ELECTION INTERFERENCE: federal candidate's career threatened over mRNA, Nine Entertainment smears visiting cardiologist Peter McCullough, physician Pierre Kory
Shocking letters show how a federal election candidate had her career threatened over her support for vaccine choice. Respected doctors on tour publicly ridiculed as 'quacks'
Australia’s suppression of covid dissidents has now extended to interfering with a federal election candidate, while two renowned visiting doctors have been publicly smeared for criticising the mRNA products.
Shocking documents have emerged showing respected Sydney dentist Natalie Dumer had her career threatened because she stood for the United Australia Party (UAP) in the eastern suburbs seat of Wentworth for the May 2022 federal election.
Dr Dumer was pressured because the UAP stood for vaccine choice, against the coercive national covid vaccination campaign that made employment and other basic human rights dependent on mandatory injections.
As an election candidate, Dr Dumer had to be able to discuss the issue publicly.
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency (AHPRA) insisted all its members (including dentists) support the coerced covid vaccination and threatened punitive regulatory action against any health worker who criticised the products including on social media.
In a March 2021 position statement, AHPRA and the National Boards stated:
Any promotion of anti-vaccination statements or health advice which contradicts the best available scientific evidence or seeks to actively undermine the national immunisation campaign (including via social media) is not supported by National Boards and may be in breach of the codes of conduct and subject to investigation and possible regulatory action.
“Best available scientific evidence” is a matter of professional opinion, and many highly qualified doctors have now voiced concerns over the mRNA products.
A day after the Sydney Morning Herald published an article announcing Dr Dumer’s candidacy, Australian Dental Association NSW president Michael Jonas wrote a letter to Dr Dumer warning she was at risk of breaching industry regulations by representing the UAP as a candidate and making public statements.
“The public position of the UAP in relation to COVID-19 vaccination does not conform to the position expected of members of the Dental profession,” Dr Jonas wrote.
“Consequently I am writing to express ADA NSW’s concern that this activity may place you at risk of breaching Ahpra regulations and the ADA NSW Code of Ethics.”
Dr Jonas’ letter told Dr Dumer that “registered members of the dental profession should not engage in the promotion of anti-vaccination statements that may undermine the national immunisation campaign.”
“All ADA NSW members are bound by the Association's Code of Ethics which outlines the expectations of our members in upholding and enhancing the integrity and dignity of the profession. Members who are in breach of this Code may be subject to disciplinary procedures.
“I request that you respond to the concerns raised in this letter within 7 days and provide justification for your conduct as it relates to this matter.”
The ADA NSW is a voluntary professional body like a union, while AHPRA is the regulator with the power to interfere with licenses.
Former Liberal MP Craig Kelly, who left the major party to join the UAP over the coerced injections, was outraged by the threat of professional action against Dr Dumer.
He immediately fired off an email to the ADA NSW calling for a retraction and an apology, and threatening possible future legal action.
“Making threats to a person based upon their membership of a political party … (has) no place in a democratic society and it brings shame upon the Australian Dental Association,” he wrote.
“Further, it is my opinion that your letter is a violation of section 327 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (Interference with Political Liberty) in respect that you have attempted to hinder and/or interfere with the free exercise of an Australian citizen of their political rights, including standing as a candidate for a registered political party.”
Dr Jonas then wrote back, refusing to apologise or withdraw the letter, and claimed the ADA NSW had “in no way interfered with Dr Dumer’s political liberties”.
Threats of professional action were not the only intimidation Dr Dumer faced.
Abusive phone calls were made to her surgery by unknown members of the public shortly after the newspaper article appeared, she said.
“I didn’t know it would result in unhinged people ringing my workplace, people calling up saying ‘you’re a bunch of dogs and anti-vaxxers’,” Dr Dumer said on Friday.
‘Anti-vaxxer’ is an offensive term that dehumanises people who criticise covid vaccine mandates to make it seem as though they are against all vaccines.
The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 explicitly forbids any interference with people’s lives over their political activities.
Letters From Australia contacted the ADA NSW to ask for comment and was put in contact with the media advisor for the national Australian Dental Association.
Letters From Australia asked the ADA for their position on medical and political freedom in regards to covid vaccines, and of the freedom of its members to participate in elections even if the party opposes coerced covid vaccines.
The ADA responded via email: “The ADA has no comments.”
AHPRA and the national medical boards regulate individual practitioners.
AHPRA responded to the same questions for comment saying it is up to individual practitioners to decide whether to be vaccinated or not. AHPRA did not say whether or not they support the freedom of doctors to criticise the covid vaccination products.
AHPRA’s response linked to their March 2021 censorship directive in which Pharmacy Board Chair Brett Simmonds, states:
“There is no place for anti-vaccination messages in professional health practice, and any promotion of anti-vaccination claims including on social media, and advertising may be subject to regulatory action.”
Dr Dumer said an unnamed ADA representative had told her she’d have been better off standing for The Greens.
The Greens still publicly support widespread coerced mRNA injections, despite the evidence that they carry a 1-in-800 risk of side effects, do not reduce transmission, and are not needed by healthy under-60s who are not at a statistically significant risk of death from covid.
Dr Dumer said the ADA NSW had later asked her to renew her membership again, however she instead joined a different professional association called AMPS: The Australian Medical Professionals Society.
AMPS has a campaign to stop medical censorship and says on its website that its run by doctors “without the party politics”. It’s part of the new Red Union hub of alternative trade unions including for police, nurses and teachers.
Red Unions were slammed by the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age in 2021 as being ‘fake unions’ linked to the Liberal-National Party. The Australian Press Council later ruled in adjudication 1827 that the story had partially breached its standards of practise that reporting must be fair, accurate and not misleading.
Renowned doctors on tour in Australia vilified by media
Separately, Australia’s dance with medical fascism took a further sinister turn as two renowned visiting doctors were publicly shamed for questioning the mRNA products.
Cardiologist Peter McCullough and critical care physician Pierre Kory were vilified by Nine Entertainment as they prepared for an Australian speaking tour on the covid vaccines organised by United Australia Party politician Craig Kelly.
The pair were insulted as “quacks” touting “wonder drugs” by the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, subsidiaries of Nine, prior to their three-state tour, which ends tonight in Sydney.
Dr Peter McCullough is a highly credentialled cardiologist with more than 650 peer-reviewed papers published in top-quality journals. He was vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center, a professor at Texas A&M University, and testified at the Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services on covid.
Dr Pierre Kory is a respected critical care physician who specialises in pulmonary diseases. He is a former associate professor at the University of Wisconsin where he was chief of the Critical Care Service, and the medical director of the Trauma and Life Support Center. He is the president of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), a group of doctors that came together early in the pandemic to develop covid treatment protocols.
These distinguished professionals were among the earliest voices to warn against the potential side effects of the mRNA injections, and were viciously attacked for it.
They were also targeted for their work in developing early treatment regimens for covid that included the repurposed generic drug ivermectin.
Ivermectin is an anti-viral drug that has anti-inflammatory properties. It is a safe, cheap and unwelcome competitor to Pfizer’s mRNA injections and treatment pill Paxlovid (see video comparison below). Pfizer made $57 billion in revenue last year from these two products, which is more than the GDP of Nicaragua ($42.4 billion in 2021).
Anyone who got in the way of the covid vaccine rollout, such as Dr McCullough, was silenced, suppressed and shoved aside.
New revelations have emerged showing how the US Government colluded with Twitter executives to suppress the expert opinions of top doctors including from Harvard and Stanford, conspiring over Atlassian’s cloud platform Jira.
The public was left unaware of the risks of the mRNA products, leading to injuries in people who might otherwise have chosen not to take them. These vaccine-injured people are now censored and ignored, their injuries not counted.
“The headline act is US physician Peter McCullough … who has been sacked from jobs and stripped of professorships over his views,” crowed Nine Entertainment.
Agitators quoted by Crikey called for the cardiologist to be denied entry to Australia as a ‘risk to public health’.
This is no reflection on Dr McCullough. Medicine frequently has different expert views, because it is an applied science - it used to be called ‘getting a second opinion’. Dr McCullough has earnt the right to have his expert opinion heard through long years of a distinguished career.
UK nurse educator Dr John Campbell told comedian Russell Brand on Friday that scientists like Dr McCullough, Dr Kory and Britain’s dissident cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra had earnt the right to be heard.
“For potential scientific data to be rejected out of hand, before it’s been analysed, before it’s been critiqued, because it doesn’t fit with a particular narrative, is a form of intellectual fascism,” he said. “It’s saying who can speak and who can’t speak.”
Dr Campbell said anyone putting forward a legitimate scientific argument should be able to publish and debate it freely, and any criticisms should be based on the content of the argument and not the person.
“Play the ball, not the man,” he said.
Despite the smears and vilification, the US doctors’ speaking tour has been a huge success with packed venues in the Gold Coast and Melbourne showing how keen the public is to hear a second opinion on the covid vaccines.
The Sydney event at the International Convention Centre, Darling Harbour, was sold out as of Monday morning.
Update 13 February 2023: clarified “no comment” was given from the ADA national entity after first contacting the ADA NSW office, adds pars and screenshot on AMPS, moved screenshot of Crikey headline lower, adds a subhead to separate sections, adds a better image of Age/SMH headline, adds caption to AEC screenshot, adds that the Sydney conference has now sold out.
How did Australia allow things to get this far?
