Chanel 7 , and Michael Usher in particular, you are a poor excuse for journalism. Not only did you chose guests who are on pfizer's payrole ( except Prof Gigi Foster) you also edited out lots of what was being said and the comments by the audience. Michael Usher you have no integrity. The actual audio of the program is available and was heard by hundreds of thousands of Australians..not the version you put out. Shame on you Michael, shame on you Chanel 7. Gigi was the only objective and intelligent guest, she was the only person there who didn't get her pockets lined by big pharma money. Read NZ Daily Mail latest edition, they have done much better job at sussing out your guests than you did...

The criteria for financial support during COVID for those who lost their jobs was so strict many people weren’t eligible. Palaszczuk was lying about this. Mandates for medical staff is still in place. WHY??? Can she answer that question honestly? I doubt it.

Look up interviews with Dr Keryn Phelps about 1 year ago. She talks about APRHA suppressing doctors to admit vaccine injury in patients. Also that it was a new type of technology vaccine. That should have been discussed on the show

Kerryn Phelps is an absolute hypocrite to the highest degree. Back in 2020-2021 she was a vocal champion for getting the vaccine but yet when she finally got it she cries foul because she and her wife received an injury from it. I do not trust a single word that comes out of her mouth or what she writes in various blogs and neither should anybody else.
Heavily censored and biased
That was really great of you to have a live audience... shame you felt the need to then censor them. Sounds very much like 7 is keeping up the MSM narrative.

Typical media strikes again. Edit out what you don’t want seen or heard…fill the panel with biased views (except for Gigi Forster) so you can manipulate those at home. The whole response of the audience should have been shown for an accurate understanding what really happened in this segment. People are angry because they’ve been lied to and you’re still lying! Disgusting!
Please put up the full program , not the edited version.
Why did I think that this would be a fair and unbiased report? Ridiculous, one sided reporting
What a one sided load of rubbish. Scientists with a huge conflict of interest should tell you everything. Was hoping for truth, expecting lies and wasn’t disappointed! So disappointing but what else can we expect any more from mainstream media! Just a mouthpiece for whoever’s paying

1. Not one medical expert panelist who was against the jab. 2. Booy has a financial interest vested in big pharma - this wasn’t disclosed nor was he pulled up on it. 3. Booy lied - Ch7 did nothing to challenge his lies. 4. No challenge to the one who said “don’t worry about what we do next time around, worry about what we do afterwards” 😳 - unchallenged. 5. Edited and censored the audience. 😠 It’s not like they haven’t learned up on the topic. 6. Gigi Foster wasn’t allowed enough air time and was disrespected by Booy, who called anything he didn’t agree with “disinformation” …. again, unchallenged. Gigi was the most level headed and sensible panelist. 7. The editing, censorship by Ch7 made this piece mostly a hit piece against anyone dissenting. Not only is this wrong and shows govt leaning preferred narrative bias but did not reflect Ch7’s shorts used to advertise the episode. 8. Good on Kerryn Phelps’ wife for speaking out and strongly, though very quickly dismissed and not talked about sufficiently. 9. No talk about absence of consent, the Pfizer docs which reveal adverse events were known before jab rollout and mandates. 10. No talk of the TGA withholding jab deaths (including children) because they “didn’t want to undermine public confidence in the jab program”. 11. Why did Kerryn Phelps continue to push the jab on the public even after she was injured? 👆👆👆 …. That’s all off the top of my head. I know there’s more.
