During the first year of the Covid pandemic he was asked by the Secretary of State for Health, Matt Hancock to advice on the link between covid and obesity and how best to reduce population risk to infection. His recently published third book A Statin Free Life is already a best seller.

Award winning American Science Journalist Gary Taubes describes Aseem as someone who has “probably done more in the UK to inject sanity in to nutrition science and the pharmaceutical industry debate than any human being alive”

Sir Richard Thompson, Past President of the Royal College of Physicians and former personal physician to her majesty The Queen said “Dr Aseem Malhotra is changing the face of medicine and his revolutionary book the Pioppi Diet should be read by everyone”

The Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham said “ He’s really making people think differently about what they eat and how they live their life. Through his work he’s going to change many thousands of lives, millions of lives for the better”

 

Dr Christopher Neil

Dr Christopher Neil has practiced medicine for 20 years, specialising in cardiology since 2008. Completing his PhD in Adelaide and undertaking post-doctoral research and a fellowship in the UK , he has been committed to clinical excellence in the care of patients with heart failure.

Returning to a specialist consultant post in his hometown of Melbourne, in 2013, he focused on developing improved systems of care for heart failure patients, whilst continuing to research in hospitals, mentor physicians in training and supervise PhD students.

His passion, however, has always been for his patients and when he saw their health impacted and their rights infringed, he stood against what he saw as unethical and unjustifiable mandates, resulting in his termination in October 2021. He was a co-founder of AMPS in 2021 and continues as the current President

SENATOR GERARD RENNICK

Senator for Queensland

QLD Senator Gerard Rennick was first elected to parliament in 2019 and has been working hard for Australia and Queensland. He’s someone who tells it like it is and is not afraid to stand up for what he believes is true. 

Senator Rennick believes strongly that the heart and soul of Australia starts with our families. How we treat each other, how we grow and foster self-reliance and reward those who work hard. Senator Rennick is also highly qualified in finance and accounting, and there are very few who can go toe to toe in parliament with him when it comes to the economy.

Over the last two years, Senator Rennick has also been a rare voice asking questions about our response to COVID-19, and has been willing to listen to and speak for those who have suffered vaccine injury when hardly anyone else would listen

He has been willing to stand up and speak out, no matter the personal cost and put the wellbeing of Australians first.

A/Prof Peter Parry 

MBBS, PHD, FRANZCP, CERT CHILD ADOLES PSYCHIATRY CHILD PSYCHIATRIST

Associate Professor Peter Parry is a child & adolescent psychiatrist whose career encompasses that of a medical officer in the Royal Australian Navy; GP and palliative care, prior to training in psychiatry from 1990.

He was until recently a senior psychiatrist with Children’s Health Queensland, position terminated for not being able to conscientiously consent to a gene-based vaccine based on the information he was aware of (principle of informed consent) and currently works as a locum psychiatrist with interstate health services that recognise the protein-based vaccine Spikogen he received in a clinical trial.

He has research and teaching interests in Developmental Psychology, lifestyle factors in mental health, the history and politics of Psychiatric Nosology, and Conflict of Interest issues between Psychiatry/Medicine and the Pharmaceutical Industry. His PhD thesis combined these topics and included research into thousands of pages of internal pharmaceutical industry documents, of which his most cited article was: From Evidence-Based Medicine to Marketing-Based Medicine: Evidence from Internal Industry Documents.

He led a group of psychiatrists who successfully advocated for the RANZCP to sign the www.alltrials.net campaign in 2015. Unfortunately, the All Trials campaign goals have not been met and in Prof. Parry’s view, ‘Marketing-Based Medicine’ rather than ‘Evidence-Based Medicine’ has increasingly dominated in recent years.

 

KARA POTTER

MEd. Inclusive Education (Autism), LLB, BA, Dip. PM, CertIV T&A

Kara Potter is one of the many thousands of Australians who had a significant and severe adverse reaction to the covid vaccination.

Prior to her injury, Kara worked as a community builder, consultant, and advocate in the disability community. She has a passion for creating environments of inclusion where all people have the freedom to be themselves and where individual strengths and abilities are valued and utilised. In recent years Kara’s work was particularly focused on developing innovative employment pathways for people with disability. When she was injured, Kara was in the process of setting up a new business which was to provide mentoring and management support to neurodiverse social entrepreneurs.

In addition to her work with the disability community, for the past 20 years, Kara worked as business manager in the plumbing business that she and her husband, Ben, own.

Most importantly, Kara is a mum of 3 wonderful children aged 23, 20 and 17. Kara’s two adult children have disability and until Kara was injured, she was the primary carer for her children.

In January this year Kara wrote to Russell Broadbent MP after reading that he was wanting to hear from vaccine injured Australians. Through the incredible support of Russell and his office, Kara has since written to her local member, the health minister Mark Butler and now all MPs and Senators, sharing her story, dismantling the government lies about the safety and efficacy of the covid vaccines, and demanding an end to vaccinations and proper compensation for all vaccine injured Australians. Kara has also started volunteering with CoVerse, the peak body representing covid vaccine injured Australians.

Kara intends to continue her fight for justice for all vaccine injured Australians and is grateful for the support given by AMPS in their continued advocacy on our behalf.

 

 

DR RADO FALETIČ

Rado Faletič is Director and founder of CoVerse and consultant in the area of international science. He earned a Bachelor of Science with Honours in mathematics and a PhD for his research into the 3D visualisation of hypersonic air flows, both from The Australian National University.

Rado has spent his career working to support Australian scientists’ international projects in areas such as computing, climate change, natural resources, infectious diseases, science policy, and more.

In October 2021 Rado had his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and experienced some mild but concerning side-effects that lasted several weeks. He was assured by his doctors that it was safe for him to have the second dose.

He had his second dose three weeks later, and within hours his symptoms rapidly escalated to include sharp chest pains, brain fog, heart palpitations, and tachycardia. Over the following months, he had several trips to the hospital emergency centre, but their testing and scans did not result in any diagnosis. He subsequently consulted a number of medical specialists, none of whom had clear answers for him.

At approximately 5 months his condition worsened with the onset of mast cell dysfunction, requiring drastic lifestyle changes.

Through his own determined research and the support of many other vaccine-injured individuals he has tried a number of different therapies and found some solutions that have enabled him to reduce his symptoms and start to rebuild his health.

In June 2022 he was interviewed for an article in news.com.au, where he called out Australia’s pharmacovigilance agency for its lacklustre response to reports of serious adverse events.

As a result of this article, he was contacted by countless people also suffering from serious vaccine side-effects.

He remains passionately committed to speaking out for these Australians and drawing attention to the scientific and regulatory failures and medico-legal impasses that have let down those Australians who continue to suffer serious negative health consequences as a direct result of their COVID-19 vaccinations.
