Informed Consent #9 - Threats to worker safety

Annie Weston made this Official Information request to Michael Wood

The request was successful.

From: Annie Weston

Dear Michael Wood,

Today 25 November 2021 you are quoted in Stuff as saying:

“We’ve been clear throughout the pandemic that no worker should feel that they have to put themselves in a position of feeling unsafe or compromised.” ​

https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/1270726...

A worker who is pro-vaccination-choice will likely feel that they are in a position of "feeling unsafe or compromised" when being coerced into taking an experimental gene therapy in order to provide for their family.

For example on NZDSOS's citizen database today there are 246 deaths that could be attributed to the Pfizer vaccine.

https://nzdsos.com/wp-content/uploads/20...

Medsafe's CARM webpage shows a total of 103 deaths that could be attributed to the Pfizer vaccine.

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

Today's Covid's death tally is 40 although common sense dictates it should actually be 39 as one of the deaths was caused by a gunshot.

My question please:

A worker has every right to feel "unsafe or compromised" when analysing the risk-benefit of the above numbers. On what basis do you ignore their concerns and discriminate against them?

Yours faithfully,

Annie Weston

Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Michael Wood, thank you for your email.

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not possible to provide
a personal response to every email received.

Where the Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that you
have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.  If your email falls outside of these responsibilities, it
may transferred to another office for consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

(Please note that this acknowledgement is an automatically generated
email.)

If you haven't yet booked your free COVID-19 vaccine, we encourage you to
do so. You can book online at [1]bookmyvaccine.nz or by calling 0800 28 29
26.

You can get vaccinated without a booking or appointment at a number of
sites across Auckland. You can find a list online [2]here.

If you already have a booking but it’s not for a few weeks, you can move
this forward – there are thousands of appointments still available this
week. You can do this online at [3]bookmyvaccine.nz.

Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your whânau.
Getting as many Aucklanders vaccinated as soon as possible is the key to
preventing lockdowns and getting the city back to work.

 

 

Regards
