and this is the true nature of AVN’s beliefs:
“Yes, I agree! While we are already seen as rabid, idiotic fringe-dwellers by so many in the mainstream, it does our argument no good at all to bring in conspiracy theories which, though we may subscribe to them, are unprovable.”

The AVN believe that the lizard people and illuminati intentionally orchestrated a swine flu outbreak so that a mind-control microchip could be implanted in the world’s population by the vaccine. Seriously, they believe this. Meryl wrote about this on the AVN blog, and linked to this article:

Dear Philip

I am responding to your email expressing your concern regarding the proposed changes to public health legislation in South Australia.

I should point out that this is not federal legislation but is proposed state legislation released for consultation and discussion by the Labor South Australian Government.

The other matter you need to be aware of is the South Australian State election will be held on March 20th 2010. As this week (Dec1st-3rd) is the last sitting week of South Australian Parliament and the Bill has not been introduced to the South Australian Parliament, nor has consultation on the Bill been finalised. Therefore this issue is unlikely to be debated before the new State Parliament sits in May 2010.

The Liberal Party will continue to obtain briefings and consult with stake holders on this proposed legislation and should we win the election in 2010, then as the Minister responsible, I will ensure we have the best information available on which to progress this Bill, if we choose to do so.

Yours sincerely,

I’ve never read so much rubbish and not surprising your suported by the AVN anti vax fanatics.

No truth to be found here sadly.

This is a SA issue but it is also our issue as a nation. This is very important. We have the opportunity to built momentum against this legislation now!

See full article here(link to the above article) (then you can come back to this email)

Thanks,

Dear elected representative,

Please respond as to your position regarding the South Australian Public Health Bill 2009, due for debate in Parliament in February, 2010.

This bill will expand public health powers, allowing for mandatory testing, incarceration, quarantine and medication or vaccination of SA residents and Australian citizens against their own wishes and without their permission.

It will also allow for the removal of children from their custodial guardians or parents should they choose not to vaccinate them against certain infectious diseases or to provide them with medical treatments which the parents’ own research has shown them is not in their child’s best interest.

Even within the medical community, the benefits and risks of vaccination are a matter for conjecture and debate. Many of those who are mainstream medical professionals do not believe that vaccination will necessarily be in everyone’s best interest as evidenced by the recent polls showing that only between 30 and 50% of doctors will accept vaccination against AH1N1 (2009), the swine flu, for their families or theirselves.

Therefore, requiring vaccination, medication or any medical procedure is inimical under the laws of any free society.

As an elected representative of the people of the State of SA in the Commonwealth of Australia, it is my will that you inform me of your position on this legislation.

Kind regards,
[Your name]
