My name is Alanna Ratna. My name when practising medicine was Alanna O’Leary. My MCNZ registration number was 21318. I am a retired general practitioner. I have not worked since 2006. I ceased seeing myself as a doctor 19 years ago. I am a mother raising my son who has recently turned 13.
I have not held an annual practicing certificate for 19 years. My last APC expired in 2006. I have seen no patients since 2006.
In late 2020 I began researching the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine and became seriously alarmed at what I discovered.
The vaccine was being rushed to market with no chance of assessment for medium- to long-term safety concerns.
It was made using cationic experimental lipid nanoparticles which to this day are labelled as hazardous substances for laboratory use only and which have never been deemed safe for use in humans or animals.
The vaccine had not been deemed safe for pregnant women or children, either by Medsafe or by any equivalent health agency abroad.
The Pfizer trials had been unblinded part way through and all placebo participants given the actual vaccine, thereby destroying any meaningful chance for future comparisons between vaccinated and unvaccinated trial members.
The vaccine was not even a vaccine but a novel gene-therapy product. It was made using E coli plasmids and has since been found to be heavily contaminated with DNA, including with the oncogenic SV40 promotor sequence. This DNA has now been found to integrate into the human genome both in vitro and in vivo.
Pfizer reported that its vaccine shows a 95 per cent efficacy. That sounds like it protects you 95 per cent of the time but that’s not actually what that number means. That 95 per cent refers to the Relative Risk Reduction (RRR), but it doesn’t tell you how much your overall risk is reduced by vaccination. For that, we need Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR).
During the Pfizer trial, 0.88 per cent of the placebo group got Covid-19 and 0.04 per cent of the vaccinated group got Covid-19. So the ARR or net benefit that you’re being offered with the Pfizer vaccine is 0.84 per cent.
Relative Risk Reduction is well known to be a misleading number, which is why the FDA recommends using Absolute Risk Reduction instead, which begs the question of how many people would have chosen to take the Covid-19 vaccines had they understood that they offered less than one per cent benefit.
The vaccine did not prevent transmission. It was never developed to prevent transmission yet Ardern and Bloomfield told the nation that it did.
A recent OIA to the MOH asking about why they said the vaccine stopped transmission was replied to by stating that the public had simply assumed it stopped transmission. (OIA “COVID-19 Chief Executives Board Minutes, 23 Nov 2021” see page 7, point 4.3)
If that was the case, why then did the MOH not correct this wrong assumption and why did Ardern on so many occasions appear on screen saying that ‘if you take the vaccine you will not get Covid’?
I shall tell you why: she was lying and she knew it.
They said that if you took the vaccine you would not get or spread Covid. They based the mandates on this lie. The mandates were pointless because the vaccine could not stop the spread of the virus.
The mandates injured and killed people and destroyed families and friendships and businesses.
The MCNZ must have known that there was no basis for the mandates given that the vaccine did not prevent transmission, yet they said nothing.
The MCNZ allowed the health of the people they are supposed to protect to be devastated.
If the members of the MCNZ knew about all of the above (which they should have) and did nothing, then they should resign on the basis of malfeasance. If they did not know then they are incompetent and should all resign immediately on the basis of their incompetence.
The vaccine did not stay in the arm at the injection site but was instead distributed within 48 hours to every organ system in the body including the brain, liver, testicles and ovaries. This was information available in early 2021 based on a Japanese requested Pfizer bio-distribution study.
If the normal man in the street with no medical education could locate and understand this study, then Bloomfield et al should absolutely have known about it yet they continue to this day to say that the vaccine stays in the arm at the injection site. A downright lie.
In late 2020 I had seen a presentation given by Pfizer to the FDA on the 22nd of October 2020 which contained the now infamous Slide 16, which listed stroke, heart attack, myocarditis, paralysis, multi-organ failure and death as expected vaccine side effects.
This slide was available to the whole world on the internet and yet Bloomfield and Ardern and the MCNZ stated that the vaccine was completely safe and the MCNZ told practising doctors that they were not to say anything at all negative about the vaccine to anyone.
Just look at that list of expected vaccine side effects, which include death. Do you think that looks like a safe vaccine? I didn’t think so.
In April 2021 the MCNZ issued a directive to all practising doctors that stated that doctors were not to give informed consent for the vaccine.
This was a complete negation of the cornerstone of medical practice.
Doctors were told that aside from saying there might be a slightly sore arm at the injection site or a slight post-injection fever, only the positive aspects of the vaccine were to be discussed with patients. No negative effects were to be discussed.
This means that none of the known and expected adverse effects were to be discussed at all. The consequence of giving patients informed consent would be disciplinary procedures.
This was at a time when in the UK and USA and Israel the side effects (including death, myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombotic events etc) were being registered in huge numbers.
The MCNZ was in effect telling all practising doctors to lie to their patients. This should ring enormous alarm bells.
All of these things were warning signals for me. I could not understand why our government and the MCNZ was saying that the vaccine was safe and effective when it was clearly not safe and not effective.
Behind closed doors the MCNZ were actually calling it a ‘zero-risk’ vaccine. Were they insane? Zero-risk when there was no possible way to know the long-term or medium-term side effects and when such horrific short-term side effects were already being reported.
Then people I loved started to be seriously adversely affected by the vaccine.
My previously completely well and highly fit mother had a massive heart attack 19 hours after her first vaccine and spent five nights on ICU. Prior to this she had cycled on a non-electric bike up to 30 km every day.
I tried to seek an exemption for my mother’s second vaccine but was told that she did not qualify and must have it at the hospital in the coronary care ward with a crash cart next to her bed in case she died. This is such a ludicrous proposition that has been made to a number of people. No amount of short-term monitoring could prevent an event happening several hours or days later.
My friend’s fit and healthy sister in her 30s died of multiple pulmonary emboli 48 hours after her first vaccine.
A local port worker died a day after his vaccine.
My healthy, soccer-playing neighbour aged 48 with two little children died with a massive heart attack following his vaccine.
A local orthopaedic surgeon dropped dead whilst operating after his vaccine.
Two of my friends each had a niece with post vaccine myocarditis – one of whom was admitted on five separate occasions to Tauranga Hospital ICU due to this.
Then they rolled it out to children. People started contacting me about children who had died following their vaccine. A 13-year-old Tauranga boy. A 13-year-old Wellington boy. A 12-year-old Takapuna child. A 16-year-old girl from Northland. A 17-year-old girl from Auckland.
I started to speak out. I could not not speak out. It would have been unconscionable not to speak out. It would have gone against my Hippocratic Oath which was still firmly in place despite not being a practising doctor.
I spoke at a local freedom picnic in Mount Maunganui and then at another in Tauranga.
I spoke specifically as a mother who happened to be a retired doctor. I never once said or implied that I was a practising doctor.
Twelve local doctors complained about me. They claimed that I was spreading misinformation when I was using published research to back up every single claim that I had made.
The truth was that those 12 local doctors were the ones spreading misinformation by lying to their patients that the vaccine had no adverse effects beyond a slight fever and slightly sore arm.
By this stage other countries who were six months ahead of us in the vaccine roll-out were starting to see severe side effects and papers were being published high-lighting concerns. Highly respected overseas specialists were speaking out and being censored.
I sent my concerns to the MCNZ, thinking that the role of the MCNZ was to protect the public. I had faith in them. They state on their website:
We protect the public and promote good medical practice.
But they ignored me. They totally ignored my concerns and instead in late 2021 they sent me a letter asking me to sign a voluntary undertaking to not say anything negative about the vaccine or masking or mandates or anything at all to do with the government’s Covid response.
The MCNZ turned a blind eye to the mounting concerns regarding the vaccine and the government’s Covid response and instead commenced a witch hunt of those who had the courage and ethics to stand up and warn people.
A witch hunt against the people who were, in effect, doing the very job that the MCNZ was itself failing to do.
Because I refused to sign the voluntary undertaking – they had no jurisdiction over me anyway as I was not bound by the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (HPCAA) as I was not a health practitioner – they launched, via their Professional Conduct Committee, an investigation into me.
I was still registered with the Medical Council even though I was not practising. The last contact before my disciplinary issues was in 2014 when the MCNZ asked me by email if I would like to stay registered and I said yes because I thought that that would keep the door open to me to return to medicine once my child was old enough.
Of note is that the MCNZ never sent to me the Covid-19 Guidance Statement that it sent to all practising doctors in April 2021 which stated that no doctor was to say anything negative about the Pfizer vaccine – i.e., no doctor was to give their patient a chance of true informed consent.
When they contacted me about ‘spreading misinformation’, I said please de-register me as I do not wish to be part of your obviously corrupt organisation. It would have been a simple zero-cost action for them to do that.
However, they refused to de-register me, instead deciding to take me through lengthy, costly, stressful legal proceedings for speaking out in public to warn pregnant women and children about the dangers of the vaccine and the dangers of masking children. For doing the very job that they themselves should have been doing.
So, despite my not being a practising doctor they referred me to the Health Practitioners’ Disciplinary Tribunal (HPDT). I informed them many times that as I was not a health practitioner and I did not fall under their jurisdiction and hence would not attend.
There was also no point in my attending as I knew that the tribunal would not listen to anything that I had to say. A friend of mine had been through the process a few months before me. He is a respiratory physician and radiologist – now unable to work in NZ due to the actions of the MCNZ. He had hired one of NZ’s top lawyers – a King’s Counsel – and had put together a 2000-page bundle of evidence of published literature from reputable science and medical journals in support of his case and the tribunal refused to look at any of his evidence because they said it did not come from the New Zealand government Covid website information files.
So what chance would I have had if I had attended the tribunal hearing? I would have had zero chance: unable to afford any lawyer, no medical protection insurance and inadmissible evidence (inadmissible because it did not fit the NZ government narrative.) The outcome was a foregone conclusion.
The HPDT trial went ahead without me. This was a three-day event in Tauranga at an expensive inner city conference centre to which they flew their so-called expert witnesses and panel members and paid for them to stay in an expensive hotel.
This resulted in their (fully Covid-19 vaccinated tribunal panel who were instructed not to look at any evidence except for official New Zealand government approved evidence) finding me guilty of misconduct and of bringing the medical profession into disrepute. This despite their knowing full well that I do not agree that I come under their jurisdiction.
It is ironic really because the MCNZ has brought the medical profession into disrepute all on its own by knowingly lying to the public and by ignoring the mounting evidence of serious vaccine induced harm and death.
Note, that prior to my being put into their witch-hunt wheel in late 2021, RORY NAIRN had already been killed by the vaccine and the MCNZ knew this.
Despite clearly not liking me, the MCNZ refused to cut me free via de-registration. I sent them three equity letters requesting de-registration and again they refused.
I do not know why they refused. It would have cost them nothing to de-register me at that point in time. My only guess is that they wanted to destroy me because I was exposing them for what they truly are – incompetent and dangerous.
The MCNZ was also well aware that my not having held a practicing certificate for 16 years (19 now) meant that I had no insurance cover for any costs that night be passed on to me through their corrupt disciplinary process.
I think that they intentionally took me through expensive and unnecessary tribunal processes purely to cause me the greatest possible stress and financial loss as a punishment for not agreeing with them. I think their actions amount to vexatious, malicious, bullying and harassment.
The whole thing should never have eventuated, but it is worth pointing out that they could easily have held the trial at a much lesser cost by Zoom, given that the only reason it was in Tauranga was that that was where I lived and I had made it very clear to them that I had no intention of attending.
I reminded them many times prior to the HPDT trial that I said to them that they were wasting their money as the only possible outcome of the trial would be my de-registration which I had already requested that they do for free back in late 2021.
Instead they ignored me and proceeded in July 2023 with the aforementioned HPDT trial and found me guilty and my punishment was censure, costs and de-registration.
This decision was handed down in January 2024 with the HPDT having been held in July 2023 and the initial MCNZ complaint about me being in late 2021. The whole ridiculous disciplinary trial cost them $178,000 of which they decreed I should pay 60 per cent which amounts to $107,000.
They said they were using me as an example and as a deterrent. I told them that I shall not pay any costs at all because I am not under the jurisdiction of the HPCA Act and because they chose to spend that money when I had asked them to achieve the same outcome for free.
Their actions are purely malevolent and intended to destroy me.
They could do nothing else but de-register me because I have no job to lose as I am retired.
So they spent all of this money doing something that I had requested them to do for free.
It is now almost three full years since they started proceedings against me and the stress is enormous for me and my family, especially for my 13-year-old son.
As I have not held an APC for 19 years, I am not insured so I was expected to pay the 107,000 dollars out of my own money which I do not have.
On top of all of the above the MCNZ has written to Medical Councils all through the Commonwealth to say that I have been de-registered due to malpractice. This is defamation and leaves a stain on my reputation. This is insanity and is vexatious, malicious, bullying of me by the MCNZ.
I have done nothing wrong whatsoever. I have committed no crime, I have not malpracticed and I have hurt no one. I have simply spoken the truth and upheld my oath to first do no harm.
There is no way that I could have not spoken out when I knew the harms of the jab. To have not spoken out would have been unethical, unconscionable, immoral and against my oath.
I therefore chose to take the MCNZ to the High Court to try and have the decision over-turned. I was not hopeful as the MCNZ deputy chair is lawyer Simon Watts, the very same lawyer who negotiated the Pfizer vaccine purchase agreement for the NZ government. Simon Watts was placed on the MCNZ in Nov 2022 as one of the lay people after the forced resignation of Richard Aston who attempted to stop the witch hunting of doctors like myself.
My High Court case was held on 7 April 2025 in Hamilton and the judge was Justice J VAN BOHEMEN.
At the commencement of proceedings, Justice van Bohemen made clear his position regarding the Pfizer vaccine by stating that he believed in the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.
To me this suggests either that the government propaganda was extremely effective or that the Pfizer contract was in play.
We know from other countries that the contracts between Pfizer and governments state that no government employee may say anything negative about the Pfizer vaccine or about Pfizer itself. This is a big part of why court cases to date have failed, for example cases where one parent wants the child vaccinated for Covid and the other parent does not. Those cases will always be won by the vaccinating parent otherwise the judge – a government employee – will be suggesting that there might be something negative about the Pfizer vaccine.
Shortly before the hearing, I was informed that I could not speak and that my entire affidavit had been retracted at the request of the MCNZ. So all we had to go on was what was already published in the government arena, which is the 58 conditions that Medsafe said back in 2021 must be answered regarding the vaccine but which have to date not been addressed. The judge didn’t know of those and I do not know whether he investigated them afterwards. If he had, he would have surely understood that the MCNZ is wrong to accuse me of spreading misinformation.
The decision took just over five months to be delivered. I received it on Monday 15 September. The judge dismissed part of the tribunal’s findings – the part where I was found to have hurt the feelings of the members of the MCNZ by suggesting that they might like to familiarise themselves with the Nuremberg Code and trials.
The remainder he upheld. He reduced the $107,000 fine down to $53,900, saying this was a fairer amount.
He did not ask the MCNZ to retract the defamatory letters that they had sent to the Medical Councils of the other Commonwealth countries and he did not alter their statement that I am not to give any medical advice to anyone ever including my family and that I am not allowed to use any of the information that I learnt in medical school or as a doctor for any purpose at all including if I re-train as a teacher or allied health professional. They did say I can use my CPR skills in an emergency.
So now I am left with a large amount of money to pay. I have no medical protection insurance as I have not worked as a doctor for years.
The actions of the MCNZ and the HPDT are nothing but corrupt, malicious, vexatious bullying. The actions of the judge are at best influenced by propaganda and at worst are corrupt.
That is my story. Thank you for taking the time to read it.
