The "New-Zealand whistle-blower" story is a dead-end for valid arguments
The "New-Zealand whistle-blower" story is a dead-end for valid arguments
Too many people are falling for the New Zealand Data trap. There are no alert signal in the New Zealand mortality trends and the data released is unusable.
New Zealand is an island nation of the Tasman Sea, populated by 5.2 millions people.
It became a center of attention when, on November 29, 2023, the Twitter account “NZLoyal” released a video featuring Elizabeth Jane Cooney, commonly known as “Liz Gunn”, and of someone introducing himself as an anonymous whistle-blower, “Winston Smith”1. A few minutes after the video2 publication, Winston Smith turned out to be one Barry Young, as his name was thrown on Twitter, and his identity has been made very public since3.
The video was swiftly relayed by Steve Kirsch, who had been teasing it for a few weeks.
As we highlight here, the arguments advanced by Barry Young are in a vast majority bad - or at least poorly presented.
If one had wanted to pick the worst country possible to illustrate the jab damages, he would have probably picked New Zealand. It’s a very small population, where demographic problems wouldn’t go unnoticed, and so far the exceptional data we see on islands4 tenses to indicate that Pfizer privileged large countries to ship its doubtful batches. New Zealand is no exception to this pattern, and displays no visible safety signal.
In addition, alterations made to the data by Kirsch are forbidding serious re-analysis, against the explicit purpose stated by Barry Young.
Summary of the M.O.A.R (“Mother of all revelations” 🙄)
00:00 → 07:45 - A few minutes of introduction.
07:46 → 08:45 - Barry Young, database administrator, involved with Global Projects, helped to implement a vaccine payment system for the providers, with a “pay per dose” system, which he helped building. He noticed discrepancies, people dying within a week after getting vaccinated.
08:46 → 16:00 - Discussion
16:01 → 17:00 - “This” isn’t COVID.
17:01 → 29:11 - “120 crude deaths through history” “analysis”.
29:12 → 32:00 - 30% of subjects injected would have died in one Hospital, which is higher than New Zealand’s average mortality. A few other sites are showed.
32:00 → 37:10 - Discussion
37:11 → 41:20 - The dataset isn’t complete (2.2 millions people) but accurate. Barry clearly wants the original dataset released, to provide undeniable arguments.
41:21 → 45:40 : More hospitals to global mortality rate comparison.
45:41 → 50:10 : Entirely unusable batch analysis, with obfuscated batch reference, unclear source on doses administered, and out-of nowhere rates which don’t correlate to the figures on screen or the data provided by Kirsch.
50:11 → 54:02 : It’s across the general population, not just in old ages. More useless batch analysis.
54:03 → 57:32 : Now Liz does the analysis and Barry says “yes” to whatever nonsense she is articulating.
57:33 → End : Discussion
Later in the day, Steve gave his “MIT lecture”5. I won’t summarize this one as there is only so much one can inflict himself in a single day. As usual with Steve, the only elements of interest are borrowed to others.
There is only one detail you needed to pay attention to:
48:50 → 49:55 - The data made public has been “obfuscated”. In layman terms, this means it has become impossible to verify, and useless for any form of real analysis6. As Steve proudly says “no record matches anything about any of the people in it”. Forget his reserves about “statistics not being altered” ; he just means “his own crappy analysis” and doesn’t understand what he has done.

Conclusion
The only alert signal we can observe is the rise in infant mortality in 2021, consistent with observations in Scotland & France20.
The official figures for 2023, which are currently unpublished, have not been presented by Barry Young and are, therefore, not relevant to this analysis.
As a result of Kirsch’s new efforts to poison the well, Prof. Norman Fenton - quoted, obviously, way beyond what he had committed to - has shared his strong reserves21 and the batch analysis which would be interesting to make and confirm on trust-worthy data. Along with the time to deaths measurements, currently rendered pointless to analyse.
Mongol’s detailed breakdown on the topic is worth reading22.
Igor Chudov, rightfully skeptical of the data23 in which he noted significant discrepancies with the figures announced, then considered the possibility that Barry Young may be of good faith24. Although it seems unlikely to us, there remains a non negligible possibility that Barry Young is sincere. Ultimately, it is Kirsch's actions that have rendered the data unusable and unverifiable.
Kevin Mc Kernan saw his “Mega” drive and 820 Gb of professional data suspended for hosting the data released by Kirsch25 - under legal injunction. Furthermore, Kirsch is now undermining Andrew Bridgen's efforts in the United Kingdom26.
Until the introduced FOIs27 yield truly trustworthy data, or that at least the original, unaltered dataset is released, we advise extreme caution when re-using or drawing conclusions from the Kirsch dataset, as goes for any information shared by Kirsch, who already demonstrated his blatant disregard for accuracy28 on too many occasions to list them.
Meanwhile, the father of all limited hang-outs, Alex Jones, is on the affair already. Barry Young reiterates here his desire to have statisticians looking at the data. Is he even aware that it has been “obfuscated” by Steve ..?

I don’t think we have the final/correct mortality figures for the last few years yet. Lots of delays with coroner’s office. SpiderCat did an OIA on mortality numbers here in NZ and found a staggering discrepancy:

Pure anecdote, but I can rattle off a list of kids from my daughter’s school and my friends’ kids’ schools who have dropped dead of a clot/myocarditis since 2021 (including a six year old girl at my daughter’s school). This may well just be heightened awareness on my part, but I really hope accurate mortality figures emerge in the coming years so that we can properly check. Kind of feels like the whistleblower data has become a distraction. Time will tell, I guess (I hope).
Crikey I can see I’m gonna have to out aside some time to write this all out. First of all we in NZ DO have excess all-cause mortality, as above commentators have pointed out and many many others. We can see it every day. This whole ‘whistleblower’ issue in NZ is a deliberate attempt to sabotage the authentic and long-running work from genuine experts to raise awareness of the risks from the jab. With this in mind., it is irrelevant whether Barry is for real or not. If you follow the money you’ll see that Liz Gunn has been ‘chosen’ specifically by them (the WHO?) to portray, in the worst possible way, any potential for this data to be used in our fight and to further divide our society. Our new, weak 3 party coalition Government has agreed to ‘reserve the decision’ about the WHO/IHR changes, and has promised to reverse all the nonsense woke legislation that tries to progress the WEF Agenda. Please try to look beyond the obvious media emotive manipulated crap to the real issues, and real people with real messages. Thank you.
