The New Zealand government’s regulation of therapeutic products will not work at all – it is designed to unleash a tsunami of biotechnology and synthetic food.
The NZ government is introducing the Therapeutic Products Bill which is an omnibus piece of legislation controlling among many other things, the availability of Natural Health Products and the introduction of biotech medical interventions. Given our experience of the last three pandemic years, we should be doubting the capacity of governments to protect our interests. Let’s look at what is already happening.

Do we really need legislation facilitating the further implementation of biotechnology in medicine or do we rather need legislation outlawing its use?
An article in Mother Jones is raising the alarm. Mother Jones is actually a very pro-vaccine publication, so why is it alarmed? A clue is in the title ‘The DNA of Deadly Pathogens Is Easy to Obtain’. A virologist David Evans has created a close relative of smallpox, a devastating disease that was thankfully eradicated 36 years ago. He was able to do so because he was simply able to order long stretches of the virus’s DNA in the mail, from GeneArt, a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific. Mother Jones summarises:
Today there are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of companies selling genes, offering DNA at increasingly low prices. (If DNA resembles a long piece of text, rates today are often lower than 10 cents per letter; at this rate, the genetic material necessary to begin constructing an influenza virus would cost less than $1,500.) And new benchtop technologies – essentially, portable gene printers – promise to make synthetic DNA even more widely available.
The dangers of the wide availability of deadly pathogens are not too hard to figure out for the average citizen, but it is apparently very hard for governments. The United States imposes few security regulations on synthetic DNA providers. In the USA it is perfectly legal to make a batch of genes from Ebola or smallpox and ship it to a US address, no questions asked. A number of non-profits pushing for regulation are finding it hard to gain traction in the spiralling multinational biotech industry.
The most prominent scientist sounding warnings about the danger of unchecked DNA synthesis is Kevin Esvelt, a biotechnologist at MIT. He explains the problem is that even a recent graduate-level biotechnologist would have no problem assembling a bioweapon from readily available synthetic gene sequences. A bioterror attack is only a short time away according to Esvelt.
Others disagree, Milton Leitenberg, a biosecurity expert at the Centre for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland concedes that making a virus might be easy, but carrying out a bio attack would be difficult (???). Now correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t we in the middle of a global pandemic which was likely started very simply by a lab in China which says it wasn’t even trying to start a bio attack. It seemed to manage it quite simply by accident (???).
The main problem is that nobody appears concerned about biosecurity, most governments including ours have been ignoring pandemic safety signals and even covering them up. THIS article points out that the regulation of gain-of-function research is vague, secretive, opaque, lacks accountability, and captures very little that’s risky in the life sciences. You could be forgiven for thinking the US government wants to encourage it.
Surely not? In any case, it wouldn’t happen here. We have an honest government, right? It seems not. Dr. Vinay Prasad is an American haematologist-oncologist and health researcher. He is a professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco (“UCSF”). He is the author of the books ‘Ending Medical Reversal’ (2015) and ‘Malignant’ (2020). He is a highly published author known for examining drug trial reliability. Vinay rates a preprint paper authored by our Ministry of Health (“MoH”) claiming satisfactory covid mRNA vaccine health outcomes as “really bad” followed by a “LOL” emoji (that is about as low as you can go) because it uses misleading statistical methods in order to downgrade the safety signal for myocarditis.
I can see the headline in our papers: “Prominent drug safety expert criticises MoH methodology” -no wait a minute, I can’t see that headline anywhere in NZ. I wonder why not?
It is papers like these put out by our MoH that are enabling Albert Boula CEO of Pfizer to falsely claim he has not seen a single safety signal. He might try a new eyeglass prescription and look at THIS recent paper analysing the results of 29 studies of post-vaccine myocarditis indicating a significant safety signal.
Moderna has a similar disregard for safety issues, see HERE, and a close relationship with US government regulators. Unbelievably Moderna was busy developing a covid vaccine even before the pandemic (!!!) based on the information it received from the government – yes, they knew what was coming, but no one told us. You can’t read about this in corporate media either.
Was this an isolated connection between biotech vaccine researchers and the US government? Apparently not, there is a history of US involvement with Ebola that is very worrying indeed.
So OK, it seems that governments can’t be trusted to regulate biotechnology, but will they be able to regulate Natural Health Products as they intend to do post pandemic here in New Zealand and elsewhere? “Natural” is undoubtedly a misused term around the world. The EU has agreed to allow acheta domesticus aka natural common house crickets to be added to:
