The national sorry day register

I am compiling a list of things Rudd can apologise for during his 'now' limited term in office.


"Australia says sorry day" will be acknowledged on the actual date/day (yet to be determined) whereby in Bundaberg, Australia, twelve children out of seventeen who were inoculated with toxin-antitoxin died, five others became critically ill for quite some time during 1928. The Public Health Department of Queensland issued the vaccine to be safe.

There have been many drug trials concerning Australian children from a variety of cultural backgrounds which went terribly wrong, mostly orphans, the indigenous, and children with disabilities ...ie, those in institutions...or receiving institutionalised care.



Should we be saying sorry to these children and their family's too?

Swine flu vaccine trial on 400 kids disappears from the SMH website in August 2009.

Funny how politically sensitive articles just disappear, or are inconspicuously replaced.


So, what was the outcome of 400 children participating in a recent swine flu vaccine trial?



Or is this just another topic best left alone?

Professor Terry Nolan, of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute says the trial is very important to the Australian Government in its decision on how the vaccine will be used in children, given young people have been the most commonly affected by the virus.

......


Note when the clinical trial phases occurred, then relate this back to when the said epidemic occurred here in Australia.

And where were the vaccine trials outcomes published again, oh that's right, they weren't!

Shhhhh....

Private viewing only...apparently.
