one line should have regulatory authorities everywhere punching the STOP button
[it] '.. is replicating in the cells'
that the TGA palms you off with softball non-responsive replies involves a contemptuous disregard for human life and health .. by cretins concerned more about how best to cover this up and cover their own asses
to recall, this is part of the Object of the legislation the TGA is meant to follow:
'... provide for the establishment and maintenance of a national system of controls relating to the quality, safety .. of therapeutic goods ...'
the above, though law, is not observed by the TGA .. non observance = failure = deaths = injuries = diseases .. all preventable when people with consciences are running things .. but those people are absent or cowering
we will have more damning Australian data to share on this front soon
Thanks Rebekah for an outstanding piece that needs to be widely shared.
The actions of FDA and TGA were reprehensible from the start, ie even allowing the incompletely tested mRNA products emergency market access, but that they can still deny safety signals of adverse reactions, excess deaths, DNA contamination, and now DNA replication is unbelievable in the extreme. I say this as a pharmacist and medical industry veteran well acquainted with FDA & TGA.
Why are our institutions such as TGA failing us so badly? It is clear that many of our institutions have been captured by patronage and politically and they are not acting independently in our interests. There needs to be major changes and I dont think appointing a new head would suffice, it needs to be at the institutional governance level.
A terrible product, pushed by terrible people, with terrible consequences.
We all know the TGA will go down with the "Safe and Effective" ship, much like the musicians on the Titanic did. Their assertions are now more parody than reality.
Great piece, Rebekah, and very importantly it is shining a light on a process that should have been public from the outset. The elitism and even arrogance of some scientists and bureaucrats in their attitude towards the public is very disturbing indeed.
The public servants bother me the most because they’re supposed to serve us, but obviously at this stage they don’t and they can’t even be bothered keeping up the appearance that they do.
I agree Rebekah, I’d actually like to see term limits on the public service. 10 years at most for all positions, and some sort of public confirmation process for dept heads or senior managers with a five year limit. Having worked in the sector these senior positions are all invitation only with the pretence of searching widely for the best candidate.
thank you again Rebekah,
