Dear Charlotte Edwards,
Thank you for your response.
I am surprised at the lack of communications with Ministry of Health - as a Utility company, and not a medical facility, I would expect Transpower to seek comprehensive medical information from the authorities before implementing an experimental medical procedure in the form of Covid-19 vaccine mandate.
Please confirm that Transpower did not seek advice from the authorities on the safety of the Covid-19 vaccines, nor did not seek advice on risks of adverse events that could injure their staff, or what precautions or treatments they should recommend in the event of a vaccine injury.
Yours sincerely,
Eric Blair
