Wikipedia on pholcodine specifically mentions the TGA......

"Australian anaesthetists have requested a ban on pholcodine due to the high anaphylaxis rate in the country. However, the Therapeutic Goods Administration declined the request in January 2015, pending further reviews to follow."

It looks like the TGA did make their move only after.......

"In September 2022, the European Medicines Agency started reviewing its position[17] at the request of the French ANSM, which withdrew all pholcodine-containing medicines[18] after preliminary results from a local study showed an increased risk of anaphylaxis after pholcodine use.[19] The review concluded on 14 December 2022 with the recommendation that pholcodine be withdrawn from the EU market."

So the TGA drags their heals, does no real investigations, and omly acts after other people do the heavy lifting and show harm caused by a medication.

This reminds me of Maryanne Dimasi’s BMJ feature on health regulator funding. The TGA were the most compromised here with 96% funding from industry sources.

Fox in the hen house!

Goes back to the government introducing a user pays model for some regulatory agencies. The "sponsors" of "medicines" are supposed to pay "fees" to the regulator for the privilege of having their drug go through the approval process. In my view it is a system deliberately designed to foster very close relationships between corporations & governments, but it also does one more very important thing, it closes the door for natural therapies that don't have big money behind them.

TGA is as bad as the FDA, both bought out by Big Pharma.

UK Column has been reporting recently on banning of certain cough mixtures in UK. So yes, as usual, ATAGI is just following the "leader/s" and relying on them to do the research.

Safe and effective is not one lie.

It’s two.

When are they going to get it? The risks outweigh the benefits at any age. The more you boost, the more it weakens the immune system because of the kind of antibodies the body produces.

I don't get it either. This is Rand Paul video. Seems like he is advocating for just one shot as he thinks the risk of myocarditis really only goes up after the second shot. Doesn't sound like he wants kids to get the shot though. However adults should at least get ONE. Really? Isn't toxic just toxic? So most people can handle one toxic dose but not two?

Heart damage mechanism is known for Endotoxin in every vial. One shot will do the trick.

While it is true that your risk goes up with each successive shot, even with one shot you are injecting a a product that makes your body generate a toxic spike protein, not to mention the liquid nanoparticule that encases the messenger RNA.

I wonder if AstraZeneca was constructively dismissed. Did the TGA make things difficult for them in order to manipulate them into pulling the pin on their jab so that the TGA would not have to deal with all the scrutiny that could result from a decision by them to discontinue AstraZeneca?

Will.all of the clot shots eventually be removed from the market in a similar way?

Is this the way massvaccination will end? Not with a bang but with a whimper?

I don't suppose this means that Australian authorities will soon be issuing an apology to Novak Djokovic!

Great to see something like this on mainstream media … but it was full of ‘rare’ and ‘very rare’ and made a lot of her mild underlying condition. Still a way to go for some truthful reporting! (I pulled the plug on my subscription to The Oz last year - got so tired of the constant vilification of the unvaxxed by ‘Jack the Insider’ and any right of reply via the comments was blocked. )

Your link to the ATAGI Booster advice page is a bit scary to read.

In essence, Please keep getting jabbed again if you have medical comorbidities or complex health problems.

What are these people, the new Aktion T4 Centre? A cleansing agency of the undesirables?

I don't know if these people are just plain stupid deliberate.

Also note they now are suddenly giving a nod to natural immunity. FFS

From the TGA... "Provisional approval allows us to approve some prescription medicines for a limited period of time while more research is conducted."

Tell me its a Clinical trail without telling me its a Clinical trail!

What I’ve learned in six months as a Substack writer. A couple lessons: Substack writers support one another; Substack itself is the biggest media story in years; people in “blue” states in the U.S. have been some my biggest supporters and I've learned about exemplary journalists like Rebekah!

It’s never a good idea to inject poisonous toxins into people’s bodies.

Outstanding information as usual. Pretty significant changes. As you write, worth some mainstream media attention - which this won't receive.
