“#LetsVaxx” could expose Telstra to liability that BioNtech has been careful to avoid in its SEC disclosures: Telstra joins with politicians making claims for vaccines BioNTech has not made, while concealing risk factors that have been disclosed

 by Ganesh Sahathevan 

Telstra Ltd has decided to join in the Australian vaccination campaign by adding  "the tagline “#LetsVaxx” to its users’ devices". 

In doing so Telstra adds its voice to that of Australian politicians and civil servants who have been shown to have ignored risks that one vaccine manufacturer, BioNTech, has disclosed in its US Security And Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosures (see story below).

It has also joined Australian politicians and civil servants in making claims about the vaccine that BioNTech has not made.

It is unclear why Telstra might want to assume these risks., and the potential liability,that BioNTech itself has been careful to avoid.

BioNTech's SEC disclosed risk factors include " limited regulatory experience with mRNA immunotherapies": Despite the warning, governments worldwide have insisted that they have the skills to evaluate, at record speed, the use of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID vaccine

 by Ganesh Sahathevan 

More from BioNTech's SEC disclosures. Again, from 2020 Annual Report: 

"...mRNA drug development has substantial clinical development and regulatory risks due to limited regulatory experience with mRNA immunotherapies...".

This writer cannot recall any government authority admitting to the risk of limited experience with mRNA immunotherapies.

Instead governments everywhere have approved and begun supplying the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to their people, 

The Australian Government, in typical fashion, via its ABC media service, has even launched a media campaign where it asserts that "no corners have been cut" in manufacturing and approving any of the COVID vaccines.

Pfizer/ BioNTech warned investors that the durability of the immune response of its COVID vaccine had " not yet been demonstrated in clinical trials"-US SEC disclosure by BioNTech calls for investigation into Scott Morrison, Daniel Andrews, and Gladys Berekilian's promotion of Pfizer/ BioNTech

 by Ganesh Sahathevan 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison had his Covid jab in February 2021.

The developer of the Pfizer COVID vaccine, Comirnaty,
BioNTech SE has lodged documents at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), pursuant to US securities disclosure laws.

The documents include BioNTech SE's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2021 It includes this statement which is among a range of cautionary statements that the company is bound by law to alert investors to:

"......the durability of (the) immune response generated by our COVID-19 vaccine....has not yet been demonstrated in clinical trials........."

This is an important issue for investors for a vaccine with limited durability is not going to sell well, if at all.  Taxpayers would not be willing to spend billions on a vaccine that provides protection for only a relatively short  amount of time. 

However, in Australia, we have in fact seen the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison,  and the state leaders in particular  Premier Daniel Andrews of Victoria  and Premier Gladys Berekilian of NSW  promoting  the  Pfizer/ BioNTech COVID vaccine, as if it were guaranteed to provide life long protection. In the process they have expanded billions. Taxpayers are entitled to an explanation.
