Former MP Dr Kerryn Phelps has spoken out about her wife’s “severe” reaction to the COVID jab as she warned about the direction of Australia’s current handling of the pandemic.

Dr Phelps revealed her wife of 24 years, former teacher Jackie Stricker-Phelps, was still suffering the vaccine injury more than a year later, but the TGA had not followed it up, despite their reporting it.

She said it was a subject doctors faced “threats” over and were “censored” from speaking about, but she wanted to raise awareness.

Dr Phelps is a former president of the Australian Medical Association, a health communicator for 37 years, a former member for Wentworth and an ex-Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney.
