Police called in by anti-choice zealot because mum exposed child to chicken pox!

[Guest guest]

Ken McLeod is the complainant against the AVN in many, many different government outlets; he has written letters to every venue where I have spoken for the last 3 years, telling them lies about me (that I believe in reptilian overlords and microchips to cull 3/4 of the human race amongst others! - things which he knows to be untrue) and urging them to cancel our bookings. Now, he is pulling random people from the AVN's facebook page and filing complaints against them because of things they have done that he disagrees with. The article below is from the West Australian Cambridge Post newspaper and it is in this week's edition. The editor's name is Brett Christian and I believe he would be receptive to hearing from you, your friends and family regarding your opinion on this sort of misuse of power. I am 53 and when I was a child, everyone's mothers exposed them to childhood diseases. There was no fear and there was certainly no talk that this was a criminal activity. How much power do we want the government to have over us and our children? While this became news locally, how many West Australians were killed by medical error, adverse reactions to properly prescribed medications and hospital-borne infections. Why isn't that written up in the newspapers? According to the most conservative estimate of the number of people in Australia killed by medical error - 18,000 - Cambridge WA loses more than 1 person every day from this cause. Why isn't the government, medical community and yes, the police, involved in ensuring that sort of medically-caused death doesn't continue at the current high rate? Why doesn't the Editor of the Cambridge Post investigate that? Why doesn't he assign an investigative journalist to do an in-depth article on this issue including interviewing the 8 grieving families each week who have lost loved ones to medical mishaps? (determined by dividing the population of Cambridge into the population of Australia and then using the most conservative figure of medical deaths - 18,000 [could be as high as 54,000] into that number - arriving at nearly 8 deaths per week)But no - a mother who exposes her child to chicken pox - a disease that has never been considered deadly (the vaccine was not introduced to prevent deaths but rather, to allow mums to continue working so the country would not lose out financially) and an action that all our mothers and grandmothers would have taken - is threatened with police action or child protection because a man who considers vaccination to be a sacrament of medicine, reported her to the authorities and they didn't laugh him down.Keep in mind that giving someone a live virus vaccine (chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella) is already deliberately infecting them with the virus. Also remember that getting chicken pox as a child is preferable to getting it as an adult and you can get chicken pox from the vaccine - you can also get shingles as a child because you were vaccinated.If you would like to write to the paper with your opinion on this piece, here are their details:e : mailbox@... | p : +61 (08) 9381 3088 |
