The Western Australian (WA) Chief Health Officer signed an “Instrument of Authorisation to Supply or Administer a Poison [SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) Vaccine]” on 18 February 2021.
Yes, I thought it’s a joke too. The document can be found on the government website: www.wa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/210218-2853a-Authorisation-to-Supply-or-Administer-Vaccine-CHO-IoA-signed-A-Robertson-18022021-%28WITH-ANNEXURES%29.pdf.
1. I, Dr Andrew Robertson, Chief Health Officer (WA), acting pursuant to sections 197 and 198 of the Public Health Act 2016 (WA) [the Act] that gives power, for the purposes of emergency management during a public health state of emergency, to authorise a person to supply or administer a poison, hereby authorise the person(s) occupying the class of position in Column 1 of the attached Schedule to perform the statutory functions in Column 2 of the attached Schedule, subject to the conditions, limitations or restrictions (if any) set out in Column 3 of the attached Schedule.
Something similar can be found corresponding to the states of New South Wales (dated 19 February 2021) and Victoria (dated 23 March 2021).
Granted, the word “poison” can be applied to many things in the medical and (industrial) chemical circles but still, we can’t say we haven’t been told.
