So we have the chook as premier, the goose as deputy premier and the quack as chief medical officer. F*ckers one and all.
Sorry but my rant filter was off and this got through. What exactly is the "bloody disgrace"? Do you disagree with Dr. Young's advice? If so, on what grounds? Do you have qualifications more suitable than Dr. Young's with which to judge the situation and determine the safe age parameters for injection of the experimental AZ therapy? Are you a quack? Let's hear it.
I understood Dr. Young's advice was in keeping with the latest ATAGI advice:

Sounds like good advice to me. What's the real motivation for your dissatisfaction, Foxxster?

Oh.
Informed. Yes, I see the problem. You think it's a disgrace that we don't have informed consent here in Australia. I completely agree.
