Craig Kelly is a steaming pile of offal.<\/p>\n

Craig Kelly is referring to a Quadrant<\/a> article by Prof Robert Clancy. Note that Clancy’s Quadrant article is not science, and only makes allusions to references that are not cited. Quadrant is often referred to as having a right-wing political bias.<\/p>\n

Please search Google Scholar with terms: hydroxychloroquine covid meta analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clancy’s conclusions emphasise uncertainties, issues on safety, calls for reassessment, questions efficacy, — despite evidence. Supports hydroxycholoroquine and ivermectin despite evidence against it. But finally ends with “vaccine for all”. It is a slimey article that desperately tries to reprieve itself with the last sentence.<\/p>\n

He is backing down now but Kelly is on record as saying approval from Australia\u2019s Therapeutic Goods Administration will not be sufficient to convince him to get vaccinated, or to vaccinate his family, because he would want to hear from \u201cexperts on all sides\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kelly has previously championed the use of hydroxycholoroquine to treat coronavirus despite the most reputable global studies finding it was ineffective as a treatment and could have severe and even deadly side effects.<\/p>\n

Kelly has advocated the use of ivermectin and antiseptic Betadine.<\/p>\n

Kelly posted on his Facebook page that the results of a published study into mask-wearing by children during the pandemic showed the impacts were as bad as child abuse. \u201cWhat other conclusion can be drawn from this first ever published study, other than that forcing children to wear masks is causing massive physical & psychological harm \u2013 that can only be defined as child abuse,\u201d Kelly wrote. This opinion was echoed by fellow MP George Christensen.<\/p>\n

The Australian Medical Association vice president, Dr Chris Moy, called on McCormack and Scott Morrison to counter misinformation from politicians, celebrities and others who were \u201ctorching the foundation of community health and science\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
