“I am anti-vaccine, but, the AVN is not”, says the AVN

Before Stop the Australian Vaccination Network got rolling, the anti-vaccination pressure group, the Australian Vaccination Network, had a motto:

Oh boy, they dropped this like warm excreta

But, have no fear. You can still buy the t-shirt:

Hey, a girl’s gotta make a buck, right?

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:

“Hard to explain”, says Dorey. You think?

Here is courageous anonymous admin B52, on June 30 2012:

Is that a disclaimer in parentheses?

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):

I mean, really.

Just who at the AVN is not anti-vaccine?

Just change your damn name and grow up. Be honest with the community.
