Risk Benefit Analysis - Covid-19 Vaccine
Chuck Schooner (Account suspended) made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was partially successful.
From: Chuck Schooner (Account suspended)
Dear Ministry of Health,
Per previous Official Information Act requests I understand for the removal of an approved Medicine involves a review of the risk / benefit of the product following reported adverse affects. Medsafe's own data confirms the Covid-19 vaccine as
- Confirmed two deaths
- 154 suspicious deaths at a minimum
- Over 2,000 deaths within 21 days
- 15 serious safety signals that Medsafe continue to monitor
Various Doctors have reported the above and a brave group of Doctors have requested numerous discussions with Ministry of Health and Medsafe due to these safety issues which number in the 1,000's. As a comparison a Goree Medical Product had one report of Mercury Poisoning and was removed from market.
Can you please provide the following
- Risk / Benefit analysis of the vaccine when it was approved
- If one was not completed then why not?
- Risk / Benefit analysis of the vaccine after the death of one person was confirmed
- If one was not completed then why not?
- Risk / Benefit analysis of the vaccine after the death of a second person was confirmed
- If one was not completed then why not?
- Risk / Benefit analysis of the vaccine at today's date taking into account all of the data collected by Ministry of Health and Medsafe
- Can the Ministry of Health confirm if there are any control groups that were put in place as a way to analyse their own data - if not why not?
- Are there any provisions in the Pfizer Contract that preclude the Ministry of Health from completing Risk / Benefit analysis?
- Can you also provide the process document(s) relating to if there is a sudden death following the vaccine then what is the process for the next of kin to obtain an autopsy of the body
- Can you also provide an update on the death of the 13 year old last year and what process has been followed in an attempt to determine the child's death
Yours faithfully,
Chuck

Can you confirm if it is normal practice for a Cost / Benefit analysis to be completed if a person dies from an approved medicine - I understand it is?

Don't forget that under Section 20(3) of the Medicines Act:
No consent given under this section shall be deemed to warrant the safety or efficacy of the medicine to which the consent relates.
Even though we are constantly being told that the vaccine is "safe and effective".

Kia ora Chuck,
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) on 11 May 2022 for:
“Can you confirm if it is normal practice for a Cost / Benefit analysis to
be completed if a person dies from an approved medicine.”
Medsafe does not perform a cost-benefit analysis when a person dies from
an approved medicine. The cost of a medicine does not figure into
Medsafe’s deliberations.
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: [1][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602.

Dear OIA Requests,
I am a little confused and can't quite work out if I am getting lied to, MOH is cutting corners or Pfizer have a different deal than other approved medicines. And please note I require a "Risk / Benefit" analysis - not a cost / benefit analysis.
A previous OIA request submitted here the response from Medsafe stated "The process for removal of an approved medicine from market is different. It involves a review of the risk-benefit of the product following reported adverse events where a signal is identified that the product has potential for harm".
https://fyi.org.nz/request/18035/respons...
To date, the Pfizer vaccine has caused
- 4 deaths confirmed with 100's of suspect deaths
- 18 safety signals
- 200,000 plus entries into CARM including disability, heart issues and miscarriage
Am I correct in saying that despite all of these reactions a risk / benefit analysis has never been done?
If a risk benefit analysis has not been done then why not when this was what happened with the withdrawal of Reductil? https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/hot/media/20...
Given the countless injuries and deaths then why has a risk / benefit analysis not been done after each and every serious report to CARM?
Are there different rules for Pfizer?
Given the vaccine does not prevent or stop transmission and nobody can tell me the differences of Covid symptons with or without the vaccine then it appears the benefit of this gene therapy are modest if any
Why following countless adverse events has a risk / benefit analysis not been done?
Yours sincerely,
Chuck Schooner

Kia Ora Chuck,
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the

The clinical evaluation report which is the benefit risk assessment is
publicly available at:
[1]www.health.govt.nz/about-ministry/information-releases/responses-official-information-act-requests?year=2022.There
have been three deaths possibly related to COVID-19 vaccination that are
awaiting the coroner to confirm. More deaths have been reported due to the
COVID-19 infection, updates are available at:
[2]www.health.govt.nz/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-data-and-statistics/covid-19-case-demographics#deaths.The
COVID-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board (CV-ISMB) have
reviewed all significant reports and signals and have confirmed that they
do not consider these to have impacted the benefit risks for covid-19
vaccines.
The vast majority of reported Adverse Events Following Immunisation
(AEFIs) are minor expected events such as headache and sore arm. These
types of events are expected for all vaccines and are not material to the
benefit risk. The COVID-19 vaccine is of value as it continues to lower
the risk of hospitalisation than unvaccinated people. No medicines
regulator has considered that any COVID-19 vaccine has an unfavourable
benefit risk.
I trust this information fulfils your request. 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:
[3][email address] or by calling 0800 802 602.

Gosh is this our democratic government denying to share details? Or is this the secret state security masquerading as medicine and health.
In the former German "Democratic" Republic (East Germany) it was called "Die Staatsversicherung", which means state security or "Die Stasi" for short.
