Anti-vaxxers’ propaganda

Online portal Nulta Tačka falsely claims 3,000% death surge in New Zealand amid high vaccination

Fully-Vaxxed New Zealand Suffers 3000% Spike in Excess Deaths

Devastating leaks from the New Zealand government have revealed that the fully-vaxxed nation has suffered a staggering 3,000 percent spike in excess deaths over the past two years. Due to strict mandates and heavy government pressure during the Covid pandemic, the vast majority of the New Zealand population is fully vaccinated.

The head of a New Zealand political party has cited leaked documents while raising the alarm about the Australasian country’s soaring excess mortality rates. Liz Gunn, head of NZ Loyal, is warning that tens of thousands of the nation’s population have died from the Covid injections. Gunn is one of few politicians in New Zealand who has spoken out about the number of excess deaths in the country of 5 million since the rollout of the Covid shots.

A recent report revealed that, during a 49-week period in 2022, there were 5,285 excess deaths in New Zealand. The number is a 3,203 percent increase over the figures for 2020, the last year before the Covid shots were rolled out. Gunn said she was contacted by a whistleblower who gave her leaked government documentation.

“The number of deaths is usually less than the number of those suffering from ill effects of the injections, then the extrapolation of the numbers that have been injured and killed starts to become, frankly, eye-watering,” Gunn said.

“People who attended the same jab site, and were jabbed one after the other, at consecutive times on the same day.

“We saw their jab date and we saw their date of death,” Gunn noted.

ANALYSIS

The website „Nulta tačka“ known for its anti-vaccine stance, has released an article asserting a 3,000% surge in deaths in New Zealand over the past two years. The article underscores that this increase is observed in a population with a high COVID-19 vaccination rate. 

However, the article fails to provide an explanation of the methodology used to gather this data, and it does not reference any credible source for fact-checking. In contrast, official statements attribute the rise in New Zealand’s death toll to both COVID-19 and the aging demographic. 

They allege that in 2022, there was an increase of approximately 5,200 deaths in New Zealand compared to 2020, asserting that this signifies a surge of up to 3,000%.

A reputable fact-checking portal “Raskrikavanje” brought light to the false information “Nulta Tačka” has been spreading. “Raskrikavanje” said that if their calculation were accurate, based on the fact that around 32.5 thousand people died in New Zealand in 2020, a 3,000% increase in deaths would amount to one million deaths, equating to one-fifth of the population!

Contrary to the grim assertion, official statistics paint a different picture. In 2020, New Zealand documented 32,613 deaths, whereas in 2022, the figure rose to 38,574. From a statistical perspective, this signifies an increase of approximately 18%, leaving the claim of a 3,000% rise unclear, reported “Raskrikavanje”.

The Ministry of Health in New Zealand attributes the surge in deaths to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Statistics Agency, the number of deaths in New Zealand in 2022 was 10.4% higher than in 2021.
