From: Chuck Schooner (Account suspended)

Dear Chris Hipkins,

As the Minister for Covid-19 response are you aware of the following international trends

- August 1, 2021 Israel it was announced half of all Covid-19 infections were among the vaccinated with signs of more serious disease among fully vaccinated in elderly
- August 5, 2021 Israel 95% of severely ill Covid patients are fully vaccinated and that they make up 85-90% of Covid hospitalisations overall
- Scotland official data of hospitalisations and deaths show 87% of those who died from Covid in the third wave were fully vaccinated
- In Gilbraltor which has a 99% vaccination rate cases have risen 2500% since June 1, 2021
- In Iceland where over 82% of people have received the shots 77% of new Covid cases are among the fully vaccinated

Were you aware that that mRNA vaccines although have been around for 20 years were never approved for use in humans due to side effects prior to this pandemic?
Can you please provide all reporting by Medsafe that highlights why these types of vaccines have never been approved before?
- If this work wasn't complete can you state why?
Can you please provide all the reporting completed and provided to you about any and all countries that are showing waves of cases where vaccination rates are high and if this has been flagged to you?
Provide the agency and who is responsible for monitoring the overseas trends - ie Medsafe, universities?
Please provide the number of people that have an unlinked case and if they are fully vaccinated in all cases as at todays date
Please confirm if people administering the vaccination they are notifying people of the risks associated as per the Medicines Act?
Please provide legal justification that has been given to yourself Ministry of Health that supports the government blatantly in breach of the Medicines Act?
When will the outstanding conditions be met by Pfizer?
Provide cost/benefit analysis of mass vaccination for a disease that has a less than 1% death rate and even less in healthy people

If it is found to be that numbers begin to increase in 3, 6 or 9 months given the push for this vaccine which I predict it will, who will be responsible and could criminal charges be laid for potentially making a healthy population sick.

Yours faithfully,

Chuck Schooner

The PDF response is scanned upside down, and not OCRd. Seriously? This is from the guy who's supposed to be in charge of the country's COVID response?

* This response claims: "The Ministry of Health (The Ministry) monitors trends in international COVID cases and pandemic response and regularly informs me of key information"

The above statement is entirely contradicted by a recent disclosure from the Ministry of Health: "Please note, the Ministry does not hold [COVID] information regarding other countries. As such, this part of your request is refused under section 18(g)(i) as the information requested is not held by the Ministry and there are no grounds for believing it is held by another agency subject to the Act." -- MOH reference H202115143 - https://fyi.org.nz/request/17382-pandemi...

From this, It seems that Chris Hipkins and/or The Ministry of Health are not being truthful. This matter should urgently be followed up with both Chris Hipkins and the Office of the Ombudsman. I will be following this up with The Ministry of Health and the Office of the Ombudsman.

* "Countries that are showing waves of cases where vaccination rates are high-such as Portugal, Iceland, Singapore, the United Kingdom - have been included in several of the Ministry's weekly international perspectives reports. Each report provides a breakdown of current case trends, vaccination rates, hospitalisations and deaths, and public health measures by country. These are provided to me each week."

Based on this statement, The Ministry of Health has provided false information (MOH reference H202115143). I will follow this up with The Ministry of Health and the Office of the Ombudsman.

The request was for for copies of this reporting. Chris Hipkins stated that these reports are provided to him weekly, but copies have not been provided. This needs to be followed up.

* "Providing relevant reports that feature high vaccination rates would require significant collation, therefore the Minister is refusing this part of your request under section 18(1) as the information requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research. The greater public interest is in the Ministry of Health and my office to be able to continue to lead the pandemic response."

Several countries do release data this way in their reports, regularly or otherwise. Is Chris Hipkins not aware of these reports? Even if the data was not released with this information pre-compiled: How does Chris Hipkins expect to form and advocate evidence-based policies without monitoring such data? If it is not the role of Chris Hipkins to form and advocate such evidence-based policies, whose role is it? Seems like a lot of finger-pointing between Chris Hipkins and The Ministry of Health, each assuming that the other is responsible for researching, forming, advocating, and enacting evidence-based public health policies. It seems that no one is in the driver's seat, at least no one who is ostensibly responsible for public health policy.

* "The Ministry monitors the effects of the pandemic in other countries. Sources include public data on deaths, hospitalisations and infections and how these are being reduced by vaccination roll-outs; scientific literature, reports on how the virus is mutating and changing in other countries; and information from global networks such as the World Health Organization. The Ministry works directly with their counterparts in Australia to better understand the effects of the pandemic there, and to learn from their experience in minimising its effects. Our pandemic response is also informed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' analysis of reports from its network of embassies and consulates."

Again, this is entirely contradicting The Ministry of Health's recent claims that they do not hold COVID information regarding other countries ("and there are no grounds for believing it is held by another agency subject to the Act"), and again highlight the finger-pointing between Chris Hipkins and The Ministry of Health, each assuming that the other is responsible for evidence-based public health policies. I will raise this issue with The Ministry of Health and the Office of the Ombudsman. I hope that you will raise this issue with Chris Hipkins and the Office of the Ombudsman.

* "People receiving vaccinations are provided with information sheets and the opportunity to ask questions. These info sheets can be found online on the Ministry's website at: https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/dise...

It seems that significant risks are not mentioned in these information sheets, and these information sheets also fail to state that there is no long-term safety data; this is a crime against humanity, especially considering that, by nature of not having long-term safety or efficacy data, these are experimental treatments, and especially considering that people are being coerced by government policies to be subject to these experimental treatments. These information sheets also fail to state that the "absolute risk reduction" is less than 1%, based on data collected over the first two months of human trials, and that duration of efficacy appears to be limited to a few months. This raises grave questions about informed consent, especially in regards to the experimental status of these treatments and the government's coercion that they be used.

* "The government is satisfied that it is acting in accordance with the Medicines Act 1981. In addition, where requirements are imposed under the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020, all Orders are assessed for compliance with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZBORA) and an Order will only be made by myself as the Minister for COVID-19 Response if compliant with the NZBORA."

It seems that Chris Hipkins has just made himself personally liable and culpable for human rights violations and war crimes; COVID-19 inoculations and culpability for human rights violations, crimes against humanity, and/or war crimes - https://fyi.org.nz/request/17825-covid-1...

* "There has been no cost/benefit analysis conducted. However, the original benefit/risk assessment for the Comirnaty vaccine has been released in a previous OIA response from the Ministry: www.health.govt.nz/system/files/document.... Please refer to Document 10 on page 94."

This is based on two month studies that are now over a year old. The document cited notes "Uncertainties", and provides an incomplete list of uncertainties. Not included in that list is information about preventing disease transmission; this is critical, since it's now the cornerstone of justifying the "mandated" use of these treatments in NZ. Other concerns not mentioned there include risks of ADE/VAED, OAS, and other long-term risks that can not be assessed at this time. That section further states: "Summary - The benefit risk balance of Comirnaty (COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine) for active immunisation to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2, in individuals 16 years of age and older, is not clear. At this stage, there is evidence only for short-term protection, and longer-term safety data are lacking. However, experience with the vaccine is accumulating rapidly." That document further states "Safety and efficacy have not been established in children under 16 years of age." Section "IX" on pages 97-98 appears to be a redacted list known adverse effects and/or commentary about adverse effects.

So, there's been no attempt to conduct a cost/benefit analysis, and the risk/benefit analysis defers to old data that absolutely fails to demonstrate, at least for most people, that there is any benefit that outweighs risks.

I've only given this a once-over. I've got some homework to do, following up with MOH and Ombudsman. I hope you can use my comments as a starting point to follow this up with Chris Hipkins and Ombudsman.

Thank you for what you're doing here.

So, there's been no attempt to conduct a cost/benefit analysis, and the risk/benefit analysis defers to old data that absolutely fails to demonstrate, at least for most people, that there is any benefit that outweighs risks.

Given this gene therapy has now been approved for children even though we know it has caused a number of deaths including a 13 year old this information is now very important. As a starting point I can provide a Pfizer document so that the Ministry of Health can warn parents considering this gene therapy for children that there are ten pages of serious side effects. Please acknowledge you have receipt of the Pfizer cumulative analysis report and let me know you are now warning people of these signfiicant risks.

Yours sincerely,

Chuck Schooner

Just a follow up with this: "So, there's been no attempt to conduct a cost/benefit analysis, and the risk/benefit analysis defers to old data that absolutely fails to demonstrate, at least for most people, that there is any benefit that outweighs risks."

Question: If these treatments have not been "approved" and "mandated" on the basis of cost/benefit and risk/benefit analysis, then on what basis have these treatments been "approved" and "mandated"?

Translation: “I'm just the Minister for COVID-19 Response. I only make the rules, it's not my job to review or understand the data.”

Next question: What due diligence have you undertaken, to understand the risks of the COVID-19 response policies, interventions, and treatments, which you have been promoting, advocating, and imposing for two years?

Dear Daniel Martin,

What due diligence has the Minister undertaken if any to understand the risks of the COVID-19 response policies, interventions, and treatments, which you have been promoting, advocating, and imposing for two years? The MOH has confirmed they had this information in a different format so was the Minister not briefed on the 10 pages of serious side effects?

Yours sincerely,

Chuck Schooner

Dear Daniel Martin,

Please acknowledge receipt of this message and the attached Pfizer Cumulative Analysis report and personally pass to Minister.

https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/202...

Two people as per Medsafes own data have died, countless more have “mysteriously died”, a 13 year olds death is under investigation. With all this information now available ignorance is not an excuse for the Minister. I suggest he quickly re look and any all vaccine mandates he is pushing/promoting as I will be looking to hold him personally liable.

Yours sincerely,

Chuck Schooner
