In a move that reeks of calculated deception, the chairman of New Zealand’s Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned, Grant Illingworth KC, recently announced via the Inquiry’s latest pānui that Phase Two’s final report is due by 26 February 2026. This “update” – dressed up as progress – emphasizes a narrow focus on “lessons learned” while explicitly sidelining the very issues that Kiwis have demanded answers on for years. It’s no coincidence: this inquiry, like Phase One, is engineered to placate the public with feel-good platitudes, all while ensuring no one – from politicians to Pfizer executives – faces real accountability for what amounts to a orchestrated campaign of harm, deception, and democide.

Let’s cut the bullshit. The people who suffered vaccine injuries, lost livelihoods to mandates, or watched loved ones die in isolation didn’t ask for a taxpayer-funded therapy session on “what we could do better next time.” They demanded justice: investigations into foreknowledge of harms, criminal negligence in vaccine rollouts, and full disclosure of the shady deals that prioritized Big Pharma profits over public health. Yet, here we are, with an inquiry that pats itself on the back for “engaging” while deliberately avoiding the hard truths.

The Smoking Gun: What’s Conveniently “Out of Scope”

Don’t take my word for it – look at the Inquiry’s own terms of reference for Phase Two. While it pretends to cover vaccines, mandates, lockdowns, and testing, the fine print reveals a laundry list of exclusions that gut any chance of real scrutiny. Here’s what they’ve declared off-limits:

– Particular clinical decisions made by clinicians or public health authorities (read: no probing into why doctors pushed jabs despite emerging risks).

– How COVID-19 measures were applied to individual cases (read: ignore the thousands of personal horror stories of mandates destroying lives).

– Approvals and regulation of vaccines other than COVID-19 ones (but even for COVID jabs, it’s superficial – no deep dive into conflicts of interest).

– The specific epidemiology of the virus, like how it spreads (read: dodge questions on whether lockdowns were based on junk science).

– Recent health system reforms (read: don’t touch the bureaucratic mess that enabled this fiasco).

– Judgements from courts, the Ombudsman, Privacy Commissioner, or Independent Police Conduct Authority (read: shield the enablers in the system).

– Operations of private businesses, unless directly tied to pandemic response (read: Pfizer and mates get a free pass).

– Reserve Bank’s monetary decisions (irrelevant here, but shows the broad brush of avoidance).

– Adaptations to court or parliamentary processes during the pandemic.

– The conduct of the general election amid COVID.

These aren’t minor omissions – they’re the core of what people wanted exposed. Vaccine safety? Sure, they’ll “monitor adverse reactions” at a high level, but forget holding anyone accountable for specific harms or cover-ups. This is “lessons learned” theater: acknowledge problems exist, recommend vague tweaks, and move on without naming names or recommending prosecutions. It’s a nothing-burger, just as predicted, designed to lull the masses into thinking the system’s self-correcting when it’s really self-protecting.

The Sellouts: VFF, RCR, and the Illusion of Influence

Enter the so-called “freedom fighters” like Voices for Freedom (VFF) and Reality Check Radio (RCR), who hyped Phase Two as a breakthrough. VFF boasted in their year-end wrap-up that their petition with over 34,000 signatures “forced the government to expand Phase Two” to include vaccine safety, proudly noting meetings with commissioners described as “incredibly illuminating.” They crowed about getting a “seat at the table,” as if chit-chatting with bureaucrats equals justice.

What they really meant: thanks for the donations, suckers – we’ll keep the propaganda flowing while pretending this sham inquiry is a win.

RCR was no better, launching a campaign declaring Phase Two “finally asking the hard questions” on vaccines, mandates, and lockdowns. They urged Kiwis to share stories, framing it as accountability in action. But where’s the outrage now that the scope’s limits are clear? These groups signaled victory to their followers, only to deliver complicity in the cover-up. If they truly cared about the injured, they’d be screaming for a criminal probe, not settling for a “lessons learned” report that changes nothing.

And let’s not forget New Zealand First, the party that pushed for this in their coalition deal, promising a “full-scale, wide-ranging” inquiry. They even “agreed to disagree” with Cabinet over keeping Phase One, insisting on something tougher. Yet here we are, with the same cretins now in government, overseeing a diluted farce. Their fervent backers are the same ones burying the truth – and they’re gearing up to con voters again in the 2026 election.

The Ultimate Proof: Hiding the Pfizer Deal and Ignoring Mass Harm

If you need more evidence of active concealment, look no further than the government’s ironclad refusal to disclose the full Pfizer vaccine contract. Despite repeated demands under the Official Information Act, they’ve stonewalled, citing “commercial sensitivities” and risks to future supplies. The Chief Ombudsman upheld this secrecy in 2023, warning that release could jeopardize medicine access. Accidental leaks already pissed off suppliers, who threatened to cut ties. This isn’t protection – it’s proof of foreknowledge. The contract likely hides clauses admitting potential harms, indemnity for Pfizer, and sweetheart deals that put profits over people. By keeping it buried, the government – across parties – ensures no one proves the jab rollout was a knowing mass casualty event.

Meanwhile, the data on injuries and excess deaths piles up, but the Inquiry won’t touch individual cases. Police? They’ll raid your home over a meme, but investigating democide? Crickets. Doctors, lawyers, and officials who enforced this chain of death walk free, while victims suffer in silence.

The Lunacy of 2026: Don’t Let Them Fool You Again

This year is election year, and the same charlatans are lining up to retain power. Reelecting National, NZ First, or any party tied to this cover-up is sheer madness. They’ve proven they’ll protect the corrupt over the people every time. NZ has been shafted – twice now, with Phases One and Two – and they’re banking on short memories and apathy to stay in Parliament.

I challenge anyone – VFF, RCR, Illingworth, Luxon, Peters – to prove me wrong. Show us how this inquiry leads to arrests, compensation, or real change. You can’t, because it’s not designed to. What’s needed is a full-blown criminal investigation: subpoena the contracts, grill the decision-makers under oath, and prosecute the guilty for crimes against humanity. Anything less is lip service, and Kiwis deserve better than another whitewash.

Demand justice, New Zealand, or prepare for the next “pandemic” scam.
