The Tribute, a new confessional-style web series directed by New Zealand filmmaker Gaylene Barnes (River of Freedom, 2023), premieres its teaser today at 5:00 PM NZT on YouTube (@TheTributeNZ).
The series features personal accounts from New Zealanders who report experiencing serious adverse effects after receiving COVID-19 vaccines, including conditions such as pericarditis and chest pain.
In the teaser, Yuval describes her experience: “My heart just started to go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, like, so fast,” adding that it was dismissed as “you’re probably just having a bit of a panic attack.” She notes, “The sad part was the waiting room was full of young people. Like, that’s not what a cardiologist waiting room should look like,” and shares her ongoing fear: “Just terrified to go to sleep every day, am I going to wake up?”
Ange, a healthcare worker forced to get vaccinated to keep her job, recounts her sudden immediate symptoms: “I started to get stabbing pain on the left side of my chest. My daughter rushed me to the emergency department, and the doctor there said to me that I was the fourth person that day— but I thought that this was all safe and effective?”
Bailey, a truck driver who experienced severe symptoms 6 hours after his Pfizer vaccine, says, “It started getting really aggressive. I could feel my heartbeat in my throat and out my chest,” and recalls arriving at hospital in intense pain: “I could barely talk because the pain was that much.” He adds that one of the first things a doctor said to him was, “don’t let this put you off your second vaccine.” His injury was later diagnosed as mRNA Covid 19 Vaccine induced Pericarditis, a well-known adverse effect.
The independent, crowdfunded production (via buymeacoffee.com/thetribute) also includes perspectives from families, whistleblowers and advocates from The Health Forum NZ.
Bi-weekly episodes, in short (3-5 minute) and long (20-30 minute) formats, are scheduled for release on YouTube and Spotify starting mid-January 2026.
Recent online promotion ahead of the teaser has generated grassroots interest, with key posts accumulating hundreds of likes, reposts, and thousands of views in the past 24 hours.

Its the ones who were forced into taking the shots
By those calling the shots to keep jobs in putting food on the table
Forced under duress to be tracked down if not in compliance
Are the ones I feel sorry for
Not the ones who were duped into lining up in desperation for fake PCR Tests
To tell them they were sick while remaining asymptomatic and showing no signs
Unless of course You had influenza when You got tested
But then again in retrospect they were lied to just like Trump supporters and how he ascended to the Presidency
The truth will come out one day
But it is a case of the needle and the damage done
His 1st instinct was to push therapeutics ( Dr. Zelenko’s regimen ) & the entire establishment came down on him..
I broke my favourite coffee cup last week when I stumbled over my son’s jandal. I was really angry at myself because it was a beautiful cup. But then I realized it was Trump’s fault and felt much better.
Time these politicians stood trial but that would require honest police and judiciary, with a measure of integrity, that was genuinely independent.
We’ve got crooked politicians, crooked judiciary, crooked cops and a crooked medical establishment whose main aim is to kill and maim to keep big pharma profits rolling in.
How is it even possible that the covid mRNA jab is still being pushed in this country along with all the other poisonous “vaccinations” considering the devastation the covid gene therapy jab has wreaked worldwide?
I never submitted to the injection, but I had a good friend who was an adamant supporter of the mRNA experiment and we used to rib each other in a good natured way to about it. Then, a few weeks after his second injection his neck blew up like a balloon and he was diagnosed with throat cancer. They cut it out and saved his life and to their credit the cosmetic reconstruction was really well done. But my friend changed his tune completely and he used to say that ‘Ardern tried to kill me’.
About a year later they found that his body was riddled with cancer. Pancreas, stomach and lymph nodes. He died a short while later.
Another case was my nephew. I don’t know how many injections he had, but I know he was forced into it to keep his job. He developed a range of debilitating ailments with kidney failure being the worst one. He looked like a skeleton and the short story is that he needed a kidney transplant and was on dialysis. He reckoned it was all the fault of the mRNA poison and he used to say that all the dialysis patients at the hospital blamed the injection for their condition. It was a generally accepted fact amongst the group. Just recently he keeled over and died at home.
The huge problem is that our rulers and the so-called medical ‘profession’ absolutely will not be not entertain the idea that this insane experiment was dangerous. As a result, it’s almost impossible to analyse any data. They write off anybody who raises questions as a mad conspiracy theorist, while effectively hiding any statistics which might throw light on it either way. I can’t prove that my friend and my nephew were killed by a medical experiment and our overlords are dammed sure they’re not going to allow anybody to find out one way or the other.
I’m not religious, but I can recognise pure evil when I see it.
My son had his job his home his life held over him and he didnt want to and now is still suffering . He features in the tribute series . Its heart breaking but this Series is going to be great so please everyone come join us at 5.00pm today and watch the trailer x
Barry Young bravely blew the whistle on this crime against humanity and was demonised by the very people who claim to protects us.
Suposed to go for minor surgery next it has to be done or i shall have future problems, thing is im terrified of doctors realy scared so much that i would prefer to put all my trust in Hod and stay away from doctors, perhaps ill die from this, thanks alot you evil parisites , burn in hell all of you
When injustice becomes law resistance becomes duty.
My heart goes out to all those who were tricked by the GOVT and media into taking these shots – this should have never happened and now that we are aware of the outcomes of these shots for lots of people in NZ the people who did this should be brought to justice. The ones that did not take the shots are all holding space for those injured, we are hoping that finally the dams burst and everyone is told so that we can start to find cures and remedies for people suffering. healing centres should be the first priority for anyone who has money, people must help others thats the only way ! Do not rely on a corrupt GOVT as they are trying to hide this to save their skins as they know when the majority awake their position in in danger.
While the establishment constantly insists that anecdote is not evidence, as they refuse to do their jobs and analyze actual evidence honestly and transparently, the famous Dr Robert Malone finally turned skeptic after more than a year had passed BECAUSE his anecdotal experience and that of everyone he asked, was so inconsistent with the official narrative. He discussed this in the viral podcast with Steve Kirsch and Bret Weinstein. Large numbers of people are in denial because they assume their anecdotal experience, what they see going on in their own circles, is untypical and “everyone else” is actually getting on very nicely. Their experience is actually not untypical and it is the narrative that is false.
Even anecdote can be turned to data via large scale surveys. Just one thing among many that the establishment does not want to do.
Jacinda Ardern started a Facebook page for the Covid Vaccines shortly after she had rolled out her coercive program to New Zealanders and it was deluged with negative comments. Censors were working frantically to remove the comments. But someone was videoing in real time; however, Big Tech kept this video censored too. It has remained available on Rumble but almost nobody ever looks there, and Big Tech prevents its search engines from discovering anything there.

I lost my only brother to an aggressive brain tumor this year. He was vaccinated!
Had never been sick in his life. Only 63 years old! He phoned me and told me I would die if I didn’t get vaccinated. I’m so glad I didn’t listen. My 45 year old daughter had a heart attack. She survived but needed a stent. My 40 year old daughter had her first jab and felt sick so went to her Dr. I told her to make sure she got her blood tested for clots and sure enough she was full of them. She also survived. Thank god! Time this was out in the open. People need to be held accountable!!
