Julie Payne had wanted to be a nurse since she was 7-years old, and from 18-years old started her three years of training, followed by a 28-year career.
Julie writes:
“I didn’t want the Pfizer mRNA vaccine.
“I had worked in the local hospital Isolation Ward, a small team of us from around the hospital volunteered (many others refused). This was prior to the vaccine being available in NZ. None of our mostly elderly patients tested positive for Covid. But they were kept in isolation! Until discharged home.
“When it was announced Nurses were mandated, I couldn’t see how I could support myself and family, so had one.. right before the deadline. I asked the Chemist for the consent form but was told there was none!!
“My arm hurt a great deal that day. 10-days post vaccine I had chest pain, tachycardia and palpitations.
“My GP wouldn’t apply for an exemption for me, didn’t send me for bloods, or ECGs, and spent a long while telling me about the horrendous things she had worked through in Oregon as the pandemic spread there!
“I didn’t have the emotional bandwidth to do the exit process so officially retired. But my Charge Nurse knew I had experienced a reaction, and asked me in the office, (but in front of another staff nurse), if I would take the second. My reply started a quite triggering reaction around my colleagues.
“Since leaving, it has been a journey of healing, speaking out, supporting others, learning to live without the shift-work demands, and discovering a community of amazing people. Financially, it has been tough!”
Early in her nursing career, Julie worked for two years in a dedicated infection control ward. She served as an endoscopy and recovery nurse in a private setting. Upon relocating to Nelson, she became ACLS certified, taught CPR to hospital staff, served as a senior Registered Nurse in the acute surgical unit, and acted as a preceptor to both staff and students.
Julie will be speaking at the Nelson event only.
Register for the “Safe & Effective” Roadshow
Registrations for the “Safe & Effective” Roadshow be made online at the Safe & Effective Roadshow website, with events being held during November in Dunedin (9th), Queenstown (11th), Nelson (13th), and Wellington (15th).
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with experts, hear testimonies, and gain insights into aspects of the pandemic response they feel were downplayed by mainstream media.
Organisers of the event advocate for the need for a compassionate, transparent dialogue about the impact of COVID-19 health policies on New Zealanders’ well-being.
The roadshow will cover a range of topics, from potential connections between vaccine side effects and sudden health issues to testimonials from medical professionals.
With a focus on supporting those seeking clarity and community, the event invites those who have experienced health challenges post-vaccination, as well as advocates for informed health choices, to participate in what organisers describe as “a journey of inquiry, knowledge, and support.”
What a journey Julie. So great to hear you didn’t get another one.
Thank you for your story Julie, so humanising.
Its hard to comprehend, all along they said safe and effective and follow the science but when it came out that the shot did not stop infection or transmission, and big pharma, the CDC, FDA, MSM had lied, I thought thats the end of it.
Wrong, the labour government carried on with the mandates and traffic light system, where was the science?.
Thankyou Julie for speaking out.
