Kerryn Phelps has been suffering from a Vaccine injury.
Kerryn Phelps, a prominent Australian doctor, has appeared before the Government inquiry into long Covid, and told the parliamentary inquiry that her and her partner have been suffering from Vaccine injuries since early in the vaccine rollout in April 2021.
These injuries were presumably why she withdrew from the mayoral race in May 2021.
She commented at the time, “I need to be present over the coming months to help manage a health issue for a close family member.
“I am devastated at the timing as I have been working towards this election for the past five years, but my priority must be my family.”
One wonders why she didn’t say something about the fact that it was a vaccine injury then.
Who is Kerryn Phelps?
Kerryn Phelps is a high profile Australian politician and doctor. In 2001 she became the first woman to be elected president of the AMA, and after serving on the City of Sydney town council from 2016, she ran as an independent candidate in Wentworth after the resignation of Malcolm Turnbull and was elected, however in the 2019 federal election she was displaced by the liberal candidate Dave Sharma.
A history of supporting the Covid gene therapy injections, even after the injury.
In January of 2022, despite have dealt with her and her partner’s vaccine injuries, for more than six months, Phelps was still supportive of vaccination.
While vaccines were, and remain, an important part of the response, we were warned not to rely on vaccines alone. As time went by, our warnings were proven correct as the Omicron variant emerged and the virus infected the vaccinated and unvaccinated, picking off the medically vulnerable, immunocompromised people and children…. We learned that two-dose vaccine immunity was only temporary and that a third dose or a “booster” would be needed. Even that is likely to wane within months.

In August of 2021 she tweeted in support of the vaccination of children.
Submission to Parliamentar’s Long Covid Inquiry.
In a submission to the Parliamentary inquiry into Long Covid, Kerryn Phelps said, “This is an issue that I have witnessed first-hand with my wife who suffered a severe neurological reaction to her first Pfizer vaccine within minutes, including burning face and gums, paraesethesiae, and numb hands and feet, while under observation by myself, another doctor and a registered nurse at the time of immunisation. I continue to observe the devastating effects a year-and-a-half later with the addition of fatigue and additional neurological symptoms including nerve pains, altered sense of smell, visual disturbance and musculoskeletal inflammation. The diagnosis and causation has been confirmed by several specialists who have told me that they have seen ‘a lot’ of patients in a similar situation.”
“Jackie asked me to include her story to raise awareness for others,” she said.
“We did a lot of homework before having the vaccine, particularly about choice of vaccine at the time. In asking about adverse side effects, we were told that ‘the worst thing that could happen would be anaphylaxis’ and that severe reactions such as myocarditis and pericarditis were ‘rare’.”
Dr Phelps suffered a vaccine injury from her second dose of the Pfizer vaccine in July 2021. Her diagnoses were confirmed by colleagues; she had a CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, blood tests, cardiac echogram, transthoracic cardiac stress echo, Holter monitor, blood pressure monitoring and autonomic testing.
Her symptoms were dysautonomia with intermittent fevers, breathlessness, inappropriate sinus tachycardia and blood pressure fluctuations.
She reported her injury to the TGA but they never followed up on her case.
She said other doctors that she knew suffered vaccine injuries, but did not want to talk about it publicly because of AHPRA’s threats of deregistration.

In the AHPRA Statement they threatened practitioners against any anti-vaccination sentiment:
Any promotion of anti-vaccination statements or health advice which contradicts the best available scientific evidence or seeks to actively undermine the national immunisation campaign (including via social media) is not supported by National Boards and may be in breach of the codes of conduct and subject to investigation and possible regulatory action.
National Boards have developed social media guidance to help registered health practitioners understand and meet their obligations when using social media. The guidance explains that registered health practitioners must make sure that their social media activity is consistent with the regulatory framework for their profession and does not contradict or counter public health campaigns or messaging, such as the Australian COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.
Health practitioners are reminded that it is an offence under the National Law to advertise a regulated health service4 (including via social media) in a way that is false, misleading or deceptive. Advertising that includes false, misleading or deceptive claims about COVID-19, including anti-vaccination material, may result in prosecution by Ahpra.
Phelps continued, “Regulators of the medical profession have censored public discussion about adverse events following immunisation, with threats to doctors not to make any public statements about anything that ‘might undermine the government’s vaccine rollout’ or risk suspension or loss of their registration.”
She recounted the difficulties vaccine injured people have getting treatment. “They have had to search for answers, find GPs and specialists who are interested and able to help them, spend large amounts of money on medical investigations, isolate from friends and family, reduce work hours, lose work if they are required to attend in person and avoid social and cultural events.”
“There has been a delay in recognition of vaccine injury, partly because of under-reporting, concerns about vaccine hesitancy in the context of managing a global pandemic, and needing to find the balance between risks and benefits on a population level,” she said. “Reactions were said to be rare without data to confirm how common or otherwise these reactions were. In general practice I was seeing cases, which meant other GPs and specialists were seeing cases too. Without diagnostic tests, we have to rely largely on clinical history.”
On the Today show, she also recounted a list of the types of events.
“And they’re experiencing a whole range of different types of vaccine events. They’re experiencing things like cardiovascular events, with myocarditis and pericarditis. That’s not just confined to young males — I’ve spoken to middle-aged female doctors who have had this effect. People who have neurological side effects, have musculoskeletal and joint pain. We’re looking at immune system problems with reactivation of auto-immune disease.”
What does this mean?
Kerryn Phelps is a high profile Australian health professional. It means the tide is beginning to turn. This is becoming a political issue now: it is not possible to sweep vaccine injuries under the carpet any longer.
