“How the Government Censored the Nation, Killing Up to 100,000 Australians with No Accountability - and Why it's Getting Worse:” Alison Bevege, By Brian Simpson

The gripping title is quoted from blogger Alison Bevege, from her Letters from Australia, which could also be called, "Letters from a Socialist Tyranny." She observes, reflecting on the Covid plandemic, that laws have been enacted to protect "the bureaucracy from all consequences of their actions, leaving them - and their identities - insulated from liability." This protection is explicitly written into legislation and only has the condition that the protective barrier drops if "bad faith" can be shown. That requires proof of intent, which is practically impossible to establish. So the crooks go free, both here and across the West, as dramatically illustrated by the case of the United States and the Biden administration.In Australia the Morrison government gave robust statuary protection to the vaccine companies, and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which approved the Covid mRNA gene-vaccines is protected by Section 61a of the Therapeutic Goods Administration Act 1989 which gives immunity from civil actions. "Thirty five people dropped dead the day they got the shot, according to the TGA's own figures, forced out of it by Freedom of Information Act request 25-0047.

A further 52 people died the next day.

Another 59 died the day after that.

There were 38 deaths on day three, 44 deaths on day four, 35 deaths on day five, 22 deaths on day six, and 19 deaths on day 7.

That is 304 deaths within the first week of injection. Almost half the reported deaths, or 453, were in the first two weeks. No autopsies were done looking for vaccinal spike, the TGA did not even mention it.

The TGA claims only 14 deaths are "linked to" the covid shots out of 1039 fatalities listed on the "time to death" spreadsheet despite no autopsies and more than 300 deaths occurring within a week of injection."

Obviously enough, this is making it almost impossible to obtain justice for the vax injured, as detailed below. The answer will be legislative reform to wind back all of these unjustified protections, and that will be a great battle, but one that is needed. Add this to the list of battles.

"The shock judgement on Thursday against Australians injured by the covid vaccines has revealed a deadly chasm between the public and an unaccountable bureaucracy, on the eve of a federal election.

Federal Court Justice Anna Katzmann's interlocutory ruling on the covid vaccine class action was scathing, ripping into an "incomprehensible" statement of claim that at one point ballooned to over 1000 pages …

Some may blame the lawyers, but even the finest legal team in Australia may be unable to hold any individual in the bureaucracy to account, even when an agency's decisions maim or kill people.

Without commenting on the specifics of the case, which is ongoing, this reveals a growing problem of accountability in governance.

The laws have been written in such a way as to shield the bureaucracy from all consequences of their actions, leaving them - and their identities - insulated from liability.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which approved the covid gene-vaccines is protected by Section 61a of the Therapeutic Goods Administration Act 1989 which gives immunity from civil actions to the Commonwealth or its "protected persons" unless their actions can be proven to be "in bad faith".

Bad faith is the exercise of power for an improper motive, and the absence of an honest attempt to perform the functions of the office - so you have to prove intent, which is nearly impossible.

The warning signs were revealed in 2017 by journalist Joanne McCarthy, after scores of women were hideously injured by Johnson & Johnson's horrific pelvic mesh implants and a Senate inquiry was held into the scandal.

The implants were approved by the TGA without independent evidence of safety and efficacy, gynaecologist Professor Christopher Maher told the inquiry.

University of Canberra academic Wendy Bonython and associate professor Bruce Arnold called for the inquiry to investigate indemnity provisions that protect the TGA from being sued for negligent performance of its regulatory functions, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

"The TGA can't be sued for negligence. It doesn't matter how negligent the regulator, it can get away with it, which is problematic because it removes any incentive towards carefulness," Dr Bonython told the SMH.

In 2019 the victims won a class action against Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Ethicon, negotiating a $300 million settlement, in a case heard by the exact same Justice Katzmann who delivered the crushing judgement in the Covid Vaccine Class Action.

Notice that even though it was the TGA who authorised the mesh implants without independent evidence they were safe, Shine Lawyers did not try to sue the TGA, only the manufacturer. They appear to be untouchable.

That is why the Morrisson Government's secret billion-dollar contracts for the covid vaccines that gave legal indemnity to the drug companies is so devastating.

It removed what might be the only practical avenue of legal redress.

The injured are valiantly trying to hold the government and the TGA to account, and the case is ongoing - but without commenting on the specifics of the case, the bureaucracy in general has shielded itself with an impenetrable wall of legislation.

The courts act as an important check on the power of government, giving citizens an avenue of redress. If no redress is possible because governments have passed laws to prevent it, then what does that mean for our future?

Health Minister Greg Hunt made it all worse in 2017

Another problem raised at the 2017 Senate inquiry was that the TGA was too close to industry and that the regulatory framework completely bypassed consumers in favour of drug companies.

Instead of fixing this problem, then-Health Minister Greg Hunt made it worse.

Hunt, a named respondent in the Covid Vaccine Class Action, is also the one who moved a Bill before the Parliament in 2017, creating the "provisional approval" pathway for novel drugs.

This became law in 2018 allowing the TGA to approve drugs for the market with only preliminary data, watering down safety standards.

This exact provisional pathway was used to rush the covid vaccines to the public.

Killing up to 100,000 Australians

The TGA's decision to allow poorly-tested covid gene-vaccines onto the market has killed and maimed an unknown number of Australians.

Thirty five people dropped dead the day they got the shot, according to the TGA's own figures, forced out of it by Freedom of Information Act request 25-0047.

A further 52 people died the next day.

Another 59 died the day after that.

There were 38 deaths on day three, 44 deaths on day four, 35 deaths on day five, 22 deaths on day six, and 19 deaths on day 7.

That is 304 deaths within the first week of injection. Almost half the reported deaths, or 453, were in the first two weeks. No autopsies were done looking for vaccinal spike, the TGA did not even mention it.

The TGA claims only 14 deaths are "linked to" the covid shots out of 1039 fatalities listed on the "time to death" spreadsheet despite no autopsies and more than 300 deaths occurring within a week of injection.

Regulatory expert Phillip Altman, who liaised between drug companies and the TGA for more than 30 years, told Senator Malcolm Roberts in a Rumble interview (from 02.10.00 on), that the TGA's monitoring system is so under-reported that the death toll is likely to be as high as 100,000.

"It's absolutely astounding. I'm a different person now. I was a different person in 2019. I was a Big Pharma guy … I had no idea of the degree of regulatory capture that was ongoing," he said.

"Seeing what I'm seeing now is something that I would never of dreamt in my life to ever witness and it is so difficult for me to look back and see how blinded I was. I was in the system and I couldn't see it."

How the TGA is compromised

The exact same agency responsible for approving the killer shots, the TGA, is also responsible for counting up the deaths and injuries from the shots that they approved - a clear conflict of interest.

They don't want a huge number of deaths and injuries attributed to a product they approved.

Another conflict of interest is that more than 90 percent of TGA funding comes from the pharmaceutical manufacturers it regulates.

The libertarians who want to defund government should consider that a regulatory agency funded by industry instead of taxpayers produces outcomes that kill people.

Another conflict is the revolving door from government agencies to industry which may encourage public servants to regulate with an eye to their future careers.

Revolving door: Skerritt

Professor John Skerritt, one of the named respondents in the Covid Vaccine Class Action, was directly responsible for the TGA, as its head. He was appointed to the board of Big Pharma lobby group Medicines Australia in December 2023 after leaving the TGA.

Medicines Australia lobbies on behalf of Pfizer and AstraZeneca, the very companies whose products the TGA approved for covid.

In May last year he co-wrote regulatory recommendations on mRNA platform technology with Moderna employee Carolyn Tucek-Szabo, in a paper funded by Moderna, whose mRNA product the TGA approved for covid.

Skerritt was Deputy Secretary Health Products Regulation Group at the Department of Health until April 2023, spent 11 years at the TGA which he headed during the covid panic.

Revolving door: Halton

Former head of the Department of Health Jane Halton (2002 to 2014), is another high-level public servant who now serves the mRNA interests that it is the role of the Health Department and its subsidiary the TGA to regulate.

Halton became founding CEPI chair in 2018, and was re-elected to another five-year term in 2021.

CEPI's mission is to push the mRNA gene-vaccine platform at the highest international levels as a 100-day countermeasure for emerging infectious diseases.

She is co-chair of the COVAX facility, co-founded by CEPI. COVAX takes billions in taxes from developed nations (including Australia) to buy gene-vaccines from Big Pharma for poor countries. This expands the gene-vaccine market under the guise of charity and "equitable access".

Born in the UK, Halton spent 33 years at the highest levels of the public service, going from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet to head the Department of Health until 2014, then the Department of Finance until 2016. She is married to Trevor Sutton, Australian Bureau of Statistics deputy statistitian from 2009 to 2017 when he retired.

Both Halton and Sutton advised the Federal Government as consultants during the covid panic. The Federal Government put Professor Halton in charge of the independent review of Australia's covid vaccine and treatment procurement in 2022, in a clear conflict of interest with her CEPI role as a promoter of mRNA gene-vaccines.

Her review made eight recommendations that encouraged more gene-vaccine purchasing, including that Australia should encourage booster uptake in 2024 with public health campaigns, make partnerships with industry, buy more Moderna mRNA so children under five have access, and to consider making the pandemic removal of "regulatory burden" permanent.

People are politics: who makes the decisions?

The Covid Vaccine Class Action has tried to hold four parties responsible for the covid vaccine disaster:

John Skerritt, former head of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA);

Paul Kelly, Australia's former chief medical officer;

Greg Hunt, former federal health minister;

The Commonwealth Government.

The Australian Government Solicitors successfully argued that none of the decisions to approve the vaccines were made by Skerritt, Hunt and Kelly anyway.

Justice Katzmann said: "It is evident … that the applicants do not know who approved the vaccines".

So who can be held to account at the TGA if not Skerritt, whose own former government profile said he had "direct responsibility for both the Therapeutic Goods Administration and the Office of Drug Control".

The Mandarin, to whom he gave an interview, reported him as being directly "involved in vaccine approvals" during the covid pandemic.

If you can't identify the relevant parties then how can they be held to account?

This is a problem with Australia's increasingly unaccountable bureaucracy which is shielding itself with anonymity, obfuscating exactly who is responsible.

The TGA itself says it is responsible for allowing vaccines to be used in Australia, and is informed by the advice of the Advisory Committee on Vaccines (ACV).

The ACV members are appointed by the Health Minister (which was Greg Hunt, named in the lawsuit).

The members for 2021, can't be seen on Google now, only the 2022 members are available on Wayback. They are: Jim Buttery, Jeanine Bygott, Madeline Hall, Kristine Macartney, Ines Rio, Vicky Sheppeard, Adrienne Torda, Joseph Torresi, and Diane Walsh.

We can't know who the key decision makers might have been among them.

Then there is ATAGI, the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation which also advises the Health Minister on the administration of vaccines.

It's ATAGI who advised that everyone over age 12 could inject mRNA vaccines for covid, when healthy children were at zero risk, that mix and match is fine, inject it regularly even if you already had covid.

ATAGI has around 15 voting members. In 2021, ATAGI had a Covid-19 working group which also advised the ACV. The members have been scrubbed from the Government's website but Wayback has an archived copy. The executive group were: Christopher Blythe and Allen Cheng (co-chairs), Katie Flanagan, Robyn Gibbs, Nigel Crawford, Kristine Macartney, Lisa Schofield, Nick Henderson, and Hope Peisley.

The vaccine safety, evaluation, monitoring and confidence Subgroup 3 were: Nigel Crawford (lead), Allen Cheng, Margie Danchin (behavioural science and risk communication), Paul Effler, Cheryl Jones, John Kaldor, Tony Korman, Alan Leeb, Debra Petrys (consumer representative who bravely warned about AstraZeneca for under-50s and was attacked for it), Diane Walsh - plus, last of all, an unnamed TGA representative listed for "vaccine pharmacovigilance".

To have policy made or advice given by anonymous bureaucrats is disastrous. They must be accountable. We must know the decision tree - but Permanent Canberra is increasingly hiding this.

The Health Department, shielded from accountability, still says on its website to repeatedly inject the covid products."
