A class action, organised and crowd-funded by Queensland GP Dr Melissa McCann, is taking aim at the Commonwealth government and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), along with a number of senior public servants, alleging negligence, breach of statutory duty and misfeasance in public office.
The suit alleges that the respondents approved the vaccines “with no proper or reasonable evidentiary or logical basis to reasonably determine the vaccines to be safe, effective and possessing a positive risk-benefit profile.”
As the public was inundated with government messaging and coercive tactics, such as mandates and the exclusion from society, little information was disclosed about the potential risks of the trial therapeutic that neither stopped transmission or infection.
The existing Commonwealth compensation scheme open to Australians who ‘suffer a moderate to severe impact following an adverse reaction to a TGA-approved Covid-19 vaccine’, has received 3,501 applications and paid 137 claims. Another 2,263 claims are still in progress, while 405 have been withdrawn and 696 deemed not payable.
The nation-wide suit, which reportedly has 500 members, including three named applicants, seeks redress for those allegedly left injured or bereaved by the Covid-19 vaccines. One of the applicants, who suffered a severe heart condition after getting the Pfizer jab is even claiming there was ‘cover-up’ during the vaccine rollout, which hid the potential risks.
Recently, a report released under freedom of information demonstrated the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration had information since January 2021 that the distribution of the lipid nanoparticle, which delivers the mRNA, did not stay in the injection site as claimed throughout the vaccine rollout.
A 2022 re-analyse of the Pfizer and Moderna trial data by the Medical Journal Vaccine (authors Joseph Fraiman, ER doctor and clinical data scientist; Dr Peter Doshi, Associate Editor of British medical journal; Dr Robert Kaplan from Stanford) found that in the trials that led to the approval by the regulators, you are more likely to suffer a serious adverse event from taking the vaccine than you were to be hospitalised with Covid-19. The rate of serious adverse events found by the authors was 1 in 800.
Analysis of the Pfizer documents is also continuing with over 3,000 specialists across multiple disciplines reviewing documents after a legal challenge by a group of scientists and medical researchers who sued the US Food and Drug Administration under FOIA to force release of hundreds of thousands of documents related to licensing of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine.
Attorney Aaron Siri was successful in the case and the FDA originally estimated it would need to produce 329,000 pages, and asked the court for permission to produce just 500 pages per month, which would have taken 55 years. In its final brief to the court, the FDA admitted that the total page count was at least 451,000, but still sought permission to produce just 500 pages per month, meaning that it could have taken 75 years. US District Judge Mark T. Pittman, Northern District of Texas, expressed dismay at the FDA’s proposed rate of production. He found the duration requested by the FDA unreasonable, comparing it to the actions of totalitarian nations. As such, the judge on January 6 ordered the FDA to produce at least 55,000 pages per month.
