Dr Luke McLindon’s claims of links between vaccines and miscarriages have fuelled discussions online and at anti-vaccination rallies.
A prominent doctor whose claims of links between vaccines and miscarriages have gained traction with protest groups has, for the first time, detailed how he came to be sacked by a major Brisbane hospital.
Australian health authorities have also referenced a US study of more than 35,000 women, which showed no difference in side effects between those who were pregnant and those who were not. Mater responded that it had noted his claim for natural immunity, however the chief health officer’s direction did not provide any exemption for such immunity.
But Mater refuted McLindon’s claims, saying it “had not observed any change in the rate of miscarriage over the last five years or specifically since the introduction of COVID-19 vaccinations”.McLindon worked for Mater for more than 13 years.
