Shadow Health Minister Mark Butler says public confidence in the Pfizer rollout took a “real hit” after the vaccine overdose incident in Queensland. The aged care residents involved were administered four times the prescribed dose by a doctor who worked for Healthcare Australia, an organisation contracted by the federal government to roll out the vaccine.
The doctor has been stood down immediately and referred to the medical regulator and the Department of Health is independently checking online modules have been completed by all contracted staff. Mr Butler said “the Commonwealth simply has to do better” in it’s management of the coronavirus vaccine and accused the government of a slow rollout with poor communication between the relevant medical bodies. “We need to get confidence back on track.
Mark_Butler_MP BS,get out of your bubble
Mark_Butler_MP WHEN DID ANYONE HAVE CONFIDENCE!!!!! This second rate Vaccine will ensure Covid-19 lingers around in Australia for Years, doing untold damage to our economy.
Mark_Butler_MP Thanks to Labor making it political and scaremongering by the Labor premier. There was no risk to the patient
Mark_Butler_MP And the opposition must be bipartisan on the vaccine, not score political points. This was one person doing the wrong thing. Stop the media criticism of this, it's unhelpful. It's not like LNP are short on real issues currently. AlboMP JEChalmers theage
Mark_Butler_MP So the ALP is now willing to risk public health by scare-mongering about the vaccine.
Mark_Butler_MP Your daily reminder that Mark Butler is astonishingly stupid, craven and shameless.
Mark_Butler_MP It's not about the vaccine, the lack of confidence is for the medical profession & standards in Aust, you know, those highly paid doctors & specialists that amputate the wrong leg & then offer their sincere apologies as they inform you they have to amputate your remaining leg. 😱
Mark_Butler_MP
Mark_Butler_MP No one needs to take it anyway.
Mark_Butler_MP We are so blessed you ain't the Health Minister. You have proven you are inept and just a fool.
Mark_Butler_MP This 👇👇👇
Mark_Butler_MP It shouldn't do. The vaccine is safe. It's even been tested and found to be safe when over the recommended dose is used.
Mark_Butler_MP Can LNP do anything right?

Police and officialdom must apply 'common sense' to enforcing COVID rules | Sky News AustraliaSpiked Online's Brendan O'Neill says there must be 'common sense' applied among the police and officialdom to COVID restrictions after a Polish-Catholic Church in the UK was shut down by police.\n\n'There have been lots of shocking sights during the lockdown, but to my mind, this is the most shocking when you see actual forces of the state go in to break up an act of worship,' he said.\n\n'Lots of these were Polish immigrants, of course. They will remember life under Soviet rule when it was difficult sometimes to be a Catholic in Poland.\n\n'For them to now go through a similar experience in the UK, I think is a betrayal of what Britain is meant to stand for.'\n\nMr O'Neill said the venue was shut down despite church attendance being permitted provided the venue was COVID-secure.\n\n'Apparently, this particular church was COVID-secure; that's what I've heard. Even if it wasn't, the police could have waited until the end of the service. There must be common sense... which tells them it is wrong to do this; that is an assault on freedoms,' he said.\n\n'The other thing to bear in mind is COVID cases in the UK are plummeting... this is overreach by the police and it suggests to a lot of people that the lockdown mentality has just gone too far.'\n\n Seriously... When the country has 1000s dying shutting down a church is a good thing.

'Unfortunately, common sense is not common when it comes to Sports Australia': Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaIt is not 'controversial' to say that male athletes should not compete in the female sport category - it's 'common sense', according to Sky News host Alan Jones.\n\nMr Jones said he agrees with Save Women's Sport Australasia, a 'non-partisan, non-religious' organisation which 'asserts' that 'male athletes should not compete in the female sport category'. \n\n'I am still struggling to understand how such a position is deemed controversial,' Mr Jones said.\n\n'Unfortunately, common sense is not common when it comes to Sports Australia.\n\n'They, along with the Australian Human Rights Commission - by the way, how the Coalition have not yet disbanded the Human Rights Commission I've got no idea – but these two outfits published guidelines two years ago that displaced the category of biological sex in favour of gender identity.'\n Heather Swanson.... The IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete in the Olympics since 2004. As yet, not a single trans athlete has managed to qualify, let alone win a medal. Seems like Jonesy is once again talking out of his arse.

Australia’s vaccine rollout a ‘national embarrassment’: Rita Panahi | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi says Australia’s “glacial pace” coronavirus vaccine rollout is a “national embarrassment”.\n\nMs Panahi said the slow national rollout is “making news around the world”.\n\n“The BBC’s headline said it all: ‘Australia falls 85% short of vaccine delivery goal’,” she said.\n\n“Missed it by that much, somehow a first world nation with one of the best funded health systems is trailing a number of third world countries in vaccinating its population against coronavirus”.\n\n“It’s a national embarrassment.”\n\nShe said we shouldn’t “pretend that Australia’s vaccine goals were too ambitious” because four million was “very much an achievable target”.\n\n“But the health bureaucrats who have pretty much run the country in the past 12 months have been far too relaxed about the glacial pace of the rollout,” Ms Panahi said.\n RitaPanahi Might be a disguised blessing - first blood clot episode from AZ vaccine in Melbourne - see Nine News !! RitaPanahi Don’t worry, you have competition. I believe Canada is even worse RitaPanahi Mongolia is uses everywhere in the world coronavirus biological weapon with chemical weapon and killing people killing economics! We die everyday!
