Dear Shane Reti,
Below is a paste of the statement you have recently issued.

I am reassured by experts confirming that there is no evidence supporting the allegations that have been made.”
Under the official information act please provide all of the correspondence and analysis from those said experts that directly supports the statement you have made that "there is no evidence supporting the allegations that have been made."
Yours faithfully,

Kia ora M Bell,
Thank you for your request for information on 11 December 2023, asking for
the following which is being considered under the Official Information Act
1982 (the Act):
““There are many conspiracy theorists out there who unfortunately
disseminate harmful disinformation, however, as Minister and as a
physician, the public can and should continue to have confidence in
vaccines. I am reassured by experts confirming that there is no evidence
supporting the allegations that have been made.”
Under the official information act please provide all of the
correspondence and analysis from those said experts that directly supports
the statement you have made that "there is no evidence supporting the
allegations that have been made."”
This office has decided to extend the period of time available to respond

cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
You can now expect a response to your request on, or before, 22 February
2024.
You have the right, under section 28 of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to
review my decision to extend the time available to respond to your
request.

Dear Shane Reti (MIN),
I have looked at all of the information that you have provided and I did not find any indication that any analysis has been done to rebut the leaked data. Furthermore MoH and HNZ have told me in another OIA response that they have not actually performed an analysis or rebuttal of the leaked information. The 3 emails provided appeared to be mere regurgitation of public messaging, without indication that the leaked data has even been critiqued.
My request was “please provide all of the correspondence and analysis from those said experts that directly supports the statement you have made”. Therefore if you actually have provided all of the correspondence and analysis, I can only conclude that firstly the experts have not confirmed anything, and secondly your press statement is self refuting as clearly there IS evidence of excess deaths alongside a very strong temporal association with the C19 injections.
I will mark this OIAR as “information not held”, thanks anyway for the response Dr Reti.
Yours sincerely,
M Bell
