The High Court ruled today in Nga Kaitiaki Tuku Iho Medical Action society Inc v Minister of Health and others [2021] NZHC 1107 that it is reasonably arguable that the provisional consent for the Pfizer vaccine is unlawful.
The government has responded by announcing it will change the law tomorrow without consultation or due process.
This is not just a technical law change.
Medsafe used the s23 “Provisional Consent” process because their own advisors said they could not give it a full s20 consent for everyone in NZ over s16 because the safety, efficacy and integrity testing was incomplete.
This is not surprising because so far there has been only two months of study, and the full clinical trials wont be finished until 2023. The approved data safety sheet and Risk Management Plan identify an array of risk, uncertainties and possible harm.
IN SIMPLE TERMS NOBODY KNOW IF THIS NOVEL mRNA VAX IS SAFE, IF IT STOPS INFECTION OR TRANSMISSION, or IF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS HAS INTEGRITY.
The vaccine could not be approved because it fails the simple s22 test of showing the benefits exceeds the risks.
The proposal to change the law tomorrow IS NOT a minor technical change. It is a change that will protect Pfizer at the expense of public safety.
As an ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE your duties are to the public of New Zealand. These duties include:
-
the duty to act in the public interest
-
the duty to uphold the rule of law and treat the law with respect
-
the duty to promote best medical practice and approve a medicine only where the benefit exceeds the risk, especially when the intent is to inject healthy people against a disease that is not here,
-
a duty to engage your brains and think - Pfizer demanded an indemnity and confidentiality before they would supply here- ie they don't trust the safety of their own experimental product
-
a duty to uphold the NZ Bill of Rights and the freedoms it protects
-
respect for democracy including the requirement that all laws have social license from the public especially before our health is put at risk or our rights are removed"
