The GP vs Clive Palmer: The information war on COVID-19 vaccines
Dr Thomas Walsh says his patients have been unduly influenced by the billionaire's propaganda machine
When Dr Thomas Walsh first saw the flyer from Clive Palmer about COVID-19 vaccines, he had a sinking feeling.
His practice manager at Clocktower Medical Centre in Sale, Victoria, had showed him a picture on her phone; apparently, the flyers had been dropped in letterboxes across town.
“I honestly didn’t think patients would believe it,” the GP says. “It was rubbish.”
“But I guess, because Clive Palmer is something of a household name, people mistakenly lend authority to what he says.”
