I got sent this on WhatsApp.
I've read the draft proposal and mainly they want to authorise people who have no previous training to be able to give a vaccine that will be unlicensed. They will give them limited training. And the person giving the vaccine will be exempt from personal liability. They want to outsource the supply of the vaccines to wholesaler who have no experience with this. Vaccines need to be transported in very specific conditions to be effective, so by giving this contract to inexperienced/ unlicensed wholesalers there may be issues.with the vaccine.
I've attached the full message I received.
What do you think? Have the government tried to sneak it through or are we just not the target audience for the consultant?
Please share this and make sure you contribute your opinions! Please don’t IGNORE IT.
After 18th Sept, the Government are going to say they 'consulted' the public and, because there were no objections, then we all want unlicenced vaccines and we are happy for non-medical staff to administer them and for them to be mass promoted in our country with no public ability to ask for compensation if the vaccine is harmful or we get damaged.
They will say "you agreed to it" ( even though no one saw the government's request to give their opinion as, of course, this request is not being seen by many ).
Please don’t fall into apathy and then complain when it’s too late.
