Australian Court Rules Employers Who Mandated Jab Legally Liable for Injuries
Saturday, May 11 2024
It is the role of physicians to provide the best advice to their patients and also to fully disclose all risks (against the benefits) of any treatment or intervention. In this case, the alleged makers of the injections (such as Pfizer, Moderna) hid this information (from most of the world) and hence it did not filter all the way down to the physicians. However, that does not absolve them from responsibility as they have to do their own due diligence in looking after the patient’s interests.
A South Australian court has ordered employers who mandated COVID-19 vaccines for their employees will be held legally liable for injuries caused by the jab.
The Employment Tribunal ordered compensation for SA government employee Daniel Shepherd, 44, who developed pericarditis after being mandated to have a third dose of the vaccine in February 2022, per ABC News.
The SA government mandated under the Emergency Management Act in January 2022 that certain workers were required to get a booster to keep their jobs.
Shepherd, former child and youth support worker with the Department for Child Protection (DCP), has been off work since March 2022, save for a two-month part-time period doing administrative work.
He made a claim for vaccine-related injury workers compensation, but was rejected — however the court ruled in his favour when he appealed. The Court of Appeal ruled he is entitled to workers compensation for the vaccine injury, including weekly income support and medical payments.
Despite DCP arguing it should be excluded from liability due to Shepherd’s injury being a result of the Emergency Management Act directive, Tribunal Judge Mark Calligeros ruled the vax mandate and DCP were "both significant contributing causes" of his injury.
