Paul Brecht, Evans Head

Why should we trust the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) who allowed genetically modified (GM) food onto our shelves and to be hidden in other food products?

For the TGA to give the COVID vaccines the go-ahead pisses me off. When I lobbied them about allergic reactions to GM among people with allergies their reply was that we would have to see wait and see if that could happen.

The way I see that, and the COVID vaccine issue, is that the public will be guinea pigs again.

These vaccines aren’t 100 per cent proven. Why should we except them? Look a bit harder folks at Big Pharma.
