From: Chris McCashin
Dear Government Services,
Thank you for the response - seems the vaccine was a real success for kiwis - 1,000's of injuries, millions paid out in claims, four confirmed deaths, hundreds of suspect deaths and still this is being given? Does ACC not want to stop paying out for injuries? Have you not relayed things to "Ministry of Health" that thousands of claims are coming in and maybe it should be stopped / suspended and an investigation take place?
Just a follow up on the information you provided
- Of the 1,585 claims accepted can you tell me if any of these people have since passed away?
- For example, if the illness was bad enough that people were paid out in excess of $100,000 then what is the status of the people that have been paid out? Money doesn't fix their illness so who is monitoring their health going forward?
- And if somebody dies from the complications from the injury then surely there is a causal link to the vaccine and impacts the safety profile?
So who is responsible.
Yours sincerely,
Chris McCashin
