Senator Ralph Babet of the United Australian Party has introduced a Bill to parliament, the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Amendment (Vaccine Indemnity) Bill 2023, with the aim of ending the vaccine indemnity schemes that exist in Australia, which gives a legal outer to liabilities for vaccine injuries. According to the Senator: “The potential liability doesn’t end with Covid-19 vaccines. According to the 2023-24 budget, indemnity has also been granted in advance to a manufacturer of a smallpox/monkeypox vaccine and a particular manufacturer of Covid-19 pandemic and pre-pandemic influenza vaccines.” So, here are big interests and money at stake here.
In the US, the story goes that President Reagan had met with leaders of Big Pharma when this issue was raised in the US and Reagan asked why such an indemnity was needed. The vaxxers said because the amount of vaccine injuries would cripple their profits and they could not produce the vaccines. I think we will find the same forces coming into play here as Big Pharma will oppose most strongly the new Bill, and it has a stranglehold upon parliament; see if I am right on this one. But, it is worth trying, for the record.
