What does the Catholic Church say about aborted foetuses in vaccines?

Very little, of course, because there are no aborted foetuses in vaccines. Here’s Meryl Dorey, of the Australian Vaccination Network confirming this fact in her usual way. That is, by asserting the exact opposite: Vaccines may sometimes contain aborted human foetal tissue – a fact which some people may consider a cause for concern And [...]

#StopAVN sends Meryl Dorey a message at Woodford: Vaccination Saves Lives

Despite our campaigning, the spineless dolts at the Woodford Folk Festival are this afternoon hosting Meryl Dorey of the Australian Vaccination Network. Were it not for the success of Stop The AVN, our Facebook collective of citizens, skeptics, scientists and medics, Meryl would now be giving a talk entitled ‘Autism Emergency, 1 child in 38′, [...]

Jack of Kent’s Law: The Australian Vaccination Network witch-hunt

The marvellous skepti-legal blogger David Allen Green, writing at Jack of Kent, has coined a new adage in the vein of Godwin’s Law, Poe’s Law and Skopie’s Law.

If we pretend that I don’t care whether non-vaccinators or their children get ill, then at least I’m ok, because [...]

“That makes sense, Alf”: Meryl Dorey launches a new #StopAVN catchphrase

Alf Awka: I see plenty of problems with Human Gene patenting. Here is a scenario that I have been recently pondering on….say for example a vaccine is injected into a child and its hidden agenda is to change the genetic code of that child in a specific way? and this specific Gene change is patented [...]

#StopAVN: The Doreyan Fallacy

This is how I imagine Meryl Dorey might respond to the recently published study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Surprise surprise, the only difference was in the vastly differing rates of vaccine-preventable diseases in the two groups. And yet I have lost count of the number of times Meryl Dorey has leapt on individual instances [...]
