New Zealand Ministry of Education refused to grant any exemptions and coerced pregnant teachers to get jabbed.

I’ve written before about the New Zealand COVID-19 Public Health Response (Vaccinations) Order 2021, which came into effect 30th April 2021 and later imposed the ‘vaccine’ mandates on various public sector workers (and by default, staff and customers who interacted with them). I’m now summarising the outcomes from my OIAs to the New Zealand Ministry of Education.

I’m uncovering pieces of the jigsaw from each of the public sectors that were impacted, in an attempt to understand what happened. Because….

….only when we fully know what happened, can we determine what went wrong and therefore stop it from happening again.

For instance, I wrote about the Prison mandates in New Zealand, here. And the Fire and Emergency staff mandates, here. I’ve also written more detailed analysis of the mandates for healthcare staff, for instance here. Some of these inquiries are ongoing.

In line with our healthcare workers, the Ministry of Education teachers’ figures show women far outweigh men in this sector. Gender data was conspicuously absent in the latest Annual Report, but for instance, in 2019, women made up 95% of early childhood teachers; 88% of primary school teachers and 60% of secondary school teachers. So no doubt armed with this info, those BigPharma PR propagandists began to dream-up a cunning plan. There’s a certain type of psyops needed to win over the hearts and minds of (some) women.

So, in April 2021 when the ‘Vaccine’ Order (as secondary legislation) came about, the world had already been insane for a whole year, thanks to the propaganda and fear-mongering from Government-funded media. And as many of us know (because New Zealand was a few months behind the UK and Israel), by then, there was already glaringly obvious evidence that these injections were far from the ‘safe and effective’ mantra that was repeatedly claimed.

The world was about to get even more insane, and sinister, and many of us knew what was coming. And that there was no way out.

On the 11th October 2021, the New Zealand Ministry of Education, in (enthusiastic) anticipation of the impending ‘vaccine’ mandate for all education staff, published this:

Mandatory vaccinations

All staff members who work in schools and kura and workers who may have contact with children and students will be required to have a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by 15 November 2021 and be fully vaccinated by 1 January 2022.   

Where possible, staff are encouraged to be tested and book vaccinations outside of regular working hours, including the current school holidays. If this is not possible, you should provide adequate time during working hours for staff to be vaccinated. No leave of absence should be recorded.   

This applies to all those that may have contact with children and students when delivering an education service, including principals, teachers, relief teachers, casual staff, administration staff, maintenance staff, OSCAR providers and hostel staff. (my emphasis)

and then later in that same statement:

 What if a staff member is not able to be vaccinated?

Not everyone is able to be vaccinated, tested, or make use of PPE like face coverings. Where this is not possible, employees should provide appropriate medical evidence for an exemption to these and identify how they can reasonably assure you that they are not at risk of transmitting COVID-19.  We will be working with unions and others to consider the implications for those people who cannot or will not be vaccinated.  Our objective will be to retain as many people in employment while ensuring public health. (my emphasis)

and then later, published on the 18th November 2021, this:

 If no alternative duties are available [for those who cannot or will not be vaccinated], they may be placed on discretionary special leave while you work through the employment process [that means fire them]. Whether that leave is with or without pay is a matter for the school board [Board members were not covered by the mandate], but an employee who has chosen not to be vaccinated is arguably not “ready, willing and able to work” [the wording the Employment Law Act] and therefore may not be entitled to pay. (my additions in brackets and my emphasis)

There may be cases in which a board decides that paid leave is appropriate, for example, in the case of an employee who is waiting on the outcome of a medical exemption application submitted to the Ministry of Heath by their doctor or nurse practitioner.

Termination of employment

If you have found no suitable alternatives after consultation with the employee, you should move to give notice to the employee of termination of their employment. The notice period in the employee’s employment agreement applies.

Importantly - as I stated above - because like many other countries, most of our teachers are women - this particular Ministry of Education statement also included a link to a Facebook livestream (5th Nov 2021) hosted by the NZ Ministry of Health. Up until now, I admit I haven’t been able to bear watching these propaganda pieces - they are sick. But now, although still nauseating, I have some curiosity. This one appears to have been a tightly-scripted performance of various BigPharma-shills, facilitated by a young, female TV personality - Kanoa Lloyd - who conveniently then, had just had her first baby. Interestingly, she’s recently written about being ‘hated’ for ‘being brown’ here.

“Experts” in this meeting were Dr Kara Okesene-Gafa and Dr Michelle Wise - who were/are both at the University of Auckland. Bronwyn Robinson a nurse who managed to persuade port workers to get jabbed and Christine Mallon (Chief Midwife at Health NZ).

Look carefully - the body language of these women often betrays their obvious discomfort at promoting the injections to pregnant women. See especially at 23m 52 secs (below in full) where the facts are glossed-over about how ‘antibodies’ (but definitely NOT the mRNA, she says) are ‘safely’ transferred to the baby through breastmilk:

In the segment after the breastmilk, nervous laughs also betray the ladies’ natural concerns about the impact of the jab on the menstrual cycle (and therefore the baby) that is a ‘common korero (conversation)’ admits Kanoa. [Aren’t alarm bells ringing?] But then quickly this concern is dismissed by the “expert” Michelle Wise (who ironically, apparently suffered this adverse event herself) as ‘just the stress of covid’ and ‘just normal’ but is the ‘subject of ongoing research’.

Apparently just being able to talk about it, should be enough to put all women’s minds at rest about the potential harms (honestly, you can’t make this sh*t up).

As

Dr Naomi Wolf

points out repeatedly in her insightful writings, the sinister nature of these marketing tactics, that inflicted so much harm on women’s bodies like this, including their unborn or breastfeeding child, is beyond comprehension. To try to stigmatise these harms, gaslight and blame the victims, is beyond words.

I’m left wondering what these women think of their performance now, with the benefit of hindsight. Have any woken up to the horror of what they were a part of? How many teachers and other education staff (and their students) were taken-in by this fake performance? Even now, this question is difficult to answer, because comments were heavily censored on Facebook at the time and completely turned off on YouTube). Unknown numbers of staff who were forced out of the profession, were unrecorded. And what has happened to all those babies?

In the background, many teachers and other education-workers who did not comply, I knew were being gaslit, verbally abused, bullied and alienated by their peers and managers. Students who had often also become victims of the propaganda (and enticed into rolling-up their sleeves in exchange for a credit for their phone or a free burger) were disgustingly (encouraged?) to taunt and criticize their own teachers. Peers and managers - many previously respected and even considered friends - stayed silent. Some psychopaths even appeared to take some kind of joy from their colleagues’ despair and trauma.

Many teachers understandably couldn’t (or wouldn’t) put up with this harassment and coercion and left. Others stayed until they were forced out of the institution by their managers. There was no leaving gatherings with cards and tea and cake - many were forced to collect their belongings out-of-hours and not allowed to explain to their students or colleagues the unfair, unethical and illegal policies that had forced them to leave their careers. Careers that for many had been decades in the making, that they valued and loved.

In my OIA to the Ministry of Education, I asked for the names of those involved with this mandate policy and its enforcement. We knew then that Prof Juliet Gerrard, University of Auckland, was the so-called ‘scientific advisor’ to the PM. In the Education Ministry, there were two key roles involved:

“…dissemination, oversight, and changes to the policy were the Head of COVID Response (November 2021 – May 2022), and the Chief Advisor for COVID-19 (March 2020 – December 2022). We have withheld the names of these individuals under section 9(2)(a) of the Act, to protect the privacy of natural persons, these roles no longer exist within the Ministry.”

I wonder who they were and what they are doing now? I also asked for copies of all the correspondence regarding the mandate policy, including requests for exemptions or complaints. However, I was told:

“…queries, feedback, and complaints were received from education-related staff from across the sector concerning these policies through different channels of communication. These were not centrally collated or stored in one place. Therefore, I am refusing this part of your request under section 18(g) of the Act, as the information requested [does not exist].”

How convenient.

So how about those exemptions?

“The Ministry of Education did not have a dedicated application form for this exemption, however as advised in the bulletins, an individual could apply for an exemption through their General Practitioner. Seven Education-related applications were received and processed by the Ministry with all decisions referred to the Minister for approval. All of these applications were declined.”

So despite the Ministry including in their statements that the Employment Laws should be adhered to by the management and Boards of schools and other institutions, there were no exemptions granted. Personally, I would love to know who those seven people were who DID manage to get through the red tape, only to be cut off at the final hurdle. Did they manage to keep their jobs? Were they forced out?

Could they be a whistleblower now, and tell their story?

Images from Social Media during Wellington NZ Protests against the mandates (2022)

Maybe some of those people were at the many national (or international) protests against the mandates? The main protest camp outside the Beehive at Wellington in February 2022 included many teachers and nurses and other public sector workers. You can watch an excellent documentary about that protest, including interviews with teachers and the police brutality the peaceful protestors had to endure, here:

We Came Here for Freedom

Anyway, this summarises another piece of the jigsaw into the ‘no-jab no-job’ mandates during 2021-22 for the teachers and other education staff in New Zealand under Jacinda Ardern’s leadership. And meanwhile, we still await the outcome of the Appeal for the teachers case against the mandates, with NZDSOS. Further information about which, including the issues raised in the Court case about the exemptions, is here.
