Subject: Official Information request - Jab mandate review and related
issues

 

Dear Victoria University of Wellington,

 

To recap: -

1   VIC has apparently followed the central Government directives re the
Traffic light regime

2   Government has now advised that the jab related traffic light
requirement is to be dropped from 4/4/2022

3   VIC may well ignore the Government recommendations in #2 above so
holding on to #1 instead.

 

This OIA, please provide the following: -

 

A.   The Health and Safety Risk Assessment as completed that then resulted
in the 31/1/2022 decision to deny the unjabbed access to campus, book shop
and or the dormitories onsite?

 

B.   Apparently a survey was carried out - a copy of all survey responses:
- staff, students and or any others who responded.

 

C.   Apparently you have relied upon MOH advice at some point/s, please
provide a copy of all material obtained, received, communications to/from
related to that.

 

D.   Assuming that the above was "robustly" reviewed by person/s that are
competent/experienced, please provide their review, report and supporting
notes etc for or against the recommendation/s.

 

E.   Since and so recently, the risk assessment as per A. above is being
reviewed now, when available please provide a copy.

 

F.   I then repeat in relation to E. items B. to D. and request that any
new/additional/related data/documents etc related to E. obtained since A.
was completed are also provided.

 

G.  With respect to any/all persons reviewing, reported and advising,
please detail the experience, qualifications, conflict of interests
related to the subject matter and or recommendation/s made.

 

H.  Has VIC completed a review of the effectiveness, efficiency, safety,
test outcomes and or outcome/s achieved from the exclusion of the unjabbed
on campus/Dormitories etc at anytime to date? If so then please supply the
report/s and the data and supporting material etc, i.e. as per B, C, D and
G above.

 

I.  Please confirm if VIC and or any person related has obtained a
confirmed list of contents of the jab?

 

J.   Recently, there was a server outbreak in the campus dormitories (late
Feb to mid Mar-2022). Please confirm the following: -

    (a)   How many jabbed person/s were onsite?

    (b)   How many unjabbed person/s were onsite?

    (c)   How many reported infection/s and or cases were reported daily,
say for the period 20/2/2022 to date

    (d)   How many required medical attention?

    (e)   How many required hospitalisation?

    (f)    How many have been reinfected i.e. more than once?

    (g)   Please confirm that VIC, in its reports etc as per A. and E. is
fully aware that the jab manufacturers have noted that clearly at all
times that: -

             (i)     The jab testing is not completed, perhaps until
2023-2025?

             (ii)    That the jabbed are still able and are able to be
infected after being jabbed?

             (iii)   That the jabbed can be infectious so passing on the
Covid-19 virus to the jabbed or not?

             (iv)   Assuming the above is correct (because it is as per
Zfizers website) what processes, prevention measures have been taken to
protect the jabbed from the jabbed? What processes, prevention measures
have been taken to protect the unjabbed from the jabbed? What processes,
prevention measures have been taken to protect the jabbed from the
unjabbed?

             (v)    That there are numerous rare diseases noted by Zfizer
resulting from being jabbed. Have you factor this confirmed risk into your
assessments and or reports?

             (vi)    What support, assistance, remediation has VIC put in
place for students and or staff and or others onsite for the health risks
mandated by VIC?

             (vii)   Does VIC have insurance, resources or otherwise to
assure all that the measures taken, the consequences are fully covered and
payable to those harmed? be that jabbed or not.

 

K.  Has due and proper consideration been given to the Human Rights Act
and any likely breach thereof as a consequence of these restrictions? That
for example obviously includes segregation issues, obstruction of access
to education and so on. Please provide any legal opinion, material or
otherwise that robustly reviews this.

 

L.  Has due and proper consideration of the Treaty of Waitangi (as
signed), that the people of New Zealand (both natives and settlors) are to
be treated equally under the Queens law i.e. New Zealand's law? Please
provide any legal opinion, material or otherwise that robustly reviews
this.

 

I look forward to your reply, in full within the 20 working day that
statute provides.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

I Stevenson
