New Official Information Act (OIA) disclosures obtained by the NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party’s Aly Cook have exposed a high-level effort to scrub vaccine safety information from public communications.
Internal documents reveal that an informal group of senior Cabinet members, referred to as the “Vaccine Ministers,” were central to the decision to remove references to myocarditis risks just days before New Zealand’s 2021 Delta lockdown.
The Redaction Order: August 17th Meeting
A critical piece of evidence is the record of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meeting on August 17, 2021. Section 6.0 of the meeting notes, titled “Myocarditis after Pfizer Vaccination,” contains a directive that compromised public transparency:
“It was requested that references to increasing dosing intervals potentially providing some protection against myocarditis be removed from communications. This has been actioned.”
Reducing the risk of heart inflammation (myocarditis) in the 12–17 age group—was intentionally omitted from public messaging.
Who Were the “Vaccine Ministers”?
The term “Vaccine Ministers” was an informal designation used by the Ministry of Health and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) to describe the COVID-19 Ministerial Group. This ad-hoc group was delegated the power to make rapid-fire decisions on the rollout, often bypassing the slower, more transparent processes of full Cabinet committees.
As of August 2021, the “Vaccine Ministers” group consisted of:
- Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern (Prime Minister)
- Hon Chris Hipkins (Minister for COVID-19 Response)
- Hon Andrew Little (Minister of Health)
- Hon Grant Robertson (Finance Minister)
- Hon Dr. Ayesha Verrall (Associate Minister of Health)
- Hon Peeni Henare (Associate Minister of Health)
Warnings for the Under-30s and 12-17s Ignored
The OIA paper trail shows that the risks for young people were well-known to officials before the public was informed. On August 1, 2021, Chief Science Advisor Dr. Ian Town alerted Ashley Bloomfield that Australian advisors (ATAGI) were already considering limiting to one dose for those under 30 due to myocarditis concerns.
Despite this, following a “Vaccine Ministers zoom meeting” on August 13th, the directive was given to “remove or re-word” these safety justifications in the 12–17-year-old rollout plan.
The Personal Motivation Behind the Investigation
“This investigation is about the thousands of young New Zealanders who were denied the right to informed consent,” says Aly Cook of the NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party. “My son, Bailey, is among those who have suffered long-term from vaccine-induced pericarditis—a condition recognized by ACC, but one he still battles four years later. Knowing that politicians were meeting on Zoom to redact the very safety information that could have protected him is devastating.”

“Ignoring the Science”
The NZ Outdoors & Freedom Party contends that the “Vaccine Ministers” prioritised a seamless rollout over the safety of young New Zealanders. “They repeatedly told the public to ‘follow the science,’ but these documents show they were actively editing the science when it became inconvenient, going to the extent of hiding information from the public” says Cook.
The party is now demanding the full Zoom recording and transcript of the August 13th meeting to identify which specific cabinet member or official issued the request to redact the safety data and redact their decision to do so from OIAs.

We will remember them, and all those others (we know) at this decision level to carry out a democide on we the people.
We will never forget.
We will never forgive.
Hell hath no fury like mothers scorned.
When are we going to see a proper police investigation, because you know what, until we do these party’s and the police have ZERO credibility, in my eyes. Hopefully other New Zealanders feel the same way. The evidence is piling up but nothing is happening.
Totally agree, there is no other way to describe criminal activity on a massive scale, The police are pathetic.

This was bloody infuriating hearing that they removed this advice and people still believe they did a great job🙄.
Arrests, charges, prosecutions, sentencing, JAIL. End of fkn story.
Dead right.
Soon as Possible…. if we don’t get them now, they will attempt this again… and clonal antibodies in the US were shown to cure so called covid yet it too was shut down because the emergency authorisation would not be able to be used to force this poison on us… a local lady was found dead in her bed 4 days after her !ST SHOT…. it killed her… she felt unwell immediately after but was sent home, no further follow up… autopsy showed massive clots in her heart and lungs… this was in a 40 year old woman… so it wasn’t just a side effect for the young…it killed many many people and I believe they knew that too… many others are damaged in many many ways… and yet not one politician is willing to come out with this… the lawsuits should START NOw
Foul.
Send them all to prison
Murderers the whole lot of them! Every single one of you in the government!!! funny how you were all exempt – sick mthafkers!
Yes, they were all exempt and so were over 100 doctors in Northland alone..they all knew this was poison… this should open the eyes to the reality of what doctors are capable of… they would murder… and go against their so called oath..First do no harm….
I have the original health NZ document that was subsequently removed from their site that stated as fact that transmission between vaccinated and non-vaccination posed the same risk. For all those people that were terminated for non-vaccination – NZ owes you big time and those that sought to pervert the truth – there should be consequences.
They should back pay all of us who stood firm and subsequently terminated. They are bastards.
pervert the truth?
U can’t possibly be talking about jurisprudence in NZ?
Hi Ragenthecage, Can you e-mail me the document you mention. chubchubs2017@gmail.com
Thanks

So what. The vast majority wanted the vaccination, and got what they wanted.
I didn’t trust the Government rigime, and read or learned about possible side effect of heart attack at the time.
There was a lot of mis information at the time suggesting covids severity, and potential secondary disease outcomes. Myocarditis being one of them. I recall suggestions at the time, claiming covid infection, INCREASED the risk of myocarditis, among other ailements.
From what I can read, the Goverment removed a suggestion that increased dosing intervals possibly DECREASES risk of myocarditis.
The overwhelming claims by the “Experts” was that covid infection could kill you. The mechanism of that kill, was not adequately explained.
So what, the population got conned into taking experimental medication, which trials suggested did increase the risk of myocarditis. When, in actuality the messaging, was that covid increased the risk of myocarditis.
To date, i would say almost everyone in the world (jabbed & not) has been infected with covid. Studies of disease & death rates, (jabbed vs not), are not redily availiable. Though, countries that have low vaccination rates, are showing much lower increases in all cause mortality. Where as highly vaccinated countries (like NZ/Aus) are experiencing 15% increase in all cause mortality, compared to the time prior introduction of covid and the vaccination.
So sad,these were our children 😢
anyone to be held accountable, ANYONE ?
Nope. This should be bombshell news, but absolutely nothing from the corrupt, complicit mass scum media.
Thats why they are still getting the media welfare payment from Hipkins.
Hipkins said he was taking advice from ‘Experts in the field’ if they were not taking advice the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) who were the ‘experts’ that they were taking advice from? Pfizer? the FDA? the CDC? who?
This is outrageous! Why????
High crimes by lowlife crims
What amazes me is how God’s so called Chosen People were selected First for the Devil shot ☠️

Come on people time for parliament to be cleaned out of these ego driven idiots they don’t listen to the people any more they just obey their puppet masters NZ is going down big time if labour or National get back in time to change think of children and grandchildren what kind of life will they have ahead of them.
You are correct… people must be made aware of who else is there to vote for… if we keep mainstream political parties in power, we will keep being shat on like they have been doing for a long time…Outdoors Freedom party or NZ Loyal… possibly with those 2 in total control. we can change the course of this country..and THAT would be world leading..really big…
Hard to believe Hipkins is still running for office. Supose he hasn’t achieved his corporate blood money reward for speaking at universities like Ardern did.
Voting left is allowing further poison to be injected into us.
It will be interesting to see just how people will react to mandatory injections of known substances that cause harm and death. This time around the people won’t be caught so unaware. I expect open defiance against lockdown and near complete rejection of any and all policies requiring injections.
Throughout the nation citizens have created and funded support groups. The matter of health injections, the trust between citizen and state nolonger exsists. New Zealanders are fully awake.
It is time for Luxon to receive his employment terminated for forcing a known poison into our drinking water, GE in our food, excessive business compliance and unworkable tax, levy’s, fees, licensing costs, rates, waterservices, mandatory tracking of vehicles, road user chargers, increased GST and or capital gains tax. Complexity of business tax, employment law and the list goes on to include a spcial tax for Temu.
You can’t tax your way out of a depression. If people do not have money to spend, and business are too busy being compliant, the economy will collapse. And look, it has.
Both main parties have failed to deliver or make a workable proper functioning government to make NZ a nice place to be and get ahead. The Greens must be booted from power for the financial harm they caused by destroying the nations oil refinery and air NZ with it. The racist Maori party wants your tax dollars to give to their race so they don’t have to work.
I am not saying they are perfect, however if you are not voting NZ first or ACT, you are voting to be poor, oppressed, cold, less rights and far less personal freedom.
