On the 21st December 2023 Australia’s corporate medical regulator that was set up in 2009, the Australian Health Practitioner’s Regulatory Authority (AHPRA), quietly removed the directive to all health professionals that prevented them from providing the risks of COVID vaccines to their patients.
Here is Dr. Brian Walker MLC, describing this breach of medical ethics by the medical regulator in the WA parliament COVID: What the Hell Happened?
In other, words this directive was a gag order that prevented medical practitioners and allied health professionals from putting their patients best interests first: a breach of their medical ethical code of conduct.
Here is the directive to all health professionals issued on 9 March 2021 that has now been superseded on 21 December 2023, whilst all Australians were on their Christmas holiday. AHPRA have also removed the relevant links to this document from the AHPRA website in this article written about this change of policy by Rebekah Barnett on Dystopian Down Under – Australian Medical Regulator Finally Relaxes COVID Gag Order on Doctors.
