Pfizer judge
In 2024, Julian Fidge, a General Practitioner and pharmacist alleged the mRNA covid vaccines contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and that Pfizer and Moderna failed to obtain the necessary licenses to distribute the vaccines in Australia - a criminal offence under the Gene Technology Act 2000.[1]
But before any evidence could be heard, the presiding judge, Helen Rofe, dismissed the case in March 2024 on the basis that Fidge lacked standing, i.e. he was not an "aggrieved person" for the purposes of trial and therefore had "no reasonable prospect" of success.[2] After the decision was handed down, it was revealed that Judge Rofe had undisclosed ties to Pfizer.[3] When at the Bar, she had represented Pfizer on at least five occasions between 2003-2006. Judge Rofe also had family ties with the Grimwade pharmaceutical fortune, which later ran the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, a biomedical research organisation that joined forces with Mermaid Bio in 2022, to develop mRNA vaccines.[4]
