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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
anyone to be held accountable, ANYONE ?
