Vaccine watchdog group accused of “crimes against humanity”
Posted: July 15th, 2010
Our lead story tonight is the controversy over the Australian Vaccination Network, with its founder Meryl Dorey accused of “providing inaccurate and misleading information and selectively quoting research out of context to argue against vaccination”.
The controversy erupted into the public eye after an ABC Lateline report earlier this week in which Nobel prize winning immunologist Professor Peter Doherty says that “denying children vaccines is a crime against humanity”.
The accusations come from a report by The New South Wales Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC), which also found that the AVN harassed the parents of a child who died of whooping cough last year.
In the second half I am joined by Bronwyn Hancock of the Vaccination Information Service to analyze these developments.
During the show we also bring you a variety of news stories from Australia and around the world.
