“Within this group of vaccine injured individuals, there is a diminishing cohort of people who have symptoms following immunisation, many of which are similar to Long Covid (such as fatigue and brain fog), but who have not had a Covid infection. “People who suffer Covid vaccine injury may present with a range of symptoms, and results of standard medical tests often come back normal. “Considering that the majority of Australian adults have now had at least one booster, this suggests that the incidence of serious adverse reactions per vaccinated person could be more than 1-in-1000. The PI documents are available on the TGA website. “We did a lot of homework before having the vaccine, particularly about choice of vaccine at the time. The diagnosis and causation has been confirmed by several specialists who have told me that they have seen ‘a lot’ of patients in a similar situation.” The TGA also publishes information about adverse events in the Covid-19 vaccine safety report.” Without diagnostic tests, we have to rely largely on clinical history.” The Product Information (PI) documents for Covid-19 vaccines include information on adverse events including the expected frequency, when known. It is possible that there is at least some shared pathophysiology between vaccine injury and Long Covid, possibly due to the effects of spike protein.” [heard stories](https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/its-killing-us-familys-horror-armwrestle-with-vax-scheme/news-story/ec80e2b805a56197e33d17a5c2c572da) of vaccine injury from “patients and other members of the community”.

“Many report that their problem-solving skills have been impacted and with increased anxiety levels it has been hard for them to ‘navigate the system’ to get assistance and try to make sense of the symptoms alone.” “A large number of people with long COVID have found it very difficult to advocate for themselves,” the submission said. “The diagnosis and causation has been confirmed by several specialists who have told me that they have seen “a lot” of patients in a similar situation. Dr Phelps also raised concerns about the taboo subject of vaccine injury which she said was something “few in the medical profession have wanted to talk about”. “The absence of an honest, effective and trustworthy public health campaign has left a space for misinformation fuelled by vested interests and has generated a lot of confusion, aided and abetted by many of the mainstream media.” “This virus is starting to demonstrate the extent of the risk of long-term effects on the body especially the immune system, lungs, brain, and cardiovascular system,” she wrote.

“We’ve had just under 350 inquiries about adverse outcomes, and they have been extremely varied, but most of them have a condition that has some ongoing impact. And so we’re going to be doing some stuff to bring accountability there,” DeSantis So far, the government has paid out $937,000 after several hundred applications were accepted under [Australia](https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-australia)’s COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme, budget numbers revealed. They said that the vaccines may cause some side effects, including headache, muscle pain, fever, and chills, although more and more studies have shown that there is an elevated risk of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination, namely among younger people. “The diagnosis and causation has been confirmed by several specialists who have told me that they have seen ‘a lot’ of patients in a similar situation.” They’re wanting to protect themselves against the serious consequences of COVID,” “In asking about adverse side effects, we were told that ‘the worst thing that could happen would be anaphylaxis’ and that severe reactions such as myocarditis and pericarditis were ‘rare.’” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Australian government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration say that COVID-19 vaccines are the most effective way to reduce deaths and hospitalizations from the virus. “I have had CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, blood tests, cardiac echogram, transthoracic cardiac stress echo, Holter monitor, blood pressure monitoring and autonomic testing,” the doctor said. The doctor, meanwhile, said she spoke with other medical practitioners “who have themselves experienced a serious and persistent adverse event” but that “vaccine injury is a subject that few in the medical profession have wanted to talk about.” Former Australian Member of Parliament Dr. Perhaps anticipating the stigma that would be associated with reporting their vaccine-related injuries, Phelps said that neither she nor her partner are “anti-vaxxers,” adding that “people who have vaccine injuries are not anti-vaxxers, because they have turned up to have vaccines.

Overall, studies demonstrate that vaccine effectiveness wanes over about four to six months after completing the two-dose primary schedule and subsequent booster doses.” “The burden of proof seems to have been placed on the vaccine injured rather than the neutral scientific position of placing suspicion on the vaccine in the absence of any other cause and the temporal correlation with the administration of the vaccine.” The doctor said that if the discussion around vaccine injury continues to be smothered, there would be little progress in “developing protocols for diagnosis and treatment” and that this would lead to research projects or treatments progressing slowly. Within this group there is a “diminishing cohort of people who have symptoms following immunisation, many of which are similar to Long COVID (such as fatigue and brain fog), but who have not had a COVID infection,” Phelps added, noting that this is “possibly due to the effects of spike protein” from COVID vaccines. “Regulators of the medical profession have censored public discussion about adverse events following immunisation, with threats to doctors not to make any public statements about anything that ‘might undermine the government’s vaccine rollout’ or risk suspension or loss of their registration.” Kerryn Phelps says she recently suffered from a vaccine injury and that she faced “obstruction and resistance” to openly discuss the issue, according to a

She noted this “large spectrum of side effects” had “quite similar symptoms” to Long Covid. But certainly quite a number of doctors that I’ve spoken to have felt impeded in speaking out about their concerns about vaccine adverse events because of the statement made by AHPRA that doctors shouldn’t say anything that was going to impede the government’s vaccine rollout. “And they’re experiencing a whole range of different types of vaccine events. “I went back and had the second vaccine thinking that, you know, it is a rare reaction and again on the balance of risks and benefits [it was worth it]. “Within minutes of having the vaccine, [Jackie] had a quite severe reaction with numbness of the hands and feet, tingling all over her body, her head feeling like it was going to explode [with] pain. They’re experiencing things like cardiovascular events, with myocarditis and pericarditis. Asked why the medical regulator warned doctors not to speak out about vaccine side effects, Dr Phelps said, “You have to ask AHPRA themselves about their motivation. “The concerns raised about the practitioners related to the spreading of misinformation about Covid-19 or vaccination advice, including that the Covid-19 pandemic was fake, that the vaccination program was about government led mind control or in some instances representing that patients would develop cancer by having a vaccination administered,” she said. In a statement on Tuesday, the regulator said it had “been clear in all of our guidance about Covid-19 vaccinations that we expect medical practitioners to use their professional judgment and the best available evidence in their practice”. “Over the process of the last one-a-half years or so, I have also spoken to a number of colleagues who have had vaccine adverse events themselves, patients who have had vaccine adverse events,” she said. Dr Phelps said after seeing a number of specialists, “the conclusion was that she had had an injury related to the vaccine”. “We obviously did a lot of homework about the vaccines and went along to have the vaccines because we believed that on the balance of risks and benefits that was the best thing to do,” she said.

Would, for instance, the Victorian president of the AMA Dr Roderick McRae have been able to say that ‘Covid-deniers’ and ‘anti-vaxxers’ should opt-out of the public health system and ‘let nature take its course’? ‘Within this group of vaccine injured individuals, there is a diminishing cohort of people who have symptoms following immunisation, many of which are similar to Long Covid (such as fatigue and brain fog), but who have not had a Covid infection. ‘While vaccines were, and remain, an important part of the response, we were warned not to rely on vaccines alone … The world created by regulators means that it doesn’t matter if the official health advice is wrong or dangerous, doctors are firmly encouraged to uphold the government line against the hesitancy and concern of their patients. Because of the behaviour of AHPRA and others, Australians were denied informed consent, the best possible medical information, and the choice to discuss their health options openly with their doctors. There was, in effect, a secret consensus regarding the dangers of Covid vaccines that could not be spoken about for fear of retribution from AHPRA. ‘The position statement reminds doctors and other health practitioners that it is an offence under the National Law to advertise a regulated health service (including via social media) in a way that is false, misleading or deceptive. ‘Any promotion of anti-vaccination statements or health advice which contradicts the best available scientific evidence or seeks to actively undermine the national immunisation campaign (including via social media) is not supported by National Boards and may be in breach of the codes of conduct. The diagnosis and causation has been confirmed by several specialists who have told me that they have seen ‘a lot’ of patients in a similar situation. In addition, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency also warned that doctors caught ‘undermining’ Covid vaccines or the government rollout at the beginning of the pandemic would ‘face consequences’. If this is true, and Australia’s vaccine injury statistics are incomplete due to a failure on behalf of the TGA, then all subsequent claims about vaccine safety are rightly called into question. I suspect the readers of this magazine will be less surprised by the revelation that medical professionals have been keeping quiet about their negative experiences with the vaccine.
