Covid-19 Response Data

Chuck Schooner (Account suspended) made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was partially successful.

From: Chuck Schooner (Account suspended)

Dear Ministry of Health,

Where is the main information coming from with regard to the Covid-19 vaccine response? Real time data or information from Pfizer?

The Ministry of Health states the vaccine is effective yet can't point to how long a person might have immunity for.

New Zealand has the benefit of seeing all of the overseas trends before things eventuate in New Zealand and we should be able to tailor a proper response yet YOU are failing with every metric due to the real time data now available. Even your own statistics you are refusing to look at.

- Are the Ministry of Health aware Dr Anthony Fauci is on TV saying vaccines do not work as intended and immunity wanes relatively quickly (given he has ties to vaccine this should raise flags). Given this information would the Ministry of Health agree a vaccine passport which might be relevant for two months is pointless?
- If the Ministry of Health can't tell you how long you have immunity and real time data is coming out saying it might be a few months only this would mean the vaccine is not effective at all? Would the Ministry of Health agree? What does the Ministry of Health consider effective?
- Is the Ministry of Health aware that Merriam Webster changed the official definition of vaccine this year because mRNA technology did not fit into the definition. Do you think NZ would see vaccine take up if the treatment was classed as a drug or gene therapy?
- When the Ministry of Health approved this vaccine for the second time were you aware that on the VAERS website (government statistics) there were the following
- 17,000 deaths directly from vaccine
- 26,199 people disabled
- 10,179 bells palsy
- 10,304 cases of myocarditis
- 8,408 heart attacks
- 2,631 miscarriages

Did anybody at all do Due Diligence of actual statistics?

Medsafes own data shows this vaccine is doing large amounts of damage.

Given the obfuscation when OIA requests come in and the inability to properly answer basic requests New Zealanders no longer trust the competence of the people making decisions. Is this a fair statement?

You are gambling with peoples long term health - have some integrity and come out and say this vaccine is neither safe or effective. There is even data in the US that says the vaccine is killing 2 persons to the one person it might help.

Is it corruption or incompetence stopping Medsafe/MOH from doing the right thing?

Yours faithfully,

Chuck Schooner

Your request:

 

Why has the data reports completed by Medsafe appear to be more favourable
in relation to "Observed versus Expected Deaths" in the recent report. Did
this have anything to do with Medsafe approving Pfizer vaccine again. Data
that has changed is below.

 

Safety Report #31 Observed Deaths within 21 Days - 2,501 deaths Safety
Report # 32 Observed Deaths within 21 Days - 623 deaths

 

I note this is reported in slightly different way but there are 1,878
deaths that have mysteriously disappeared. Can Medsafe state why deaths
have mysteriously been reduced from earlier reporting?

 

Can Medsafe/Ministry of Health/Covid-19 Response Minister Please confirm
how they define "Safe and Effective"?

 

New Zealand has the benefit of real time data overseas so is anybody at
all monitoring overseas trends? By way of an example here is data from the
US Governments VAERS website - government data by the way and this is not
"misinformation".

 

17,000 plus deaths reported dead direct from the vaccine - is anyone at
Medsafe responsible for asking Pfizer why there are all these deaths in
US?

800,000 injuries - has Medsafe investigated why there are so many injuries
in the US before approving this vaccine in New Zealand - side effects in
New Zealand each week continue to tick up - injuries in children no less -
how are Medsafe okay with that when children prior to mass vaccination
were hardly impacted

26,000 people with permanent disabilities in the US - would Medsafe
consider this safe?

 

How can this be overlooked by Medsafe?

 

How does Medsafe/Ministry of Health define effective?

 

Please note again real time data Waterford in Ireland that is 99.7%
vaccinated previously had one of the lowest Covid rates (before mass
vaccination) and now has one of the highest with what is almost a perfect
vaccination rate.

 

How does Medsafe square that circle as to why highly vaccinated areas are
seeing significant outbreaks in vaccinated. Is this not a worrying sign -
similar trends in Israel, Gibraltor, UK. I would also ask Medsafe to
immediately confirm if "unlinked" cases are in the vaccinated in New
Zealand.

 

At what point does Ministry of Health/Medsafe wake up? It does look like
all of the science around mRNA vaccines and it impacting the immune system
are correct and we are likely to see more people sick in the next 6-9
months.

 

 

Number of persons/panel/investigators who assess if the deaths after
administration are from the vaccine

- Please provide their individual qualifications

- Please provide the amount of years they have been in practice

- Please provide if this work is peer reviewed by an independent body

- Please provide who employs them

 

As per the statistics on the Medsafe website can you please state if you
consider them to be effective and competent based on the following
statistics.

 

94 total deaths

40 deaths unlikely related

38 deaths could not be assessed due to insufficient information

15 cases still under investigation

1 death from vaccine

 

Based on the above whoever is assessing these deaths it appears they can
only successfully assess 50% of these deaths then surely that calls into
question the usefulness of this group and an independent group needs to be
appointed to investigate the 40 deaths this panel cannot figure out?

 

Because if these 40 deaths are in any way related to the vaccine this
means the vaccine has done more damage than the virus - 2-1 for some basic
math for you. You can't tell me we can't find a group that could actually
assess these properly as it appears there is a competence issue involved
here.

 

Can you please tell me why an independent group not related to MOH/Medsafe
has not been appointed to assess these deaths as only being 50% successful
at something as important as this is effectively negligence/misconduct.
Because if an independent third party was appointed and able to assess
even two of these cases as having died from the vaccine then surely that
calls into question if Medsafe has done their due diligence when approving
this vaccine again.

 

Where is the main information coming from with regard to the Covid-19
vaccine response? Real time data or information from Pfizer?

 

The Ministry of Health states the vaccine is effective yet can't point to
how long a person might have immunity for.

 

New Zealand has the benefit of seeing all of the overseas trends before
things eventuate in New Zealand and we should be able to tailor a proper
response yet YOU are failing with every metric due to the real time data
now available.  Even your own statistics you are refusing to look at.

 

- Are the Ministry of Health aware Dr Anthony Fauci is on TV saying
vaccines do not work as intended and immunity wanes relatively quickly
(given he has ties to vaccine this should raise flags).  Given this
information would the Ministry of Health agree a vaccine passport which
might be relevant for two months is pointless?

- If the Ministry of Health can't tell you how long you have immunity and
real time data is coming out saying it might be a few months only this
would mean the vaccine is not effective at all? Would the Ministry of
Health agree? What does the Ministry of Health consider effective?

- Is the Ministry of Health aware that Merriam Webster changed the
official definition of vaccine this year because mRNA technology did not
fit into the definition.  Do you think NZ would see vaccine take up if the
treatment was classed as a drug or gene therapy?

- When the Ministry of Health approved this vaccine for the second time
were you aware that on the VAERS website (government statistics) there
were the following

- 17,000 deaths directly from vaccine

- 26,199 people disabled

- 10,179 bells palsy

- 10,304 cases of myocarditis

- 8,408 heart attacks

- 2,631 miscarriages

 

Did anybody at all do Due Diligence of actual statistics?

You are gambling with peoples long term health - have some integrity and
come out and say this vaccine is neither safe or effective.  There is even
data in the US that says the vaccine is killing 2 persons to the one
person it might help.

 

Is it corruption or incompetence stopping Medsafe/MOH from doing the right
thing?

 

 

We are now getting 100's of Covid cases per day in Auckland when Auckland
is 85% fully vaccinated.

 

Please State how the Ministry of Health define effective?

 

Is if different to the following - Effective - producing a result that is
wanted; having an intended effect.

 

It appears Auckland is starting to mirror all highly vaccinated countries
overseas whereby highly vaccinated areas are seeing an uptick in Covid
cases and also other "rare conditions".  These rare conditions never
existed prior to vaccination.  Please date this request as I expect we
will start seeing an uptick in ADE in coming months.

 

Please provide number of cases of ADE by year for the last 5 years
2016-2020.

 

Also provide ADE numbers 2021 and if the person was vaccinated.

 

Recently it has come out that leaked information about the drug trials
completed by Pfizer have all sorts of issues with safety, efficacy and the
side effects that have been hidden.

 

Given this publicly available information does Medsafe not want to look
out for New Zealanders and halt the vaccine roll-out until this is
thoroughly investigated?

 

If Medsafe does not do this - would you acknowledge that this is not about
health at all and you don't care about New Zealanders and would rather put
them at risk.

 

 

Is there anything planned by the MOH, Medsafe, PM, Director General of
Health or Covid Response Minister for when 100 deaths not from the vaccine
are tabulated.  To date we are at 94 that aren't from the vaccine.

 

[3]https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/COVID-19/saf...

 

Please provide if there will be a morning tea shout?

Will the six names be toasted at the morning tea?

What will the budget be for the morning tea?

Who will be in attendance?

 

Can the Ministry of Health please state if

- Any of these three deaths died within 21 days of either the first or
second dose of Pfizer-

- Can you confirm if these three persons were vaccinated

- Can you confirm if any of these deaths has been recorded on the Medsafe
vaccine reports as part of the 94 deaths

Dear OIA Requests,

As per your response you state you define effective by the measured outcomes in the clinical trial.

Based on this information can you state you are only using data provided by Pfizer to determine if this vaccine is effective?

You have then referenced a study for the New England Medical Journal stating that two doses of the vaccine can substantially reduce transmission. Based on that I would assume that you are using other sources of information for the Covid-19 response.

Given you have sourced a study by the New England Medical Journal by default you are saying this is a credible source.

Are you then aware that this study published by the same organisation states that the vaccine wanes in all age groups within two months of the second dose. This is a later study but given it is a credible source then surely this 'new' information needs to be looked at to see if vaccines are effective at all and if two months immunity would justify the draconian measurements and mandates that are currently being forced on the New Zealand public.

Kia ora Chuck,

 

Thank you for your email. As you have been advised, asking the Ministry to
comment or asking if the Ministry 'is aware' is not a legitimate request
under the Official Information Act. Your questions and the statements that
support them appear designed to engage in a debate about the Government’s
COVID-19 vaccination programme, rather than a request for official
information. The Act does not support requests where an opinion, comment,
argument, or hypothetical statement is put to the Ministry for response,
couched as a request for information. These questions are therefore
refused under section 18(g) of the Act on the grounds that the information
sought is not held by the Ministry.  

 

You have also been advised that that should the Ministry receive further
requests seeking comment or an opinion they may be considered vexatious
and refused under section 18(h) of the Act.

 

The Ministry has nothing further to add to its response.   As you have
previously been advised, you have the right under section 28(3) of the Act
you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review any decisions made under
this request. The Ombudsman may be contacted by email at:
[1][email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.

Dear OIA Requests,

So if you can't stay up to date with relevant information the policy you implement will be wrong. This is however unsurprising given the inability to correctly follow your own data given the injuries, deaths to date for a vaccine that might provide immunity for two months. You people are incompetent.

Yours sincerely,

Chuck Schooner

MOH states: 〃The definition of effective is determined by the measured outcomes in the clinical trial for a medicine.〃

The data from Pfizer's ongoing trial is now showing that all-cause rates of morbidity and mortality in the treatment group are higher than all-cause rates of morbidity and mortality in the control group. This is even after their study design excludes reporting of morbidity and mortality in the treatment group prior to one week after the 2nd dose (eg, the study design is excluding near-tern treatment injuries and deaths). How does MOH interpret this data as "effective"?

MOH states: 〃Please refer to the vaccination stats that reinforce this:
https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/dise....
These statistics show that the majority of the people who are infected with COVID-19 and/or in
hospital are unvaccinated.〃

As of today, the "Vaccination details" section shows cases sorted by "Vaccination status when reported as a case". Since this data appears to include cases and hospitalisations that occurred long before COVID "vaccines" were available, the data is presented in an extraordinarily misleading way. Why is MOH using such misleading data reporting and presentation?

MOH claims: 〃Preliminary results from ​studies have shown that two doses of the Pfizer vaccine can substantially reduce transmission of the virus. For example, this study here:
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/ne.... 〃

The study cited was observing "symptomatic disease" as an outcome. Disease transmission was not part of the study design, and no claims about disease transmission can be inferred from this study. Nonetheless, MOH claims that "results from ​studies" (studies, plural) show that these inoculations "substantially reduce transmission of the virus".

As usual, MOH is making assertions with no evidence to substantiate those assertions.
