Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been forced to publicly reprimand a rogue backbencher MP who urged Australians not to vaccinate their children against COVID-19. auspol 7NEWS
Queensland MP George Christensen released a podcast on Tuesday called “Do NOT vax your children” in which he said jabbing kids is “dangerous.”The podcast included an interview with controversial virologist Dr Robert Malone, whose views on COVID-19 have been widely debunked.
“It is contrary to the official professional medical advice provided to the government, and I urge parents to disregard his dangerous messages in relation to vaccines.”“More than 90 per cent of Australians aged over 16 are fully vaccinated,” he said. “This is the clear advice to all Australians, who are eligible to have a vaccine, from Australia’s chief medical officer.”
“These are the same medical experts who approve all other vaccines for children in Australia,” Mr Morrison said.“These are the experts [who] have the knowledge, accountability and experience to provide the credible and reliable advice that parents need to make important decisions about their child’s best interests.”
