Thank you for your email received 4 February 2022 in which you submitted
an Official Information Act request to the Hon Andrew Little, Minister of
Health.

 

You requested:

 

“1. Is Andrew Little aware of any long-term safety data for any COVID-19
inoculations? If so, what is that data?

2. Is Andrew Little aware of any long-term efficacy data for any COVID-19
inoculations? If so, what is that data?

3. Considering what is and what is not known of long-term safety and
efficacy of COVID-19 inoculations, what consideration has Andrew Little
given to the status of COVID-19 inoculations as “experimental” medical
treatments? What scientific and medical basis does Andrew Little have for
asserting that COVID-19 inoculations are not “experimental” medical
treatments? If this has not been considered by Andrew Little, then why has
this not been considered?

4. What contingency plans have been considered by Andrew Little, if
COVID-19 inoculations may prove to be unsafe, ineffective, unnecessary,
and/or otherwise harmful to personal health and/or public health (as
“public health” is generally understood)? If this has not been considered
by Andrew Little, then why has this not been considered?

4. In consideration of positions, polices, and/or legislation (including,
but not limited to messaging and medical advice, collective punishments,
and segregation) which may appear as intent to use force, fraud, deceit,
duress, over-reach, or other ulterior forms of constraint or coercion to
encourage, incentivize, or otherwise promote COVID-19 inoculations, what
consideration has Andrew Little given to the effects of such positions,
polices, and/or legislation respecting healthcare providers' legal and
ethical obligations to empower their patients to exercise their rights of
informed consent (including rights of informed refusal)? How do such
positions, polices, and/or legislation respect patients' rights regarding
informed consent (including rights of informed refusal)? If this has not
been considered by Andrew Little, then why has this not been considered?

5.In consideration of positions, polices, and/or legislation (including,
but not limited to messaging and medical advice, collective punishments,
and segregation) which may appear as intent to use force, fraud, deceit,
duress, over-reach, or other ulterior forms of constraint or coercion to
encourage, incentivize, or otherwise promote COVID-19 inoculations, what
consideration has Andrew Little given to the effects of such positions,
polices, and/or legislation respecting individual human rights (including
human rights as recognised under national and international frameworks),
such as individual human rights to privacy and confidentiality of medical
information; and individual human rights to refuse medical treatment, with
or without reason? If this has not been considered by Andrew Little, then
why has this not been considered?

6. In consideration of the questions raised above, and related matters,
what consideration has Andrew Little given to the possibility that
positions, polices, and/or legislation (including, but not limited to
messaging and medical advice, collective punishments, and segregation)
which may appear as intent to use force, fraud, deceit, duress,
over-reach, or other ulterior forms of constraint or coercion to
encourage, incentivize, or otherwise promote COVID-19 inoculations, may
expose proponents, advocates, and/or actors on behalf of such positions,
polices, and/or legislation to culpability for human rights violations,
crimes against humanity, and/or war crimes? If this has not been
considered by Andrew Little, then why has this not been considered?”

 

Pursuant to section 15 (1) of the Act we will endeavour to respond to your
request as soon as possible, and no later than 7 March 2022 being 20
working days after the day your request was received. If we are unable to

Subject: Official Information request - COVID-19 inoculations and
culpability for human rights violations, crimes against humanity, and/or
war crimes

Attn Andrew Little,

So far as it is practicable, and consistent with The Official Information
Act, I would like to request that Andrew Little forward this request for
information to any relevant department or interdepartmental venture or
Minister of the Crown or organisation, or local authority, or any other
party directly advising on these matters, and advise accordingly as per
The Official Information Act. Notwithstanding such compliance with The
Official Information Act, I do expect that Andrew Little can substantively
address all of the matters raised herein.

Is Andrew Little aware of any long-term safety data for any COVID-19
inoculations? If so, what is that data?

Is Andrew Little aware of any long-term efficacy data for any COVID-19
inoculations? If so, what is that data?

Considering what is and what is not known of long-term safety and efficacy
of COVID-19 inoculations, what consideration has Andrew Little given to
the status of COVID-19 inoculations as “experimental” medical treatments?
What scientific and medical basis does Andrew Little have for asserting
that COVID-19 inoculations are not “experimental” medical treatments? If
this has not been considered by Andrew Little, then why has this not been

What contingency plans have been considered by Andrew Little, if COVID-19
inoculations may prove to be unsafe, ineffective, unnecessary, and/or
otherwise harmful to personal health and/or public health (as “public
health” is generally understood)? If this has not been considered by
Andrew Little, then why has this not been considered?

In consideration of positions, polices, and/or legislation (including, but
not limited to messaging and medical advice, collective punishments, and
segregation) which may appear as intent to use force, fraud, deceit,
duress, over-reach, or other ulterior forms of constraint or coercion to
encourage, incentivize, or otherwise promote COVID-19 inoculations, what
consideration has Andrew Little given to the effects of such positions,

In consideration of positions, polices, and/or legislation (including, but

as intent to use force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reach, or other

Please note information about meetings related to the Ministers’
portfolios will be proactively released (this does not include personal or
constituency matters). For each meeting in scope, the summary would list:
date, time (start and finish), brief description, location, who the
meeting was with, and the portfolio. If you attend a meeting with the
Minister on behalf of an organisation, the name of the organisation will
be released. If you are a senior staff member at an organisation, or meet
with the Minister in your personal capacity, your name may also be
released. The location of the meeting will be released, unless it is a
private residence. The proactive release will be consistent with the
provisions in the Official Information Act, including privacy
considerations. Under the Privacy Act 1993 you have the right to ask for a
copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to
be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of
your information, or to have it corrected, or are concerned about the
release of your information in the meeting disclosure, please contact the
sender. You can read more about the proactive release policy at

Kia ora ASE,

Thank you for your response. Please note, that whilst Minister Little is the Minister for Health he is not the Minister for COVID-19 response, therefore my office does not hold this information. You are welcome to request this information from Hon Chris Hipkins, the Minister for COVID-19 Response.

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: [email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.

Subject: Re: Response to your request for official information - ALOIA159

Attn Andrew Little

My request my information is just that, a request for information held by you and your office. As I expect that these issues would have been very seriously considered by you and your office, I reasonably expect that you can provide the requested information. As such, it is not in any way an attempt to request an opinion, engage in debate, or otherwise misuse The Official Information Act.

I also note that a substantive response to this request remains long overdue.

As a matter of clarification: By citing section 18(g) of The Official Information Act, is this to be construed as meaning that these issues have not been considered by you and your office?

I continue to await a substantive response to the previous requests for information, and also new request for information, directly above. In the meantime, because of the lack of transparency and the excessive delay, I will be filing a formal complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman.

Thank you,
ASE
