Subject: Re: Official Information request - Policy to require "My Vaccine
Pass" to access council services and facilities

 

Attn Wellington City Council,

 

Please consider this a revision to my recent request for information,
dated 15 Jan 2022.

 

I am seeking information relating to the council's policy to require "My
Vaccine Pass" to access council services and facilities.

 

Does the council hold any long-term safety data for any COVID-19
inoculations? If so, what is that data?

 

Does the council hold any long-term efficacy data for any COVID-19
inoculations? If so, what is that data?

 

Does the council hold any medical or scientific data indicating that
COVID-19 inoculations are not "experimental" medical treatments? If so,
what is that data?

 

Excluding hypothetical modelling data, does the council hold any data and
evidence indicating that, in settings where this policy is implemented,
any COVID-19 inoculations prevent disease transmission of currently
circulating COVID variants? If so, what is that data and evidence?

 

What is the reason(s) for implementing this policy to show a "My Vaccine
Pass" to access council services and facilities? What body of data and
evidence, both for and against, formed the basis of implementing this
policy? If this policy was implemented on the basis of something other
than data and evidence, then on what basis was this policy based on?

 

Considering the stated reason(s) for implementing this policy, does the
council hold any risk/benefit analysis, demonstrating that the benefits of
this policy outweigh the risks?

 

Considering the stated reason(s) for implementing this policy, does the
council hold any cost/benefit analysis, demonstrating that the benefits of
this policy outweigh the costs?

 

What ethical, legal, racial justice, and human rights considerations has
the council given to this policy? If these issues have not been considered
by the council, then why have they not been considered?

 

What consideration has the council given to this policy's effect on people
to exercise their human rights to informed consent (including rights to
informed refusal) to medical treatment? How does this policy respect
individual human rights to not be subject to medical experimentation? If
these issues have not been considered by the council, then why have they
not been considered?

 

What consideration has the council given to this policy's effect on
individual human rights to privacy and confidentiality of medical
information? How does this policy respect individual human rights to
refuse medical treatment, with or without reason? How does this policy
allow people to not be subject to discrimination on the basis of their
personal medical status? If these issues have not been considered by the
council, then why have they not been considered?

 

What consideration has the council given to this policy's effect on
exacerbating issues of racial disparity and racial discrimination?

 

What consideration has the council given to this policy possibly appearing
as a use of pressure, force, fraud, deceit, duress, collective punishment,
over-reach, or other ulterior forms of constraint or coercion to
encourage, incentivize, or otherwise promote (experimental) medical
treatments? If these issues have not been considered by the council, then
why have they not been considered?

 

What consideration has the council given to this policy's effect on
individual human rights, and how that may expose proponents, advocates,
and/or actors on behalf of such polices to culpability for human rights
violations, crimes against humanity, and/or war crimes? If these issues
have not been considered by the council, then why have they not been
considered?

 

Excluding advice which is both (a) unsolicited and (b) from the general
public; what advice and influence has the council received about
implementing this policy? Where did such advice come from?

 

If a person is pressured into receiving this medical treatment in order to
access council services and facilities, what liability does the council
accept for any adverse reactions such person may suffer, as a result of
this medical treatment? If this has not been considered by the council,
then why has this not been considered?

 

Thank you,

ASE
