If you missed Lateline’s story on the Health Care Complaint Commission (NSW) handing down some adverse findings for the fringe anti-vaccination group the AVN here it is:

The Australian Vaccination Network (AVN) has suffered some solid blows recently and it’s my sincere hope that these blows will spell the end of the AVN as any sort of credible organisation on the subject of health.

Now before some ideologue jumps in and mentions censorship, big pharma conspiracies and unleashes a tirade of ill thought [...] Related posts:

Or as it should be more rightly called: Australian Anti-Vaccination Network discourages people to vaccinate their children with unfounded claims, this presents a danger to public health. Several campaigns have been launched to counter the hazard that the AVN presents to the public, including Stop the Australian Vaccination Network. Recently the NSW HCCC has issued [...]

Meryl Dorey, President of the Australian Vaccination Network, recently published a media release in which she decries the media’s “witchhunt” of the AVN. Recent investigations of the AVN by multiple branches of the New South Wales government, the reports and results of those investigations, various media interviews with Meryl Dorey, quotes from Dorey, and other [...]

Back in December, the anti-vaccination group, the  Australian Vaccination Network (AVN – yes, that’s their actual acronym), and its founder Meryl Dorey ran into a problem. They became subjects of an investigation by the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission: The AVN is accused of ‘engaging in misleading and deceptive conduct with the intent of [...]

The Australian Vaccination Network (AVN) is the group that the Skeptic Zone podcast and the Australian Skeptics report upon on a regular basis. The AVN spreads false claims including that vaccines contain toxic quantities of mercury, aluminium, and formaldehyde; that vaccines cause conditions such as autism. They also provide incorrect information about the risks of [...]

Meryl Dorey of The Australian Vaccination Network says opposition to her operation is an attack on free speech. That claim however, is a simple ruse to divert attention from the reality of dangerous and illegal conduct.

In good news for children everywhere, the New South Wales Minister for Gaming and Racing has today announced that they would, effective Wednesday, October 20th, be revoking the charitable fundraising authority of the Australian Vaccination Network. This means that it will no longer be lawful for the AVN to represent themselves as a charity, or [...]

She’s doing it again. That’s all I could think when I saw the below lie published about noon by Meryl Dorey, on the Australian Vaccination Network‘s Facebook page.

Four days later, an AVN member repeated the very same claim on the [...]

It appears that not only is the Australian Vaccination Network anti-vaccine and anti-medicine in general but possibly also L. Ron Hubbard-worshiping cultists. It’s unclear at this time precisely how large their connection is to $cientology but one thing that is certain is that they’re selling on their website propaganda produced by the Citizens Commission on Human [...]
