Before Stop the Australian Vaccination Network got rolling, the anti-vaccination pressure group, the Australian Vaccination Network, had a motto:
But, have no fear. You can still buy the t-shirt:
So, it is always intriguing when senior members of the anti-vaccination group declare that the AVN is not anti-vaccine. And, by “intriguing”, I mean deceitfully hilarious to the point of emesis.
On Thursday February 28 2013, courageous anonymous AVN Facebook page admin, B9, posted this admission:

“I’m not sure that only providing information which is against vaccination can count as anti-vaccine”, said no one ever
Further down in the same thread, the equally emotionally stunted courageous anonymous admin, B52, told onlookers how the meanings of individual words cannot possibly belie their true intent when grouped together. It’s quite a gotcha. I think I’ll pack my things. We’re done here:

I mean, how can the words “institute”, “cetacean”, and “research” possibly mean anti-live whale? It makes no sense.
I’m not going to get into the evidence – provided every time the AVN says words and things which resemble words – that the AVN push an anti-vaccine agenda. We know about it. It’s why we’re here, after all.
I just want to show the individual beliefs of the AVN’s leaders. After all, they have no say as to how the organisation is run, or the information the AVN provides. This is how organisations run, isn’t it?
Here is ex-President and still Public Officer of the AVN; the AVN’s landlord, Meryl Dorey, on February 2 2010:
Here is courageous anonymous admin B52, on June 30 2012:
And we all know about the new President, Greg Beattie. The Human Rights Commission found to his satisfaction that he is an extremist (he must be satisfied with the findings given he likes to boast of them):
Just who at the AVN is not anti-vaccine?
Just change your damn name and grow up. Be honest with the community.
Yes.
For the icing on the cake, for the all the evidence you need to show that the then President and Public Officer and Treasurer and spokesperson of the AVN, and therefore the AVN, is anti-vaccine, go to Ms Dorey’s foam-flecked rant in her AVN Yahoo! group message #36449 dated 17 Dec 2008, in which she said:
“There will come a time – I pray to God that it will happen in my lifetime – when those who have pushed vaccines upon innocent, helpless babies – doctors, pharmaceutical companies, government officials – will be proven to have lied and cheated these instruments of death into our children’s bloodstream. When that occurs, the outcry will be heard around the world and there will not be enough hiding places on the globe for these murderers to hide or enough money to pay for compensation. Of course, it will be too late for the babies, like this poor child, to be saved. But we will be able to take satisfaction from the fact that never again will anyone have to be pushed to poison their child because for once and for all, it will be known as poison and we will all wonder how it was we fell for the vaccine lie for as long as we did.”
Wow! “pushed vaccines”, “instruments of death” “murderers” “poison” “vaccine lie.” If that’s not anti-vaccine, what is?

But, But, “I’m only anti-vaccine for MYSELF – not for anyone else”. (Deep down, they know they work).
