a documentary film about vaccines in America

Government Censorship – Another Step Towards Tyranny

December 3, 2013,

Governments around the world are spying on us, telling us what foods we can and should eat, approving and pushing medications that are not safe and now, censoring us. It would seem the slide into tyranny has begun.

In the latest step down the slippery slope, the Australian government has decided to force the Australian Vaccination Network (AVN) – a vaccine awareness group – to change their name because some prominent doctors, politicians and health officials think it is misleading.

How very 1984!

Is the government also going to force all the lobbying groups and corporate trade groups to change their misleading names – you know, the coal and oil industry groups that have names that sound like they protect the environment and stuff like that when they just promote coal and oil interests?

Or the allegedly parent-run pro-vaccine groups that are funded by the vaccine makers and on whose boards vaccine makers sit? Organizations like the US groups Every Child By Two and PKids? Just look at these groups funding and their boards and you will see just how parent-lead they are!

Is the Australian government going to review and vet the name of every business, nonprofit, and lobbying group in the country or just those that challenge the views and dictates of government policy?

The clear truth is that droves of parents in Australia and countries all over the world are shunning vaccines in ever growing numbers and they are doing so because they know first hand of the potential damage vaccines may cause – they know there is more to the story than their governments and the medical industry are telling.

The biggest burr under the saddle of vaccine authorities? Those parents doing the shunning are typically well educated, affluent women – those capable of reading the research for themselves, making an informed decision about what is best for their family, and then charting their own course.

Who knew educated, successful women could be so terrifying? But make not mistake, the fight is on and governments around the world are beginning to act like caged animals so keep spreading the word and informing your families an friends that they stand up for their rights and freedoms or risk losing them.

And just to be clear, the AVN has never hidden their goals, they state them in the first line of the “About the AVN” tab on their website:

“The AVN was started in 1994 by a group of parents and health professionals who were concerned about the lack of scientifically-based information on the ‘other side’ of the vaccination issue.

We felt that the government and the medical community, in general, tended to exaggerate the safety and benefit profiles of vaccinations whilst downplaying their risks and true effectiveness.” AVN website

Not so misleading, is it?

    The AVN is deceptive and misleading. They moan about being silenced, yet anyone that challenges their position gets their comments deleted immediately.
    If they are such an informative group, then why dont they stand behind their anti vaccination stance instead of claiming to the Government that they are not anti vaccination. They got exactly what they deserved.

    If you willfully and deliberately choose to NOT vaccinate your: children, self, family – You are running the risk of INFECTING others with numerous diseases that have not been an issue for DECADES!

    Should you, or your non-vaccinated child, infect another person (especially a baby, or senior citizen) you should be CHARGED with CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE!!

    Measels and Whooping-Cough are 2 such POTENTIALLY FATAL diseases that have returned – and the return of these diseases ARE ENTIRELY THE FAULT OF ANTI-VAXXERS!!!!!!!!!!

    Vaccination should be MANDATORY – no vax = no education, no job, no social security/welfare IMHO.

    If you choose not to vax then GTFO out of my country and stop putting my loved ones at risk!

      It is so sad to read a comment such as this as it is so ill-informed and filled with hate. Science shows that those vaccinated with live virus vaccines transmit disease to others and that those vaccinated with the pertussis vaccine harbor the bacterium in their lungs without symptoms and transmit it to others. Indeed, in recent outbreaks of whooping cough (pertussis) across the nation 70-90% of those diagnosed with pertussis were in fact fully vaccinated. In China, where the measles vaccination rate is between 99% and 100%, there were 50,000 cases of measles last year. Let me be very clear: VACCINE INDUCED IMMUNITY IS NOT PERMANENT. It wears off if it ever existed in the first place. Vaccines damage the immune system rendering the recipient more vulnerable to future infections. If you choose to be so outspoken, you should get your facts straight.
