A paper published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry on July 31 2026 is entitled “Autism spectrum disorder trends for children and adults in New Zealand: A longitudinal examination of three national databases“. It found that the rate of autism diagnoses in NZ has multiplied by a factor of 3.4 (340%) between 2009 and 2023. This amounts to a staggeringly steep rise in cases. Grant Dixon, a NZ data commentator who was very active during the pandemic, with whom the Hatchard Report has worked, has published a video analysing the paper.
The paper’s authors conclude that childhood vaccination schedules appear to have nothing to do with this rise. At first sight, the data might superficially appear to support this conclusion. In 2009 there were 15 scheduled childhood vaccinations in NZ. In 2023 this number had risen to 19 including oral vaccines. This is a rise of 27% (roughly a quarter) which is 13 times less than the rise in autism cases. Yet a closer examination of the data raises significant questions.
Antigens are the so called ‘active’ ingredients in vaccines popularly understood to be inactivated or live-attenuated disease pathogens, grown in eggs or cell culture. These are intended to stimulate the immune system. In fact, beginning in 1986 vaccine antigens began to be genetically engineered or synthetically encoded. Moreover, multiple antigens began to be included in single shots. This genetically engineered type now comprises a growing majority of vaccine antigens.
Grant Dixon has researched the number of antigens contained in the various vaccines administered to NZ children. This grew from just 37 in 2007 to 104 in 2023 with a multiplication rate of 2.8, very close to the rate of rise in autism cases. Autism is typically diagnosed at age 4 to 5. Therefore a more significant comparison of antigen impact might encompass earlier years. If you compare the antigen count in 2005 (33) to that in 2016 (111) the multiplication factor is 3.4, identical to the rise in autism cases. Grant Dixon goes on to compare the annual fluctuations in vaccine uptake and number of antigens and illustrates a close association between these factors and fluctuations in the number of autism diagnoses.
These figures should certainly ring alarm bells and need to be investigated thoroughly. However they are being ignored by those deaf to vaccine harm who are still unfortunately in the majority. This was underlined this week when the NY Post reported that 25,000 Amish living in New York State were being targeted and heavily fined under state law because of their long term religious opposition to vaccination of their children. There is no suggestion here that Amish children are unhealthy, quite the reverse. They escaped much of the serious illness circulating during the pandemic. It is a case of the state imposing a medical hegemony upon those who wish to maintain bodily autonomy. The Amish, who live simple lives farming their land organically, have lost the first and second rounds of litigation and the case is heading to the Supreme Court. If they lose this final appeal, the entire community plans to leave the state for good. Who knows if this type of extremism will happen here in NZ?
As the position of the Amish in New York State shows, the rush to genetic experimentation is being accompanied by moves to impose genetic medicine on the whole population. Naive minds have been schooled to believe that genetic medicine is a moral imperative that should be mandated for all. Is this due to the success of gene tech PR or does this represent a precipitous decline in common sense? As published evidence of mRNA vaccine harm mounts, the situation becomes ‘curiouser and curiouser’ as Alice in Wonderland would say. In other words, is the polarisation of opinion and the accompanying desire to force others to comply, a sign of deteriorating mental health, divorced from any scientific caution or fact?
The rise in autism rates suggests a possible association between gene editing and poor mental health. In 2023 we published an article “The Long Read: Mental Health Issues are Multiplying. Why?“. In this we noted a rise in mental health distress among 15 to 24 year olds from 11% in 2020 to 24% in 2022. As more studies are being published, we are now in position to investigate more closely whether genetically modified vaccines such as the Covid mRNA vaccines negatively affected mental well being along with the associated pandemic policies such as lockdowns.
A 2024 study of the official health data of 558,017 residents of Seoul, South Korea aged 65 and above published by Oxford’s International Journal of Medicine is entitled “A potential association between COVID-19 vaccination and development of Alzheimer’s disease“. It found with 95% confidence that there was an association between COVID-19 vaccination, particularly mRNA vaccines, and increased incidence of both Alzheimer’s Disease and its precursor—Mild Cognitive Impairment. The authors concluded:
“This warrants the need for further research to elucidate the relationship between vaccine-induced immune responses and neurodegenerative processes. We are advocating for continuous monitoring and investigation into the vaccines’ long-term neurological impacts.”
The two papers we have discussed here underline how much the giant commercial enterprise of biotechnology has been undertaken with the absurd and naive assumption that gene editing will not substantially affect mental health. Clearly it does. Overwhelming evidence points to this conclusion. As we have analysed repeatedly in our reports, the simple fact is that mind and body are intimately connected. Fundamentally, our cellular genetic system with DNA at its root, supports the expression of consciousness in all its facets. Moreover our health of body and mind relies on the natural genetic structures of food for nutrition. The holistic balance between mind, body and the natural world is being assaulted by a wave of genetic experimentation whose consequences are not limited to adverse effects on physical health. The balance of our human intelligence is under threat.
There are people in authority who will assert that any association between mRNA vaccines and mental health is a coincidence, they are ignoring new evidence. Sit back for a minute and review what scientific papers we have reported actually show. An association between cardiac health and mRNA vaccination status, cancer and mRNA vaccination. Ditto for immunity and mortality. Genetic processes control the WHOLE physiology. Edit genetic processes and you are editing life as a WHOLE.
Denial is a very primitive response, people all over the world have mis-associated belief in genetic medicine with their political allegiances and aligned themselves with global pharmaceutical lobbies. This is supposedly to defend themselves from threats to public health. This is not a sign of strength, it is a sign of intellectual weakness and irrational thinking. Some would say this is a giant experiment, but thirty million pandemic deaths tell a different story. These were due to Covid infection and vaccine harm; the relative proportions are immaterial, both came from genetic experimentation in labs.
In truth, a third world war is already in progress unlike any other war in history. Its weapons are bacterial scissors invisible to the naked eye busy cutting up the genetic code and its means of expression—the multidimensional cellular quantum structure which protects our health and allows us to exercise discrimination. These weapons can spread silently without limit, nor once released can they be recalled. Their effects cannot be remediated. In effect, they are weapons of mass destruction specifically designed to bypass the multiple layers of defence around our DNA that our physiology has built up over billions of years. This war has begun and few are yet aware it is happening, mostly they are cheering on the combatants from the grandstand, unaware that their turn is next and the final outcome is no longer in doubt.
It is time to face the truth. For politicians across all party lines this means pulling together to end gain of function research. For the individual this could mean a natural organic diet of food prepared at home, exercise, fresh air, pure water, sunshine, good company and joy. For the mind— meditation, worship, culture and truth. This is for eternity. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote:
“In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.…Standing on the bare ground,—my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space,—all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.”
