Watch: Liz Gunn talks to Sue Grey about mRNA jab OIA requests

The discussion began with a summary of Grey’s interview with the Independent Police Complaints Authority over the Parliament Protest.

Grey explained that responses to OIA requests should be made as soon as reasonably practicable, and within a maximum of 20 working days.

‘They almost invariably juggle it around between another department and then give it themselves an extension. I’ve just got one back when they’ve said I’m not going to get a response until 25th January.

‘And the redactions… sometimes you get like five pages in a row that’s all blacked out… all the vital bits are gone.’

As to specific OIA requests, Grey explains in one, the documents show the government knew in April 2021 that myocarditis and periocarditis was a possible cause of harm from the Pfizer vaccine.

‘They managed to avoid doing anything to warn the people of New Zealand until it was too late for Rory [Nairn], and no doubt, too late for many other people as well.’

Part of the documents released relate to the minutes of the government’s vaccine harm committee, which meets every month to monitor safety issues. One name from this meeting is redacted. ‘They redact a name, and I don’t know why they redact one person and leave everybody else’s name there.’

The committee also had a special ’emergency’ meeting in April 2021 to discuss reports of clotting and bleeding from the vaccines.

‘All of those people who died of clotting or bleeding disorders after a vaccine, who have just been glossed off as just a coincidence, or a stroke or a heart attack, potentially, every single one of those has actually been triggered by the vaccine, and the government knew about that since April 2021, and yet they’ve been glossing over it.’
