The National Immunisation Conference was held in Adelaide in June 2018. Linked below are three video panel discussions\/presentations which should be of particular interest to the freedom of choice community. Links to all other available video panel discussions\/presentations are at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has been following this issue for any length of time would not be surprised to discover that the McCafferys\u2019 and Hughes\u2019 predatory and dishonest campaigns were largely responsible for both the federal No Jab No Pay and state-based No Jab No Play laws.<\/p>\n
Of course, they didn\u2019t do it alone \u2013 government doctors and scientists, vaccine manufacturers, lobby groups and a complicit media all played a role in the hijacking of Australian vaccine policy.<\/p>\n
Their campaigns were predicated on multiple falsehoods, which our time-poor elected leaders fell for, hook, line and sinker. These include:<\/p>\n
Whooping Cough is easily preventable by vaccination.
\nWhooping Cough deaths have increased.
\nNo baby should die from Whooping Cough in this day and age, in a wealthy country like Australia, and that if only everyone was vaccinated, there would be no deaths from Whooping Cough.
\nVaccination rates are plummeting.
\nConscientious objection rates had sky-rocketed.
\nWhooping Cough was virtually eradicated but \u201chas made a terrible comeback\u201d due to the aforementioned plummeting vaccination rates.
\nThe high Whooping Cough notification rate in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales is due to the low vaccination rate in that region (rather than diagnostic suspicion bias).
\nCriticism of them and their campaigns constitutes harassment, even when such criticism is published on our own forum.
\nAs we know, all of the above are false, and the McCafferys and Hughes know this, yet continue to promote these lies to this day.<\/p>\n
