Update 3/8/22: ATAGI has now approved the Moderna vaccine for under 5 year olds, meaning the vaccine rollout will proceed to toddlers.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has provisionally approved the Moderna jab for children aged 6 months to 5 years.[1] Provisional approval is given to drugs where research is still being conducted, research that might uncover adverse effects not initially apparent.[2]
The risk to 5 year olds from the more fatal, early variants of COVID was as low as 0.0024% or roughly 1 in 40,000.[3] This does not reflect the risk of Omicron, the dominant strain across the world right now, which is estimated to be 78% less fatal.[4] On the other hand, the risk of vaccine caused myocarditis is around 1 in every 10,000 for 12-17 year old boys.[5]
There is simply not enough information on the long-term effects to decide on the risk benefit calculation like the TGA claims to have. The TGA has abandoned the precautionary principle in provisionally approving Moderna for use in toddlers and children when it has no longitudinal, years long research.

This is such sad news because so many parents will have their babies vaccinated and it will just be a case of looking at the DAEN reports to see the outcome.
Senator Roberts, since the Pfizer data has been ordered released there have been numerous instances where Pfizer committed fraud in their results presented to the NIH and CDC. How this medical fraud is being ignored by the TGA is beyond my comprehension. I simply do not believe the TGA’s current management have the best interests of the Australian public as their core tenant any longer, it is obvious the TGA are suffering from regulatory capture. the TGA needs to be defunded and disbanded. Further AHPRA has now been charged with defining protocols to be used by health professionals throughout Queensland. They are summarily aligned with the WHO, the same morons that administered the world wide spread of the Corona Virus, denying for three months that a pandemic existed, then mandating the high threshold PCR tests using a simple corona virus as a calibration sample. No science, no common sense and these are the idiots leading AHPRA, unelected, in most cases not medically educated. This on top of the green climate insanity has not gotten better after the election it got worse.
It is time that everyone is held accountable for what they have done individually not departments where they hide behind.crimes against humanity have been committed in my opinion would be nice to hear the courts on this matter
The TGA are reprehensible in putting infant children at risk. They are reprehensible for putting ‘anybody’ at risk. Our woke government leaders and health bureaucrats have been and are treacherous individuals completely blinded by ‘globalist’ propaganda. I hope, in the long run, that they are exposed and punished for ‘their crimes against humanity’.
What I find reprehensible is parents who will inject their toddlers because of either fear or stupidity…
The Health bureaucrats/advisors are temporary contractors with so much medical expertise as Mr. Brad Hazard have – none!
I am really concerned about this irresponsible decision by the TGA, obviously they are on Klaus Schwab’s payroll and are of no value to the Australian people because like the FDA in the US the TGA is dancing to the music of the Globalist “Elite”/ Rockefeller Foundation/WEF/WHO/UN/Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation or whatever you want to call it and I have a daughter (vaxxed) who has a 2 months old baby (which is also my grandson), I have advised her against getting the jab all the time but to no avail, after all what does a 74 year old guy know! I am worried that she might get her baby vaccinated and there is nothing I can do about it! I also have a son who has four children, when they had the youngest one I advised them not to administer any vaccinations (NONE) right from birth and that girl at 5 years old while still unvaccinated is now the healthiest kid of all four, she is smart, happy and healthy and every kid has a right to be free from any unnecessary medical interference!
Vaccinating children with a drug which as absolutely nothing to do with protecting people but in contrary make them sick & will slowly kill them as per the globalists flits recommendations, those parents should be SUED & JAILED for child abuse !! Adults can do an inform choice as now there are ample info available out here re those haves , but children cannot make that choice & are controlled by their parents who should no better …!!!
Thanks for this article Malcolm. A very disturbing development but not unexpected. i fully agree with David and Corinne’s comments. i cannot believe what is happening. When the TGA wilfully ignores scientific facts which contradict assertions from a proven liar, that leads to the deaths of children, who stops this madness? I hope Malcolm can use parliamentary powers to expose the TGA. Demand a Royal Commission?
I believe Scomo,s brother is a member our the T.G.A.?
Is this a conflict of interest.?
History has it that putting children at risk of physical and mental disorder is common place in this society. The old fruit bowl saying says it all: One rotten apple indiscriminately contaminates the entire fruit bowl. You can heal a slight scratch with a band aid, but you can’t fix a disease by stacking band aids upon band aids. The Wuhan “FLU” was a calculated project to coerce the entire world into submission to the whims of the corporate monopolizing dictatorship. Ever since the radio waves entered the households of the “nuclear family” children have been targeted by the corporate/industrialist world to become hybridized subjects and collateral in a ruthless game played by people of no conscience – such as those working for and associated with the pharmaceutical, chemicals, war and finance institutions. You’d have to get down to the bottom of the rabbit hole, going halfway to bring back a truckload of band aids and a tonne of fake, harmful vaccines, is not the way to fix a perpetual freewheeling problem. Pfizer has conned governments in taking full responsibility while ensuring its own indemnity. Take one government to court, there are hundreds more that keep this crime against humanity going – you’re damned if you don’t, you’re damned if you do. Not too many governments have the spine to hold the corporate “economy” pushers to account. Web site has 60 pages, 21 on the “Flu” – worldpeaceembassy.com/sitemap.html
I have never voted for One Nation in the past… but I spent a lot of time studying the research and data around Covid over the last 2 years and was disgusted to see the TGA and our health authorities taking their lead from corrupt and/or captured bodies overseas. Senator Roberts was one of the very few politicians who took a factual and principled stand for our rights and health. You totally won my respect and changed my views on One Nation. Please keep fighting to expose the failure of the TGA etc. … because this is not over. They will most likely use another virus scare campaign to justify more and increasing controls and mandates in the future if they get away with it this time. They’ve discovered that currently the don’t need to have the “mandate of heaven” if they have the mandates of the WHO.
An utter disgrace – the TGA like all the others is owned by the criminals.. Remove them all..
My wife is unaware of the very dangers and serious threat that TGA apposes on everyday Australians and children, but I fear that her fear will soon force my kids to be vaccinated and if they die I will blame her for not opening her eyes and god know what I would do to anyone and this government if my kids die from this poison please have a royal commission into this matter and bring us justice please mate I beg you. I can’t hold on any longer then I have to god bless you and your hard work.
Thank you, Malcolm, for continuing to stand against this tyranny. I agree with most of the preceding comments. It is abundantly clear that the TGA and AHPRA, along with our Federal and State governments and the mainstream media, have sold us out to globalist corporate interests that want nothing less than total control of everyone and everything. And it beggars belief that so few people can see it!
Two and a half years ago, everyone was shocked to be informed by our trustworthy Governments. Shock, Horror, quick run and get this vaccine.
At the same time, Ivamection was removed as being useless, and anyone advocating it would face heavy penalties. Even today we are subjected to
The best brainwashing ever. Our group saw the evil in this, and all refused
The offer of a Vaccine that can only be used under an emergency.
Why, the TGA discovered human cells in it. This is both here and America America. Every month, the Government has to apply for a new emergency. To keep jabbing.
This is eugenics, genocide and population reduction
One day there will be a Covid Trials and hopefully the guilty will be held accountable – if not then they will have divine justice
They are so arrogant they think they will escape their crimes – what a shock they will have
