The Chiropractic Board of Australia has had enough:
The Chiropractic Board of Australia cracks down to protect the public.
The Chiropractic Board of Australia is cracking down on chiropractors who step outside their primary role as healthcare practitioners and provide treatment that puts the public at risk.
To protect public safety, the Board has:
– ordered practitioners to remove all anti-vaccination material from their websites and clinics
– removed several courses from the list of approved CPD programs, and
– introduced random audits of practitioner compliance with the Board’s registration standards. [Media Release August 8 2013]
Rosemarie Jabbour runs an inner Sydney manipulation business called New World Chiropractic. Jabbour is/was a member of the rabid, callous anti-vaccination pressure group, the Australian Vaccination Network. I could not ascertain as to Jabbour’s association memberships; but, for the love of all things Ierano, I demand she join the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia, forthwith.
Not one to sniff at epidemiology, Jabbour shared this anti-vaccine lie:

Your government is bought and paid for by Big Pharma, and it provides you with a flu shot which is dangerous. It’s end times, people:

Does someone want to remind these people that influenza vaccines are not trialed every year, as they have been trialed in previous years?
Wakefield’s “truth…will save lives”. Say that out loud three times and a British pathologist will self-immolate:
Jabbour shares the scary vaccine ingredients anti-vaccine meme on her business’s page:
Naturally, Jabbour branches out into anti-fluoridationism, care of crackpots, Flouride Free WA:
And she likes to share “undisputed facts” about dental amalgams:
I’m thinking this probably counts as a testimonial? Jabbour may as well just write her own, right?

I hope these things actually happened, and that she isn’t creating an unrealistic expectation for her customers, so as to entice more business through the door.
I’m hoping that the CBA will send the crack squad around to her business soon. Otherwise this meme will become reinforced in the community:

I added this because she posted it because she was attempting to convey that chiropractors of her calibre aren’t quacks. And that’s funny.
