Hi Lisa,
Suspect I could tell you the results once they put this information together.
Long Covid - Vaccinated - 100%
Long Covid - Unvaccinated - 0%
And long covid should probably be defined as ongoing health issues from the covid vaccine due to a compromised immune system. The truth always comes out and despite the MOH playing games with obfuscation, hidden information, misleading datasets amongst others the information starting to filter through is not on the governments side. Sadly thousands of lives have been ruined.

Hi Chris

The definition for long COVID itself includes those vaccine side effects but yes I agree with you.

Dear OIA Requests,
Thank you for your reply, unfortunately I have waited before for data that was going to be made public and when it was did not match my request.

Can you please confirm the report that will be made available in two months will contain the data I have requested.

If it will not please review your response.

Yours sincerely,

Lisa

Thank you for your email.
To clarify, the response you received stated that Manatū Hauora will begin
reporting on long COVID conditions in the next 2 months. This means that
data will start being collected in that time. This is why your request was
refused under section 18(g)(i), as the data is not currently held
by Manatū Hauora. We invite you to make another request at the end of the
year.
The Ministry stands by its response given to you on 14 September
2022. 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.

Wow....considering this is supposedly the biggest pandemic of our time and they're using experimental technology, one would expect their record keeping to be very, very, detailed. Yet, it is not, it seems they're hiding something.

Keep up with the questions truth seekers

From: Lisa

Dear OIA Requests,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I am surprised by your answer.

As the Ministry of Health have noted “Long COVID appears to be more common among people who had severe COVID-19 symptoms when they first got sick but can also affect those who initially had mild or moderate COVID-19. Even people who initially had no symptoms may go on to develop long COVID. Long COVID is seen in all age groups. However, it appears to be less common in children and adolescents than in adults.“ on their website https://www.health.govt.nz/covid-19-nove...

To print this relevant data must be held.

An April 2022 presentation shared on the same web page (https://www.health.govt.nz/system/files/...) also notes the Ministry will collect data and many of the other areas of focus would also have required data.

Please advise why the data collected since April 2022 is not held and available.

Yours sincerely,

Lisa

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to Manatû Hauora (the Ministry of Health) on 21 September 2022 for
information regarding long COVID-19 in New Zealand. You requested:  

 

“I request under the Official Information Act all data held regarding Long
COVID in New Zealand.”

As you were advised on 14 September 2022 under OIA reference H2022010466,
Manatû Hauora does not yet hold data on long COVID-19.  

 

Coding is currently being rolled out across the health sector. Manatû
Hauora expects to begin reporting on long COVID conditions in the near
future, once there is regular use of the code allowing this information to
be tracked. Therefore, your request is refused under section 18(g)(i) as
the information requested is not held by Manatû Hauora. You may wish to
make a new request for this information at the end of the year. 

 

Publicly available information regarding long COVID can be found at the
following links: 

* [1]www.health.govt.nz/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-health-advice-public/about-covid-19/long-covid 

* [2]www.health.govt.nz/news-media/news-items/long-covid-guidelines-released 

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.

Given that it is an experimental gene therapy and the biggest injectathon of our time you would think they'd be gathering as much data as possible, especially so they could show their substance works. When these organisations are not forthcoming with information or are selective in the data they record and keep it makes you think they know that it is the injected that are experiencing this 'long covid' and that data showing that would not suit the narrative. Just a thought

Dear OIA Requests,

Given five months has passed since I was advised codes were being used I would like to know why you are unable to respond. The original response told me to request this later in the 2022 year and I decided to wait until early 2023 to be sure there was sufficient data.

While I appreciate you resending me one of the later responses I would appreciate your confirmation you have looked at the data available and not just read the last response and resent it.

Yours sincerely,

Lisa
