“Almost all the political parties competing for our vote in November have put up a united front pretending that the health crisis is solely due to mismanagement and lack of resources.

This shows a complete misunderstanding of the depth of the crisis and its timing, which coincided with the vaccine rollout”.

Guy Hatchard is an international advocate of food safety and natural medicine.

He was formerly a senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food safety testing and certification laboratory.

We spent an hour discussing four of his latest commentaries:  The Pretence of Certainty, The Enemy Within, Prominent mRNA Advocate and Scientist Changes his Mind, and lastly Forewarned is Forearmed.

A report just published by the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine is headed  "New Zealand State of Emergency 2026”.

And finally, we look into The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

So, without restriction, Leighton continues to serve up on everything you want to hear about and some things you don’t. Stand by to be enlightened, educated and enraged!
