Unintended consequences are by definition unforeseen.
Unintended consequences arise as an unintended result of purposeful actions or policies. Against the initiating actions or policies and their objectives the resultant unintended consequences may, with respect to the aims, confer unexpected benefits, unexpected damages and perverse effects. Robert K. Merton, an eminent American sociologist is credited with a description and analysis of the phenomenon, outlined in his essay, ‘The unanticipated consequences of purposive social action’. Merton RK (1936): AmSocRev 1:6;894 - 904
Merton engaged in a systematic sociological analysis of the phenomenon and asserted that such an analysis had been delayed by an historical association with the ‘transcendent’ and with ‘ethics’. This implied that a metaphysical or values attribution, when applied consciously or unconsciously post hoc to unforeseen consequences, served to provide an explanation that arrested further inquiry.
Authoritative actions and political explanations (as we have learned to our profound cost) are often accepted at face value from authoritative entities. Add a relentless crash diet of reinforcement from the propaganda arm of state funded media, and 4/5 of the populous (in New Zealand) compliantly succumb or are conned, or resignedly bow to coercion ~ at least initially.
‘Nothing To See Here, Move On’
An explanation inhibits further consideration. This seems the current standard operating practice of NZ authorities coupled with their longstanding practice of artful dodging, a technique employed to avoid responding to a request for information made under the Official Information Act. The miracle here is that the tyrannical NZGOV actually remains (theoretically) concerned about requests made under OIAs. There seems a lesson for the learning here: citizens need to come to appreciate their power more fully.
As many of us see now, the silent and derisible ‘inexplicable’ tsunami of injuries, sickness and death ridiculously trumpeted as ‘rare’ by authorities is the monster in the house. As the monster grows by the day so does the crumbling of manufactured explanations. Snake-oil salesmen have precious little to run on, once the game is up. To wit:
We analyse the relation between covid-19 vaccinations and all-cause-mortality in N=340 Dutch municipalities (17.3M people, ~99% of population), during the entire pandemic period. We do not use covid-19-attributed mortality, mortality predictions and excess mortality, thereby bypassing the ambiguities of case-identification and mortality-modeling. Municipal demographics such as age, culture and population density are strong confounders of mortality and vaccine-uptake. We account for these by normalizing results to prepandemic year 2019, where covid was absent but demographics were highly representative for later years. Normalized to 2019, we found no correlation between municipal mortality in 2020 with vaccination uptake in 2021, which shows the effectiveness of our confounder accounting. We could not observe a mortality-reducing effect of vaccination in Dutch municipalities after vaccination and booster campaigns. We did find a 4-sigma-significant mortality-enhancing effect during the two periods of high unexplained excess mortality. Our results add to other recent findings of zero mRna-vaccine effectiveness on all-cause mortality, calling for more research on this topic.
Over-paid hollow establishment figurines continue to be rewarded for studiously denying ‘experimental injections’ as a potential cause. Surely they realise that they are increasingly exposed for their ethical bankuptcy, an apparent deficiency from the beginning in 2020, not to mention their scientific incompetence and the injuries and deaths that they have directly caused.
Meanwhile, the frantic cacophony of, ‘look over here’ the instigation of multiple societal and economy wrecking-agendas-of-opportunity, probably better referred to as an implementation of Cloward-Piven strategy, a plethora of Trojan Horse initiatives, appears in full swing.
Hat tip and nod to the puppeteers of the WEF cult. Bring the West to its knees and “save it” with the Gullible Re-Set.
“Rare”
There are many definitions of ‘rare’. Dictionaries typically define rare as: not common or usual : not often done, seen, or happening, seldom occurring or found.
The WHO defines rare as
Very common means 1 in 10 — 1 out of every 10 people (or more) taking that medicine will experience that side effect.
Common means more than 1 in 100 — between one in 10 and one in 100 people are affected
Uncommon means more than 1 in 1,000 — between one in 100 and one in 1,000 people are affected
Rare means more than 1 in 10,000 — between one in 1,000 and one in 10,000 people are affected
Very Rare means more than 1 in 10,000+ — fewer than one in 10,000 people are affected
In New Zealand, currently, according to the MOH 4,029,845 people have received at least one Pfizer dose.
The number of adverse events reported to MedSafe (June 30) 62,937 of which 3,452 were deemed ‘serious’. (The next report, Aug 31, is imminent).
ie: approximately 1 : 64 have an adverse reaction (common), while 1 : 1,167 sustain a serious adverse reaction (rare).
Assume NZ population at 5.2M and acknowledge a significant likelihood of under-reporting.
If fewer than 1% of adverse events are reported for established, fully tested vaccines (see below ~ of which these are clearly neither), then we might reasonable anticipate at 10% reporting, 11,167 serious adverse events (1 : 466 whole NZ population ~ uncommon), at 50% reporting, 55,835 serious adverse events (1 : 93 of the whole NZ population ~ common), and at 100% reporting, 111,670 serious adverse events (1 : 47 of the whole NZ population ~ common).
Serious adverse events include death. Time will tell. So will excess deaths.
Whatever the political, media, and medical acrobatics, (think: lies, damned lies and statistics) one simply cannot hide a tsunami of death. They are already having severe trouble with that elsewhere in the World, where “unexplained death” is now listed as the leading cause of death.
The skewered data
Orchestrating the appearance of a problem, to wit:
NZ MOH “COVID” death attribution (Details of COVID-19 deaths): All deaths where someone has died within 28 days of being reported as having a positive test result for COVID-19 are now reported.
Nonsensical of course, but bizarrely the ‘lemming’ justification for this is applied, with a hat-tip to corporate globalist diktat: This approach is in-line with that taken by other countries — such as the United Kingdom
The disingenuous and deliberate installation of a substantial over-reporting bias by saying: … it ensures that all cases of COVID-19 who die are formally recorded to help provide an accurate assessment of the impact of COVID-19.
Notice the bait and switch, how clinically meaningless “cases” become “COVID-19” ~ arbitrarily within 28 days ~ and are then linked to death.
However, the NZ MOH recently switched its definition of 'deceased' from deaths within 28 days of testing positive for COVID-19 to deaths attributed to COVID-19. ‘Deceased’ includes all deaths where COVID-19 is determined to have been the underlying cause of death or a contributory cause of death.
Reported in the NZ MSM, Officials will automatically report all deaths of people who die within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 – a similar approach used by the United Kingdom and other countries
The ministry will also report a total number of people who died with Covid-19, including some who died more than 28 days after being diagnosed, though this is now be broken into three categories, which will see the number of attributed deaths decline:
Those where it is clear that Covid-19 was the cause of death
Those who had (or were subsequently found to have) Covid-19 when they died, but their cause of death was clearly not Covid-19 related
And those who cause of death was still being investigated but it is known that they had Covid-19 when they died.
Obfuscation?
NZ medical institutions and government have relentlessly pounded the sand elevating COVID deaths while impeding the discovery and attribution of deaths and injuries from the experimental injections. An irrational political effort to impose as many injections as possible on the populous is underway.
New Zealand Ministry Of Health obfuscation is legion: “Like all medicines, the COVID-19 vaccine may cause side effects in some people. These are common, are usually mild, don’t last long and won’t stop people from having the second dose or going about daily life. Serious allergic reactions do occur but are extremely rare.”
…“like all medicines” … nothing about the Pfizer experimental synthetic gene nanoparticle novel, test-lite injection resembles, “all medicines,” not by a country mile. It is assumed that “all medicines” receive prolonged rigorous trials and testing, which is definitively and explicitly not the case for the Pfizer synthetic gene, lipid nanoparticle product. And don’t let a ‘usually’ ‘common’ ‘side effect’ get in the way of a second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth shot. The inclusion of toxic polyethylene glycol in the injection constituents may be associated with severe reactions. Just hope you’re not one of them.
Because the compliant, conned and coerced public (and politicians?) are unwitting, consent-lite lab rats in a running novel experiment, they need to be keenly aware that they can and should readily report adverse events. We already know that ‘vaccine’ related adverse events are reported rather infrequently, almost not at all, even though adverse events associated with these novel injections monumentally surpasses the cumulative reporting of adverse events of all vaccinations since the inception of the US (or any) vaccine adverse events reporting system. The numbers are utterly mind boggling, but not quite as mind boggling as the studious blindness demonstrated by a possessed political and media elite.
Harvard Pilgrim Study
Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but under-reported. Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of “problem” drugs and vaccines that endanger public health.
Keep to the forefront of your mind that the Harvard Pilgrim report above referred to the under-reporting of supposedly ‘thoroughly’ tested and trialled injections.
The current Pfizer experimental, test-lite, novel, synthetic gene and lipid nanoparticle cocktails in New Zealand inhabit a unique category of intentionally censored, formally ‘encouraged’ under-reporting all of their own. The under-reporting should be anticipated, as a result, to be far below 1% , while the serious systemic adverse events and death will be unimaginable (but not invisible).
And In The End?
The final results of this medical and political travesty are perhaps a decade away. By then the WEF cult and their 2030 ‘final solution’ will have been locked into place unless people awaken and reject both it and them. Authorities well know that under-reporting of injection injuries or death occurs by orders of magnitude. Nonetheless despite their treachery, this networked age in which we live moves orders of magnitude faster than it ever used to.
Lies with short legs will be caught very much faster, something that is becoming readily apparent and is I believe, very much an unintended consequence.
While injury and death from Pfizer injections is confounded by a negative reporting bias, and while all cases and deaths from “COVID” are beset with a conglomeration of falsity and positive reporting bias, as we can see, the explosion in the “inexplicable” excess deaths will reveal the inevitable conclusion.
Furthermore, one of the many ethical travesties on display is that in a health trial or experiment it is unfailingly incumbent, nay, an absolute requirement of those running the intervention to prove that any deleterious consequence is not due to the intervention. Evidently, this is yet another ethical tenet that has been politically and medically erased.
Drawing Lines Between Dots: From Chaos To Coherence
There is ample reference to the phenomenon of unintended consequences ~ both biblical and literal. I find that I have been increasingly haunted by the idea since January 2020 because the uninvited, unelected, unelectable supranational corporate globalist entities spearheaded by the Davos Cabal of the World Economic Forum (WEF), a cult of dissociated people desperately searching for personal relevance and meaning, have been driving a regressive Agenda through top down diktat. The diktat aspires to specific trajectories and outcomes that are by the very nature an expression of diabolical social engieering, possessing altogether a constellation of uncertain consequences.
Absolute power [wealth] corrupts absolutely
I wondered what existential meaning might exist in the mind of a secular post modern hedonist, pursuing a sybaritic lifestyle of infinite convenience with infinite wealth? One imagines the possible existence of an underlying quiet desperation to avoid the omnipresent black cloud of boredom? There appears an unpleasant existential counterpoint to this, namely the readily and discretely available distractions of psychological and physical addiction. Worst of all, an over inflated hubris pumped from a daily diet of flattery, massaged by a coterie of overpaid and trusted sycophants, might easily become an overwhelming source of narcissistic grandiosity. The idea that controlling the World and its peoples in one’s image could lead to true fulfillment for all, but most especially for oneself, seems rather a tempting delusion.
Post Script
The 21st Century has got off to a rip roaring first quarter as multitudes awaken with a united and resounding, NO, or at the very least a gut instinct that something in play is deeply amiss.
This is a readily apparent product of our networked age, where events unfold with greater rapidity, while individuals, institutes and communities coalesce quickly around common observations, concerns and aims when confronted with an inflicted faux-crisis focused on the expedition of tyrannical over-reach.
The World Health Council is emblematic of this awakening response, so is the Brownstone Institute, so too is New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out With Science, so too Dr Sam Bailey and Dr Mark Bailey and so too is Voices For Freedom. Globally, there exists now a countless multitude of innumerable examples in alternate media and across the World, all united by their deep distress and concerns, by the trashing of science and data, the obfuscation around consequential death and the dis-establishment of medical, civilised and scientific ethics.
As the Dutch study cited at the beginning stated: We do not use covid-19-attributed mortality, mortality predictions and excess mortality, thereby bypassing the ambiguities of case-identification and mortality-modeling.
(realise that ‘vaccine’ effectiveness is likewise modeled ~ there are no formal proper controls)
While most appeared to have forgotten the lessons of history and politics or as likely never received them in the first place, the cultivation of fear left many clamorous to be saved. The latter is political and corporate opium that also happens to be the drug of choice for the supranational bodies and that notable WEF cult lurking in the Alpine shadows of Davos.
Global polices of mandated experimental synthetic polynucleotide and lipid nanoparticle injections were instigated and implemented with little rationale beyond a fabricated stage of fear in a theatre of propaganda. The fact that science left the room with the abandonment of formal experimental controls once emergency use authorisation had been granted, was a literal and figurative dead-end. The subsequent reliance on ‘black box’ modeling of effectiveness was beyond troubling. It was a glaring betrayal.
The astonishingly rapid and willful destruction of civil liberties and the action-in-concert of a wide range of hitherto disparate entities has led to a rapidly awakening portion of the population. Corporations, bureaucracies, and government, institutions claiming to be bulwarks of civilisation and society revealed themselves as nothing more than hollowed-out, post-modern puppets.
On the other hand, the quest for liberty and reason became a sacred ground owned by an expanding network of individuals. It is replete with purpose and has grown into groups and communities. It has developed into powerful platforms far eclipsing the propaganda arms of tyranny, the legacy media. The latter have been reduced to a pathetic, noisy cliché.
The apparent corruption of science, ethics and commerce enabled by light-weight politicians has been exposed, and far more. Virology has succumbed to a long overdue critical analysis and growing scrutiny. Such are the unintended consequences of a gigantic schedule of childhood vaccination daily more apparent, exposed by the current WEF over-reach in play.
And all the while, the public trust in media, medicine, government, institutions and corporations wanes. Skepticism is stalking the forest while conspiracies increasingly flee for the shadows.
Unintended consequences? Yep. By the legion.
I love your optimism, although can't share it.
Very well done.
