Dear Office of Human Rights Proceedings,
I note as of today there are no decisions or judgements on HRT website covering these discrimination for not being vacinated despite "vaccine passports" being introduced in 2021.

I request all correspondence on policies, procedures, memos etc relating to:

1. the process and handling of any claims, complaints and assistance under disability which section 21 (1) (h) (v)&(vii) and s.21 (2) (b) (ii) of the Human Rights Act 1993:

(1) For the purposes of this Act, the prohibited grounds of discrimination are—
(h) disability, which means—
(v) Any other loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure or function
(vii) the presence in the body of organisms capable of causing illness
(2)(b) (ii) is suspected or assumed or believed to exist or to have existed by the person alleged to have discriminated.

The timeframe is from April 2021 until the present date for any human rights complaints/claims.

2. the subject of discrimination against an unvaccinated person for handling of any claims, complaints and assistance from the above date until the present date.

As you would or should know from existing complaints, discrimination of the unvaccinated is an assumption that because a person is vaccine free, his/her immune system is inferior and impaired making him/her a danger to others around, in particular that an unvaccinated person is more inclined to spread COVID- 19 than a vaccinated person.

I direct this OIA to your office after the response to this earlier OIA to the HRC https://fyi.org.nz/request/23408-hrc-pol... . The Ombudsman's final opinion to me was to contact the OHRP.
Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
