A tragic death leads to calls for compulsory vaccination
Channel 7 - Sunday Night Program

Tonight, Channel 7's Sunday Night program, a 60-minutes wanna-be complete with Mike Carlson at the helm, presented the most one-sided, offensive show on the subject of vaccination that I have ever seen - and trust me - I've seen heaps of them.

Using the tragic death of little Dana McCaffery (see the previous AVN E-Newsletter), this program has basically said that parents who don't vaccinate are just short of being murderers. We are going to cause polio to come back, we are responsible for the deaths of infants and we are really, really stupid.

While I have great sympathy for Dana's parents, the reporting was incredibly biased - even to the point of saying that Jackson Butler, who bravely agreed to appear on this program with his mother, Belinda, had a vaccine reaction that was nothing more than a rash. He is still being treated today, at 13 years of age, for the effects of the vaccines he received as a child. The way in which his situation was minimised was nothing short of shocking!

And then, there was the doctor who treated Dana, Chris Ingall. He is a North Coast Paediatrician whose views on vaccination are very well known in this area. He was also my son, Matthew's paediatrician. Matthew was vaccine injured as a child - first at 2 months of age (our GP told us that he would leave the whooping cough portion of the vaccine out after he had 5-6 hours of high pitched screaming, ran a very high fever and stopped breathing in his sleep) and then, at 18 months after his MMR. Matthew developed severe breathing problems from that first shot. He had obstructive sleep apnoea (still does at over 20 years of age) and we were referred to Chris Ingall to try and treat it.

When Chris found out that Matthew had only had one whooping cough
vaccine, he decided that he didn't have apnoea at all. No - he had whooping cough. He then proceeded to tell my husband Ken and I that we should get Matthew the other two shots!

Now, this was at the beginning of our search for information - we
hadn't even managed to find much about vaccinations or disease at this
point. Despite that, when he told us that we should vaccinate, the
first thing we said was - but he has had bad reactions to that shot.
He then proceeded to tell us that Matthew needed the vaccine because he had whooping cough. But, we asked, if he has whooping cough, what good is giving him the vaccine going to do? I can't remember what his answer was, but even then, we thought- what crap! And we refused.

This is the sort of nonsense these 'medical experts' are spreading -
the sort of dangerous, illogical treatments they are pushing. And
their word is law - and our side gets no credibility despite having
the information and research on our side.

Please write to the program using the contact form at the top of this page - http://au.tv.yahoo.com/sunday-night/ - we need an avalanche of support for this one - I despair about the cover up, the children who will be injured by these shots and the way in which our organisation and the families who have been hurt by vaccines have been portrayed.

In addition, please vote in the poll on the same page above. They are asking whether or not vaccination should be compulsory. Please give a strong and resounding NO!

Excerpt from latest Whooping Cough article
Fighting fear with information

Several days ago, I completed an in-depth article for the next edition of Living Wisdom magazine, due out in approximately 3 weeks. (Click here to subscribe if you are not already a subscriber or member of the AVN) Entitled, Pertussis: The Fear Factor, it tries to deal with all of the misinformation, finger pointing and accusations by showing that our vaccination rates are at all-time highs and so is our rate of pertussis (whooping cough). Please see the following tables - all sourced from the Australian Government.

The first table shows that in 1991, there were only 318 cases of pertussis in all of Australia. In 2008, there were over 14,000 cases. The vaccination rate for pertussis in 1991 was 71% (see next 2 tables). Today, it is over 95%.

We are seeing a resurgence of this disease DESPITE record high levels of vaccination. Not because of low rates.

Meryl Dorey - Vaccinations - do they promote healthy children?
Since 1994, Meryl Dorey has run the Australian Vaccination Network (AVN), a national health lobby group that supports everyone's rights to make free and informed health choices when it comes to the issues of vaccination and health. The AVN, via its nationwide support service and its magazine, Living Wisdom, has promoted the idea that good health comes from a loving environment, proper nutrition and healthcare from dedicated natural therapists working in conjunction with medical doctors.

Though Australia currently has the highest vaccination rate on record, it also has the highest ever reported incidence of some diseases such as whooping cough and a larger number of chronically ill children then we have ever seen before. What role does vaccination have to play in society today? Is it responsible - at least in part - for the increase in formerly rare chronic conditions such as diabetes, Autism, ADD, ADHD, asthma, eczema and cancer and how can we as parents ensure that we make the best possible informed choices to keep our children healthy?

Help Wanted...
If you live on the Far North Coast of NSW or at the Gold Coast and have a few hours a fortnight to volunteer, the AVN could really use your help. We are in the process of trying to get all of the thousands of medical journal articles and the historical vaccination data which is currently stored as hard copy scanned so they can be accessed digitally.

This will take a long time but we really need some people who are willing to set aside just a few hours to come to our office and help with this scanning.

You don't need to be experienced with this sort of thing - we will show you how it works and your assistance will be very much appreciated.

If you would like more information or would like to volunteer, please contact Janiece on 02 6687 1699 or by email at janiece@avn.org.au.

Fear of the InvisibleFear-of-the-Invisible
by Janine Roberts
Second Edition 2009
Pages: 299
157mm W x 235mm H x 20mm T 
 
How scared should we be of Viruses and Vaccines, HIV and AIDS?
An investigative journey into a reckless and contaminated medical industry. We have all been taught to fear viruses and yet scientists are now discovering that they are a fundamental part of life and are made by the millions in all healthy cells. It seems that we may have misjudged the virus and most of them maybe simple inert messages carried from cell to cell. This is a very interesting and controversal book on diseases, vaccines and what Janine calls "vaccine plagues", the emerging plagues caused by medical intervention into previously healthy bodies. Janine exposes the impurity of vaccines and the fraudulent science which is behind may accepted medical treatments. This book is highly recommended reading.
