There is no challenge to the fact the Minister is fine after taking lariam or that we need to protect ourselves from the threat of malaria.
My point is that a number of former members of the Defence Forces believe their mental health problems are connected to side effects from taking lariam. The United States forces have stopped using lariam. Have our relevant authorities ever engaged with the relevant authorities in the United States to ask why they removed lariam and if there are grounds for us to do the same?
