Medicolegal experts have dismissed as illogical anti-vaxxer claims that doctors can face legal action if they are unable to prove a COVID-19 vaccine did not cause an adverse reaction.

In videos posted to an Australian anti-vax group’s Facebook page in late June, a woman — who says she is a former registered nurse and worked for pharmaceutical companies — makes several claims about medical liability and COVID-19 vaccines.

The woman says during her time in pharma she learned that doctors could face legal action if they were unable to prove that a side effect following a COVID-19 vaccine has not been caused by the vaccine.

In one video she says: “I … learned that a doctor is not insured if they can’t prove to you that the vaccine injury you’ve got was not caused by the vaccine or for any medication.
