Informed Consent #29 - When did the PM receive the post-marketing info from Pfizer
Annie Weston made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
The request was refused by Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
From: Annie Weston
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
Pfizer as part of its consent obligations would have had to provide you with this document within five working days from 30 April 2021:
5.3.6 CUMULATIVE ANALYSIS OF POST-AUTHORIZATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS OF PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) RECEIVED THROUGH 28-FEB-2021
https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/202...
Pfizer as part of its consent must fulfil the following obligations within the timelines specified:
4) Provide any reports on efficacy including asymptomatic infection in the vaccinated group, vaccine failure, immunogenicity, efficacy in population subgroups and results from post-marketing studies, within five working days of these being produced.
https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/regulatory/P...
Under Section 35 of the Medicines Act 1981 the Minister can revoke any consent given if he is of the opinion that the medicine can no longer be regarded as a medicine that can be administered or used safely for the purposes indicated in the application for consent.
The approved indication is active immunisation to prevent Covid-19. Active immunisation is the induction of immunity after exposure to an antigen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_imm...
If the Prime Minister or any of the Cabinet were aware of the post-marketing information from Pfizer and chose not to release it publicly then they are complicit in the deaths of New Zealanders who were not fully informed in order to give consent before they received the vaccine.
If the Prime Minister or any of the Cabinet were not aware of the above document then there are grounds to withdraw provisional consent to Pfizer based on the following reasons:
1) Not providing the document within five working days from 30 April 2021.
2) The medicine was not administered or used safely as 100 plus potential adverse effects were not provided to the public at the time of the vaccine roll-out.
3) Vaccinated individuals are not immune to Covid-19 and can infect other people with Covid-19 so the approved indication cannot be achieved.
My question please:
When did the Prime Minister receive the post-marketing information from Pfizer?
Yours faithfully,
Annie Weston

Dear Sarah Corbett,
I'd like to know when the Prime Minister received the post-marketing information from Pfizer.
You "believe that the information is more closely connected with the functions of the MOH" and so have transferred me.
I have actually already asked the MOH when they received it and I'm waiting on their reply.
I understand you believe that the MOH will know when Jacinda Ardern herself received the information but if they gave it to her then surely your department will know when you received it?
Or in the event she didn't receive it then surely you will also know that?
Yours sincerely,
Annie Weston
