Unprecedented excess deaths in 2023!

Media Release 20 August 2023

Right to Life asks why are more people than usual dying in 2023 in New Zealand? Why is the government not conducting an urgent enquiry into the unprecedented excess deaths and dramatic reduction in live births in New Zealand since the introduction of the Pfizer Covid 19 mRNA experimental gene therapy in February 2021.

Excess deaths in New Zealand in 2023 were 14% above the 2018/2019 number of deaths. There were also 28% less live births in 2023 compared with 2018/19 prior to the pandemic. This is a horrendous and unprecedented increase in deaths.

Statistics NZ report for the year ending 30 June 2023

• 57,534 live births were registered, down from 60,009 in 2022.

• 38,346 deaths were registered, up from 36,723 in 2022.

• natural increase (births minus deaths) was 19,185, down from 23,280

• the total fertility rate was 1.61 births per woman, down from 1.69.

As the natural population replacement birthrate level is 2.1 births per woman, it means our nation is committing demographic suicide.

There were 38,442 deaths among all ages for July 2022-June 2023 compared to 33,753 deaths in the 2018/19 comparable period. This is an increase of 4,689 deaths (14%), which occurred at a rate of 90 excess deaths per week.

Deaths among 15 to 64 year olds have increased by 6%. Figures released by the Household Labour Force Survey reports rates of disability sufficient to preclude joining the workforce among this age group have increased by 37.5% over the same period and now stand at 14.3% of the workforce.

Why is there such an alarming and dramatic increase in disabilities in working age people in our country?

Right to Life is concerned that the natural live birth increase (births minus deaths) fell from 26,500 in 2018/19 to 19 185 in 2022/23 a decrease of 7400 or 28%. This is an absolutely unprecedented drop. Nothing like this has been recorded previously.

The government continues to promote the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine and is encouraging people to continue taking boosters as they claim they are safe and effective!

A dramatic increase in excess deaths following the introduction of Covid-19 vaccines is being recorded across the world.

Why is there not a public outcry about this increase?
