Former federal MP Dr Kerryn Phelps says she and her partner have suffered vaccine injuries and is calling for testing for long-term COVID and vaccine injuries, as well as more research into the long-term damage of the coronavirus and the side effects of immunisation.
[The Red Team wasn't there]
Hardliner Phelps legde uit dat, totdat er vaccins waren om overdracht te voorkomen, sterke berichten en maatregelen op het gebied van volksgezondheid noodzakelijk waren om de kwetsbaren te beschermen - waaronder mensen met bestaande gezondheidsproblemen en mensen die het vaccin niet zouden kunnen krijgen.
In a contribution to an ongoing parliamentary inquiry into long COVID, Phelps said she and her wife were both injured after receiving COVID vaccinations. She said her wife, Jackie Stricker-Phelps, suffered from long-term symptoms such as persistent nerve pain and fatigue after her first injection, while Phelps herself developed symptoms such as respiratory distress and irregular blood pressure after her second jab.
In an interview, the former president of the Australian Medical Association and doctor said more research is vital to understanding both the disease and vaccine damage as the pandemic continues.
"Mensen die verwondingen hebben door vaccins zijn geen anti-vaxxers want ze hebben zich laten vaccineren. Ze willen zich beschermen tegen de ernstige gevolgen van COVID," zei ze.

De website van de Therapeutic Goods Administration van de Australische regering zegt dat vaccinatie tegen COVID-19 de meest effectieve manier is om het aantal sterfgevallen en ernstige ziekten als gevolg van de infectie te verminderen en dat de beschermende voordelen van vaccinatie "veel groter" zijn dan de potentiële risico's.
The institute says COVID-19 vaccines, like all drugs, can cause some side effects, including injection site reactions, headache, muscle aches, fever and chills, and monitors and investigates reports of myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, especially in younger age groups.
[Lots of Long COVID though!]
In the week to Dec. 13, nearly 111,700 COVID cases were reported [working top he those vaccines], an average of nearly 16,000 cases per day. Hospitalizations rose 8.9% in the same week to a seven-day moving average of nearly 3,300.
Phelps zei dat een "aanzienlijk aantal" mensen aan langdurige COVID leed en dat het duidelijk was dat herinfectie een ernstige risicofactor was. In haar verklaring wees zij op schattingen van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie dat 10 tot 20 procent van de mensen die COVID oplopen, blijvende symptomen hebben.
"We worden geconfronteerd met een catastrofale tol aan invaliditeit als gevolg van langdurige COVID met brede gevolgen voor gezinnen, de gemeenschap, het gezondheidsstelsel, de beroepsbevolking, de economie en alle overheidsniveaus," zei ze in haar verklaring.
"Mensen die lijden aan langdurige COVID, mensen die ondanks vaccinatie medisch kwetsbaar zijn en mensen die niet meer gevaccineerd kunnen worden, dragen een oneerlijke last van de pandemie omdat deze zich door de gemeenschap kan verspreiden bij gebrek aan doeltreffende volksgezondheidsmaatregelen."
Phelps said the current response to the pandemic could include not only vaccines, but also better ventilation in schools, a zero-transmission approach for hospitals, mandatory isolation periods, access to better masks and better public health messaging.
[Long Covid is very bad and so is that other one]
Nearly three years after the first case of COVID was discovered in Australia, Phelps said recognition of long-term COVID is still on the rise and it will also take time to better understand the Vaccine injuries. It noted in its contribution that the symptoms of vaccine injury resemble prolonged COVID, including brain fog and fatigue.
"Deze mensen zouden een belangrijke subgroep of controlegroep vormen voor studies naar de pathofysiologie, oorzaken en behandelingen van langdurige COVID," schreef zij.
In the interview, Phelps said it's vital to figure out how people suffering from the long-term consequences of long-term COVID and vaccine injuries can be treated.
"Een van de dingen die we moeten doen is ervoor zorgen dat we tests krijgen, we hebben geen specifieke onderzoeken, die zullen zeggen dit is de long COVID test, whether this is the vaccine damage test," zei ze.
More than 64 million vaccine doses have been administered across the country, as of Nov. 16, and since December 2021, people injured by a vaccine can file a claim through the vaccine claims scheme. A Services Australia spokesman said the department has received 3100 applications as of Nov. 23, and 79 applications have been approved for claims totaling $3.9 million.
"Het beoordelingsproces kan complex zijn, en aanvragen kunnen ook onafhankelijk worden beoordeeld door medische en andere gekwalificeerde deskundigen", aldus de woordvoerder.
Phelps was nummer 510 van 531 bij het onderzoek van de parlementaire gezondheidscommissie naar langdurige COVID en herhaalde COVID-infecties, onder voorzitterschap van Labor Dr. Mike Freelander. Phelps zei dat het onderzoek een "echte kans" was voor een geïnformeerd gesprek over plannen voor de toekomst met het coronavirus.
