Tim Crakanthorp has publicly called Clive Palmer a disgrace after residents in his electorate of Newcastle have received pamphlets from Clive Palmer.
The pamphlet made an astonishing claim that 210 people have died from the covid-19 vaccine and 24,000 adverse reactions had been recorded.
The pamphlet also included a link at the bottom to a report from the TGA but not from the original website but from an anti vaxxers website www.thetruthaboutcovidvaccines.com
The therapeutic Goods Administration has spoken out about how Clive Palmer has deliberately misrepresented these figures, you can read the full statement here.
The TGA reviews all deaths and serious illnesses that are reported as possibly being linked to vaccination are reviewed by an expert team of clinical staff and advice is obtained on particular cases from a panel of external medical specialists and community representatives.
The TGA has written to Clive Plamer to remind him of his responsibility of being factual and not miss representing the numbers.
“Public figures have a responsibility to be factual and to not to undermine our health through spreading misleading information. The head of the TGA, Adjunct Professor John Skerritt has written to both Mr Palmer and the CEO of the Grant Broadcasters Radio network to remind them of this responsibility.” A spokesperson from the TGA said.
