Jane Hansen must be so proud!
Warning: This blog contains correspondence which is of an abusive and violent nature. The language in some of these emails is also quite strong. If you have children who may view this information, please make sure they are protected. If you yourself would prefer not to be exposed to this, do not read past the next warning below.
This last few days has seen an escalation of the hate speech, vilification and rhetoric targeting those of us in the community who have chosen not to vaccinate their children or to vaccinate selectively. The focus of that hatred has, once again, been the AVN, our members, anyone in the community who disagrees with the mainstream medical mantra when it comes to vaccination and myself, Meryl Dorey.
Jane Hansen from the Daily Telegraph as well as other Telegraph ‘reporters’ has been instrumental in whipping the public into a frenzy with their hate speech and outright vilification. Unfortunately, many Australians believe only what they read in the newspaper and often don’t do their own research about these issues.
According to Jane Hansen, I abused and harassed Toni McCaffery, mother of a child who died from whooping cough. This is despite the fact that I have never spoken with her except to say hello in passing when we were both in Sydney for a television program. Yes, I did post information onto her Facebook page when lies were being told about me – and at that time, she responded as follows:
In fact, the only time I had direct correspondence with Toni McCaffery - correspondence that was initiated by her on my blog - here is what I said:
I think you are in incredibly brave woman and I applaud you on your crusade to make some sense out of Dana's short life. You are trying to prevent other children from going through what Dana and the rest of your family did, because when a child dies or is made ill - it is not just the child who suffers - the ripples extend throughout so many different levels.
I have experienced that myself and I am doing the same thing that you are for the same reason - because of the serious injuries my own child received from his vaccines.
Mothers are motivated by what their own children experience and you and I are both motivated by the same emotions - caring for children and wanting to keep them healthy. The only point of contention between us is how best to achieve that.
I don't know how this conversation would fit into Jane Hansen's twisted worldview, but I don't think any reasonable person would consider this to be abuse or harassment. I have only the greatest respect and sympathy for David and Toni McCaffery and know that all AVN members feel the same.Not one person I know of in the AVN including myself would ever condone the abuse of another person for any reason – let alone as a result of their tragic loss of a child!
Orchestrated hate campaign may have tragic consequences
In my previous article on this subject, I posted links to three previous blogs I had written regarding the McCaffery family and the accusations that have been made against myself and other AVN supporters. For those who are interested in reading that side of the story, I will post the links below once again.
Why I did what I did – why I do what I do
A Grieving Family and Baseless Accusations
AVN Response to Sydney Morning Herald Article – 27/7/10
Now, due to the lies told by Jane Hansen at the Daily Telegraph, myself and others in the pro-vaccination choice community have been on the receiving end of a large number of abusive and threatening emails. Should anything happen to any of us, the blame should be laid fairly and squarely at the door of Jane Hansen and the publisher of News Ltd newspapers here in Australia – and it wouldn’t be the first time either.
Below is a selection of letters sent to me directly and to the AVN blog and website over the last 2 days to provide an example of the sort of treatment we have suffered at the hands of those who, due to Jane Hansen’s obsessive hate campaign, now mistakenly believe that either I or any AVN member have been abusive towards a family in their grief.
Please note – the language in many of these messages is both violent and, shall I say, colourful. If you have young children who might see these messages or are opposed to being exposed to this sort of language yourself, please do not read any further. Remember, these messages were received over just the last two days.

You fucking low life pieces of shit!
You lot have to be the dumbest, most ignorant arseholes on the face of the planet.
How could you attack and harrass a couple who had just lost a child because what they were saying was going against the lies and propaganda that you fuckwits are trying to spread. And since when does ANYTHING have to do with GOD when it comes to science you bunch of piss poor excuses for people.
I hope each and every one of you experiences the death of a child due to your ignorance. Just don't let your little dumbarse offspring play anywhere near my children. I can't believe that people can be so fucking arrogant that they would even risk not only the safety of their own child but spread such absolute bullshit that they would risk decades of disease irradication and risk bringing back those diseases to the most vulnerable in our society. And
as for you Dorey, i hope you drop dead of the most vile painful thing immaginable you low life scum slag!!!!!!!!!

The behaviour of Meryl Dorey is disgusting, hounding and taunting a family who lost their daughter to Whooping Cough and using the dead babies memorial for her own agenda. Lets all pray that a member of Meryl’s family dies as a result of not being vaccinated and that will be karma. Personally if I were the babies father I would come hunting for Meryl. I certainly hope the government take the lead and start criminal neglect proceedings against people whose kids die from preventable causes?

What a waste of time this blog is. I thought there would be some logical argument against vaccination, but it seems to me to be a meeting place for luddite, flat-earthers with the collective intelligence of a common goldfish. Fancy basing an entire thesis on a single, debunked journal article. And you guys think you have intelligence, please don't home school, your children don't deserve it. Actually, I think God's only mistake was allowing advocates of the AVN to breed. So go on, do something predictable and troll me, but only if you have a legitmate argument against vaccination,....guess i'll be waiting awhile. You may get a response, if I could be bothered replying to halfwits. I'd be more likely to find stimulating conversation with my neighbours pet cat. If you have a pair, you'll leave this post up on your site, but I guess selective censorship seems to work for this organisation.

You lot are so foolish, I would be at peace if it were you lot only that died due to no vaccination however you leeches are the problem for millions of others. I have no empathy for your foolish followers and I look forward to your site being shut down. As a welfare worker I can see how money is wasted with such nonsense as your site. May all you unvaccinated neanderthals drop dead so the rest of us dont need to listen to your ill advice. What a waste of money your site is.
I have now spent some time going through all of your bullshit and propaganda on this website, seriously, it is worse than the shit that comes out of Kim Jong Un's mouth. Why was I wasting my life reading your shit? Well I happened to see a story on news.com.au highlighting what a bunch of fucking pieces of shit you have all been to several familes who have lost children to preventable (through vaccination) illnesses. Seriously, I hope that you are infected with every preventable disease on the planet, that you suffer excruciatingly, and then ultimatly removed from the gene pool. Fuckwit moronic cunts like yourselves are exactly the reason why this country is becoming a joke. I have heard of stories of you harassing people who dont agree (like myself) with your wacked out, fucked up views. Rest assured, if you harass me it will be the last thing you ever do. Please fuck off and die (ASAP),
