From: J Bruning
Dear Environmental Protection Authority,
Re: EPA’s determination process
A. Please confirm all members of the Decision-Making Committee (DMC) as mentioned on this page.
https://www.epa.govt.nz/community-involv...
B. Please provide all information and advice sent from Tim Strabala to the Decision-Making Committee (DMC) members including Dr Kerry Laing (Chair) and Dr Julie Everett-Hincks from January 22nd to February 11 in relation to the DMC's determination whether the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine BNT162b2 (COMIRNATYTM) was a new organism for the purpose of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996.
