Subject: Official Information request - Mandated and Terminated workers on unemployment benefit

Dear Ministry of Social Development,
Many workers lost their jobs as a result of vaccination mandates in 2021 and 2022.

Would you kindly share the total number of people receiving an unemployment benefit as of today who were made unemployed as a result of vaccine mandates.

Would you also share the total number of people on a sickness benefit as of today for people who were made unemployed as a result of vaccine mandates.

Please share the total number of people on a sickness benefit as of today for people who suffered a medical misadventure or a vaccine injury.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome

Subject: Re: Ministry of Social Development | Your Official Information Act Request dated 13 November 2023

Dear OIA_Requests (MSD),

I note you decline due to substantial collation or research.
I believe you already collating all of this data in your decision support systems, for example in your data analytic system, data warehouse, data lake, data store or other reporting system at MSD.

Your reporting analysts on this system can easily run a report grouped by unique client ID and fetch records based on keyword searches such as “mandate”, “vaccine mandate”, “vaccination”, “vaccine injury” in the case notes.

Are you saying that MSD has no data and analytic support system or data warehouse/data lake system in order to utilize in order to answer this official information act requires?

Yours sincerely,

Erika Whittome
