Christchurch will host a conference featuring international specialists in oncology, ICU care, law, and behavioural science, along with speakers who have challenged mainstream health narratives surrounding COVID-19.
The conference has been organised by New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS), a group of health professionals known for their opposition to the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The group, which advocates for medical freedom, informed consent, and the right to refuse medical interventions, has been critical of vaccine mandates and the perceived lack of open scientific discourse surrounding the pandemic.
NZDSOS voiced concerns over the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, suggesting alternative treatments and challenging the media’s portrayal of vaccine safety.
Featured speakers
Professor Angus Dalgleish: An oncologist and researcher who has been at the forefront of cancer research for decades, particularly in melanoma, and has contributed to developing innovative treatments.
Dr Paul Marik: A highly cited ICU specialist and co-founder of the FLCCC, Dr Marik has worked in teaching hospitals in the U.S. and has authored over 500 peer-reviewed articles.
David Charalambous: An expert in human behaviour and communication, Charalambous integrates behavioural science, NLP, and EFT into practical systems for decision-making and communication.
David Charalambous, explores how institutions use psychological techniques to subtly influence public perception and behaviour.
He suggests that during events like the COVID-19 pandemic, a web of false beliefs was created and reinforced, shaping how people think and act.
What did “Be Kind” really mean?
He argues that institutions use behavioural nudges, manipulating the way information is presented to guide decisions without people realising they are being influenced.
He also highlights how the manipulation of language can alter the meaning of words and concepts to align with institutional agendas, leading to confusion and shaping public understanding.
By tapping into emotional vulnerabilities, institutions amplify the emotional impact of their messaging, making individuals more susceptible to influence.
Charalambous believes that groupthink and herd behaviour are encouraged, with conformity promoted and dissent discouraged, steering people to follow the majority, even when it goes against their own reasoning.
These methods, he argues, are employed to guide public opinion and behaviour in ways that benefit institutional interests.
Katie Ashby-Koppens: A lawyer with more than 20 years of experience in New Zealand and Australia, Ashby-Koppens is involved in significant legal cases and will discuss her recent work at the conference.
Dr Matt Shelton and Dr Alison Goodwin: Both doctors have over 30 years of experience in their respective medical fields and are known for their positions during the COVID-19 period.
The conference will be held at the James Hay Theatre at the Christchurch Townhall in Saturday.
