This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Chuck Schooner (Account suspended) to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Chuck Schooner (Account suspended)
Dear Ashley Bloomfield,
Please provide any and all direct communications with any and all WHO officials you are directly communicating with on the pandemic response.
Your bio states you worked at the WHO in 2011 and they have shown themselves to be compromised in terms of this pandemic response.
Please supply any and all perceived or actual conflicts of interest that you may have in completing an effective pandemic response.
To date, the response appears to be directed by WHO and you have direct links to that organization and so the NZ public have lost faith in your ability.
It is now time to have some integrity and let somebody more competent and less compromised take over and fix things.
Yours faithfully,
Chuck Schooner

Kia ora Chuck,
Thank you for your OIA request on 21 December 2021. You asked:
“Please provide any and all direct communications with any and all WHO
officials you are directly communicating with on the pandemic response.
Your bio states you worked at the WHO in 2011 and they have shown
themselves to be compromised in terms of this pandemic response.
Please supply any and all perceived or actual conflicts of interest that
you may have in completing an effective pandemic response. To date, the
response appears to be directed by WHO and you have direct links to that
organization and so the NZ public have lost faith in your ability. It is
now time to have some integrity and let somebody more competent and less
compromised take over and fix things.”
Part of your request asks for: any and all direct communications with any
and all WHO officials you are directly communicating with on the pandemic
response. Can you please clarify what timeframe that you are interested in
for this information. As it currently stands, the Ministry would need to
search through close to two years of the Director-General’s incoming and
outgoing correspondence. In the absence of any clarification, the Ministry
is likely to require a significant extension, or may consider refusing
this request under 18(f) of the OIA.
As you are aware, the OIA requires a decision to be provided as soon as
practicable, so please let me know as soon as possible if you have an
questions or issues.
Look forward to hearing from you,

Kia ora Chuck,
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) on 21 December 2021 requesting details of conflicts of interest for
Dr Ashley Bloomfield. You specifically requested:
“Please provide any and all direct communications with any and all WHO
officials you are directly communicating with on the pandemic response.
Please supply any and all perceived or actual conflicts of interest that
you may have in completing an effective pandemic response.”
I consider that part of the information for …any and all perceived or
actual conflicts of interest that you may have in completing an effective
pandemic response is also connected with the functions of the Public
Service Commissioner (PSC). For this reason, I have decided to partially
transfer your request to the PSC under section 14 of the Act. You can
expect a response on a decision from the PSC to your request in due
course.
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.
If you have any queries related to this request, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.

Conflicts of interest are not a thing inside the industry nor have they ever been.
At every level of governance and regulation exists and revolving door of endless conflicts which go on undeclared and accepted, or declared and accepted.
Seldomly does it make any difference which includes self exemptions and waivers for COI at the highest level.
New Zealand having a third world pool of talent to choose from has been deeply conflicted for 30 years with the same few names making recommendations, reviewing the recommendations, assessing the damage and death resulting from their recommendations while dominating the media repeating 'safe, effective, independent, no evidence' and other disinformation.
It is evidently verifiable using these examples.
- Immunisation Advisory Group
(formerly the I-subcommittee)
- VSEAG
- Science Technical Advisory Group
- C19 Immunisation Implementation Advisory Group
- C19 Independent Safety Monitoring Board
- C19 Independent Strategic Public Health Advisory Group
Observably it is acceptable to include 'independent' within proximity of the same names and that absolves all conflicts.
Cross analysis the names in just these few groups and the terms of reference and duties of the same groups, and the depth of conflicts become immediately visible and terminally broken.
Control over data information and narrative using the same few names over protracted periods of time is the only way the historical and present day events can be maintained against the population.
