Health Forum NZ, VFF, and NZDSOS attend COVID Inquiry

Covid Inquiry news

Day 4 of the Royal Commission into the COVID‑19 response saw key figures presenting concerns over the rapid rollout and risks of COVID “vaccines”, and government overreach.

The Inquiry heard from representatives of the Health Forum NZ, Voices For Freedom, and New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science. Speakers included:

  • Lynda Wharton from the Health Forum NZ
  • Alia Bland, Claire Deeks, Katie Ashby-Koppens (VFF)
  • Dr. Matt Shelton and Dr. Alison Goodwin (NZDSOS)

Speakers raised questions about vaccine safety, transparency, and the impact of government mandates. They questioned the speed of the vaccine rollout, the level of public access to safety data, and the suppression of alternative medical perspectives and early treatments. The emotional and social consequences experienced by those who felt coerced or excluded were highlighted due to their personal health choices and called for a more open, inclusive approach to public health that respects informed consent, dissenting views, and free expression in the future.

Presentations were livestreamed throughout the day, with recordings being made available at the end of the hearings. Full recordings can also be found now on X, by Coronavirus Plushie.

  1. So grateful for Lynda, Alia, Claire, Katie. Dr Goodwin and Dr Shelton.

    What an emotional day hearing what we’ve all been screaming these past few years, put on official record.

    Whether anyone will actually be held accountable is another story.

  2. I took time today to watch Dr Goodwin and Dr Shelton speaking at the Covid Inquiry.
    I was so very, very impressed. Articulate, professional and so incredibly well prepared.
    The issues addressed were those that many are eagerly awaiting answers.
    Thank you both, for your courage, your perseverance, honesty and integrity.
    Just maybe, the hard questions may be answered……we have waited a very long time!

  3. Watched this live. Very powerful. Incredible people. I am speechless really as to their integrity, personal dedication and contribution, and the sacrifice of their time. They have endured ridicule and intense criticism and pressure has been put on them by the government, media and those like the “disinformation project” (who were the biggest purporters of it funnily enough lol).

    So from little old me, thank you to these wonderful people. You helped me remain sane and helped me know I was not alone, I will forever be truly grateful for your unwavering dedication and integrity. THANK YOU 🙏

    As a side note, I continued watching late into the afternoon and am now sure I know what a real cooker is after watching that woman who helped set up a charity which then received $10,000 from internet NZ and $50,000 from the dept of PMs office to try and shut down people like NZDSOS and VFF. She had absolutely no facts of anything. Looked like a bitter paid off socialist in my opinion. A real crackpot. Then we were treated to another person who came across as a professional socialist who again was skant on fact and detail (just a lot of claims that even I as a real Joe average could easily discredit in minutes with tangible scientific papers and facts). I am pleased they were put up though because comparing them with the likes of NZDSOS, Lynda Wharton and VFF just showed how great the divide was between actual science and fact, and bought and paid for ‘science’ (in my opinion).

    I would expect Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins and Ashley Bloomfield to ALL be summoned to speak. Let’s see how credible those commissioners actually are. We are watching and waiting…..

    • Absolutely agree with letting both sides speak, and to be able to compare how factual each side is. You are right, it is easy to see the comparisons when put side by side. You do not even need to be a critical thinker to work out who is prepared to back up words with facts.

      It was early on in all of this that I decided which side I would reside on. If I was wrong, and that was a very big IF, I would be in the company of honest, morally upstanding individuals, both here in NZ and abroad.

      I am grateful to these strong, honest and integrity driven individuals for their time and personal sacrifice .

    • The cooker referred to above is from FACT Aotearoa, and also quoted above, received $50,000 from the Prime Minister’s Office for its activities. If this is true then an investigation should be commenced as to what monies from the taxpayer were used to finance the PM’s pet projects. However hell will freeze over before that would happen.

      • I agree, we need to ask who was paid money during Covid for these sorts of purposes amd do a deep dive into the charities register to see what other corrupt rorts can be exposed.

  4. Just also wanted to shout out to Daily Telegraph NZ for platforming all of this. Thank you – you are my go to news source 👍

  5. Also DT as I am not on Twitter, is it possible to have the links for Lynda Whartons presentation and also the full VFF one?

    Thank you so much!😊

    • Chris Hipkins knows he is in the twilight of his political career.

      Here’s a question for you. Does Hipkins think his comment “ conspiracy theory” gains him more votes or less votes?

      It is not for him to discredit the royal commission. It is for him to answer for his actions. To have his lies revealed. To have his credibility demolished.

      Hipkins is going to be rolled 6 months out from the next election. Unsure which monkey is next. Likely a female to capture blind imaginations of the stupid generation of all time.

      Just like Ardern, Hipkins knighthood will never be recognised as legitimate. All it does is devalued the honor who have real achievements.

      People are poor, people are sick, people are dead because of Hipkins. It is not a conspiracy.. It is fact.

  6. Funny how reporting on the inquiry and live feeds were non-existant on RNZ and the herald, where they were on every other day.

    Thanks to everyone of you that submitted today. Loved your ‘what does good look like response” Claire

  7. I want to know who got the exemptions??? And why bloomers lied about the number of exemptions given? These idiots asking questions to our amazing and knowledgeable freedom fighters have absolutely no intention of understanding – all paid off goons maybe by jabby chippy and bloomers or who huh? Everyone knows they ALL lied to fill their pockets, money before people. As we know karma is an awesome biatch 😁

    • She is hiding in the US. Without any doubt, I bet she is watching the Royal Commission of Inquiry like a worried little murderer with genocide charges on her mind.

      Winston Peters, like him or hate him, he has designed this and set it up.

  8. Well done indeed to NZDSOS, VFF and Lynda Wharton.

    Personally I also very much enjoyed the hilariously confused lunacy of the unkempt rat-lady from FACT Aeoteroa.

    Another spectacular PR own goal from the indoctrinated retarded ‘progressive’ lefty woke moron brigade.

    • It was indeed hilarious- I did a little research on her – a former teacher by the looks – colour me surprised. Aa if we needed another good reason to homeschool children! 🤣

      Unkempt rat lady – did you mean cat lady? Either is accurate 🤣🤣🤣 and both cats and rats carry toxoplasmosis…….sooooo 🤣
