Pfizer Contractual Agreement
Chuck Schooner (Account suspended) made this Official Information request to Pharmaceutical Management Agency
Response to this request is long overdue. By law Pharmaceutical Management Agency should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: Chuck Schooner (Account suspended)
Dear Pharmaceutical Management Agency,
Without disclosing any commercial sensitivity are you able to answer the following questions which are yes or no answers.
If you refuse to answer then I will assume that these questions are in the affirmative.
- Are there any clauses that require the NZ government to waive the sovereignty of their assets abroad - yes or no? If not answered I’m assuming yes
- That NZ law does not apply to Pfizer? Yes or No
- Pfizer is exempted from all liability even if it was found shortcuts/malfeasance/negligence occurred in the development? Yes or No
As noted above, I will be assuming these are in the affirmative if these questions refuse to
be answered.
Yours faithfully,
Chuck Schooner

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will have eight months — not the 75 years it requested — to release all documents related to the licensing of Pfizer’s Comirnaty COVID vaccine, a federal judge ruled Thursday 6 Jan 2022.
Judge Mark Pittman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, quoted President John F. Kennedy, writing, “a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
