Kia ora Chuck
On behalf of Hon Chris Hipkins, Minister for COVID-19 Response, thank you
for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act). You
have requested:

 

“Are the relevant authorities tagged to this OIA in receipt of the recent
release of the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Document
about the Covid-10 origins - Yes or No?

 

Would DARPA be acceptable as a source of "truthful information" - Yes or
No?

(They have an annual budget of over $3b)

 

Please provide the MOH annual budget?

 

In the documents recently released and I quote - Covid-19 "was created by
an EcoHealth Alliance program at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

 

In the documents and I quote "Ivermectin was identified as a curative in
April 2020 and works throughout all phases of illness". Would a document
from the US Defense be credible enough to justify using Ivermectin as a
treatment? Why does the NZ Government refuse to use Ivermectin - please
provide any and all directives from WHO/WEF and reasons for suppression of
Ivermectin - or any other agency NZ are taking instruction from.

 

Also from the document "The gene-encoded or mRNA vaccines work poorly
because they are replications of the already synthetic SARS. The symptoms
of the vaccine reactions mirror the symptons of the disease. Would a US
Defense document change any of the court rulings that infer the vaccine is
"effective"? Actual documents say it isn't effective?

 

Please provide how the MOH/Medsafe and Coroners determine if a death is
from Covid-19 or the vaccine when as noted above "many of the symptons
mirror the disease". If a vaccinated person dies from Covid-19 and are
vaccinated how are they determining the difference if the symptoms mirror
each other?

 

The vaccine was approved in early 2021 - please provide any and all
emails/correspondence reports from Medsafe/WHO that warned the PM of the
risks of the gene therapy - this extends to all correspondence/agencies
and persons. Please include responses from the PM and or Ministers
involved.

 

Please provide all correspondence from WHO or other entities/other
agencies as too how Medsafe/MOH/Coroner are to assess and minimise deaths
of the expected deaths within 21 days. What have Medsafe et al been told
as to what deaths within 21 days they are too disregard?.”

This information appears to be more closely associated with the functions
and responsibilities of the Ministry of Health.  I have been advised that
you have made the same request to the Ministry of Health, as such, a
transfer of your request under section 14 of the Act will not be
necessary.

 

You can expect a response from the Ministry of Health in due course.

You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to
review this decision to transfer your request for information.

 

Thank you again for taking the time to write.

Ngâ mihi,

Kia ora Chuck,

 

The only piece of information that you have requested that comes under the
OIA that is not also be included in your request for the Ministry of
Health is for:

 

“The vaccine was approved in early 2021 - please provide any and all 
emails/correspondence reports from Medsafe/WHO that warned the PM of the 
risks of the gene therapy - this extends to all correspondence/agencies 
and persons. Please include responses from the PM and or Ministers 
involved.”

 

I can confirm that Minister Hipkins has had no correspondence from WHO
regarding the vaccine and warning of the risks of gene therapy.

 

The rest of you request is refused under section 14(b)(ii) as it lies
better within the functions of the Ministry of Health.

 

Under section 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
review any decisions made under the request. The ombudsman may be
contacted by email at:[email address] or by calling 0800 802
602.
