ABC chair Ita Buttrose has hit back at Federal Health Secretary Brendan Murphy’s claim that the media are to blame for Australians’ uncertainty about the coronavirus vaccine.

“I have a lot of respect for Brendan Murphy but as we all know, those of us who work in the media, when push comes to shove, we often cop the blame for everything,” she said.

“No I do not think the media is to blame, I think the hesitancy exists because of the uncertainty about the vaccine.”
