Our interest is money. I am only applying common sense. I see the potential for liability. Mr. Breen says it is timelines only and that it is not medical. Our own medical physician says there was a 13-fold increase in cases. Mr. Breen went to a conference and he reckons he got good enough angles to mount a defence to state there is no proven link and, therefore, the agency is not obliged to pay anything. The reality on the ground, however, is that people are sick. I do not need to wrap up Mr. Breen in too much science in respect of a 13-fold increase in terms of vaccinated versus unvaccinated. I just apply basic common sense-----
