[*Edit: I’ve linked to the piece Lynch wrote on Stuff about Hatchard at the end of this article.] The following is a riveting interchange between Stuff reporter, Keith Lynch, who is dubbed by Stuff to be their official “Science Explainer.” Lynch emailed Dr. Guy Hatchard to ask him a series of questions for an upcoming piece that Lynch is writing on Hatchard. Hatchard had the good sense to publish the actual written interview in advance as a press release. It’s the only way to keep journalists honest in these horrid days of mass media propaganda. Press Release: Guy Hatchard PhD Answers Questions From Keith Lynch at Stuff Newspaper By Guy Hatchard This morning I received an email from Keith Lynch, ‘Science Explainer’ at Stuff newspaper. Apparently Keith intends to write a ‘hit piece’ on me in Monday’s Stuff. Keith’s letter is below in black. Based on Stuff’s continuing approach to attack unvaccinated people in the public eye or in elected positions without offering them any ‘right of reply’, I am publishing my answer to his questions in full, so that you can make up your own mind. My replies in blue. ---- Hello Guy My name is Keith Lynch and I'm a reporter at Stuff. I'm writing a piece about you and some of your writings on the Covid vaccine and i've some questions.
I worked as a senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food safety testing and certification company (now known as FoodChain ID). My official title was Director of Natural Products. The company developed statistical sampling and testing strategies based on PCR technology to ensure that both bulk and retail products were free of genetic modification. Genetic ID certification was used by its customers, including large primary product and retail suppliers, to ensure that they could gain access to international trade opportunities between countries and trading blocks including Japan, the EU, and many others. I was involved in all of these activities.
Maharishi International University (MIU) is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), the accrediting agency for universities and colleges in the North Central region of the US. The Higher Learning Commission is recognized by the US Department of Education and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). MIU primary student intake is in programmes for Computer Professionals, Management, Integrative Health, and Sustainable and Regenerative Living. You can find out more for example at https://www.miu.edu/cba/accredited-by-iacbe My BSc Hons undergraduate degree was in Logic and Theoretical Physics at the University of Sussex, UK. This included courses in foundations of mathematics and the scientific method. I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Teaching for Science, Physics, and English from Christchurch Teachers College (now part of Canterbury University). My MA thesis at MIU studied the use of Bloom’s mastery learning techniques in mathematics education to increase achievement in mathematics at the 2 sigma level. My PhD is nominally in the Psychology Department, but focused on the use of time series analysis and panel regression analysis to investigate the effect of human factors including meditation on national competitive advantage as measured by social and economic indicators in 40 countries. For this I analysed hundreds of data sets supplied by the Institute for Management Development in Lausanne Switzerland. The conclusions of my thesis have been published in a peer reviewed journal. In essence, meditation can enhance individual creativity and this can impact economic achievement positively and reduce social problems including crime. My work has been published in the journal Psychology, Crime, and Law. I was a keynote speaker at the annual conference of the British Psychological Society. I have written papers and lectured on QALYs Quality Adjusted Life Years, a system of assessing the impact of health interventions on longevity and quality of life. I have written a book Discovering and Defending Your DNA Diet which is available as a download from Amazon Kindle and Smashwords. It contains over 800 references to studies published in scholarly journals.
I have traveled extensively and lectured on the safety issues of genetic engineering and on the impact of over-regulation of the natural health products sector. I have met with State Prime Ministers and Ministers in Australia and Ministers in the UK and New Zealand. I have made presentations to MoH committees in New Zealand. I presented to the Royal Commission on Genetic Modification in New Zealand. There is a section in our Parliamentary Library of my writings. In 1990 I was invited to be a lead of a team working under the auspices of the Ministry of Health of Armenia to relieve PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) following an earthquake which killed over 25,000 people. Our team treated 35,000 people over the course of a year. For seven years I was director of a 60 million pound crime prevention community project in Merseyside, UK which received government funding and won a British Urban Renewal Award. This project also involved the founding of a new school which is now an award winning free school fully funded by the UK Department of Education.
I have never said that the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi shaped my ‘beliefs’ about Covid vaccination, which in any case are not beliefs and are actually based on published research. As Maharishi died in 2008, it is strange for you to suggest that he had opinions on mRNA Covid vaccines. I practice his technique of Transcendental Meditation and have done so since 1969. Extensive published research shows it aids mental clarity, health, and well being. The American Heart Association has endorsed it as a means of improving heart health and reducing blood pressure. I have greatly benefited from knowing the founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and I worked and communicated with him from time to time until his death in 2008, but I am not currently associated with any Transcendental Meditation organisation. I hold different views to Transcendental Meditation organisations. I realise that the understanding and development of consciousness is a legitimate aim of education. My current views largely rely on published research. In NZ we live in a country where one is free to practice religion, take up yoga or meditation. What are you implying here?
In my book published in 2017, I cite no references opposing vaccination, nor do I discuss any anti vax arguments. My wife’s sister died within 24 hours of receiving a polio vaccine, but my mother suffered disabilities as a result of contracting polio which affected her quality of life. My wife and I have both received vaccinations. There are very valid historical reasons why international human rights documents, to which NZ is a signatory, uphold personal medical choice. I therefore believe in general that medical procedures should always be a matter of informed choice. I am opposed to the mandating of mRNA vaccines. There are serious safety issues. Prima facie evidence exists corroborating this. The rate of adverse effect reporting for the Pfizer mRNA vaccine in New Zealand is running at 30x that of traditional flu vaccines. I have written extensively on this during the last six months. My views can be assessed from my website HatchardReport.com and have been reprinted widely by many media outlets.
MIU is not ‘my own university’. I studied for a PhD there and was briefly on the faculty. The official views of MIU and myself are not identical. I note that MIU, like all accredited universities in the USA, is in receipt of very substantial federal educational grants, one recent condition of these grants is the formation of acceptable Covid vaccination policies.
I suggest you watch my video “The Pandemic of Biotechnology” which can be viewed at my website HatchardReport.com. It contains many scientific references. If you want to examine the history of the development of mRNA techniques from a pro-mRNA vaccine standpoint, I suggest you read an article from the journal Nature entitled the tangled history of mRNA vaccines. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02483-w Even from this perspective, it is clear that mRNA vaccines emerged from work in gene therapy and gene manipulation. You are probably aware of recent work in Sweden confirming that mRNA vaccine sequences can integrate into human liver cells in vitro.
You may not be aware, but I and many of my professional colleagues around the world are aware that it is a safe policy, when submitting articles for publication in learned journals about Covid, to include some words encouraging Covid vaccination. It is a policy of many universities to expel researchers and professors who publicly express doubts about biotechnology and Covid vaccination. I also note, as a local example of this, that in a recent email exchange with a leading RNZ host he said it was unacceptable to air the views of anyone who opposed Covid vaccination. The study you refer to above was funded by the CDC. My comments reference a close look at the data the authors presented in the study. Because the unvaccinated data is not fully analysed in the paper, this is best explained in the following video by a professor who is actually known to be pro vaccination, but nevertheless he explains how the study data reveals little difference between Omicron outcomes for the vaccinated and unvaccinated. This is not data the CDC would be very happy about, its analysis was glossed over in the paper:
I suggest you reference my analysis of NZ data published yesterday on my website and in the Daily Telegraph. In this I fact check in great detail how the presentation by Stuff articles of relative risks as opposed absolute risks is designed to make Omicron seem frightening when in actuality Covid has evolved to become a relatively mild illness. https://hatchardreport.com/are-unvaccinated-people-at-serious-risk-from-omicron-in-nz/
The article in the NY Times (a newspaper) has been widely lampooned, it reported a ‘study’ that has not been either published or peer reviewed. I suggest you Google your question, the articles covering the issue will keep you busy until Christmas. My colleagues in the gene therapy field are of the opinion that there are a number of genetic sequences that are recognisably from gene therapy experiments.
It wasn’t a ‘claim’ it was a question. Why doesn’t Stuff ask more probing questions? MoH has warned heads of DHBs of the need to be very alert to spot cases of carditis following vaccination, why haven’t MoH instituted a robust programme to collate data on the incidence of heart disease in NZ since vaccination? Astrid Koorneef has written to me on behalf of Ashley Bloomfield saying the MoH sees no need for mandatory reporting of adverse effects, meanwhile many vaccine recipients presenting with tachycardia, chest pain, and shortness of breath are still being sent home by EDs and GPs without a CARM report or thorough investigation.
This is a jolly question. You tell me. I am retired and living in a rural location. Why have so many of my friends and neighbours had adverse health incidents after Covid vaccination? Why did Jacinda Ardern delete the 33,000 comments from her FB page about vaccine adverse effects? Clearly she has far more friends than me that have vaccine injuries. Why haven’t you been asking the Prime Minister? Why has the Health Forum NZ page been deleted by FB—the last refuge of vaccine injured people in the absence of any coverage from Stuff?
He suffered known mRNA vaccine injuries—heart inflammation (carditis) and immune system suppression. Medsafe has a list of at least 150 deaths proximate to vaccination reported to CARM, (many more have been reported to NZDSOS). For most of these, Medsafe maintains they cannot determine whether vaccination was the cause of death. ACC is denying many claims for compensation on this basis. Temporal association is the first criteria used to determine causality. I have suggested that there be a more determined approach to assessing cause of death proximate to vaccination. In some cases, this might involve an autopsy. As the numbers in NZ are small this should also involve international cooperation.
I was initially very supportive of Jacinda Ardern’s strategy of border closures. I believed and still believe that it should have bought NZ time to review an evolving research picture. In the event, the death rate in NZ from Covid infection is among the lowest in the world, if not the lowest. That is creditable. Early on there were scientific opinions that mRNA vaccination was safe and effective. It was believed that RNA genetic sequences would rapidly dissipate and the spike proteins generated by cells taking up the RNA sequences would stimulate an appropriate immune response and then also dissipate. This has not turned out to be the case. RNA sequences can continue to generate spike proteins over long periods. There is extensive lymph node hyper metabolism following vaccination. There is an unprecedented rate of adverse effects, some of which do not dissipate. We should have been more cautious about mRNA vaccines. The introduction of employment mandates was a big mistake from a safety perspective and an economic disaster.
I have only quoted Michael Baker verbatim from emails between ourselves. I do not believe these are out of context. It is very important in all correspondence to own your opinions.
Philip Hill is a senior academic. I note that in the course of the correspondence between Michael, Philip, and myself and others, it was a cordial exchange of scientific views which I respect. Inexplicably, the correspondence came to an abrupt end when I expressed serious reservations about the safety of mRNA vaccination. There was one particular case of a young woman of 17 who died unexpectedly from a thrombotic event following vaccination. It has still not been admitted by Medsafe that this was caused by vaccination.
Keith ---- I Have Questions for You Keith: I note that your qualifications are in marketing, commerce, and journalism, yet you are the chief covid science explainer editor for Stuff appointed at the start of the NZ vaccination rollout. You list three people on Linkedin who have influenced your thinking: Bill Gates, Helen Clarke, and Simon Sinek. Was it a part of your job description on appointment at Stuff that your writing should support the government’s vaccination programme? How did you get such an appointment without a science background? Because I have been working for a long time off and on questioning the safety of genetic engineering and genetic medicine, I am aware that one’s views are not always well reported in mainstream media, so I am publishing my reply to you as a press release in the hope that other media outlets might pick it up and report it in full.

By Olivia Pierson We had Freedom Village for 23 glorious days and it was magnificent! Its very existence made hearts glow all over this disillusioned country, even if many tried to be circumspect about their secret support of it, owing to ugly government extremism. We have been proud to stand up and say ‘No!' to state-sponsored discrimination and hate. That moral grotesquerie, PM Ardern, distorts the truth as much as she distorts her mush in front of cameras, and she directed this torrent of violence toward peaceful citizens. She used our respected police force against us instead of respecting our democratic right to ask for a redress of grievances before police even needed to be involved. She refused to hear us to the bitter end preferring to unleash violence instead. She let it be known through such actions that she is completely done with democracy - and so are opposition leaders such as Luxon and Seymour. They are the proverbial men who do nothing so that evil triumphs. Overt and hateful discrimination operating in our society, along with coerced medical injections have made people sick to their stomachs with pure moral revulsion. The NZ Convoy 22 in solidarity with Canada, and inspired by them, sounded a clarion call of opposition to such abhorrent apartheid - and from every corner of this nation thousands of Kiwis showed up with their actual physical presence. People taking a unified stand for liberty and their existing egalitarian links to others genuinely shocked our leaders when Parliament grounds transformed into an audacious colourful camp-ground dotted with tents temporarily housing mums, dads, grandparents and children from every sector, race and religion of our country. One single theme was hollered in the most creative and multicultural ways imaginable for 23 days, “End the Mandates!” The funny irreverence and spirit of humour was priceless from the beginning - the Poi E man expertly swinging his pois to the government loudspeakers repetitively blasting music from the balcony (including Barry Manilow!). “Lake Mallard.” “Mallard Creek.” “No Booster Lane.” “Freedom Drive.” The horse float smack bang in the middle with the words “Cindy’s Taxi.” These things served not only to make us laugh, they reminded us of more halcyon days when we had relentless political satire on our TV screens every week as a matter of normalcy: McPhail & Gadsby, Spitting Images, Not the 9 O’clock News etc. These shows took the piss out of politicians and celebrities for decades, serving the excellent public function of keeping those who looked at power with a longing eye a little bit more humble. Freedom Village’s very existence was a powerful reproach to those seeking to smash our liberties and our way of life. The ultimate goal of the protest was not fully attained, but it influenced some massive wins along the way: The high court ruling during the protest for police and military personnel that no jab, no job was in breach of our Bill of Rights, which is natural law. By week two of the protest, some of our media started to change its tune - they began by calling the Convoy a bunch of fringe loons without a clue but were forced to cover a very long protest on principle that they had not seen the likes of before. It defied all previous definitions and they knew it well. These protesters were engineers, tradies, teachers, nurses, doctors, merchants, housewives, mothers, fathers, lawyers, students, salespeople, restauranteurs etc - all on the same side of an important moral issue. They’re ordinary people without any representation. David Seymour, started to dial-back his hitherto constant mocking of protesters. He started to sing a slightly different tune when it was clear that the prevailing wind favoured by freedom lovers was now blowing in his face, especially after his former political mentor, Rodney Hide, joined in the protest boots and all. Just take that as an abject lesson that Seymour (and ACT) can never be trusted, he’s a stoat of a man and I noticed the protesters registered this clearly on the ground at Freedom Village. Seymour is done - he and true freedom are poles apart. Compared to Seymour, at least Ardern gives us her fucked up fascism somewhat straight. There are so many heroes coming out of this cultural revolution in New Zealand, a revolution forced on us once more by Marxists, only now they are the establishment, as in Maoist China. We are resisting the grey totalitarian world lying in wait of their ambitions. We are the vanguards of our traditional country operating on the classic ethos of live-and-let-live, once upon a time the central tenet of this freedom loving democracy. They have hurt us and will continue to do so. They have smeared us and will continue to do so. They have disenfranchised us and will continue to do so. These are the only things that they’re good at. It’s what they do and we actually pay them to do it to us. The next fair rule of the people versus the government should be that politicians who want to serve this country are not paid a salary to lord it over us. America’s Founding Fathers took time out from their farms, families and businesses to serve as Presidents with no salary expected. We must return to measures like these which do not reward power-lust, but only sincere convictions fought out in the free market place of ideas. But we are now all in contact with each other and we are a force of competence, passion, compassion, fair-mindedness and free-thought across this nation. They are going to call us “violent" even though it was not our protesters who started the fires, nor attacked the police. We knew aggressive false flag events were planted throughout this honourable protest, probably at the hands of a desperate government - and it’s now on record that these rioters showed up to bottom-feed on a confrontation with authorities... so many were masked, hiding their faces. Our protesters almost never cover their faces, we leave that to the police, bureaucrats and BLM/Antifa-style rioters, who are not proud of their actions. Take heart that the news media here is so despised for lying and bias (at best) that the likes of Chantelle Baker, Papa Honez One Whanau at a Time, Mana News Live, the Daily Examiner and Free NZ live feeds show the truth of what took place at this critical juncture in our history. Needing to be verified by some tiny crumb that the mainstream media tosses out on occasion smacks of Stockholm Syndrome to me - they are utterly irrelevant to us now and have been for a long time. From here on in they either play windsock catch up over time (which is useless to us) or they do the bidding of the evil coming down the pipeline from Big Pharma/Techno-globalists that our government in its entirety serve (which is also useless to us). We’ve been marginalised, and there it is. So it’s time now to get skilled at the part of the two-tier system they have thrust upon us: trading with gold coins, silver coins, cash, no banks, bartering, farmers’ markets, self-defense, food-growing communities, home-schooling, private medical hubs, private banks only and new natural law-courts to honour the good faith of contracts and individual rights. We don’t need their corrupt system and must now act on that principle. Our pioneer ancestors once did all this with the help of the English government, we can now do this on our own without them if we must. They’re going to involve us in a NATO-initiated war against Russia - Putin responded. This is more mass formation psychosis in real time and we’re done. There are no good guys in this war. Until the Free World has an American president once more who only takes up the causes integral to the Free World remaining the Free World, none of us should ever fight for any other country except for our own. Pick your battles. We are human beings and will continue to live as upright citizens who see flourishing as our natural right, regardless of what soulless government breathes down our necks. Moral law is on our side, to say nothing of the whole trajectory of Western Civilisation. From Aristotle, Cicero and St. Augustine to St. Thomas Aquinas, Shakespeare and Elizabeth the First then the Founding Fathers, we have an enormously rich heritage of enlightened minds instructing us that liberty of conscience is the organising principle of all our governments, jurisprudence and human rights. Continue to hold the line in the best things that make us human: thoughts, words and deeds. Nothing else matters. Freedom Village was a concrete testament that our attention needs to stay focused on these things, no matter what chaos is conjured up around us.
