VACCINE PROGRAM IN JEOPARDY! THE Federal Government's plan to immunise the population against swine flu is in chaos because doctors' insurers may not cover them to administer the jab, saying inadequate testing and the possibility of spreading other infections mean there is too high a risk that patients will sue them later. Despite weeks of crisis talks, the Government has refused to underwrite doctors' liability for the vaccinations, and medical groups say the program - due to start as early as mid-September - cannot proceed unless doctors are insured. Andrew Pesce, president of the Australian Medical Association, said ''the indemnity issue needs to be sorted out or else the vaccination program won't go ahead''. ''In the environment we're in, someone has to be held accountable for rare vaccine reactions that may occur … if the Government decides there is a priority need to roll out the vaccine, then it has a duty to indemnify the doctors who provide it,'' he said. Ronald McCoy, a spokesman for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, said the wrangling could undermine community confidence in the vaccine's safety. ''It's the public's health that's at risk here,'' he said. In May, Health Minister Nicola Roxon announced an order with vaccine supplier CSL Ltd for 21 million doses - enough to protect at least half Australia's population from the flu strain. But insurers believe the distribution of the vaccine in multiple-dose vials exposes people to an unnecessary risk of blood-borne infection from other recipients. As well, they believe the possibility of rare side effects has been inadequately explored. These issues, they say, will make it hard for doctors to advise people whether or not to have the injections, exposing them to patient complaints that they were not properly informed. Ellen Edmonds-Wilson, chief executive of the Medical Indemnity Industry Association of Australia, said it was up to individual insurers ''to make an assessment of the risk [from] the drug'', which she noted had not yet been approved by the Government's Therapeutic Goods Administration. Medical defence organisations MDA National Insurance Pty Ltd and Avant Mutual Group said they were still considering whether to indemnify members who gave patients the vaccinations. Lisa Clarke, Avant's general manager of claims, said the industry was ''in ongoing discussions with the [health department] on the proposed roll-out''. Elda Rebechi, a spokeswoman for the insurer Medical Indemnity Protection Society Ltd, said the company would cover doctors, but warned them to ''appropriately advise patients that the vaccine is untested and may have [currently] unknown consequences''. But the head of clinical research at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance at the University of Sydney, Robert Booy, said the insurers' arguments were superficial and ''unnecessarily inflammatory'' and proper training of clinicians would virtually eliminate the risk of infection. |

VACCINE PROGRAM IN JEOPARDY! The media have been making up false reports about deaths from swine flu, everyone who dies from any influenza related illness in Oz is said to have died from ' Swine flu', they stopped reporting after half of Australia had it, and only 5 terminally ill people had died from it. It has now magically jumped up into the 'hundreds'. The vaccine itself has been proven useless, uneffective, and has such toxic chemicals with toxic side effects, that insurance companies wont even ensure doctors. Doctors in Oz dont want to vaccinate anybody with this shit, even with insurance, the Australia Medical Association has taken the stance against this vaccination, stating that it is unsafe, unproven, and will only spread greater infections and illness. Australian winters arent exactly flu season. In the second last week of winter it was 37 degrees celcius ( 100 faren). We are now in spring, why is our government atempting to make people take such a dangerous vaccine, when there is no real threat?? Sounds like there will be more room made in the gallows on top of 9/11 criminals, Iraq war criminals, bankers and their cronies, and yes, the swine poo crew. Line em up. |

Quoting: Ossie blokeSome one should shoot you in the fucking face and skull fuck you! fucking twat, why should Drs and Nurses be forced to give a vaccine and then pay for any damages? You fucking retarded bastard - if its deadly, don't take it, and the vaccine maker should have to pay damages, not the Drs and Nurses. Stupid cunt. |

Quoting: Ossie blokeThats what it sounds like there trying to do. It will never happen. Most Aussie doctors know what is going on and dont want any part of it. Or perhaps, the world health organisation ( 5 biggest pharma companies) should force governments to force doctors to force citizens to forcibly take a deadly vaccine, and force the doctors to take the rap!!!!!! Or we can just arrest these crims? Better yet we can just tie them up when the economy falls and send them to be hung in bagdad, and make peace. |

VACCINE PROGRAM IN JEOPARDY! ozzies come to the rescue! Beyond one's own mind there is no dazzling light to come shining in from outside to wake one up. If one recognizes one's own intrinsic State as pure from the beginning and only temporarily obscured by impurities, and if one maintains the presence of this recognition without becoming distracted, then all the impurities dissolve. This is the essence of the Path-namkhai norbu. Why is there a legend about the descent of Christ into hell? The Teacher addressed the lower strata of the astral world, saying: �Why, by cherishing earthly thoughts, bind oneself eternally to Earth?� And many revolted in spirit and rose higher.
