Subject: Official Information request - Comment on Vaccine Side Effects in Children

Dear Children's Commissioner,

Can you immediately comment if you are closely monitoring the adverse reactions side effects from the Covid-19 vaccine in children.

The risk to a healthy child who gets Covid-19 and has to go to hospital is 44 per 1,000,000 a % of 0.0044%. Already there are 2,300 adverse reactions in children out of a total of 43,000 which is circa 5.5%. Some of these include permanent heart issues, brain heamorrage, anaphalactic shock, bells palsy amongst many more serious.

To date Pfizer will not disclose the ingredients (they are meant to by International Law) and the trials are not complete until the end of 2023. Can you please provide comment and liaise with Medsafe to have this shut down as the government is now complicit in a drug trial.

Yours faithfully,

Chris

Effects in Children

 

Dear children (OCC),

 

That is disappointing to say the least.  Can I revise my request.

 

Can you please provide all emails between the Childrens Commissioner and
any health agency, government agency, that discusses commentary on the
vaccine.

 

Along with this request I will be sure to update the commissioner with a
request each week on the number of side effects occuring each week in
children.  At what point of the number is he willing to advocate?

 

Is it 5,000 injuries? 10,000 injuries? 15,000 injuries? Maybe the first
death?

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Chris

Tēnā koe Mr McCashin

The Office of the Children’s Commissioner does not have a specific age in which we will make a comment on a topic. Our legislative mandate is to advocate for the rights, interests and wellbeing of all children and young people up to the age of 18 years.

The Commissioner stands by the position that children aged 5 and over should be vaccinated to protect them, their whānau and hapori from the serious effects of Covid-19 infection.

Therefore, your request is refused under section 18(e) of the Act.

Please contact the Ministry of Health or MedSafe for further information on this topic. They are best placed to answer questions regarding Covid-19 and the vaccines.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Dear Kathleen Logan,

Death of a 13 year old now and no comment from the commissioner. And they are now trying to jab 5 year olds.
What is the age when the commissioner makes a comment?
There will be children dying as they are overseas yet the commissioner is silent.

Yours sincerely,

Chris McCashin
