New Zealand, Pfizer Relationship

Anna McAfee made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

Response to this request is long overdue. By law Ministry of Health should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Anna McAfee

Dear Ministry of Health,

Can you assure the public that there are no clauses in the contract between the New Zealand Government, and Pfizer - that would require the New Zealand government to change laws in order to honor the contract?

For example;

“if there are any laws or regulations in your country under which Pfizer could be prosecuted, you agree to CHANGE THE LAW OR REGULATION to close that off.”

Can you also assure the public that there are NO clauses within the contract between the New Zealand government and Pfizer, that would limit or (in any way) suppress the use of other treatments, such as Ivermectin.

Yours faithfully,

Anna McAfee
