to some hard facts. We are in the midst of a medical emergency of unprecedented proportions. Our hospitals are overwhelmed, our politicians are silent. 

Unbelievably, our politicians and medical tsars continue to ignore accumulating evidence being published in learned science journals pointing to adverse effects of mRNA vaccines. Despite this, the government is still funding advertising encouraging the population to receive further booster injections. They don’t work and they endanger health.

There are no plans to investigate what has gone wrong. It is time to say goodbye to 120 MPs from across the political spectrum who have spectacularly failed our nation in its hour of need. If they are re-elected our ability to manage our own health choices will be gone for good.

The judgement on their competence is there in black and white from their own statistics—deaths are up 14% and net live birth increase down 28%. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know where this is going. Mistakes were made, and now they cannot be hidden or denied any longer. Some hard questions must be asked and answered. 

Our media is compliant and lazy in a coverup. They have enjoyed government support. 

None of this is in the character of our nation or in its history. It is time to wake up.
