New Zealand’s Ministry of Health whistleblower, Barry Young, has been released on bail after being charged with “accessing a computer system for dishonest purposes.”
The leaked dataset contains information related to vaccine recipients, including vaccine type, batch number, dose number, vaccination date, age, date of birth, and date of death.
Health New Zealand has opened an investigation and challenged the whistleblower’s credibility. Scientists have varying opinions on the dataset. Some note a small increase in deaths among young people soon after receiving the vaccine but the cause is inconclusive. Others, like Steve Kirsch, argue that the vaccines are unsafe and have led to significant mortality.
Despite government efforts to suppress discussion of vaccine harms, there is a growing call for transparency and the release of full, anonymized COVID-19 vaccine data for independent analysis. The New Zealand government’s actions against the whistleblower have raised questions about transparency, accountability, and the need for a broader public inquiry into vaccine safety.
