Continuation of previous thread on FOI 4293 in which I requested correspondence b/w the Department of Health #Australia , Facebook & Twitter regarding Dept. request(s) for Facebook posts/groups and Tweets to be removed or flagged from 1 Jan 2021 - 1 Mar 2023.
In this email chain, we can see Dept. of Health #Australia social media team discussing (presumably with Twitter) that they have reported .@CKellyUAP Twitter account for spreading COVID misinformation, Twitter advised that it didn't breach guidelines and DOH requested escalation.
Here is an email chain where Dept. of Health #Australia flagged (was tagged by a user) .@reignitedemaust Twitter post where they have used DOH branding on their content and queried how to remove the post and Dept's logo is not used in the future.
Here is another email chain to Twitter where Dept. of Health #Australia is requesting to take down Tweets
(containing images) which contains Dept's logo which is misrepresenting DOH.
In the previous tweet, the Tweet with info graphic (containing DOH logo thus misrepresenting them) which had COVID-19 deaths as 1, DOH advised Twitter that it is misinformation as we didn't have any COVID-19 deaths in 2021 and was removed by Twitter.
Dept. of Health #Australia reported .@CKellyUAP Tweet to Twitter but to their disappointment (I guess), Twitter advised that the Tweet didn't violated Twitter rules.
NSW state health stakeholders were experiencing harassment from a Anti COVID vaxxer on Facebook and contacted Facebook regarding removing .@reignitedemaust Facebook group.
Here is an email chain b/w Dept. of Health #Australia escalating the request.
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
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?
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.
Recently published TGA #Australia FOI 4251 shows causality assessment outcomes for deaths assessed by the TGA as likely to be linked to COVID-19 vaccination.
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"
🤡👉🏽🌏
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.
TGA has finally published (8 May 2023), almost after an year, documentations on death of a 5 year old (M), 7 year old (M) and a 9 year old (F) following #Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
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.
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.
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.
