Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic involved the rapid deployment of novel biomedical technologies. Chief among them were synthetic RNAs, introduced with limited longitudinal data, yet supported by institutional consensus, and expedited regulatory pathways. Subsequent developments revealed questions regarding safety, ethics, efficacy, and governance. This formal review, with specific reference to New Zealand, examines the COVID-19 response, using synthetic RNA distributed under Emergency Use Authorizations. A range of post-deployment signals, including immunological anomalies (IgG4 class switching), clotting disorders, and residual DNA elements, remain insufficiently investigated. Regulatory responses have not met the standard of precaution typically applied to novel gene therapies. At the same time, low-cost interventions such as ivermectin were de-prioritized, or suppressed. The temporal association between vaccine rollouts and excess non-COVID mortality in several high-uptake nations warrants systematic, transparent analysis. To date, no national authority has published comprehensive disaggregated mortality data by vaccination status.

Author Biography

  • Bruce Rapley, Consultant and Independent Researcher, Smart Technology, New Zealand

    Bruce Rapley began his training with a Bachelor of Science in biological systems, with specific expertise in microbiology, cytogenetics, brain physiology and behavior, and public health. He holds postgraduate Masters qualifications in medical instrumentation design and testing, including bioelectromagnetics, and he earned his PhD in psychoacoustics, focusing on the health of Defense Force personnel. He has developed monitoring technologies for acoustic health environments and is the author many books, 7 of them on the COVID-19 pandemic, and the global vaccine response. He continues to collaborate internationally on scientific and policy research while making complex science accessible to general audiences through his writing and public lectures.
