On 9 March 2023, I requested all correspondence between the Department of Health and Aged Care #Australia , Facebook and Twitter regarding Dept. request(s) for Facebook posts/groups and Tweets to be removed or flagged from 1 Jan 2021 - 1 March 2023.

FOI 4293 - A 🧵

PART - 1/3 ImageImage
Department of Health and Aged Care, #Australia Social Media unit reached out to Facebook querying if Facebook group "United Collective" infringed its policy (spreading misinformation) and as a result if it can be shut down?

This group is still online:-
facebook.com/groups/1125787… ImageImage
Following this, Facebook advised that they reviewed and deleted 9 piece of content for violation of their policies.

Facebook also advised Dept. of Health #Australia to keep an eye on post(s) which might be violating their policy and report them to Facebook for review. Image
Dept. of Health #Australia "thought" this Facebook group's aim is to breach Facebook's COVID misinformation policy and is against the COVID information (mainstream), why Facebook is not removing the group?

Facebook advised that large volume of content does not violate policy. Image
Correspondence between Facebook and Dept. of Health #Australia show discussion about "demoting".

CNET in October 2021 published that Facebook
will demote content posted in Groups making potentially problematic content harder for others to find.

ATAGI #Australia advised today:-
A bivalent vaccine (one dose) is preferred over original vaccines (2 doses) for primary vaccination.

Also:-
"While there are currently no efficacy or effectiveness studies of bivalent vaccines when used for the primary vaccination course"

🤡👉🏽🌏 ImageImage
And perhaps a subtle admission that natural immunity exist 🤔

"....in the context of widespread community transmission in #Australia which suggests that most previously unvaccinated recipients will have some pre-existing immunity from prior infection."

A 🧵on an interesting development in #Australia regarding COVID-19 vaccine digital certificate which is generated using the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) which is a national register that records vaccinations given to people of all ages in Australia.
Australians had (still have to in some work sectors) to provide a copy of the COVID-19 digital certificate to their employers to work "on-site" as COVID-19 vaccines and proof of administration was mandated by state governments across #Australia via Public Health Order.
Here is a sample of COVID-19 vaccine digital certificate (now outdated) issued by the Australian Government which will show all the necessary details including the brand of the COVID-19 vaccine, date of vaccination and number of doses.

.@SenatorRennick brought this to light earlier this year that TGA #Australia refused to publish this data on their FOI disclosure log.

1) TGA FOI 4313 | TGA Ref:- 734187

This assessment is for a fatal (cardiac arrest) AEFI report of 5 yr old Male following Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

Why the causality assessment outcome is Unclassifiable (U) when the TGA was waiting on coroner report?

TGA #Australia has announced today (3 May 2023), that from 1 June 2023, prescribing of oral #Ivermectin for ‘off-label’ uses will no longer be limited to specialists such as dermatologists, gastroenterologists and infectious diseases specialists.

#COVID19 Image
Excerpt from the document (Notice of final decision) shows how and why it is still considered that #Ivermectin is not a useful prophylaxis/medicine for COVID-19 and instead COVID-19 vaccines and treatments should be preferred.

🤡 👉 🌏

#Australia
#COVID19 ImageImageImageImage
Note that Pharmacy Guild of #Australia wrote to the panel and advised AGAINST removing the Appendix D entry because they think that if #Ivermectin is available, people may choose not to get vaccinated.

This is greed - nothing to do with health.

Wild!
