Readers should also have a look at this document.

“Meryl Dorey’s Trouble with the Truth, Part 1
How Meryl Dorey Lies, Obfuscates, Prevaricates, Exaggerates, Confabulates and Confuses in promoting her Anti-Vaccination Agenda.

By Ken McLeod, with technical assistance by Tabitha-Ann Gooley & Tom Sidwell”

While this list is by no means comprehensive, it’s indicative of how Dorey operates.

Yes the history is interesting and I have learned a lot about how wiki works. Basically you can only use references from credible sources which are mainly restricted to the Main Stream Media (MSM). You cannot directly reference hardly anything from the actual AVN website If you find any good MSM references talking about how dangerous the AVN is then please put them on the discussion page for AVN wiki or edit the article yourself using citing the references.

Also, I’d be interested in what you think of the Generation Rescue wiki

I find these blog posting really inane, childish and lacking in honest debate. Hope you’re all having fun in the circle jerk of self-righteousness. If you’re gonna throw around disdainful ad hominems such as ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ at least address the points you disagree with in a meaningful way. Its as if “Conspiracies” don’t ever actually exist. Except when Congress has to come along and apologize for creepy gov’t experiments, but those are just relabelled “mistakes”. MK Ultra anyone? Tuskegee syphilis study?

Yeah, but Ken Ham’s brand of nonsense typically doesn’t lead to people dying.

I wonder if giving her the award, and announcing it, doesn’t just giver her another opportunity for free publicity. That debate always arises, but in this case it’s not a specific response to a new statement by her, it’s just drawing attention to her out of the blue. Not sure that’s a good idea. In a perfect world everyone would see the information about her, conclude she’s a crank, and move on. Sadly in the real world too many who see her media blitz in response to the award will agree with her. Of course, one is too many.

Meryl Dorey is 100% correct. People alive today didn’t die of childhood diseases 30 years ago (by definition).

@drow
Plancton is also killed by the billions. But those softies keep protecting those damn whales.
It´s unfair.
