‘…but-but-but we’re not one of those crazy, far-right, neo-Nazi, conspiracy theory, cooker, anti-vaxxers!!! We really did suffer from serious vaccine side effects!’

The words might not have been said out loud, but you can almost hear the hasty mutterings taking place after Dr Kerryn Phelps came out yesterday and admitted that both her and her wife have been suffering serious side effects from their Covid shots.

Indeed, today’s Sydney Morning Herald is running their Phelps article with the title: Not anti-vaxxers: Dr Kerryn Phelps says she suffered COVID vaccine injury, calls for more research.

Phelps and her wife took the Pfizer vaccine in July of 2021 and fell ill shortly after.

‘I have had CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, blood tests, cardiac echogram, transthoracic cardiac stress echo, Holter monitor, blood pressure monitoring and autonomic testing. In my case the injury resulted in dysautonomia with intermittent fevers and cardiovascular implications including breathlessness, inappropriate sinus tachycardia and blood pressure fluctuations.’

Yesterday’s news.com.au exclusive titled: Dr Kerryn Phelps reveals ‘devastating’ Covid vaccine injury, says doctors have been ‘censored’ has come as a shock to the luvvie media. 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.

Perhaps most damning of all is Phelps’ confirmation of what people have been saying for the best part of a year – that the Therapeutic Goods and Drugs Administration have not been stringently following up on reports of adverse reactions and so potential cases do not make it into official statistics – which are then quoted as proof of ‘safety’. We used to call this ‘turning a blind eye’.

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. A story like this should be at the top of the Prime Minister’s list, but so far Albanese has not questioned the TGA or Pfizer.

Phelps continues in her comments to news.com.au:

‘This is an issue that I have witnessed first-hand with my wife who suffered a severe neurological reaction to her first Pfizer vaccine within minutes, including burning face and gums, paraesethesiae, and numb hands and feet, while under observation by myself, another doctor and a registered nurse at the time of immunisation.

‘I continue to observe the devastating effects a year-and-a-half later with the addition of fatigue and additional neurological symptoms including nerve pains, altered sense of smell, visual disturbance and musculoskeletal inflammation. 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.

‘Jackie asked me to include her story to raise awareness for others.

‘We did a lot of homework before having the vaccine, particularly about choice of vaccine at the time. 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”.’

Of course, those who refused the vaccine because ‘they did their own research’ were relentlessly mocked and ridiculed by government officials, health authorities, and the press.

The former Member for Wentworth, former Councillor of the City of Sydney, former Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney, and the first woman to be elected president of the Australian Medical Association is a difficult public figure to ignore when she claims that the true rate of Covid vaccine side effects are ‘far higher than acknowledged due to under-reporting and “threats” from medical regulators’.

Even more difficult to ignore is that these claims were made in a submission to Parliament’s Long Covid inquiry and form part of the official record. They cannot be erased in the same way that Silicon Valley deleted individuals who went public about their vaccine injuries on social media.

The medical system in Australia has been fundamentally broken by the introduction of changes to the Health Practitioner National Law – first by the Queensland Labor Party and soon to be copied everywhere – to effectively gag doctors and medical professionals, threatening them with deregistration if they question the official government health advice. 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’.

This is not an exaggeration. AHPRA’s statement to the profession in March of 2021 – which still stands – reads:

‘There is no place for anti-vaccination messages in professional health practice and any promotion of anti-vaccination claims including on social media, and advertising may be subject to regulatory action.

‘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. This includes the Medical Board’s code of conduct, Good Medical Practice, which advises doctors to consider the effect of their public comments and actions outside of work, including online, related to medical and clinical issues.

‘The position statement warns health practitioners who breach this provision may be subject to investigation and possible regulatory action and advises that health practitioners must also make sure that their social media activity is consistent with the regulatory framework for their profession and does not contradict or counter public health campaigns or messaging, such as the Australian COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.

‘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. Advertising that includes false, misleading or deceptive claims about COVID-19, including anti-vaccination material, may result in prosecution by Ahpra. Indeed, Ahpra suspended a doctor last year for anti-vaccination claims made on his social media.’

AHPRA has not apologised – to doctors or to the public – for relentlessly silencing criticism of a near-mandatory collection of emergency authorisation vaccines that have since been revealed to contain serious or life-threatening side effects that were not made clear at the time of rollout. 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.

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. And while health authorities insist that they advise doctors to ‘take notes’ about adverse reactions, those who have tried to speak out have been punished creating an environment of fear that protects pharmaceutical companies and politicians at the expense of patient wellbeing and medical integrity.

Said Phelps:

‘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.’

Phelps, during her submission to Parliament, insisted that she was aware of doctors who were too afraid to speak out about – or record – what they knew to be side effects of Covid vaccines. 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.

‘They [patients] have had to search for answers, find GPs and specialists who are interested and able to help them, spend large amounts of money on medical investigations, isolate from friends and family, reduce work hours, lose work if they are required to attend in person and avoid social and cultural events.

‘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. These people would be an important subset or control group for studies looking into the pathophysiology, causes of and treatments for Long Covid. 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.

‘There has been a delay in recognition of vaccine injury, partly because of under-reporting, concerns about vaccine hesitancy in the context of managing a global pandemic, and needing to find the balance between risks and benefits on a population level.

‘Reactions were said to be “rare: without data to confirm how common or otherwise these reactions were. In general practice I was seeing cases, which meant other GPs and specialists were seeing cases too. Without diagnostic tests, we have to rely largely on clinical history.’

Phelps finishes by stating:

‘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.’

And in her closing, Phelps dispels the myth that we have heard repeated ad nauseam by the press – that myocarditis is ‘mild, transient, and mostly in young males’. Phelps concludes that this is wrong with myocarditis often forming a serious and persistent condition.

‘There can be no progress in developing protocols for diagnosis and treatment and it is difficult to be included in research projects or treatment programs. It has also meant a long and frustrating search for acknowledgment and an attempt at treatment for many individual patients. People who suffer Covid vaccine injury may present with a range of symptoms, and results of standard medical tests often come back normal. And like patients with Long Covid, they too are also asking the medical profession and public health systems for help.’

Despite the extraordinary difficultly that vaccine injured Australians face in getting health authorities to acknowledge their existence – there have been over 3,100 submissions for compensation and 79 pay outs.

Phelps’ story is compelling and sympathetic, but she represents a person with significant power within the medical community who remained silent when ordinary Australians were virtually begging for recognition about the harms inflicted on them.

Imagine how different the discussion would have been if the government had been forced to admit that the former President of the AMA was suffering vaccine injuries at the start of the rollout. 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’?

In January of 2022, Phelps penned an article for The Guardian in which she wrote:

‘While vaccines were, and remain, an important part of the response, we were warned not to rely on vaccines alone … We learned that two-dose vaccine immunity was only temporary and that a third dose or a “booster” would be needed. Even that is likely to wane within months.’

What she didn’t write was, ‘I am suffering terribly from Covid vaccine injuries, as is my wife.’

In August 2021, a month after Phelps reported that she had serious side effects from the vaccine, she took to Twitter stating:

‘How could we possibly reach 80% of population vaccinated or approach herd immunity until children can be vaccinated? #COVID19Vaccination. In 2019, around 19.28% of Australia’s population between 0 and 14 years old, 64.8% between 15 and 64 and 15.92% 65 years old and over.’

Some members of the public may loft and eyebrow at a medical professional recommending a vaccine to children that had caused personal harm.

That said, in the last few months, Phelps has been branching out into ‘conspiracy’ territory, tweeting links to articles such as In rare cases, coronavirus vaccines may cause Long Covid-like symptoms and making ‘cooker’ statements like, ‘Clues to #longCOVID in people with persistent post-vaccine symptoms who’ve not had #covid19 infection.’

The responses to this tweet were largely hidden by the author for obvious reasons…

In trying to speak the truth, Phelps found the left-wing community of hysterical pro-vaxxers gnashing their teeth – almost as though the sanctity of Covid vaccination had become some sort of religious moral purity.

Covid vaccines have become political, not medical, and questioning their safety is essentially a criticism of the puritanical health movement.

In refusing to be honest about their personal experience with Covid vaccines at the start, the likes of Phelps and others in positions of authority – either in the press or in politics – have left the public to the mercy of government propaganda and the financial interests of Big Pharma.

Patients were not protected, they were thrown to the wolves due to the personal cowardice of our medical elite.
