Connor Garden-Bachop was 25 years old, a Highlander and Māori All Black, fit and healthy, when he died suddenly in his sleep in June 2024.The coroner recorded the cause of death as sudden death in the context of a mildly dilated heart. No underlying conditions, no drugs or alcohol, no genetic cause found. The conclusion: Connor’s death was from natural causes.
But the coroner’s report does not mention Connor’s covid ‘vaccination’.
As doctors who have had concerns about covid vaccinations since 2021, of course we have questions.It is well established that mRNA vaccination can cause myocarditis. All four formally recognised deaths due to covid vaccination in New Zealand have been from myocarditis.
A dilated heart can be an after-effect of vaccine-induced myocarditis, and damage to heart muscle cells can provide a focus for fatal arrhythmias months or even years later.Dr Peter McCullough, a world-renowned US cardiologist, has stated plainly that when a previously healthy young person dies suddenly with no obvious explanation, it should be attributed to covid vaccination and subclinical myocarditis until proven otherwise.
Connor is not alone. Eight other NZ rugby players have died suddenly and unexpectedly since 2021, including Sean Wainui, another Māori All Black, whose family confirmed he received a covid vaccination five days before his death. His coroner’s report remains unpublished more than four years later.
Our comprehensive article includes 18 medical and scientific references and raises serious questions about the coronial process, pharmacovigilance, and what is not being asked when young vaccinated New Zealanders die without explanation.
