You would never believe it but guess what ? Australia's independent advisory board on immunisation to the federal government, is full of people with massive conflicts of interest and links to big pharma. I know you are shocked. It's not all that independent it seems.

Substack writer Robyn Chuter outlines the sick joke.........

The Australian Federal government “base[s] their decisions on vaccines on advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) .

This collection of people riddled with conflicts of interest supposedly still provides “trusted medical advice from experts in the field”.

The dense web of conflicts of interest of ATAGI members has been meticulously documented by the Informed Medical Options Party. Here are the highlights:

ATAGI chair Nigel Crawford is employed by Murdoch Children’s Research Institute which has received funding by vaccine manufacturers GSK, Janssen, Merck, Novavax, Sanofi and Sequiris, through the Vaccination and Immunisation Research Group.

Deputy chair Michelle Giles has received payments for travelling, accommodation and registration to a vaccine conference from Pfizer.

Co-chair Christopher Blyth has received funding from Pfizer.

Co-chair Allen Cheng is Director of Alfred Health, which has received payments from Merck, GSK, Gilead, Biocryst and George Clinical, all of which are involved in vaccine manufacturing.

Voting member Katie Flanagan has been involved in research projects funded by grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (which profits handsomely from vaccine sales by holding corporate stocks and bonds in vaccine manufacturers including Merck, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi, whilst dodging tax on its profits) and has received travel and speaker fees from vaccine manufacturers Pfizer, Sanofi and Seqirus.

Voting member Tom Snelling is Head of Infectious Disease and Implementation Research of Telethon Kids Institute, which is partnered with Johnson & Johnson, Roche, Pfizer, Novartis, GSK and Sanofi .

Ex-officio member Kristine Macartney is Director of the National Centre for Immunisation Reseasrch & Surveillance (NCIRS) which receives its core funding from the Federal government but also conducts vaccine industry-sponsored research.

See why you could totally trust ATAGI to give completely unbiased advice on vaccination. Like the Australian Government, its one of the best organisations money can buy.

Same as the US and the UK. And probably many other countries too but l don't know for sure. Conflict of interest doesn't seem to matter when there is a plandemic.
