A week ago, I came back from a 9-city seminar tour of country NSW. I was very lucky to have had Greg Beattie, author of Fooling Ourselves on the Fundamental Value of Vaccines (this book is available in both hard copy and electronic versions) and Vaccination: A Parent’s Dilemma, join me for 7 of those 9 … Continue reading »

Bullies only win when we let them…
We teach our children when they are very young to stand up to bullies; that if they stand up to them, most bullies will back down because they are cowards and prefer easy targets. We also teach our children that we must always help someone that is being bullied and not just turn the other … Continue reading »
‘Anti Vaxxer’ the new dirty word?
The author of this guest-blog has asked to remain anonymous due to her fear of being targeted by the Australian Skeptics and Stop the AVN. She is the parent of vaccine-damaged children – some of whom are on the autistic spectrum. She found Peter Bowditch’s assaults against families of vaccine-injured children to be incredibly … Continue reading »
Pseudo-Skeptics Behaving Badly
You already know my opinion about the group that calls itself the Australian Skeptics. It is a misnomer for people who belong to the Australian Skeptics and their splinter group, Stop the AVN to call themselves sceptical. They are the least sceptical people on the planet since they only question anything that isn’t mainstream (they … Continue reading »

I am an inherently positive person and I don’t like to dwell on negativity or anger and Stop … Continue reading »

Hypocrisy – thy name is ‘SAVN’
It’s been a busy time here at the AVN so I haven’t been able to keep this blog as up-to-date as I would like, but the events of the last few days have been so ‘interesting’, I felt it would be a good time to share with you what has been going on. As most … Continue reading »
What you say defines who you are
It’s said that you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. Well, I think the same can be said about an organisation. Stop the AVN, the group that was established to force the shut-down the Australian Vaccination Network, a legally-operating, volunteer-run health and vaccine safety watchdog, proves this point perfectly. … Continue reading »
Medical Bastardry
I just received a call from the mother of a 2 year old boy. This woman has been a member of the AVN for a couple of years and is very well informed about both vaccination and health – as are most of our members. Her son was recently hospitalised with what turned out to … Continue reading »
