    Quite interesting what's happening with the AVN the last year or so. Industry instigated SAVN (google it) was set up to destroy the AVN by whatever means necessary, and they're doing a damn fine job.
    It's a pity there's no real investigative journalism anymore and that the public is only presented the superficial "facts".
    And one more thing, a check of our government websites indicates that they are clearly pro vaccination, to the point where adverse reactions, are at best, glossed over (that's the ones we know about as less than 10% are reported). They also ignore the fact the long the health implications of vaccination are, at best, unclear and that their effectiveness is questionable.

    Should they not be made to place a disclaimer on their websites stating that they are pro vaccination?

      As with most conspiracy-theorising twaddle, this comment is deceptive, short on fact, misleading and ultimately dangerous.  The conclusion is breathtaking in its fundamental ignorance - the long-term health implications of vaccination are well documented, clear and extraordinarily positive.  Effectiveness?  Did the Sun come up this morning?  Is the Earth Round?

      Government sites don't provide a disclaimer that they are pro vaccination, as that is obvious to anybody who reads them, or, indeed, to anybody with a live brain who has vaguely followed the public debate.  "AVN" is a deceptive and dishonest organisation who should be called to account.  Why won't it publish the disclaimer if it has nothing to hide?
