Last week we looked at the question of vaccine efficacy and safety. Our discussion today focuses on the question of your rights. Are vaccines compulsory? Can day care centres legally refuse entry to unvaccinated children? Can schools demand vaccination records? Will parents of unvaccinated children receive the government health care rebate?

My guest today in the 2nd hour is Bronwyn Hancock, a passionate advocate of health freedom, who runs the Vaccination Information Service in Sydney, Australia. Bronwyn’s organisation provides assistance to many people engaged in custody battles where one parent insists the child must be vaccinated. Such cases often end up in the family court, and Bronwyn has been helping parents who are against vaccines to present legally sound arguments.

The central question addressed in today’s show is about fundamental freedom and the rights of parents to decide what is best for their children. This transcends the controversy over the science of vaccines, for it is about our most basic beliefs about how society should be structured. Should we entrust the power of life and death over ourselves and our children to governments and mega-corporations? Should we surrender our free will and independence to the “experts”, believing that only they can make the right decisions for us?

Or do we trust our own capacity to think, judge and act in our own best interest?

This vital question, I believe, is at the heart of the crisis in today’s democracies, as we progress towards fascism. In the emerging fascist state, the rights of the individual are subordinated to an almost mystical notion of the greater good, as determined by corporate sponsored scientists, technocrats and self serving politicians – who are all exploiting the general population in some way. We are being lied to, ripped off, lectured to, and injured by those who run the key institutions at the heart of our society.

This situation is clearly intolerable, and there must ultimately be a revolution of sorts to restore basic common law and morality to our body politic. Let’s hope the revolution can be achieved peacefully.

I hope you enjoy the show!

Our guest today for the 2nd hour is Meryl Dorey, who runs the Australian Vaccination Network, a non-profit organisation which sets out to inform people about the hidden facts regarding both the efficacy and safety of vaccines.

As noted in last week’s show, Meryl has been investigated by the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) due to her vocal criticism of mainstream medical science.

In July 2010, the HCCC issued a warning after the AVN failed to comply with its recommendation to disclose on its website that the group’s purpose was to provide anti-vaccination information. The AVN appealed, and in February 2012 the NSW Supreme Court ruled the HCCC should not have issued a public warning at all – and was not within its jurisdiction in doing so.

In addition to the official investigations, Meryl has been the target of an aggressive campaign from a lobby group calling itself “Stop the AVN“, whose goal is to completely silence the AVN, and by implication, anyone one else who might dare to publicly challenge the absolute authority of the of the government/corporate partnerships which control our health care system.

From the AVN website:

By the time an Australian child is 12 months old, they will receive 23 vaccines and by the time they start school, that number will more than double. We owe it to our children to be fully informed about all aspects of vaccine safety and effectiveness. If we don’t investigate this issue fully, we may not be doing the best thing for our children or for ourselves.

The Australian Vaccination Network, Inc. (AVN) has been operating since 1994 with a mandate to provide scientifically-sourced information on this complex and difficult issue. We believe that everyone has the right to access all available data on vaccinations, immunisations, immunizations, inoculations – whatever you choose to call them. The government and the medical community provide you with one side of the story – the AVN gives you the other side. Taken together, this data will allow you to make the best possible decision for the health of your child.

Our discussion today covers a broad range of questions in relation to the safety and efficacy of immunisation. Meryl also documents some of the protracted legal struggle in which she has been engaged, simply for asserting the right to present an alternative opinion to the public on matters of health.
