This may have already have happened, the sacking of Professor Petrovsky that is. A Covid vaccine developer in Adelaide did not get the required spike protein mRNA shots, as he took his own vax which was conventional. As his vax was not yet given approval by the TGA vax authorities, he was as unvaxxed as me. Talk about irony. His conventional non-MRNA vaccine, COVAX-19, may be the one to get if there is no alternative left, but for me it will have to get pretty grim.
“Australian professor and vaccine developer Nikolai Petrovsky faces losing his job after refusing to get one of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)-approved shots, the ABC reported.
Petrovsky developed his own COVID-19 vaccine, called COVAX-19, through his company Vaxine, which has laboratories at Flinders University. It completed phase one trials in August last year and the Adelaide-based medical researcher has administered the vaccine himself.
However, he now risks losing his job because, as of Nov. 1, workers in health care settings including both public and private hospitals must show proof of at least one COVID-19 vaccine to continue working, as per a government mandate.
While Petrovsky said he is seeking an exemption to the mandate, he claimed he has received a “threatening” letter from Flinders Medical Centre, which is co-located with the university’s medical research labs, stating that he will be suspended from his role if he does not have a TGA-approved vaccine.
“It says that as of yesterday all payments will be suspended and that my position itself will be considered to be made redundant if I don’t submit to having one of their vaccines,” he told ABC Radio Adelaide.
“But obviously under the current mandates I don’t qualify to be able to work. I’m waiting to hear whether SA Health will grant an exemption or whether I’m out of a job,” Petrovsky added.
Petrovsky administered his own COVAX-19 vaccine, which is based on a protein produced in insect cells, and said he does not want to have any other dose, citing safety concerns.
“That could be very dangerous to do. There is no data on what would happen if you had a full course of one vaccine and then had another course of another kind of vaccine,” he said. “Normally you would have to do clinical trials to establish the safety of that approach,” Petrovsky added.
The professor noted that it “would be a little unusual if we had someone else’s vaccine rather than have the one we’ve developed ourselves.”
Frank Pangallo, a member of the South Australian Legislative Council, took part in the COVAX-19 trial in Adelaide last year before going on to have his first AstraZeneca shot, according to the ABC.
Pangallo said he had had no adverse affects after having both the COVAX-19 jab and the AstraZeneca one.”
Well isn’t Frank a lucky ducky. Hopefully things will luck out for him in the long term.
