A Covid
vaccine injury class action has been initiated, as reported by news.com.au
reporter Frank
Chung:
“The class action, organised and crowd-funded by Queensland
GP Dr Melissa McCann, takes 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”.
“The action will argue that the Therapeutic Goods
Administration did not fulfil their duty to properly regulate the Covid-19
vaccines, resulting in considerable harm and damage to Australians,” Natalie
Strijland from NR Barbi Solicitor said in a statement.
Ms Strijland said the action “arises upon the basis that the
government did not truly establish that the vaccines were indeed safe or
effective for use by the Australian public, and the claim now proceeds upon the
basis that the government in fact acted negligently in approving the vaccines
and also by failing to withdraw them after approval based upon the known
evidence”.
“Australians who have experienced a serious adverse event
following Covid-19 vaccination are invited to step forward and register for
this class action,” she said.
A spokesman for the Department of Health and Aged Care said,
“The department is aware of a proceeding commenced today in the Federal Court
of Australia by applicants represented by NR Barbi Solicitor Pty Ltd. As the
matter is before the court it is not appropriate to comment further.”[i]
