Australian Senator attacks health bureaucrats over vaccine approval process

Queensland Senator Malcolm Roberts has launched a fresh attack on Australia’s vaccine approval system, accusing the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of relying too heavily on pharmaceutical companies to determine whether vaccines are “safe and effective”.

The TGA is Australia’s national regulator for medicines, vaccines and medical devices.

At a recent hearing of the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee, Roberts queried why the TGA did not independently test vaccines before approving them, instead assessing data provided by manufacturers based on their own clinical trials.

He also criticised the use of existing vaccines or drugs as control comparators in trials, arguing that new products should instead be tested against inert saline placebos.



Roberts described the practice as misleading and alleged it allowed products with side effects to gain approval as long as they performed similarly to earlier treatments. Roberts said peer-reviewed studies had exposed flaws in Covid-19 vaccine testing and that the TGA’s review process was inadequate. The TGA has consistently maintained that it conducts extensive scientific and regulatory assessments of clinical trial data, manufacturing standards and safety evidence before approving vaccines for use in Australia.

“The TGA does not actually test vaccines. Instead, they rely on safety and efficacy data provided by the manufacturer. This data is based on the company’s own testing of its own product. If the manufacturer (drug company) says it’s safe, the TGA gives it a stamp of approval”, Roberts later wrote on social media.

“Furthermore, we know that drug companies are not using the correct process for testing new vaccines or drugs. The standard should be to test the new product against an inert saline placebo. Instead, they use an existing vaccine or drug as the control.

“This means our vaccines have been tested against products already known to have side effects – and approved as long as the side effects of the new drug are no worse than those of the old one. This is criminal behaviour.

“Peer-reviewed papers have shown that the testing on the COVID-19 vaccines was fraudulent. It’s not good enough for the TGA to claim they review documentation carefully; the Pfizer testing scandal proves they do nothing of the sort.”

  1. Then it is possibly that todays drugs and vaccines whose trial results were compared to drugs that trial results were compared to drugs whose trial results were compared to drugs that were not trialed at all? Thats what we call jewing 101.

  2. Roberts is 100% on the money. Only the replacement of globalists with reformer party’s will make any difference, that said.

  3. Pfizer tried to hide their COVID-19 drug trial test data and results for 75 years. Why? We know why now. They can never ever be trusted again.
